ORDER CONFIRMATION AND SHIPPING
When you place an on-line order with us, you will be able to select your shipping method and payment options. We accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover/Novus and American Express.

When your order has been submitted, you will automatically receive an Order Confirmation email containing an order recap.  When your package ships, you will receive a Shipping Confirmation. This will provide you the shipping method, tracking number and order total. Once you have received it, you can track your package on-line and/or you can use our enhanced order tracking feature on our webstore.

SHIPMENT DELAYS
Shipments are almost always received within the allotted timeframe given on our webstore. We encourage you to choose shipping methods that have tracking capabilities built-in.  UPS ground/air for domestic/international shipments and USPS Global Express Mail for international shipments feature detailed order tracking.

If you choose any USPS domestic mail shipping method and your order is less than $200, your order will not be insured unless specifically requested by you.  If not insured and your order is lost or delayed, we will not be held responsible or be obligated an any way to replace the items for you. 

If you'd like delivery confirmation or insurance added to your USPS domestic shipment, please email us here to request this service (at an additional cost to you).

INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING
When international customers place an order on our webstore, the store will now be able to calculate a shipping charge for you. You will receive your shipping options that are available to your location. It's now easier than ever before, just pick the method you want and you'll know right then and there how much it is. If you wish to receive this shipping cost email before we ship your order, please email us here: shipping@elusivedisc.com or put the items in your shopping basket and then click the link that says "click here to estimate shipping costs."

BACKORDERS/PREORDERS
Occasionally, we will run out of stock on certain items. If this happens, it will be noted on the item's availability status field located below the item's picture. Most out of stock items are restocked within 7-10 days or they are preorder items. We encourage you to order now which ensures the quickest delivery and lessens the chance of missing out on items that have limited availability. If you choose to place an order with both in-stock and out of stock items (such as preorders),
WE WILL SHIP ALL IN STOCK ITEMS IMMEDIATELY.  

Out-of-stock items will be kept on file and when they arrive, we will contact you before shipping them. At that time, you may add or delete items from your backorder as desired -or- if you place a new order we will automatically combine any backordered items that are now in stock with your new order to save you money on shipping costs.  All backorders/preorders will be shipped to you at an additional shipping cost.

We do have the option of holding the entire order until everything is ready to ship.  We will do this, but we require payment for all in-stock items we are holding.  Please email shipping@elusivedisc.com to request this service for your order.

USED RECORDS
Record prices may scare you. Obscure titles tip the scale at over $300. To combat the malevolent state of affairs you need either a six figure income or a very understanding wife! Those with neither should consider the used record. It is sold at 40% to 50% discount and comes with a 100% guarantee. Additionally, we have gone to the utmost trouble in time and expense to make buying used records acceptable to anyone!

We do it by play grading: We hire an audiophile/musician to play-grade each disc. Those retailing for $30 & above are auditioned song by song, front to back. Other albums receive a stringent 5 to 7 minute examination. The result: 40%-60% of all used records tested (including those from other dealers) are discarded. Only LPs good enough for our own collection become inventory . . . & we are quite fussy. All Used LPs are 100% guaranteed!

RETURNS
You must call or e-mail for an RA# before any return! Returns sent to us without an RA# will not be accepted. Defective music can only be exchanged for the same title. Consumables (cleaning fluids, etc.) and phono cartridges are non-returnable unless defective, but for exchange only.

1. Items damaged in shipment: If an item is damaged in shipment, you must save all packaging and notify us immediately! We will process a claim with the shipper and ship a replacement order to you. We will inform you what steps must be taken with your damaged package when you contact us.

2. Defective items: If you receive a defective item, we will replace the defective item with a direct replacement only (no substitutions) at no shipping cost to you (if you are in the contiguous 48 US states). Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Guam, FPO, APO and International customers receive the equivalent saving on return shipping as domestic US customers (Amount to be determined by weight of shipment) or we will ship the replacement with your next order. Shipping costs for returning a defective item is the responsibility of the customer for either domestic or International customers. Please note: we will accept returns within 30 days of the ship date.

3. Canceled Items: Canceled items include: accessories and equipment returned on our 30-day return policy and unopened music. Consumables (cleaning fluids, etc.) and phono cartridges are non-returnable unless defective, but for exchange only. Return shipping is the responsibility of the customer. If the customer was given free shipping on the initial shipment, the customer is responsible for the shipping cost both to and from the customer's address.

REFUSED SHIPMENTS
If you refuse delivery on any shipment for any reason, you will be financially responsible for the return shipping charges incurred to us by the carrier. You also will be financially responsible for any duties and taxes we will have to pay. These charges will either be deducted from any credit or charged to your credit card.

WRAP UP
We think that covers it. If you have any questions or our pricing seems out of line you can send an e-mail to the staff. For website technical questions or problems only, you can e-mail the webmaster. Audiophile records, CDs, accessories and equipment are expensive and you deserve the best deal possible. If we can't help, we will try to refer you to someone who can. Thanks for being the most honest and friendly clientele we have ever encountered in business. It is truly a pleasure to service your audiophile needs.
