Shipping Address and required documentation for International Orders

  • Please double check your SHIPPING ADDRESS. In case you are a custumer placing orders outside the EU please provide a VALID personal ID (driver license or similar ID in your country). You can specify it at the checkout page “Order notes”. All international orders outside the EU, where the EU VAT legislation do not apply require that valid personal ID. It is a mandatory field for the “customs invoice” and we will NOT deliver such orders without that valid personal ID. Moreover, we cannot be held responsible for lost packages due to incorrect address information.
  • International orders may be subject to customs clearance and regulations. You are responsible for any applicable customs fees and adherence to your country’s import regulations. If a package is returned to us due to non-payment of customs fees, we will apply a refund minus the shipping and transaction costs and minus a 15% of restocking fee.

Incompatibilities

  • The use of improper audio or video cables (i.e. low-quality shielding, wrong impedance, etc.) may affect the audio and video quality. Moreover, some old CRT TVs can sometimes introduce noise in the system and cannot be held responsible for such factors out of our control.

Pre-Orders and Back-Orders – Terms & Conditions

  • Estimated Date of Arrival: Shipment is based on the shipping schedule of our selected courier. While we can track and trace the packages we cannot assure you the exact date and time of its arrival to your place, due to several factors such as delays due to unforeseen events beyond our control (technical problems of the shipping company, natural disasters, customs clearing, etc.).

After this initial 14-day period, orders may not be canceled until the estimated shipping date has passed.
