The title says it all really.

I am looking for some trombone music for my daughter. My usual on-line suppliers say it will take about two weeks for it to come. As it is an exam piece, the ABRSM shop lists it but do they really have it in stock or is it going to take just as long for them to order it?

I believe that when you order from the ABRSM shop, the stock comes from the OUP in Oxford - at least that's what's on the invoice when I've ordered things from them in the past. I don't use them much and haven't recently. The website says it's "powered by Boosey & Hawkes". They've usually been efficient in posting things within a day or so but then I've usually ordered piano music so probably wouldn't compare to ordering trombone music.

There's a "contact the ABRSM shop" link at the bottom of the shop home page - it's probably worth emailing them before ordering to ask what the lead time would be to dispatch.

I've just ordered a load of grade 6 recorder music, and have just recieved a courtesy email to say the items I want are on order from the publisher.

Did it give you an idea of how long you will have to wait?

I put an order to their shop last week and it took about 3 days to come.

Only slight gripe was that the online postage said 2.90, but when the music arrived the printed invoice had charged us 3.90 for postage, which almost doubled the cost of the piece of music

I have twice needed harp music at short notice for daughter no. 2 - both times I have rung up ABRSM and they were very helpful about checking stock level. First time it was in stock, went in the post on the same day, second time not in stock and they were not sure about order time from publisher so I went back to usual internet supplier.

I use June Emerson Wind Music. Over 10 years of ordering for flute, sax, bassoon, and cornet, I have only once not had the music the next day.

No.
