This Weekend Only--Free Shipping

This weekend only!

Free USA shipping for Khalaf Oud soft cases. Simply place your order through the website (http://www.khalafoud.com/cases.htm) and you'll only pay for the case. Simple as that.

For Canadian and international customers I'm knocking $15 off your shipping costs. Cart buttons will reflect that.

Make sure you state what color you like. I have all colors in stock, but the longer you wait the fewer your choices you have.

How much is shipping in general?

Jameel - 5-27-2011 at 01:34 PM

$15 for anywhere in the USA

Take advantage of this deal!!! If you don't have one of Jameel's cases, you should. Durable materials, well-sized, and highly convenient to carry to and from gigs and rehearsals. It's not an exaggeration to say that Jameel's case has changed the way I travel with my instruments and it has proven highly protective after several accidental falls and collisions. Buy with confidence!

Thanks Amos!!

Jameel's cases are the best! Amos is right, they're very protective.

I saw similar lute cases for sale for over $300, so his price is very reasonable.
I'm tempted to get a second one . . .

I have one of Jameel's gig bag oud cases as well, and they are worth every cent. Excellent design and well padded.:cool:

I just ordered one for the oud I'm making. Can't wait to get it in.

Thanks for the response everyone. Appreciate it!

Received the case today. The best soft cases out there next to the one I got with my Fadi Matta oud. Good design, lightweight, easy to carry, and protects the oud in a sufficient way. Thanks Jameel.

Thanks! Glad you like it.

Oh, one more thing I like to point out about these cases. They are made by a small midwestern firm in the U.S. of A. with high-quality American materials. Expensive is a relative term. Buy a cheap one with cheap zippers, thin fabrics and shoddy construction and get back to me in a few years when you're on your third or fourth one, and have spent more than mine cost. I have customers that have flown all around the world with theirs and no complaints yet. In fact, they are so nice that I shipped one today to someone who had theirs stolen. I wonder how many other soft cases get stolen? :))

Hehe, good point Jameel. A friend of my just bought an oud that came with a Chinese made soft case, and the lining on the inside is falling apart in multple places, the zipper is shot, meanwhile he had the case a total of a few weeks!

Jameel is absolutelty right- expensive is a relative term, and you do get what you pay for (look at cheap ouds for example) buy a cheapo case and you'll need to replace it and end up spending more. I have had one of Jameel's gig bag oud cases for several years now, have carried my oud in it dozens of times here or there, on my bike (you strap it on like a rucksack, very convenient), in planes, in cars, buses, trains and so on and it's as good today as when I first got it, and has kept my oud safe from various bumps and knocks prone to travel. :)
