Returns
The following terms and conditions apply to all sales unless there is a written contractual agreement stating otherwise.
All Returns Are Subject to Manufacturers’ Policies
Return privileges are subject to various manufacturers’ policies. Many manufacturers have imposed certain return restrictions. Consequently, Sonic Components reserves the right to decline specific return requests based on those restrictions. Be sure to ask your Account Manager about specific return conditions before you purchase any item.

Incomplete returns, open or used products, or products not in new condition will be assessed additional restocking fees depending on condition and Sonic Components ability to remarket the returned product. Sonic Components will refuse any return of items missing UPC codes.
Nonrefundable Charges

Return Privileges for Non-Defective Items
All non-defective returns authorized by Sonic Components, whether opened or unopened, will be assessed a minimum 15% restocking fee, and must be authorized for return within 30 days from date of receipt. No refunds will be issued after such 30 day period. Authorization may be obtained by calling Customer Care  by e-mail at Info@soniccomponents.com. Customer will be issued a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) which is valid for 10 days. Failure to return a product within such 10 day authorization period will be deemed to be an acceptance of the product.

Defective/Dead on Arrival (DOA) Merchandise
DOA products must be reported to Customer Care at Info@soniccomponents.comwithin the first 30 days of receipt and, if deemed by us to be defective, may be repaired or replaced at our sole discretion. Some manufacturers and publishers require DOAs to be handled directly with the manufacturer, and in these cases, we will provide the contact information. DOA returns that prove through testing not to be defective are subject to a minimum 15% restocking fee. After 30 days, the manufacturer’s warranty process must be followed.
Damaged Products
All packages shipped from Sonic Components are inspected prior to shipment. However, from time to time, damage during shipping may occur. Packages that are obviously damaged should be refused upon original delivery attempt. If the package is accepted, then any damage should be noted on the carrier delivery record prior to the driver leaving your premises. Any hidden or internal damage to any product must be reported to Customer Care at Info@soniccomponents.com within the first 7 days of receipt to arrange for a carrier inspection and return of the damaged product(s). Please save the product, the shipping carton and all manufacturer packaging. Timely receipt of this information is necessary for Sonic Components to file a damage claim. Failure to notify Sonic Components of damage within this time period will be deemed an acceptance of the product, and standard return policies will apply.
Refused Orders
All refused orders (for reasons other than shipping damage) will be subject to a minimum 25% restocking fee. Shipping charges are not refundable if shipment is refused at the time of delivery. In addition, refused orders will be subject to additional shipping charges to cover the cost of returning the products to Sonic Components.
