Where is my order? 

If you have received a shipment notice, then your order is on its way.

We use Royal Mail Standard 1st or 2nd Class Delivery to send our items out for normal sheet music orders. For larger orders there is the option of a courier service. This helps keep our costs down and give you the best deal.

Royal Mail should take 1-2 working days for 1st Class or 2-3 working days for 2nd Class. However we note that 2nd class can take up to 5 working days (excluding weekends and bank holidays) 

Using Royal Mail does not allow us to guarantee delivery times.
