SHIPPING RATES and RETURN POLICY
USPS

ORDERS are processed the NEXT BUSINESS DAY: Monday - Friday.
(Orders on Friday will be processed on Monday.)
PLEASE NOTE: The Rate on the Order Form is for Standard USA only, not for international.

International and outside Continental US: actual shipper's rate will be charged. (see below).
Overseas orders may be liable for customs tax. Additional duties/taxes may be charged in certain countries upon receipt of the merchandise. These fees vary worldwide. When applicable, any additional tax or duty is the responsibility of the customer in his own country, when the merchandise is to be delivered. JDMC does not charge you for nor pay these taxes, as they are specific to each country.

Arkansas Residents - Effective January, 2008: The % Sales Tax Rate applied to your order will be based upon where your order is "delivered" in Arkansas. (Per the new state requirement.)

Federal Express orders (2-day air) are processed the next business day. Friday's orders are processed on Monday.

PLEASE CALL 800-933-5362 to order if you need it sooner. NOTE: If you order an instrument to be shipped by 2-day air, it cannot be shipped the same day so it will not be received within 2 days. Because we have to set them up, it takes longer. It can be shipped by 2-day air, after we've finished setting the instrument up. We will email you with a projected date if requested.

Standard Shipping: Please allow 7 to 10 business days to receive your order.
For instruments: Please allow 10-14 business days to receive it as we set up each instrument before it is shipped.
