Due to increased capacity challenges that our shipping carriers are facing, the listed shipping timelines are our goal, but during this period please allow additional time for transit and tracking updates. We are working hard to get your orders out as quickly and safely as possible!
The majority of our in-stock orders will be processed within 1-3 business days (M-F), regardless of the shipping method chosen during checkout. However, some orders may experience slightly longer than normal processing times. We are processing all orders as quickly as possible and we will automatically notify you via email once your order has shipped.
PLEASE NOTE: During peak holiday seasons, weekends or high traffic promotions - processing orders may take additional time beyond the 1-3 business day window.
For US Orders:
In stock, non-pre-order items shipping to the United States are sent by UPS or US Mail (USPS) depending on weight and usually take 7-10 business days to arrive.
For APO/Military Addresses:
Please expect an average transit time of 10-21 business days.
For International shipments (including Canada and Mexico):
International orders will be shipped international post (mail) and may take up to 21 business days to arrive. International shipments may be held by your local Customs Authority for an additional 10-14 days depending on the customs laws in your country. Therefore, it is best to allow 4-8 weeks for delivery. Unfortunately, at this time we are unable to provide tracking for international orders.
For Backorder Items:
If you do not receive your item(s) within the above time frames, one or some of your items may have been backordered, in which case we will ship the remainder of your order to you. We will notify you if any item cannot be shipped within 30 days and you will be given the option to cancel your order.
Please note: For orders received over the weekend and on holidays, we aim to process them following business day.

Our Pre-Order items normally have a scheduled release date when they are initially announced, however due to unexpected changes in product production, warehouse operations, or other issues outside of our control (such as the COVID-19 pandemic) – the scheduled release dates are only estimated time-frames and not exact dates until the product is closer to being released. Please be aware that release dates are subject to change.
When will my Pre-Order Arrive?:
If you live in the U.S. and would like to receive your music on or around release date, please place your order no later than 10 days before the scheduled release date. International orders will not arrive by the US release date and may take an additional 3-6 weeks to get to you.

.ALAC file downloads explained:
.ALAC is a digital download format associated to Apple Lossless Audio Codec (ALAC). These are hi resolution audio files used for storing digital music in lossless format without losing any sound quality from the original audio source (i.e. an original master studio or live concert recording).
Can I Download .ALAC files to my Handheld Device, iPhone, or iPad?
In most cases, Yes. These files are compatible with many digital music players and/or software. As they are larger files, they require more hard drive space than MP3s and FLAC ones.
FLAC file downloads explained:
FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) is an audio coding format for lossless compression of digital audio (preserving the sound quality from original audio source, i.e. an original master studio or live concert recording) . Digital audio compressed by FLAC's algorithm can typically be reduced to between 50 and 70 percent of its original size and decompress to an identical copy of the original audio data, requiring less hard drive space than .ALAC files.
Can I Download FLAC files to my Handheld Device, iPhone, or iPad?
FLAC files require conversion to ALAC for iTunes playback, all other digital music players and/or software support them as they are.
