More (Coda)… Despite the delays you hear about shipping many things these days we remain committed to getting things promptly and so far have had pretty good luck avoiding waits (bell covers aside – but still not too long). The adage “You’d better order Christmas presents at Halloween if you want them by Easter” seems to be getting more popular. Although there are some holdups music for the most part has not been slowed, and that’s partly because it does not arrive via a container ship from overseas, and publishers have worked hard to keep things on the shelf with less staff. Regardless, our Rush Speed/Reg Price service with the two larger publishers (Hal Leonard and Alfred/Belwin) consistently connects you with the source for about 75% of music for schools, every single week. Place your order by Thursday, we order Friday and its here in 2 business days. We cover the rush shipping. For this reason we like to call Thursdays, “Order Thursdays”.
Everyone please welcome George Langley and Stephen Pittman to our crew at Music Direct.
