Shipping
Standard U.S. Shipping is free. Due to increased postage costs we have been forced to raise our Non-U.S. shipping rates. Non-U.S. rates are as follows:
You may combine as many product lines as you like within an order. Our various product lines do not always ship from the same warehouse. Therefore you may receive several shipments for a single order.
Sales Tax
With respect to orders being shipped to an Illinois address, we are required to collect sales tax at the rates in effect at the time of shipping your order.
Orders shipped to an United Kingdom address will be charged a 20% VAT.
Order Confirmation Number
Upon completing your order you will receive a confirmation number. We generally can look up your order with just your name but please have the order number ready in case we need it.
Processing an Order
Your order of in stock merchandise will arrive in 10-14 days, unless you have selected RUSH delivery. We will notify you if any item can not be shipped within 30 days and you will be given the option to cancel your order. Orders received over the weekend and on holidays will be processed the following business day.
How to Change Your Order
Alligator Records processes your orders very quickly. If you find that you have made an incorrect order, please notify us immediately by sending an e-mail to shipping@allig.com. If your order has not yet been processed, we may be able to correct it. However, if the product has already been shipped, we will be unable to change any portion of your order.

Alligator Records will notify you of any upcoming promotional opportunities and new product releases which interest you. If you wish not to receive these special mailings, please make sure to uncheck the box that reads: "I wish to receive special Alligator Records mailings", which is located at the bottom of the page where you fill in your shipping and billing address.

Return/Exchange Instructions
Provide us with the following information:
What are "Cookies"?
A 'cookie' is a very tiny piece of text, occupying just a few bytes on your hard drive. It's purpose is to let us know when you visit us. 'Cookies' help us evaluate visitor's use of our site, such as what customers are viewing. This information allows us to better focus on servicing our customers. The text, by itself, only tells us that a previous visitor has returned. It does not tell us, who you are, or your email address or anything else personal. If you want to give us that information later, that's your choice. You can control which 'cookies' you accept by setting your browser to accept all 'cookies' or to alert you every time a 'cookie' is offered. Then you can decide whether to accept one or not. The procedure for setting this up differs depending on the browser you are using. Utilize the "help" button on your browser for instructions. We want to be sure you understand that accepting a 'cookie' in no way gives us access to your computer or any personal information about you.
