SHIPPING
Delivery time for most new gear orders shipped by ground is 2-5 business days. If your order is time-sensitive, let us know in advance and we’ll do whatever we can to get it to you on time. Orders shipped to a location different than your credit card billing address might require extra security verification. Your tracking number will be emailed within 1-2 business days after shipment.
Shipping rates quoted in our shopping cart are for ground delivery within the continental USA. Most orders are shipped via UPS or Federal Express. New gear orders are drop shipped direct to you from our distributor or from the manufacturer’s warehouse. Most vintage drum gear orders are shipped from our warehouse in Libertyville, Iowa.
If you won’t be home to accept delivery you’re welcome to request signature service upon delivery. Please note that Vintage Drum Center can not accept liability for deliveries left outside of a residence or shipments delivered to apartment complex offices or common drop-off points.
