Why can't I listen to your audio samples?
Our audio samples are saved in the mp3 file format. When you double click on the "Click here to listen" or audio icon link, your default media player (i.e. Windows Media Player or iTunes) should open and, after allowing time for the file to begin downloading, begin playing the file automatically. We extract our sound files in such a way as to keep file size is small so that they download quickly. If, however, you have a dial-up connection, or our web server is experiencing heavy traffic, there may be a delay in receiving the file. We typically have a promotional piece that include CD recordings of our new octavo releases so if you have consistent trouble and are interested in listening to our new titles, contact our customer service department at info@lorenz.com or (800) 444-1144 ext. 1. If we have any left, they will be happy to send you one.

What is "Standard" shipping?
Packages sent via Standard shipping are typically delivered via UPS Ground or the U.S. Postal Service, with the size of the order usually dictating which method is used. Orders ship from our warehouse in Dayton, Ohio and delivery to most locations within the U.S. typically occurs within 5 to 7 business days. If you need your order sooner, or require guaranteed delivery, we offer UPS Three Day, Second-Day Air or Next Day for an additional charge. (Those charges are listed under "How are my shipping charges determined?")
|
Can I pay for my order with my debit card?
Yes, however, if using a debit card, it is important to select "Debit" from the account type dropdown box on the billing screen. This will ensure proper reporting to your bank. If you marked credit but used a debit card, the transaction will be processed but due to the manner of reporting, it could appear as if a duplicate charge was made. Please note, this is not the case. Regardless of the account type selected, you will only be charged one time.
