Liner Notes

Packing
Prepare to be impressed. We have arguably the best packing process around. This piece will ship double-boxed, and fully insulated, taking extra care to ensure there's no pressure against the face. First, the component is first wrapped in 8mil plastic. Then, the unit is strapped to a plate inside an inner box to prevent shifting, and padded on all sides. We then suspend the inner box inside a double-walled outer box using shock-resistant foam corners.
Shipping
This piece ships to the contiguous United States for a flat rate of $50, which includes our packaging and our insurance. Of course, we'll ship anywhere in the world, just drop us a line and we'll give you an estimate – even if you're just curious.
