PRICING, AVAILABILITY
and ORDER ACCEPTANCE POLICY
Since all our suppliers reserve their right to do so, our pricing and
availability are subject to change without notice. Great effort has been
made to ensure the accuracy of the information listed in our website. However, Sale Stores does not assume any responsibility for any errors contained therein nor from orders arising from those errors and
reserves the right to cancel any orders
received without having to assign a reason to do so.
Before placing an order,
you should be aware that your online order does not give you the right to
demand we ship the product(s) ordered.
Your online receipt or the receipt of the “acknowledgement of order” form automatically issued by
our system does not signify our acceptance of your order, nor does it
constitutes confirmation of our offer to sell. Sale Stores reserves the
right at any time after the receipt of your order to accept or decline it
for any reason without having to give further explanation.
Upon receipt of your order, we will contact our suppliers to confirm
stock and cost. We work hard to keep our web site updated, but if there has
been an increase or mistake in the cost of the product or in the shipping
cost, we will probably cancel your order and send you an email asking you if
you want the product at the new price.
We
ship accepted orders either from our own stock or directly from our
manufacturers, importers, or master distributors stocks. Our policy is to
accept only orders that we, or our suppliers, can fulfill entirely in one
shipment, and we do generally confirm
availability of the entire order prior to accepting it. However,
if for reasons beyond our control, from the time that we accept the order to
the time that it ships, the order can not shipped in its entirety, we reserve the right to ship partially fulfilled orders,
or in other words, to
supply less than the quantity you ordered of any item. In those instances we
will make an effort to advise you prior to shipment, however, we reserve the
right to ship without noticing you prior to shipping.
All
orders placed must obtain pre-approval with an acceptable method of payment,
as established by our credit and fraud avoidance department. We may require
further verifications or additional information before accepting any order.
PAYMENTS POLICY
Our Company accepts American Express, MasterCard, and Visa & Discover. For
your peace of mind, it is our policy in
almost all cases to charge your card once the order is processed and goods
are ready to be shipped or already shipped. However in some few
cases, depending on the product and the circumstances of the sale, we
reserve the right to bill it prior to shipment (i.e. an expiring credit
card). You will know that your card has been charged once you receive the
invoice for your order. The invoice should not be confused with the
automatic acknowledge of the order receipt or order acceptance forms send by
our system prior to the actual invoicing.
Cashiers checks, money orders, company check and personal checks are also
accepted as means of payment. These should be sent along with a printout of
your order to: Sale Stores, 99 NW 183 St, Suite 115, Miami, FL 33169. In
all cases, the product might not be shipped until the funds are totally
clear in Sale Stores' Bank Account. For Cashier’s check and money order
payments, orders are usually released immediately on receipt of the payment
document by Sale Stores.
For
company and personal checks, orders will be shipping only after funds are
released from your financial institution to Sale Stores. This could take up
to 10 business days after receipt of payment by Sale Stores. On orders being
paid for by means other than credit card, availability of the product might
change while your payment is in transit or funds are being cleared and Sale
Stores cannot reserve or guaranty continued availability.
When using your credit card be sure to provide your exact billing and
shipping addresses and phone numbers your credit card has on file on you.
Incorrect information may cause a delay in processing your order.
CANCELLATIONS POLICY
Internet is a very powerful tool to search and compare vendors and as such
provides unique opportunities to buy at very low prices. At Sale Stores we
try to be very competitive with our prices providing you with an excellent
service. However, due to the intense competition in prices, our margins are
low and those low margins severely limit our flexibility regarding our
policies for returned merchandise and cancelled orders when compared to
conventional stores.
We
would recommend you to shop in conventional (brick & mortar) stores if you
are unsure about what product do you want, what types of functionalities you
are looking for in a product or weather a product can be connected or works
well with others that you might already have.
In
all those instances, you are probably going to be better served by shopping
in conventional stores that usually provide you with very accommodating
return and cancellation policies, obviously at a higher price.
Once
you are sure of the brand, model, functionalities or connectivity that you
want in a product, then you are probably going to be better serve shopping
with us.
Once you place the order, we will proceed to ship from stock or place a
purchase order to the manufacturer and have them ship directly to you. Since
generally we are not allowed to return purchased items, we cannot accept
cancellations. So please be sure about the purchase you are making. Once you
do it, it is final.
