And if you ask to try a mouthpiece, are you stuck with anything other than shipping costs?

I'm just writing this post so I get e-mailed for a response to my previous post

no, you only pay shipping

as long as you keep at least one of the mouthpieces, you're stuck with only shipping. However, if you order 3 and send all 3 back, they hit you with a restocking fee as well. I got burned this way... Eric

They have to clean the mouthpieces when you send them back too, so they hammer you for that. I don't know if that's included in shipping and what not, but i think it's around 6-10 bucks for cleaning fee, depending on the value of the mouthpiece.

Wow. I'd probably rather go to a local store to try it for free.

I just ordered 5 mouthpieces and sent 4 of them back using wwbw.com and it was a breeze. Shipping to me was free because my order was over $100, and there was no restocking fee when i sent the 4 mouthpieces back. There is a cleaning fee, but it is only 3.50 per mouthpiece for mouthpieces (under $400 each i think). All you have to pay for is shipping back, and they put the remaining balance back on your card. There is a 48 day trial period for most mouthpieces, which gives you plenty of time to try them. I recommend the Otto Link New York mouthpiece with a reasonable tip opening (7*) for tenor. It is more free blowing and sounded ten times better than even the traditional metal link i tried on my horn.

I'm just about to order four to try out. They told me, though, that it would be $6 shipping , plus return shipping and $3.50 per mouthpiece not purchased. I take it that if the total is over $100, they'll ship for free? I'm curious if that has changed, since that's not what I was told yesterday. They also said that they have a 45-day guarantee, but on a mouthpiece trial, the trial period is only two weeks. I'm going to call right now, if they're still open.
