discuss my next schedule opening, see if it works for you and how to get me the
deposit that makes the wheels roll.
We
want Frequently
Asked Questions, below) We are always busy, doing rebuilds or restorations, so our
appointments are limited and although I understand many players are unable to
try a horn before buying it otherwise, we really are limited to how many visits
we can schedule you. We don't charge for trial visits, so that does come
right out of
our pockets.
Some of the most common questions
i get asked are,
"How do i get to reserve a spot in your work schedule, or
how long until a WWS stock horn gets rebuilt?
The best plan i have been
able to devise, is a "Deposit System". Work, on almost anything, gets
scheduled right away when i receive a deposit for the work or sax you have
interest in.
How
does the 3 day trial return work? we can't just " rent"
(send a horn out, with a check for surety) horns for a weekend for free ( it
happens way more often than people think). So, at this time we will have
a "25.00 for a handling fee" policy on any return
and then the 5.00 per day for returning late, UNLESS a sale is made sometime
later, for any horn.
How
do I try a "WWS stock" Sax?
You can make an appointment to come in and play it, but if you are out of Washington
state, you
must pay for the sax and shipping (your choice of shipping, as you pay for it)
in advance, then we ship it to you. once you receive it you have three
days to play it and decide if you love it, or want to return it. You must
let me know via email or phone, by the third days end, or it is sold. if
you decide to return it, it must be packaged same as it was received and
shipped back on the fourth day (or sooner). As soon as it is received
here, you will be refunded all but your shipping and any paypal , etc. fees,
asap.
What
does the "on
hold" after
the description mean?
This designation means the sax has had a deposit paid on it and it is waiting
for it's turn in my queue to be rebuilt. Likewise, "on
trial" means
it's been paid for and shipped... and someone is taking advantage of our three
day trial period, to play, evaluate and make sure they love the
horn.
Are All
Your saxes completely rebuilt and ready to go?
Sorry, many horns have not been rebuilt yet and
will not play easily, but could be rebuilt, if scheduled for a "Trial" (see
our Info and FAQ's
pages). Our work schedule is in the left margin of every page. We
usually have about 60 saxes in stock every day and are always restoring, or
rebuilding what we have, but it's a process.
When
do you start work? I publish my work schedule on the left margin of
my website pages, when it's turn comes up in the queue, I start it.
How much
is shipping? Shipping varies with
distance, but generally, i can ship, via
Fedex, Altos for about 45-65.00 and a tenor from 55-75.00. Insurance
is extra and you pay for how much you want... that is usually about .50 per
hundred. Shipping out of the continental U.S. is done by USPS, when the
box meets usps guidelines and runs from 120.00-160.00. UPS and Fedex are
used when the box is too large for USPS and it is generally 3 times the UPS
figures.
Why
do you charge Pay Pal "handling" fees? At this point,
it's the best way to keep prices overall, from going up. If i just included
a fee on every sax, my overall prices would be higher for everyone. sure,
i could offer a cash discount, but most people pay cash, check or money order,
so i do it this way.
How
does the 3 day trial work? Well, it's there if you want it. For
example, you live in NY city and want the sax, but need to be sure it's just
what i described it to be. You pay for it, i ship it. Once you get
it, you have 3 days to try it and let me know if you will keep it or send it
back. If you don't contact me by closing time the third day, it's
automatically sold. I don't usually give 3 day trials when saxes are
purchased in the shop, UNLESS you ask for it, (for example) because you want
someone else to check it our or something.
How
does the 3 day trial return work? we can't just
"rent" (seen a horn out with a check for surety) horns for a weekend for free
(anymore, it happens way more often than people think), so, at this time we will
have "25.00 for a handling fee" on any return and then the 5.00 per day for returning late.
