Return Policy:

 Canadian and USA Domestic sales: All new and most used items carry a full 7 day ROR (Right Of Return) for any reason and a 14 day guarantee, less shipping charges. All seals must be intact for a return and an RMA (Return Material Authorization) number is required. Emailto:stu@aptecelectronics.com or call 310-640-7262 for an RMA number. Restocking fees may apply to certain returned items.
Some used items and those that are sold for parts are usually offered drastically discounted - are sold AS-IS - and are not returnable for any reason. Shipping charges (and CA sales tax if applicable) will be added to the sale price.
Non Domestic sales: All sales outside of the USA and Canada are final. No returns are permitted for any foreign sales unless otherwise approved by Aptec in advance.

 

Shipping policy: 

Orders are processed as soon as possible and the vast majority of stock items are sent within 24 - 48 hours of the order. We stock 99% of our web site advertised products locally. Most domestic (USA)  small orders are sent via USPS Priority Mail. Larger items are sent via common carriers such as Fed Ex.
Domestic shipping fees are based on actual cost plus a small packaging cost to cover labor and materials. Most small domestic items are shipped USPS Priority Mail at a flat rate of $13 plus $2 for each additional item in the same package. All shipping fees are added to the cost of the item, and payment for shipping is due before shipment is completed. A buyer may request almost any choice of shipper, and under some circumstances with prior approval we will ship on the customers shipper account number. 
Many non-domestic (outside USA) shipments are made via Bax Global to your nearest international airport for best international rates.  Please notify us if you are not prepared to travel to your airport to pick up your package.

 

Payment policy: 

Aptec Electronics accepts only US currency. Six types of payment methods are available: Credit Cards Online, Credit Cards via Phone, Prepay with Checks, Purchase Orders (pre-approved), Wire Transfer, and PayPal. We do not accept COD payment of any kind. Purchase Orders (PO) are allowed only from US government agencies and Fortune 1000 companies that are authorized and verified. Aptec Electronics does not issue net-terms.

CREDIT CARD Online: We accept Visa, MasterCard, and American Express. 


Credit card payment is now authorized online in real time. You will be informed immediately if your credit card is declined. If declined, you may check the accuracy of the credit card number and expiration date, or choose a different card to try. Your order will NOT be sent unless the credit card number you entered is authorized. Once accepted, the authorization process allocates the total amount of the order + 10% extra for this transaction, which does NOT mean that your credit card has been charged yet. The 10% extra is reserved just in case you need to add items or make other adjustments to your order. We'll examine each order and make adjustments if necessary before charging your credit card. The actual amount charged can be smaller than the total amount. Currently, less than 2% of all orders are adjusted before charging.

You must provide us with a working phone number in order for us to contact you to confirm your order and in case of problems with your order.

Aptec Electronics is very aggressive in getting law enforcement involved in cases of obvious credit card fraud. Do not try it here or ANYWHERE for that matter!

CREDIT CARD via Phone: If you do not feel comfortable transmitting your credit card number and other information on the Internet, we suggest you place an order over the phone. We'll charge your credit card manually.

PRE-PAY with a Check: Pre-payment with cashier's check or money order is accepted. You can call and place the order, get an order number and order confirmation for the total amount of your order. Then get a cashier's check or money order from your bank for the exact amount and mail the check to us. We'll ship your products within 1-2 business days after the check or money order is received. Your order will be cancelled if we do not receive your payment in 10 business days. Company Checks are conditionally accepted. Customers must contact our accounting / credit department to to check if they are qualified for this payment method. Although company checks are conditionally accepted, items will not be shipped until checks are cleared by the bank. We do not accept personal checks.

PURCHASE ORDER (PO): For Fortune 1000 corporate accounts and government agencies where Purchase Orders are required, you must complete the following processes: (1) Mail (no fax is accepted for this purpose) Aptec Electronics a letter on your letterhead to formally request us to accept your purchase orders;  (2) Once verified and authorized, mail or fax a formal purchase order to us.

WIRE TRANSFER: We accept wire-transfer from anywhere. After you place your order, details about the wire-transfer process will be e-mailed or faxed to you.  A $25 bank fee will be added to your total in most instances. You must place the order first before calling for the transfer information. The total transferred must include shipping cost. Delay in shipping your order may occur if the wire-transfer amount received is different from the order total amount. Wire-transfer may take 1-2 business days to confirm. It must be confirmed by our bank before shipping can take place. 

PAYPAL: We now accept Paypal payment. If you pay your Paypal account with a credit card, we would suggest to use credit card directly. Paypal orders normally got delayed for one day due to an extra confirmation and verification process.

Choose "Paypal" as payment method at checkout. Products will be shipped promptly only after the fund transfer has been confirmed by PayPal.com and the shipping address is for Paypal confirmed address. If your shipping address is different from what's registered with PayPal, your order will be delayed for order verification.

For orders over $200 we require that the Paypal address be confirmed with Paypal. If an order is placed for over $200 on an unconfirmed Paypal account we will reject the order or require a different form of payment. This is to protect you and the general public against fraud.

If you don't yet have a PayPal account, you may visit www.paypal.com to open an account. The process of obtaining one and getting the money transferred may take 2-6 business days, which may significantly delay your order.

The products shipped remain the property of Aptec Electronics until paid in full. Any legal expense toward collecting bad debts are buyer's responsibility.
