The CME Difference:  CME's mission is to make sure your shipment will arrive quickly, carefully, and correctly. We realize that the online ordering of guitars and instruments, in general, can be a nerve-racking experience. We are here to put your mind at ease and make your transaction smooth and enjoyable! As musicians ourselves, we want to make sure everything gets to you the way it should, every time.

Most orders ship the same or next day:  
We greatly appreciate your patience, and are working hard to fulfill all requests as quickly as possible, while practicing recommended safety guidelines.

Our Bottom line: We care! This is something we take very seriously, because it's what you deserve. Our shipping, sales, and customer service teams are always striving to create the best experience for you. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, we want to know.

We Can Ship to Virtually Anywhere in the World

Chicago Music Exchange has great partnerships with UPS & FedEx, so you have peace of mind your order will arrive on time and in the same condition as when it left our store. Get your order in by 2:00 PM CST and it will ship that same day!

If the item is eligible for free shipping, and you choose that option, the order will automatically ship with either UPS Ground, FedEx Ground, or USPS (First Class or Priority Mail) depending on size and weight and as fast as possible.  

*For any trade or selling transactions at Chicago Music Exchange, due to the potentially sensitive nature of some of the finish materials used on instruments and the pending weather factor changes, we will typically wait up to 24 hours to open the gear sent to us. Then another 24-48 hours to process the instrument. IL residents are eligible for tax credits for trade-ins. We appreciate your patience!
