question

Why doesn't Band Shoppe offer coupon codes or school discounts?

answer

Band Shoppe is proud to offer every day low prices without relying on high/low pricing (a marketing tactic where a store initially charges a higher price for a product and then later discounts that price). If we do happen to offer a site-wide discount, this code would come directly from the Band Shoppe Newsletter or a Band Shoppe Sales Team member and never from a 3rd party site. We do however offer a biannual Custom Guard Sale, Holiday Gift Packages, and offer great savings in our Clearance Section.

By the way, you may have noticed that our checkout has a "Vouchers & gift cards" box. This area is used to redeem Gift Cards and the one-time-use voucher codes we may occasionally give to customers when something goes wrong.

question

Do you ship internationally?

answer

Band Shoppe is happy to ship orders world wide. All orders are shipped via FedEX or Priority Mail International. In order to provide the most cost effective shipping method, you must contact our Sales Team via email at sales@bandshoppe.com to complete your order. Any published shipping charges do not apply to orders shipped beyond the continental United States.

Duties/Taxes/Brokerage Clearance Charges
In all cases, the recipient is responsible for all duties and taxes levied by the local governing authority along with any costs associated with clearing the shipment with their respective customs authorities. We are not able to estimate these charges. If you need to estimate your local costs, we suggest you contact the appropriate authorities with your order information.

Shipping Timeline
International orders may take additional time to process due to the completion of additional documents required for shipping and item availability as all items must come into our main warehouse before orders can be shipped. As a matter of practice, we ship all international orders once they are complete to minimize the shipping expense to our customers. If you require certain items to be shipped as soon as available, please notify us in writing and we will quote the shipping costs based on your requirements. Please note: Shipping international orders in "multiple shipments" is considerably more expensive.
