International Customers
Note: international customers that purchase a powered hardware product, please know that Hi-Fi Heaven sells products which are meant to be used in the USA with a 120VAC/60Hz circuit. Since you are not in the USA, it is your responsibility to ensure that the unit receives the proper voltage using a step up and/or step down voltage converter. Using this device with a voltage or frequency that is not 120VAC/60Hz may cause damage to the unit and greatly increases the risk of bodily harm or even fire. Hi-Fi Heaven is not responsible for damage to a unit that is not used with 120VAC/60Hz. Hi-Fi Heaven will also not be able to provide you with warranty service or a replacement product. Due to the high cost of shipping products internationally, Hi-Fi Heaven will not pay for the return shipping of the product back to Hi-Fi Heaven. All costs related to shipping a product for a return to and from Hi-Fi Heaven must be covered by the customer. Customers who refuse or abandon shipments will be charged all fees that Hi-Fi Heaven has incurred to retrieve the package.
Returns & Exchanges
If you would like to return an item, please contact us within 14 days of receipt and we will issue a return authorization (RA) number. All returns must be authorized by us in advance and any unauthorized returns will be refused or additional restocking fees will be added. Once issued an RA number you have 5 business days to ship back the item or we have the option to refuse the return or adjust the restocking fee accordingly. All returns must come back as factory fresh in 100% new condition in its original unmarked box or carton with all manuals, warranty cards, remote controls, factory internal packaging, etc. Adjustments or refusal will be made for any damages or missing items. We reserve the right to reject returns at our discretion. You will be responsible for all shipping charges incurred, out bound and/or inbound, even if shipping was not charged as a separate line item on your original invoice. Refunds are issued back to the original source of the purchase. This Return Policy does not apply to items listed in the “No Returns” list below. Therefore, please check your systems requirements and compatibility prior to purchase.
Phono cartridges and styli must be deemed defective by the product manufacturer, via microscope inspection and/or testing, before they can be exchanged. Broken/missing/bent needles and/or cantilevers are not a manufacturing defect, and are due to buyer mishandling from installation, unpacking turntable or other reason. In such cases, the item will not be returnable.
No Returns List: Please be aware before placing your order that the following items cannot be returned or exchanged for any reason other than defective products in need of repair or replacement. These are all items that require research on your part to make sure sizes, colors and applications are correct in advance of ordering. Ineligible products include:
- Discontinued Items
- B-stock, display models, and pre-owned equipment
- Software and Software Bundled Devices (this includes audio interfaces that come bundled with licensed software)

Restocking Fees: Assuming that the return criteria has been met and we accept the return, you will be responsible for all shipping charges incurred, out bound and/or inbound, even if shipping was not charged as a separate line item on your original invoice. A 15% restocking fee will apply to all un-opened items and a 20% restocking fee will apply to all opened items. However, if you would like to exchange the item with an item of equal or greater value at regular retail price, then a credit will be issued and the restocking fee waived. Exchanges cannot be combined with Trade-In quotes. Only 1 exchange towards equal or greater value item/s can be done without restocking fees. We can also issue a store credit for the full purchase price, minus shipping costs, towards a future purchase. The store credit will expire 1 year from the date the returned item was received back to us. Items purchased using a store credit can not be returned for another store credit and will then be subject to restocking fees. If you have any questions regarding our return policy, please CONTACT US
Order Acceptance
Please note that there may be certain orders that we are unable to accept and must cancel. We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to refuse or cancel any order for any reason. For your convenience, you will not be charged until your payment method is authorized, the order information is verified for accuracy and your order is shipped. Some situations that may result in your order being canceled include limitations on quantities available for purchase, inaccuracies or errors in product or pricing information, or problems identified by our credit and fraud avoidance department. We may also require additional verifications or information before accepting any order. We will contact you if all or any portion of your order is canceled or if additional information is required to accept your order.
