How To Order A Joel Mabus Recording

(if ordering a BOOK, go here instead)

You have several options -- 

You can order directly from me by putting a check on the mail. 
It is as simple as that. I charge $16 per cd, postage & tax included*. 
For detailed directions for that, just click here. 

Or you can order from me using PAYPAL. 
This way you use a credit card -- or something like it -- to pay me over
the internet, and I will mail you your order directly. The price is the same: 
$16 per cd, postage & tax included*. If you are a
seasoned Paypal user, you know the drill. Pay to my usual email address:
joel.mabus@pobox.com    

For detailed directions click here: Paypal

If you would like to order my stuff with a credit card, you do have secure options with me or with other companies.
click here for more information.

Here is the traditional mail order option:

Mail-ordered CDs are Sixteen dollars* 
to your door anywhere in the US. 
                   (click here for Canada)

I try to keep it nice & simple to get your CD to you as quickly as I can. 
You will deal directly with me and won't mess with "Mister In-Between."

This arrangement may not have all the latest "point & clicks," 
but it works just fine, and there is no chance of anyone intercepting
your credit card number -- because you won't be using one. 
I fulfill orders personally, and see to it that your order is filled accurately
and mailed promptly. And it's the only way to get your CD autographed! 

In fact, I have been selling & shipping my recordings through the 
mail since 1987 -- even before the compact disc era. It's low-tech, 
but it works: you send dollars, and I send CD's.
Sound simple?  It is.  It’s just this easy:

    You mail me a personal check or money order for $16.00 *, 
    and I will mail you the CD of your choice.

(Two for $32, Three for $48, Four for $64... you do the math.)

That’s right, the complete price is 16 Yankee dollars for each CD,
which includes shipping & handling and any tax that might apply. 
(See the fine print below*)

Just to be crystal clear, here's the drill once more:

1. Decide which CDs you want (and how many of each),

2. Multiply the total number of CDs by $16, and write a check 
   for that amount made payable to Joel Mabus

3. Send that check along with a note of which titles you want to:

Joel Mabus
PO Box 306
Portage, MI 49081

Don't forget to tell me where to send the CDs! 
(You could send one to a friend as a gift -- or have it come to your home or office.
It's ok to split your order between different addresses.)

I will send them by first class US mail (or Priority Mail for larger orders)
to anywhere in the US. 
 
[The same price applies for Canada, but you must pay in US dollars.
You can do this via Paypal or with a money order. I will use airmail to 
Canadian orders.]

(For other foreign orders or alternative shipping options email me first for terms.) 

If I am on the road when your order comes in, your package 
may be delayed a day or two, but I have a pretty good track record 
with turn-around time. If you have a time crunch -- birthday or holiday -- 
let me know by email, and I'll try to help you out.

If you want any of the CDs autographed or personalized be sure to let me know! 
I won't sign them unless you ask me to.

Questions?  Don't hesitate to send me an email -- just click here.

How Like The Holly
Top Drawer String Band
Rhyme Schemes
Western Passage
Promised Land
Flatpick & Clawhammer

* The fine print:

The price is $16, unless there is a specific exception. 

Beginning in 2008: 
The "actual" price is $13.50 per CD with a shipping & handling fee of $2.50. 
That equals $16. If you return a CD because of a problem, you will be 
refunded the $13.50 if you wish – or get a replacement free of charge.
Orders that ship to an address within the state of Michigan are, by law, 
subject to Michigan sales tax.
                                I WILL PAY THE TAX !
To accomplish that, I discount the price of Michigan orders to $12.74, 
then add the 6% sales tax of 76 cents and the shipping & handling fee of $2.50.  
Again, that equals $16 and the same refund of $13.50 is applicable if you 
return the item. My Michigan Department of Treasury Sales Tax License 
number is available upon request. Orders that ship to addresses outside 
Michigan are not subject to MI sales tax, and I do not pay sales tax for 
other state governments. 

Currently, the album FORTUNES is offered as a CD-R for $10, 
and that price includes S&H. Here's how that price breaks down:

If you are ordering the Fortunes CD-R for $10, 
the same deal applies, except that the "actual" price of the CD-R is $8, 
and the S&H fee is $2.  Michigan residents pay a discounted price of $7.56 
with tax of 44 cents to equal $8, plus the S&H of $2. If you return a defective
copy of this title, you will be refunded $8, or get a replacement.
