E-mail gift certificates can be ordered in any even dollar amount from $5 to $1000, and they arrive via e-mail to your recipient within hours of your payment being validated.

E-mail gift certificates never expire, and they can be used to purchase any item on the Guitar Nine Records/Guitar Music 9 site. You can even attach a custom gift message to further personalize your gift.
Gift certificates are valid online at www.guitar9.com or for fax, mail or phone orders. Gift certificates are not redeemable for cash and cannot be returned for a cash refund. Gift certificates are limited to use by recipient only, and are nontransferable. Gift certificates may not be used to purchase gift certificates. If an order exceeds the value of the gift certificate, the recipient must pay the balance of the order with a credit card, check, money order or PayPal. Any unused balance will be issued to the recipient as a new gift certificate. Gift certificate cash value is 1/10 of one cent. Gift certificates are not valid for prior purchases.
Using your gift certificate is quick and easy:
- Choose the items you want and add them to your Shopping Cart.

For orders of 1 or 2 CDs, we use bubble-lined padded mailers, which provide excellent protection against potential damage.
Larger orders are shipped either in brand-new, U.S. Post Office-supplied Priority Mail shipping cartons, or in brand-new, certified 200lb. test strength shipping cartons, with generous amounts of interior bubble wrap and/or packing peanuts.
Boxes are then labeled and wrapped in performance-grade carton sealing tape.

Why Shopping Online via Secure Server is Safe
You've all heard a lot of talk about whether shopping on the Internet is safe. The fact is that in 2012 on-line shoppers will spend well over $530 billion dollars according to Forrester Research.
The primary concern of on-line shoppers is that their credit card information will somehow end up in the wrong hands. Secure web sites such as PayPal use Secure Commerce Server technology, which encrypts your order information, keeping it private and protected. It's a Netscape technology called "SSL" (Secure Sockets Layer) and it's used by us and all the other major commercial shopping sites, including: The Wall Street Journal, Barnes and Noble Books, Amazon, FTD Flowers, Microsoft and Apple Computers. It is actually safer to transmit your credit card information over the Internet (by any means) than it is to use your credit card in your local restaurant.
What most people don't realize is that shopping with your credit card is actually safer than paying by check. In the event that there is a problem with your purchase, the credit card company will remove the purchase from your bill and the on-line merchant is not paid. In the event that your credit card number is stolen, the credit card companies do not hold you responsible for any unauthorized purchases. We at Guitar Nine Records have personally purchased (over the past seventeen years) everything from airline tickets to flowers, CDs, books, software, computer hardware, guitars, recording equipment and clothing.
So feel free (and safe) join the two- to four-hundred million other people that are experiencing the pleasure of on-line shopping.
Ordering With PayPal
To pay for your order using PayPal you must first establish an account at www.PayPal.com. PayPal is a free on-line payment clearing house that is linked to your bank account(s) and/or credit card(s) for sending and receiving money electronically over the web. You can use the funds in your checking account, or use your credit card, to pay for purchases at this and other commercial web sites.
You can also use your PayPal account to pay for commercial purchases or to make personal and business payments as well as for any of your purchases at on-line auctions, such as at E-bay.
Click on the PayPal banner below and it will take you to their site where you can register and establish a free account, and you'll also earn $5 free cash for becoming a new customer.
