How do I request a catalog of merchandise?
Because we are mostly an Internet retailer, we do not print a catalog. All of the items we carry can be found at our online store at YEAStore.org, or on site at drum corps shows and at large regional USBands shows, USBands States, All-States, and Nationals shows.
What happens when an item is on back order or you are out of stock of an item?
Most items at the YEA Store are exclusive products that you'll find no where else. Due to the wide selection of products we carry, items will sometimes become temporarily unavailable. We make every effort to get out of stock and back-ordered products back into inventory as quickly as possible, however, the manufacturer of an item may also be out of stock which could cause a much longer delay.
The price, shipping cost, and shipping time for closeout/discontinued items varies on the availability of the item. The number of close/out-discontinued items ordered is subject to change. For example, if you order three closeout/discontinued items and it is discovered that only two are available, we will cancel the unavailable item and its price from your order and ship the two products we were able to obtain. It is not guaranteed that we will be reordering an item, so you will be contacted if an item you ordered is going to be on backorder or will be discontinued.
