When should you send your WiplStix or Cricket to us?

All of our instruments have an estimated time for completion listed in their product descriptions. You should send the instrument and case (if you have one) before the estimated ship date of your new instrument.

Is this on the honor system?

Well, not exactly. We will not ship your new instrument until we get the trade-in instrument.

What shipping method should you use?

You can use FedEx, UPS or the U.S. Postal Service. It is up to you whether or not you wish to purchase insurance. You should get a tracking number, as the instrument is your property until we actually receive it.

Is there anything else?

Yes, the instrument you send us must be in playable condition and be free of cracks.
