SHIPPING INFORMATION
Shipping rates updated on 5/15/2007 - UPS rates have gone up and Johnson's has lowered our rates on most orders!
GENERAL INFORMATION
Not only are our prices for strings, books, accessories, etc. competitive with those of much larger companies, but we pride ourselves on the speed with which we process orders. If received before 1 p.m. on a weekday, merchandise in stock (excepting instruments) will normally be shipped out that same day, or the next business day at the latest. We now ship most orders with Priority Mail. This service is trackable and in most cases faster than UPS ground (also much cheaper!).
RUSH SHIPPING
