General Billing And Shipping Info 

Orders for CDs, CD treatments, brass items, speaker cables and most other in-stock items normally ship within 1-2 business days.  Orders for interconnects and maple platforms, speaker stands, and SAMSON racks with clear lacquer finish typically ship within 1-2 weeks.  All maple products with a toned or black lacquer finish are made to order and take 6-8 weeks to ship.  Mapleshade modified electronics and speakers generally take 2-3 weeks to ship.

For stock items, your credit card will not be billed until your order is ready to ship.  We require a 50% non-refundable deposit for all toned or black lacquer finish maple products, custom threading orders, and other custom work.  For custom items, your credit card will be charged 50% of the item cost when your order is placed.  The remaining balance plus shipping will be charged separately once your order is ready to ship.
