General:

  • If your order contains a pre-order item, all items will not ship until ALL items are in stock – which means none of your items will ship until the release date of the pre-order item. 
  • All orders are shipped from Portland, Oregon, United States. 
  • Direct downloads here on our website, coldbusted.org, are included with physical purchase. Wav & mp3 only. Please note we do not provide Bandcamp download codes. You can only get a download code from Bandcamp directly.

Where is my order?

  • Orders are shipped every Tuesday-Thursday. Please allow 1-5 business days to process new orders. Once it has shipped, you will receive an email notification that your item has shipped. 
  • We rely on multiple couriers to pick up our packages daily. Please understand they may fail to complete these pick up requests.
  • IMPORTANT: If your order contains any pre-orders, your order will not ship until the latest release date of the pre-orders you purchased. If you want your other items before that, you must place separate orders.

Can I track my order?

  • Yes! All orders are shipped with a tracking number. Estimated delivery dates are listed at checkout.

  • My order is late, what should I do?
     
    • If your package is late, please check with your local courier first. Many times they fail to leave a notice letting you know that your package is ready for pick up at your nearest post office. If not picked up, it will be returned.

Do you ship to all countries?

  • No, as of January 2020 we no longer ship to the following destinations: Afghanistan, Angola, Ascension Island, Belarus, Bolivia, Bulgaria, Caribbean Netherlands, Congo - Brazzaville, Congo - Kinshasa, India, Iraq, Isle of Man, Liberia, New Zealand, Nigeria, Pakistan, Paraguay, Philippines, Russia, Sierra Leone, Somalia, South Africa, South Sudan, Sudan, Taiwan, Tristan da Cunha, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates, Venezuela, Zimbabwe. 

I'm ordering from outside the US, will I pay customs or import taxes?

Possibly. Orders shipped outside of the United States may be subject to import taxes, customs duties and fees levied by the destination country. The recipient of an international shipment may be subject to such import taxes, customs duties and fees, which are levied once a shipment reaches the recipient's country. Additional charges for customs clearance must be fulfilled by the recipient. We have no control over these charges, nor can we predict what they may be.

We must clearly list the value of each item on the outside of the package. Any inquiries asking to change these values will be ignored.

No refunds are provided if your package is returned for refusing to pay these import duty taxes.

Any requests for packages to be marked as gifts and or lower in value are ignored.

We reserve the right to combine packages if placing multiple orders. Partial shipping refunds are not provided but we may issue store credit if requested within 30 days from the date of the order was placed.

Change Of Address.

We process orders fast so changes to your address cannot always be madeunless it contains a pre-order. If you ordered a pre-order on Bandcamp, change your address here. If you ordered a pre-order from coldbusted.org, log into your coldbusted.org account and update your address. 

Do you need to change your address but already received a tracking number? No changes can be made unfortunately.

Cancel My Order.

Contact us immediately but if you already received a confirmation email with tracking number it's too late. Please see our Return Policy for more information.

Pre-orders & why your order hasn't shipped yet.

If your order contains a pre-order item, all items will not ship until ALL items are in stock – which means none of your items will ship until the release date of the pre-order item.

When ordering direct at coldbusted.org we try to make this as clear as possible by:

1. Add to cart and Buy it now buttons are replaced with a single PRE-ORDER button

2. Product details on the release page state "Pre-order Ships" and the date when we expect the pre-order will ship

3. As of 2025.09.25 we now send an additional Pre-order confirmation email

Bandcamp also includes 'Pre-order' in the checkout link. 

Please check the release page to see the estimated Pre-order Ships dates. Note, these dates will most likely change and is best to check for updates.

Address Must Be In English.

Please make sure your Name & Address is listed in English Only as required by our shipping couriers. If not it may be cancelled.

Download Codes.

Download codes are available for customers that have purchased Cold Busted releases direct from Bandcamp. We do not offer download codes when purchased anywhere else: Record Stores, Events, Direct from Artists, Inside the actual release (unless mentioned on the outside of the packaging), etc).

As of June 1st, 2024 we now offer direct downloads on our website, coldbusted.org, with physical purchase. Wav (24bit or 16bit depending on master provided by artist) & 320kbps mp3 only. A separate email, with direct link, will send shortly after your purchase or when pre-order is released. The majority of our wav files are 24bit 44khz audio files mastered by Misjah at 24Mastering. Please note we do not provide Bandcamp download codes when purchased directly from our website.

If you are having troubles downloading your Bandcamp purchases you will need to contact Bandcamp customer support directly here.

Variations of Vinyl Weight - 180g.

Starting in 2023 all new vinyl releases are pressed on 180g (gram) vinyl unless noted differently. It is not unusual for our 180g records to weigh between 170g - 200g. 180g is the standard term used for marketing and the targeted weight but keep it mind it can vary during manufacturing. 

Discount Codes.

Coldbusted.org allows only one code to be used per order. This includes both automatic and manually entered discount codes. If an order automatically applies a discount code you cannot remove it and manually enter a different code.

No stacking, codes cannot be combined, and automatic codes cannot be used with additional codes. Free shipping codes cannot be used with additional codes. 

You will not have the option to use a discount code when paying with Google Pay and Apple Pay as these checkout methods bypass the standard Shopify checkout process.

Returned Packages.

If a package is returned to us due to incorrect address, non-pickup, refused, etc., you have the following options:

1. Pay an additional postage fee then we will re-send the package to you.
2. Place a new similar physical order (total must be equal or greater to original order) and we will include the original order in the package for free.
3. Request a refund for the actual physical purchase, minus shipping fee.

Contact us to discuss which option you'd like.

Test Pressings.

Test pressings are a very small run of vinyl (usually 5-10 pieces) pressed with white or our custom Cold Busted labels and are sent to us for approval. They can help to check that there are no flaws in the cutting or metalwork before pressing the full quantity of records. We keep 1 copy of every release and normally send 1 copy to the artist. All other copies are sold.

Autographs.

All orders are processed and sold directly here on Cold Busted - the record label that releases all of the music by the artists. It would require us to send the releases back and forth, all over the world, to get their autographs creating extreme additional shipping charges.

Compact Disc Information.

Starting in August of 2017, releases are Glass Mastered, produced in Red Book format, and manufactured on Compact Disc. Here is a complete list of Compact Discs in Red Book format.

License, Lease, Or Use Our Beats With Your Lyrics.

We do not respond to any requests concerning re-edits, mash-ups or adding your vocals over our beats. Simply stating ‘produced by’ is not legit or allowed. Take downs will be filed and processed when found.

No reply does not grant you a license.

Our beats are not for sale. Requests to lease, sell, or license beats are ignored.

To be clear we are not interested in these types of requests.

Straight up - It's not going to happen.
