General Shipping Info

Most orders for CDs, CD treatment, contact enhancers and vibration control devices are shipped within two business days. We prioritize shipment of orders placed with expidited shipping methods (Next Day Air, 2nd Day Air and 3 Day Select). But, because we are a small company, we can not guarantee same day shipping for any order.

Orders containing speaker cables, interconnects, power cords and power strips take 10 - 14 business days to ship. All Clearview cables are handmade and given 3 proprietary sound-enhancing treatments prior to shipment. Because of the personal attention given to each cable, our ready-to-ship inventory is minimal. Cables given our add-on PLUS upgrade take an additional week to ship.

Orders for stock-size platforms, amp and speaker stands, and SAMSON racks with clear lacquer finish generally ship within a week. Maple products with toned or black lacquer finish are custom, made to order items. The turnaround time for customized wood products is 6 to 8 weeks.

Shipping Info For U.S. Customers

The shipping charge for your order is automatically calculated by the UPS online database. This price is based on the weight of your order, the delivery options you've selected and your zip code. We do not add a profit margin to our shipping charges and attempt to consolidate packages/shipments to reduce freight costs whenever possible.

You will not be charged for your order until all items ordered are in-stock and ready to be sent. Once your order has shipped, you will receive a shipping confirmation and tracking number from UPS. This information will be emailed by UPS to the address provided when your order was placed. If you fail to receive this email, please call 410-685-4618 for assistance.

Shipping Info For International Customers

Currently, our website will not automatically calculate the shipping cost for international orders. When your order is received, we will email you the most cost-effective shipping options for the order. We process credit card transactions manually, so we can add in the correct shipping charge for the option you select. Your credit card will not be charged until you approve the shipping cost and your order is ready to ship.

We've found the U.S. Postal Service is the least expensive carrier for most international customers. If you have a preferred shipper and/or method, please include this information when placing your order. This will help us process your order promptly.

CD Exchange Policy

We welcome you to exchange any CD that you've purchased from us if it does not suit your taste, excepting only Mapleshade's Music Festival because we're selling it so cheaply. Just wrap the CD well and send it with a note. Include your first and last name, middle initial, invoice number, and the disc you'd like in exchange. (U.S. customers only)

Exchanges must be:

1. Postmarked within 30 days of your invoice date;
2. Unscratched and uncrunched. Be sure to wrap returns well. We will ship the replacement CD promptly and at no cost.
