Policies for International Customers (Outside the US and Canada):

International Customs, Duties, Brokerage and Taxes

International customers are responsible for any and all customs, import duties, brokerage fees, and taxes. They are not included in the item price or stated shipping charges.

Please check with your country’s customs office and shipping company (UPS/FedEx/USPS) to determine what these additional costs will be prior to purchasing from Sonic Electronix.

Customs, import duties, brokerage fees and taxes are typically collected by the delivery/shipping company or when you pick the item up at your local shipping center. Please do not confuse them with additional shipping charges.

Please do not request we label your item as a gift or sample or at a lower value as we cannot accomodate such requests.

We do not apply store credit to your new purchase.  If we see a new purchase for equal or greater value of your return, we will waive the 10 percent processing fee.

International Warranty Information

For international customers, shipping costs to our company/manufacturer are the responsibility of the customer. Additionally, warranty re-shipment (when we ship the repaired/replaced item back) is also the responsibility of the customer. Often times, it is less expensive for you to seek local service for the defective item rather than paying for shipping to and from our company. Sonic Electronix will not cover local service fees, but they are less expensive than shipping cost you would pay.

Nearly all of our merchandise includes a warranty, with service provided by the manufacturer or directly through Sonic Electronix. The length of the warranty will be stated within the item description and/or specifications. If you would like a written copy of the warranty terms and conditions for a specific item, please e-mail us the item and we will send the warranty information.

We are an authorized dealer for most of the items we sell. Items with a manufacturer’s warranty can be sent to the manufacturer for warranty service. If an item is labeled with a Sonic Electronix warranty it simply means the item must be returned to our facility to begin warranty service. We then send your item to the manufacturer for or authorized manufacturer service center in our territory for warranty service.
