Exquisite Detail
Here is the traditional mail order option in detail --
to make it easy I have
an order form in PDF which you can download and print and include with
your check: ORDER FORM
Or you can read below and do the math yourself
and send a letter:
Mail-ordered CDs are Sixteen dollars*
to your door anywhere in the
US or Canada.
(click here for
Canada)
(See
the fine print below* for refunds& breakdown of
prices)
It is as simple as this: you send me money,
I send you stuff.
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
ordering directly from me is 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:
Print out an order form by
clicking HERE!
OR:
-
Decide which CDs you
want (and how many of each),
-
Multiply the total number of CDs by $16, and write a check
for that amount made payable to Joel Mabus
-
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. (click here for
Canada)
(Besides CDs, I do offer paper
goods: My book, Parlor Guitar is $17 (total) and sheet music is $1 per page with
a possible s&h charge -- see the sheet music page)
If
I am out 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.
f 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.

About Canadian orders:
At current mail rates, the same price
applies for Canada as the US, but you must pay in US dollars.
You can do this with your bank's help on your personal check, or via Paypal or with a money order. I will use
international first class (formerly called airmail) to send Canadian
orders.
(For other foreign orders or alternative shipping options email me first for terms.)

* The fine print:
The total price for a CD 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, because that's where I live.
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.
