  Bill sums up my feelings on Robert King Music Sales.  What's up with
  them?  Can't talk with a human and can't return music?  Forget it.
   
  Sheet Music Service in Portland, OR does have knowledgeable staff and
  are good to work with, but I think things have gotten stricter under the
  new owners.  I saw a sign in their store that said "No Returns."  This was
  not previously the case, as I recall.  I would inquire about their return policy
  when buying anything mail order.  They still have a very respectable stock
  of music, more so than most retailers.
   
  J.W. Pepper has a local store in my area, mostly for the school band and
  choir directors to come and listen to promotional discs and check out the
  latest offerings from the publishers.  They will order for me though, and
  provide decent service.

  Sheet Music Service (Portland, OR) has always done well by me. They are
under a new umbrella ownership (Pender's Music) but even in recent orders
they have served me quite well. Only real change is that they do not send
orders with later billing. Orders now must be with credit cards. They do
have internet services and standard ordering with payment (checks, money
orders etc.)

Hickey's is also a good source.

I have also had good service from New England Sheet Music.

Robert King is always an option but since one cannot actually speak with
anyone in person there, I use them only as a last resort.
