Frequently Asked Questions about Intl. Shipping     

This document is also available in German

audioMIDI.com is the web's leader in servicing International customers. To quickly answer your questions we have provided this page of answers to the most frequently asked questions about International shipping.

Q: Do you ship to......... ?

A: audioMIDI.com will ship to any place on the globe for which delivery service through an established carrier is available. With a few exceptions this covers most of the world. In addition we ship Internationally every day and more than likely are shipping to your country.

In some rare cases we may not be able to ship certain products overseas because the manufacturer requires us not to compete with their local distributor. In these cases you will be notified quickly.

Q: How much will shipping cost me?

A: On every product page is a "Shipping Options" button that will calculate shipping via UPS. If this calculator does not list shipping options for your country please try entering a Postal code if applicable. If it still does not list a rate, that means that UPS does not provide service to your country. Please contact us here and we will determine what the best way to get your order to you is.

Q: Can you ship it some way besides UPS?

A: Absolutely. Please contact us at here and we can discuss the shipping options
with you.

Q: Parcel post is so much cheaper, can you send it that way?

A: Unfortunately we cannot offer shipments via Parcel post as these packages are not trackable.

Q : Is that the total cost of my order / Do you charge tax?

A: The costs of the item and the shipping are the total that audioMIDI.com will charge you. However, more than likely your country will charge you custom fees. What these charges are differ from country to country and often are difficult to calculate. The best way to determine what these charges are is to contact your local customs office. This number is usually listed in your phone book under goverment agencies.

Q: Can you declare the value lower than the actual value so I can avoid paying duties?

A: Unfortunately declaring less than the true value is both a violation of American law and the laws of most other countries. In addition, we could lose the right to export to your country should it ever be discovered that we were misrepresenting the value. Also, we cannot insure the package for more than its declared value, which in cases of a mishandled package could end up costing you a lot more than you would save.

Q: If something doesn't work, can I return it?

A: Yes, however some conditions specific to International sales apply. Shipping is not credited, even in cases of defective items. Also, non-defective items will be subject to a 15 percent restocking fee.

Q: Can I get support from my local distributor?

A: In most cases you will need to get support from the distributor in the U.S. since you effectively bought the product in the U.S. If you should need to receive warranty support, that would mean you would need to send the item back to the U.S. There are a few cases where support is not available either locally or in the U.S. If you are concerned about this, please contact the company that makes the product you wish to purchase and find out what their policies are.

Q: The power standard in my country is different than in the US, will I be able to run this device in my country.

A: This varies widely from device to device. Many devices, especially those with internal power supplies are switchable to other standards. Other devices may require a special adapter which may or may not be available from the manufacturer. Please contact the manufacturer or us to ensure that the correct power supply for your country is available.
