etc.; prices may vary, so be sure to confirm prices when ordering. All prices
and specifications are subject to change without notice. AES is not responsible for typographical errors or omissions.

RETURNS
In order to maintain the lowest possible prices, we do not offer a free trial
or evaluation period on new equipment. If permitted, an authorized return
of merchandise for credit (it must be like new with all original packaging)
will be subject to a Minimum 15% Restocking Fee. The item must be
returned within 10 days after receipt, prepaid, with a copy of the purchase
invoice and a letter describing the reason for the return. No returns on
antennas, towers, cable, items drop-shipped from the manufacturer, audio
or video tapes, kits, books, or computer software. Canadians please see
Canadians Note: under TRADE-INS.
PACKING FOR SERVICE AND/OR RETURN
When returning heavy, delicate, and expensive equipment, it must be carefully packed in order to avoid damage caused by normal transportation
dynamics. When contents of packages are damaged, claims will be paid
only if the carton and packing meet standards set in the International Safe
Transit Association Procedure 1 and 1-A. These standards simply state that
cartons and packing should provide reasonable protection to their contents. Ideally, contents should be suspended in the center of the carton by
the packing material, no less than three inches on all sides for heavy items.
For items heavier than 20 lbs., 3 in. of foam or crumpled paper should be
used instead of polystyrene edge protectors. Send you package insured.
When you send your well-packed parcel to AES, be sure to include a letter
inside the package stating your call, name, address, e-mail address, phone
and reason for return. Do not rely on information written or taped on the
outside of the carton.
SHIPPING
Shipping charges, which include adequate insurance, are based on the
Order Total at the time of the initial shipment (COD fees not included). The
order amount on which charges are determined is pre-coupon and pre-tax
(see chart on this page for rates). Cancellations on partially shipped orders
will not affect the shipping charges. All back-orders from partially shipped
orders are shipped PREPAID at the expense of AES via Ground Service, only.
Shipping calculations on Ground method to the contiguous 48 states have
been simplified by utilizing flat-rate categories (see chart on this page for
rates). Other expedited methods and any USPS methods are charged at regular rates without any credit for ground rates. CODs are not accepted for
these faster methods.
Shipments to APO/FPO are via Priority Mail. Orders exceeding ground
method weight, size or value limits will be shipped via Truck or Air Freight
collect. Shipping charges taxable in WI, OH, FL NV.
To insure orders arrive quickly, AES stocks items at all four locations.
Occasionally, an item will be temporarily unavailable at certain branches,
due to various reasons. In this case, AES will ship the order from a location
that has the needed item.
TRADE-INS
Amateur Electronic Supply accepts trade-ins on new equipment purchases,
the worth of which is determined by the electrical and physical condition
of the item. Estimates are given assuming the trade-in is in good electrical
and physical condition. If it is not, a deduction will be made.
To facilitate a trade-in, the customer can choose one of the following: (A)
Purchase the new item(s), send in the trade for evaluation, and have the
trade-in amount refunded or credited. (B) Send in the trade and have the
order held until the trade-in amount is determined.
When shipping trade-ins for evaluation, use a sturdy carton (double boxing
is recommended) and plenty of packing material. Ship PREPAID FULLY
INSURED. Do not use Bus or Parcel Post. Collect shipments not accepted.
AES assumes no responsibility for damage in transit or for filing of damage
claims. Canadians, inquire locally about taxes and/or customs charges
before releasing your shipment.
Canadians Note: Returned equipment not originally manufactured in the
U.S. will be subject to valuation and custom charges, plus brokers fees.
Check customs before shipping anything to us, including new equipment
for warranty repair. We will not accept any shipments from outside of the
U.S. unless all fees are paid in advance.
