Marketplace Policy

DELIVERY & SHIPPING

Due to the nature of our marketplace and the majority of our products coming from independent sellers and vendors, each delivery window and shipping fee will vary from seller to seller. The "Estimated Delivery" dates on each product page represents the delivery window for that specific product. With this in mind, the below provides an average delivery time across the Apollo Marketplace.
Continental U.S. delivery time - 2-5 days
Canada delivery time - 7-10 days
International delivery time - 7-14 business days

SHIPPING COSTS

Upon finalizing your purchase, the shipping fees are calculated by aggregating the individual rates set by each seller for their products. For instance, if one of your selected items has a shipping fee of $5 from Seller 1, and another item incurs a $6 charge from Seller 2, your combined shipping total at checkout will be $11. However, should your order from any individual seller meet their stipulated free shipping threshold, the shipping fee attributed to that seller's items will be waived, therefore reducing your overall shipping costs at the time of checkout.

RETURNS

Each seller and vendor has a unique policy as it pertains to their business and products. Because of this, each shipping and return policy will be mentioned under the Seller's Policy tab on the product page. Unless specifically stated under the Seller's Policy tab, original shipping costs are not refunded.

About The Owners

Fearless entrepreneurs, Sue and Paul have owned, operated, and run many different small businesses over the years. With Paul’s wood working and business skills and Sue’s creativity and marketing experience, they have put their skills to the test flipping homes, selling medical lighting, creating custom wood puzzles, cutting boards, and crown molding, laying epoxy flooring and framing diplomas and lithographs, and even mixing holistic moisturizers and tonics.

Music was not in the picture until a chance meeting with Glenda Allison of Berryville, Arkansas. Glenda introduced Paul and Sue to the thumb piano and their next adventure. Mountain Melodies immediately became a way for Paul and Sue to utilize all of their previous experience and still push their creative boundaries. They honor their motto, “Music Made Simple for all Ages” while continuing to create beautiful one-of-a-kind instruments.

About the Laser Engrave Artist

Joy Atkins has been a friend of Mountain Melodies for many years. Joy grew up in the North Georgia Mountains of Blairsville and still resides there today. A wife, and a mother of two handsome boys, she will often take time for herself and sketch on her patio. She started drawing for fun when she was a young girl and has kept it up since. Taking the time for her art quickly became a habit and opened other doors for creativity, such as painting and teaching.

“Little Music”

Originating in Africa, the thumbdrum has made its way throughout the world. Known also as a sansa, kalimba, and thumb piano, it is being used in ritualistic music and in recording studios world wide. Closely related to the mbira, another traditional African instrument, it is played by plucking the tines, or keys, with thumbs or fingers.

The name kalimba is a Bantu word which means “little music”, and is similar to the word karimba, a type of mbira. In addition to being a serious musical instrument, the Thumbdrum, or kalimba, is perfect for play and experimentation. Sturdy enough for children, it is a welcome addition to the standard percussion instruments normally available.
