We ship worldwide! Metrowax currently ships all packages
using the United States Postal Service. We clean and tightly package our
records into sturdy boxes made specifically for mailing records. We tape all
the seams and clearly mark each box fragile, and we use computerized labels to
prevent address mistakes. All U.S. addresses are verified prior to shipping,
but it is very important that we have your correct shipping address at the time
of your order. Please do not assume you can email us your "new" address, rather
change it on the order prior to placing it. Sometimes we are *very* fast and
may send your box without checking our email! Please type any comments or
special instructions you have for us on your order before you place it for the
most efficient handling.
To track your package, please visit http://www.usps.com and use the tracking number
provided on your conformation email.
