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 us with 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.

Do I have to pay taxes on my purchases?
There are no taxes on shipments outside Canada. Canadians will have GST or HST added to their total order (including shipping).

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.

About our website:

How do I listen to "RADIO MARQUIS"?
RADIO MARQUIS lets you listen to ten great Marquis tracks while you are shopping. To hear this music, you need Flash. If RADIO MARQUIS does not play, go to the Macromedia Flash site to download this free software

How do I listen to sound samples?
Many CD pages on our site have links to sound samples. To play these samples in mono or stereo, click on the button.

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.

What if I have more questions?
Just give us a call! Telephone: 888-627-6165 or 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.
