    Ordering CDs from Marquis:

    Have your checkout pages changed?
    In June 2010 we upgraded the shopping cart software that powers our checkout process. Checkout is now easier and has more features - you can create a wishlist, and keep several different "Ship-to" addresses on file - great for regular gifts. If you have any questions or comments, just contact us at Marquis.

    Is your site secure?
    Yes, we use a secure server. Look for the lock symbol as you complete your order.

    How much do CDs and DVDs cost?
    CDs are US $16.98 each, except CDs in the Orion Master Recordings budget series, which are US $9.98 each. Two-CD sets are $19.98. DVDs are $19.98. 

    How much is shipping?
    Shipping is $3.50 per order to North American addresses, and $15 extra outside North America. If you’re having CDs sent to more than one person there is a shipping charge for each additional address.

    How are my CDs shipped?
    We ship from Toronto around the world, First Class Mail in Canada and Air Mail to the rest of the world. All items are carefully packaged to prevent damage during transit. Marquis tries to provide the best shipping service and lowest cost for our customers.

    When will my order arrive?
    Most orders are mailed out within 48 hours. Canadian orders can be expected to arrive within a week. American and international orders will take a little longer because they have to cross international borders and are handled by more than one postal system.

    I need my order right away. Can you help?
    We can arrange faster delivery by UPS or FedEx and will calculate the additional charge for you. Call us or send us an email for more information for those last-minute gifts.

    Do I have to live in a specific country to place an order?
    You can order Marquis music from anywhere at any time! We ship around the world via Air Mail.

    How do I order on-line?
    The site uses a shopping cart, much like a store would. To order an item, go to the page that features the CD, enter the number of CDs you want in the "Quantity" box, and click the "Add to Shopping Cart" button. When you finish shopping, you can see what’s in your Shopping Cart by clicking the "View Shopping Cart" button found on many pages of our site. From there, click the "Checkout" button. You will be taken to our order form. When it's completed, your order will be sent directly to Marquis in Toronto. You will receive a confirmation of your order by e-mail from Marquis.

    How do I order off-line?
    Use the online order area for Phone/Fax orders, or print out the following form. You can then send us your order by mail or fax. Or order by phone. If you order by mail, you can pay by Visa, MasterCard or by cheque (North America) or international money order (world-wide).

    What happens if a CD is out of stock?
    This hardly ever happens, but if it does we will contact you and you’ll be given some choices. If the CD will be available soon, it can be shipped at a later date with no additional shipping charge. Or, you may choose another CD. If you prefer, we will simply refund your money.

    How do I pay?
    All orders are pre-paid, so we need your Visa or MasterCard number and expiry date. This is a SECURE SITE. However, if you prefer, you can phone or fax your credit card number separately. We will not process your payment until your order has been shipped. If you would like to pay by cheque or money order, read “How to Order Off-line” (see above) for information about ordering by mail.

    Can I buy a gift and have it sent it to another address? Will you wrap my gift?
    Absolutely! When you place your order, use the "Ship-to" section for the other person’s address. Use the "Special Instructions" box of the on-line order form to request our gift-wrapping service. In that same box, remember to include a personal message for the gift card!

    Can you help me choose the right gift?
    If you’re not sure what to get that special someone, feel free to call us for gift advice. We would be pleased to help you in your gift selection.

    From the Marquis homepage, click on the “Information about artists on tour” link. On this page you will find a list of artists with a link to their website, Facebook or MySpace page. If the artists that interest you are not listed send an e-mail or call us at Marquis.

    If you would like to send fan mail to your favourite Marquis artist, you can do so by e-mail or snail mail care of Marquis. (info@marquisclassics.com or 30 Kenilworth Avenue, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M4L 3S3).

    How can I obtain sheet music?
    We don’t sell or have sheet music available for our recordings. There are many excellent sheet music sites available on the internet. Try searching by the title of the work you are after. If after your search, you still cannot locate what you’re looking for, contact us. Occasionally Marquis artists have more information, and we would be happy to forward your questions.

    Can I send my audition tape, CD demo to Marquis for consideration?
    If you believe that you have a recording that demonstrates quality musicianship and fits the Marquis catalogue, we are interested in hearing your music. In addition to your demo, you should include your phone number and return address; a biography and press clippings, if available. We try to give each artist and their music the time they deserve when reviewing the packages, so we ask for your patience in receiving a response. This can take some time -- about three to four months.

    Are your CDs available in stores?
    In North America and many other countries across Europe and Asia our CDs, particularly new releases, are available in major record stores. For older titles, you may have to place a special order from your favourite record store – or you can always order directly from this site. You can also find us at on-line retailers, such as Amazon. Our titles are also available internationally for legal download at iTunes.

    How can I be added to your mailing list?
    Just ask! Whether by telephone, fax, snail mail or email, send us your mailing and/or email address and we will be happy to add you to our mailing list. You can request to unsubscribe from our mailing list at any time. If you would like to receive our newsletter, just enter your email address in the space provided at the bottom of the Marquis homepage, and click on “submit”.

    Will I end up receiving unwanted mail from people and organizations I don’t know?
    Our mailing list is very important to us, and therefore it is important that we respect the privacy of all of those people who have requested to be part of the Marquis mailing list. From time to time, we allow reputable companies who offer quality products similar to our own to use our mailing list. If even these few mailings are too much – click on “Do not rent my name” to assure your total privacy.

    Just give us a call! Telephone: 888-627-6165. Outside North America call 416-690-7662. We are pleased to answer your questions about the CDs in our catalog, ordering and paying for CDs, and the status of orders that are in process.
