Sky Play it Again $12.25 Shipping (hard hat area--this section under heavy reconstruction) -------- 1. Within the continental United States, you can choose UPS or U.S. Mail. 2. If you're in Alaska or Hawaii, see section on U.S. Mail. 3. If you're in Canada, shipping rates are comparable to U.S. Mail 1st class for smaller orders, and a bit higher for larger orders. Contact me for the actual rate for your proposed order. 4. Overseas rates are approximately $4 for the first CD and $2 for each one thereafter, although it does taper off somewhat, so let me know what you plan to order and I can give you an exact rate. *** Shipping via UPS Ground (Continental U.S. only) *** 1. UPS cannot ship to a P.O. Box, so if you order is being shipped via UPS, please provide a street address. 2. If you live in Alaska or Hawaii, see next section. 3. There is $0.50 discount for Ground delivery to a business address, so consider having your order shipped to your work or school address (a business run out of a home is considered a business address, just in case that applies to you). 4. *All* orders shipped via UPS will be insured. UPS covers the first $100 worth of insurance, and I will cover the rest. 5. Ground rates are as follows: 1 - 3 CDs $4.00/$3.50 (residential/business) 4 - 6 CDs $4.50/$4.00 (residential/business) 7 - 9 CDs $5.00/$4.50 (residential/business) - If your order is over $100, UPS shipping will be $3.00/$2.50 for Ground service, $6.00 for 3 Day Select service, and $8.50 for 2 Day Air service. - If your order is over $200, UPS shipping will be free for Ground service, $3.00 for 3 Day Select Service, and $5.50 for 2 Day Air service. *** Shipping via U.S. Mail *** Orders over $100 get free Special 4th class shipping, or Priority Mail shipping at the Special 4th Class rate. However, orders over $100 *must* be insured, so either you'll have to pay U.S. Mail insurance (see below), or have your order shipped via UPS (see above). Item Special 4th Class* 1st Class/Priority Mail** ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 CD/1 7" $1.50 $2.00 2 CDs/1 LP*** $1.50 $2.75 3 CDs/2 LPs/1 VHS/1 LD $1.75 $3.25 4 CDs/3 LPs $2.00 $3.50 5 CDs/4 LPs $2.00 $3.75 6 CDs/5 LPs/2 VHS/2 LD $2.25 $4.00 7 CDs/6 LPs $2.25 $4.25 8 CDs/7 LPs $2.50 $4.50 9 CDs/8 LPs/3 VHS/3 LD $2.50 $4.75 (Add $0.25 per additional CD for Priority Mail, or $0.25 per additional two CDs for 4th class. For shipping purposes, videos and laserdiscs count as three CDs.) * Special 4th class is equivalent to book rate, but applies to any type of recorded media. If you're in the Rocky Mountain Area, Special 4th class is about as fast as 1st Class. Distance is an important factor. For reference, it takes about 7-10 days to go across the country via Special 4th class, compared to 3-4 days via 1st Class. ** When you send something over 11 ounces via "first class" it automatically goes "Priority Mail," which is the U.S. Postal Service's "2 day delivery not guaranteed but we do our best" service. In my experience they generally do deliver in 2 days. *** LP shipping rates are per slab of vinyl, not per title, so if you order a 2x12", it is equivalent to 3 CDs in above chart. Insurance (for U.S. orders) --------------------------- (Skip this section if you chose UPS shipping. See above.) Insurance can be purchased for any U.S. order, whether it is shipped by 1st Class/Priority Mail or by Special 4th Class. Here are the USPS's rates: Liability Fee $0.01 to $50 $0.75 $50.01 to $100 $1.60 $100.01 to $200 $2.50 $200.01 to $300 $3.40 $300.01 to $400 $4.60 $400.01 to $500 $5.40 $500.01 to $600 $6.20 Ordering/Payment ---------------- Cheques or money orders made payable in U.S. funds to EAR/Rational Music. Please don't send me a bad cheque. If your cheque bounces, my bank will take me out and flog me, and I'll be forced to charge you $20 to cover costs. Since I'm a small operation, I can't afford to keep lots of items in stock. However, I order from distributors regularly and should be able to fill your order within a week. If I can't do that, I will let you know, and refund your money or keep trying, whatever you prefer. When you mail in an order, feel free to call, fax, or email as well, so I will have advance notice of what you are ordering. That way, I can do my best to have all of it in stock when I receive your cheque. Sales Tax (CO only) ------------------- If the order is being shipped to an address in Colorado, you must add sales tax (before shipping). The tax rates are fairly complicated, but it seems that the rate is 3% unless you are in the RTD district (Metro Denver up to Boulder) the rate is 4.15%.
