Sorry, but tracking isn’t available. All products are shipped second class post to keep postage costs low.
We ship all products second class post or economy airmail to keep your shipping costs as low as we can.
If you’re ordering in time for Christmas, we can’t guarantee delivery in time for Christmas Day but would recommend ordering a week before Christmas Eve for UK orders.
We are unable to ship physical orders between Christmas and New Year. Any orders for physical products placed on or after the last working day may be shipped early in the new year. Please refer to site notices for up-to-date information.
Yes – select ‘Local Pickup’ as your shipping option at checkout and you won’t be charged for delivery. Your order will be available for collection from the King’s College Visitor Centre on King’s Parade.
As the download packages can be quite large, you may need a third-party programme to decompress the download file. We recommend 7-Zip for Windows or Unarchiver for Mac.
FLAC/ALAC (high-resolution)
All high-resolution files are 24 bit stereo and will be labelled as 44.1kHz, 96kHz, or 192kHz.
FLAC files have the greatest compatibility, though ALAC files are recommended for used with Apple products. Both file formats can be converted using free software if necessary.
MP3
Our mp3 files are encoded at VBR (320kbps equivalent) for near-CD quality in a small file size.
Some of our recordings are released on SACD (“Super Audio CD”). These are compatible with all CD players but when used with an SACD player, allow high-resolution & surround-sound audio to be played.
When you purchase an album download, you’ll receive all the individual tracks in the format you requested, the digital booklet, and the album cover as an image file. All our music is available to download at a higher resolution than CD quality, or alternatively at a smaller file size for slower internet connections.
By buying our recordings from us, you’re directly supporting the work of King’s College Choir – including its tours, concerts and future recording projects. Thank you!
We do our best to make our prices competitive, and highly recommend checking out our current deals.

We’re sorry that there’s a problem. The best thing to do is to get in touch with us at [email protected]. We’ll be glad to help you.
If you’re unhappy with your purchase, or you change your mind, you can return it to us in its original unopened condition and we will issue a full refund of the price that you paid for the item(s).

Unfortunately we’re unable to offer change-of-mind refunds for downloads, but if you have a problem with your download, please contact us and we’ll be able to help. It is, though, your responsibility to ensure that your internet connection is suitable for the download size, which we list with each product.
We deliver worldwide and you’ll be able to select delivery address during the checkout process.
All our downloadable albums are available in high-resolution and compressed formats. This allows you to make a choice based on the quality you prefer and the speed of your internet connection.
FLAC/ALAC (high resolution)
These high resolution formats – also known as studio master downloads – are the highest resolution formats we have. In all cases they are higher resolution than CD-quality audio. While FLAC files have the widest compatibility, ALAC downloads are recommended for users of Apple iTunes.
This option is best if you value listening to the highest quality sound, and to hear the recordings as the producer intended.
MP3 (compressed)
This type of file has been compressed by reducing the detail of certain parts of sound that are deemed beyond the hearing ability of most people. It reproduces near-CD quality with a much smaller file size.
If the download speed of your internet connection is a concern then this file may be best for you.
This file type is compatible with almost all music-playing devices.
It is possible to download albums directly to a mobile device, but you’ll need a special app to extract the tracks from the download package. It’s recommended to download the files to a computer before synchronising them to a mobile device.
Blu-ray audio disc can be played in any surround-sound system with a blu-ray player. Our products that are released on Blu-ray use Dolby Atmos surround-sound technology. A SACD is also included which allows the recording to be played in a standard CD player or SACD surround-sound system.
To see our recordings available in surround-sound, select ‘surround-sound’ from the search filter on our Shop tab. Our surround-sound recordings are released on SACD or Blu-ray formats and all can also be played through a standard CD player in stereo.
