Shipping to USA restored!! After several weeks of uncertainty, questions and missinformation, pending and returned packages have started to ship again and what you see is a first lot, picked up just a few minutes ago. New rules established are as follows:

*Standard shipping is not possible anymore, just tracked/registered so these are the only options now, with a few extra cents added to cover the mentioned below.

*Delivery Duty Paid costs, paid by us upfront.

*Tariffs should not be applied to music records and books but until I receive next invoice by Post, no extra cost is applied. Let's say we "eat" these.

To sum up, tracked/registered shipping costs are basically the same as they were in August at arduamusic.com. If you live in USA and were waiting for this news before ordering, you have green light now!

Special thanks to all patient customers that never complained or asked for a refund!

Despite having received several emails and hold meetings with Spanish Post representatives confirming shipments to USA including music records were not subjects to tariffs, I have received a first lot of returned packages.

Shipped by tracking service or standard, seems someone at customs cannot read or simply decided to reject packages. In an era when human intelligence seems to be gone, sometimes one wishes for machines to take over.

As you read this, I am holding new shipments to USA while waiting for further information. Apologies to all affected, I will give more details as soon as I have them.
