AudioLinks.com provides shipping for merchandise purchased through this website to addresses within the 48 contiguous United States. Orders from other venues will be arranged on an as-needed basis. Please contact sales@audiolinks.com to arrange for such a shipment. All approved shipments outside of the 48 contiguous United States are subject to the customs fees and import duties of the country to which your order is shipped. These and any other additional charges shall be paid by the recipient. As customs policies vary for each country, contact your local customs office for information on any additional tariffs or fees. Note that customs clearance procedures, when required, may cause delivery delays.

Ground delivery may not be available to all addresses, and some manufacturers will not ship to a residential address. In the event that ground delivery is not available, a representative of AudioLinks.com will contact you to arrange an alternate shipping method.

All orders are processed upon receipt. Actual shipping time is contingent upon availability of merchandise and credit verification. Most orders are shipped within 2 business days of receiving your order. No orders are processed or shipped on Saturdays or Sundays. In the event of delays, every effort will be made to contact you by phone, e-mail or mail. If the delay is due to a backorder, you will receive notice and be given the choice to remain on backorder, substitute another item, or cancel your order.

Low Price Guaranty

If you find a cheaper advertised price from an authorized U.S. dealer for a product that AudioLinks carries, we will match or beat that price.

To take advantage of our low price guarantee online, email an AudioLinks representative with the competing dealer’s product page web address (URL). We will then verify the online price as well as the product description, availability, brand, relative price, and specifications.

Manufacturer price restrictions exclude some products from this guarantee. Please contact an AudioLinks representative for details.

Our low price guarantee applies solely to advertised items that are in stock at the advertised dealer and that are factory-sealed new products. In extreme cases where items are at cost or below cost, we reserve the right to have a quote faxed or mailed to us from the competitor.

Our guarantee does not include refurbished items, factory seconds, sale items, demonstration models, discontinued products, or floor samples. Competing prices must be verified from a website, catalog, or print advertisement of an authorized U.S. dealer for the item at issue.

Our guarantee does not extend to non-advertised specials or email offers. AudioLinks may require an email or faxed copy of the advertised offer. AudioLinks will match offers on packages or combined products at our sole discretion.
