Making A Purchase

We will automatically Email you to confirm that your order has been received, it does not indicate that a contract exists between us. We will indicate acceptance of your order, and hence a contract between us, when we send you a notification of dispatch. We have included this term to protect us in the unlikely case that a mistake has been made in pricing or we are no longer able to supply a particular product for reasons generally outside of our control. In the case of a change of price, we will always contact you first to ensure that the price is acceptable.

Shipping And Handling

Please see shipping options for full delivery options & pricing. We send a notification of shipping via Email, any claim for non-arrival of goods must be advised within 30 days for letter post / airmail and within 4 days for carrier. The 4 days for the carrier option is imposed on us by the carrier to allow them time to investigate before the 'trail goes cold'.

Deliveries that require a signature cannot be left without a signature. We are unable to give Royal Mail specific instructions such as "can you get the postman to phone me in case I do not hear the door bell".

1st Class - 1st class letter post cannot be tracked unless you select the 'signed for' option and as per Royal Mail guidelines is not considered missing until 15 working days after the expected delivery date have passed. In order to pursue a claim against Royal Mail for missing parcels, we may request a signed 'Missing Parcel in Transit' declaration that the goods have not been received is returned to us before we process any refund / replacement.

Airmail - Airmail letter post cannot be tracked unless the 'Tracked' option is selected. All Airmail is not considered missing until 42 working days have passed following dispatch. Typical delivery time for Airmail is 3-28 days depending on the destination country. Our experience shows that The Netherlands, Italy and the USA have the longest postal times. In order to pursue a claim against Royal Mail for missing parcels, we may request a signed 'Missing Parcel in Transit' declaration that the goods have not been received is returned to us before we process any refund / replacement.

Carrier / FedEx - All carrier deliveries are tracked and recommended for items of value and are sent on a priority service but whilst delivery time is not guaranteed, these services are very reliable.

If a delivery cannot be made due to the customer not being in, this may result in the delivery being re-attempted, held at the carriers / Post Office local depot or left with a neighbour (primarily UK post only). A card should be left at the premises advising this has occurred. It is the customers responsibility to re-arrange / collect the delivery, failure to do so may result in the goods being returned to us. Any goods returned to us due to a failed delivery will incur an additional carriage cost to send out again which will be advised prior to sending. Additionally, goods returned using our carrier / FedEx option may incur a surcharge. This is a charge made by the carrier and is outside of our control. This does not apply where the carrier is Royal Mail. Returned goods not claimed within 14 days will be credited back to the customer less any carrier / re-stocking costs.

Delivery Schedule

We often dispatch straightforward orders placed online by 2pm UK time same day subject to stock availability. Many of our products are made up to order such as kits, panels etc so best to allow a 3-5 days for dispatch. Orders containing special order / out of Stock items may take longer to dispatch and may hold up your entire order although we may split your order at our discretion. Out of Stock / Special Order Items generally have some indication as to the expected lead time which is updated daily (excluding weekends). As we are an internet based company, we do not to take telephone orders, sorry.

Goods should be returned with their original packaging along with a copy of the invoice provided at the time of purchase. Any item damaged whilst being evaluated for their suitability will no longer be covered under the DSR's. Our returns policy excludes any product especially ordered in (defined as not being listed on the Soundtronics website) or the item being identified on the website as a 'Special Order Item').
