Humbucker Music Info / Contact Page I'm Bob,the Humbuckin' Fool Humbucker Music began with a fellow who wanted to open a business selling products he truly believes in. Gone -should be-  the days of big box music stores that try to sell you what you don't need. Most big music stores attempt to sell every item on the street;  the person taking your order doesn't care what you buy, as long as he gets his commission. Well, we don't believe in that... If we suggest an item to you, it's because we've used it and it truly doesn't suck.

QUESTIONS:  While many online stores are just that, we're also operating as usual in our non-virtual  store.  Feel free to give us a call or an e-mail.  

Technical questions (like: What the heck does the ratio button on this compressor do?) should be e-mailed to: tech@humbuckermusic.com

Web order status questions (like: Can I get the tracking number on my shipment?) should be e-mailed to: sales@humbuckermusic.com

SHIPPING INFO:  UPS We prefer to ship your order to the address to which the credit card was issued.   In these days of heavy Credit Card fraud, while this may be a bit of a pain, it's in your and our best interest for security.   If we absolutely must ship to another location we might make an exception, but we'll need you to call your credit card bank and let them know you need to add a shipping address to your account.  They'll do it for you.  Often, people need an item shipped to their work address since no one is at home to accept the package.  In these cases, the customer will be responsible for an item received at their workplace from the moment anyone  signs for it there.   In other words, if we ship something to a place other than your billing address on your credit card, make sure you trust the person who will be receiving it.  Oh, and by the way...  We ALWAYS insure each package.

UPS GROUND TRANSIT TIMES:  This map below will give you an idea of how long UPS typically takes to deliver to your area.  If you're in New York City, it's 2 days.  Los Angeles, 4 days.  Chicago is 2 days, Knoxville is 1 day, and so forth.  Of course, we cannot guarantee and of these times, but this map below did come from UPS and they're pretty good at keeping schedules.

NOTE ABOUT "FREE SHIPPING":  Many items we sell have free shipping.  Now,  what this means is on these items we will pay for UPS Ground shipping to anywhere in the 48 Continental United States.    Naturally, we can't foot the bill for overnight FedEx to Timbuktu.   In addition, if you want something shipped 3 Day Select, 2nd Day Air, or Next Day Air, we will subtract the cost of Ground shipping from the actual shipping price.  That ought to be cool.   Bear in mind, this only applies to those items identified as having free shipping.  If you have any questions concerning shipping, just drop us a line or an email.  We'll answer 'em.

ABOUT CREDIT CARD FRAUD: We admit it.  We were burned once, but we've wised up.  If you're one of those dudes who is planning to purchase something with a stolen credit card, here's something you should know.   We work VERY closely with both local and state police to make sure you get busted.  Fact is, on one occasion we found an individual in Gardena, CA who ordered some gear with a stolen card.   As usual, we contacted the card issuing bank to verify authenticity.  Once we found out it wasn't authorized by the cardholder to be used, we contacted the local authorities in Gardena.  They had us ship an empty box to the individual where they awaited delivery and promptly arrested the dude (actually, even UPS got involved on that one).  Rest assured, if you're legitimate, you have nothing to fear.  If your're not, you're on your own.  Didn't Mother tell you not to play with stolen credit cards?

ABOUT SALES TAX:  Georgia residents will have to pay 7%.   We don't charge tax on ANY other state.

YOUR PRIVACY:  

We can guarantee you no one hates spam, email,  postal mail, or telephone, more than we do.  Your name, address, or phone number will never be sold to some freak whose going to wake you in the middle of the night asking you to try his new widget in your studio.

CREDIT CARDS:   At Humbucker Music, we use SSL (Secure Socket Layer) security to encrypt your personal information as well as your credit card information. For added security, we do not store credit card numbers on our servers. You will have to enter the number each time you purchase something. We think that's better than having your Credit Card or personal information stolen.

For those out there uneasy about online purchases:  The internet is actually a safer way of doing business with your credit card than what you probably do everyday with your card, such as giving your credit card to a waiter/waitress, or giving it out over a cell phone.

You will hear more and more companies backing the safety of the Internet for transacting credit card business. How do you think those "pay at the pump" gas stations work...they read the mag stripe on your credit card, then send it over the internet...unless somebody physically steals your card, it's a secure transaction...same here.
