Unuinsured items are sent at customers' risk We can declare a low value for customs purposes, but customers declaring low value should know that in the event of a shipping mishap, we are liable only for the declared, insured amount.

Orders may be stockpiled to reduce shipping charges. Airmail rates will be quoted on request. We also offer DHL air shipments overseas, but they are VERY expensive (ask for rates). We must have a phone or fax number for DHL shipments. We guarantee receipt of all records in satisfactory condition. Parnassus and the US Postal Service are liable only for the declared, insured value of packages.

Foreign customers, especially those buying few items, may wish to pay for them and have us HOLD them until a more economical package can be made. We are happy to provide this stockpiling service for any customer. Please just ask. Some customers have asked about the higher shipping charges. The reason for the odd formulas is that the US Postal Service now starts the overseas insurable parcel post rates at 5 lbs.
