UPS

UPS Ground is used for most of our shipments, and UPS is the only carrier that supplies tracking information through our web site. Some exceptions do apply:

· Shipments to Alaska and Hawaii are sent via USPS Priority Mail. UPS Ground is unavailable in these areas.
· Packages over UPS size limitations are shipped by freight. Additional charges may apply. Such items are 88-note keyboards, pianos, risers, etc.

Brook Mays Music makes every effort to ship all available orders within 48 hours of purchase, Monday through Friday. However, sometimes credit card verification delays the order processing procedure and might delay the shipment.

UPS GROUND - Estimated Delivery Time

The following map is provided by UPS to show estimated delivery times from our warehouse location only (Dallas, TX, 75247). This timeline begins when your order is shipped from our warehouse, not when your order is placed or processed. Check your account order status page for items marked "Shipped" (UPS only) before using this map.

Most shipments and items labelled with the Green Music Note originate from our warehouse location at 75247. We do not guarantee the timeline provided by UPS, and suggest that this chart be used to estimate your time of arrival after you have received confirmation of shipment via E-Mail. Days of delivery are Monday-Friday only, and do not include weekends (Brook Mays also does not ship or process orders on Saturday or Sunday).