However, we will do our best to help in these cases:
- If you call and want to cancel the order before we have processed it in
our system, in most cases we will gladly cancel it. We usually try to
process all orders as soon as possible, so, the earlier you call, the better
the chance that your order had not been processed and can be cancelled. Keep
in mind it is not our obligation to accept your cancellation request.
Sometimes, we have already put a lot of work in researching availability of
the product, credit card verification, etc. So, if you call and want to
cancel the order after we have processed it in our system, but the product
has not shipped yet: Provided that we can stop the shipment, we will gladly
cancel your order, but will have to charge you a $25 cancellation fee. Keep
in mind it is not our obligation to accept your cancellation request.
Sometimes it is not simple or fast to get a cancellation confirmation from
our suppliers, and even if the cancellation request comes before the product
has shipped, by the time we receive a response from our supplier, the
product might have shipped.
- If product has shipped: NO CANCELLATION IS OR WILL BE POSSIBLE. Please
refer to our Returns policy.
In
case we cancel your order, a cancellation
e-mail will be sent to you. If you do not receive the
cancellation e-mail, please insist on obtaining a cancellation notice from
us, to be confident that your order did not proceed. Otherwise, the item
might be shipped and therefore we will charge your credit card. Once the
product has shipped, we can not accept cancellations therefore the product
is yours (not even if you reject the package). A cancellation email will
clearly state that the order is cancelled. Any other email or communication
that does not clearly state the order is cancelled is not considered a
cancellation.
REPLACEMENTS POLICY
Under no circumstances will a replacement be initiated after 21 days of the
Invoice date.
If the product you ordered arrives via UPS
or FEDEX and there is visible damage on the box, DO NOT ACCEPT IT. This will
make it easier for us to send you a replacement. If the product you ordered
arrives via truck, TAKE YOUR TIME to inspect it. Many truck drivers pressure
customers to sign the documents quickly. You have the right to take all the
time needed to inspect the product thoroughly before signing. If you see
signs of transport damage, either refuse the package or write a note in the
document that you sign. After the bill of lading is signed "free and clear"
by you, it might be difficult or impossible to claim transport damage.
Upon
reception of a product, please inspect the package(s) and if you notice any
apparent damage to any package or its contents which might have occurred
during the transportation of the merchandise, make notes in the delivery
paperwork before accepting it(them). If you accept a damaged packaged
without any remarks, you will loose the recourse against the transport
company and or freight insurance if applicable. Once you accept the package,
please unwrap it with care and call us at once if the product looks
defective, is not what you ordered or was damaged during transport.
It is
important that you follow with care the setup instructions of the
Manufacturer. When in doubt, refer to the manufacturers instructions and if
they do not help you, contact them directly thru their help service centers,
(usually included in the instructions). Please do not call us for setup
advice, since our customer service agents are not trained for that purpose
and would be almost impossible to have them be proficient in the setup of
the thousands of products and brands that we sell.
If
after contacting the manufacturer’s service center they determine that the
product is not performing to specifications due to a defect, then only, if
instructed by the manufacturer, contact us. In most cases, if a product
arrives defective or damaged and you call us within 48 hrs of receipt, we
will give you instructions and send a replacement upon receipt of the
damaged unit. In some cases you will need to cover the shipping cost of the
damaged unit and we will cover the cost of shipping the replacement to you.
Please use only UPS or FEDEX when returning any product to us, insure the
shipment for the total amount including shipping costs, and promptly obtain
and email us the Tracking number. If you want to avoid paying the shipping
cost of the damaged unit back to us (or to our supplier), you can always
call the Manufacturer and have them give you instructions for the repair or
replacement (as per their policy).
If
the product arrives in good condition and after some time or usage, it
malfunctions; you need to contact the Manufacturer directly for warranty
information. Sale Stores reserves the right to accept to replace a product,
even if defective, upon receipt, since the policies of many manufacturers
call for direct repair/ replacement of defective products by their service
centers, without our involvement.
When
a product is being replaced, NO CANCELLATION WILL BE POSSIBLE. Please refer
to our Returns and Cancellations policies.
The Manufacturers of the following products have established alternated
methods to provide for defective products and are not returnable or
replaceable by us under any circumstances:
- All SONY products.
- PANASONIC Massage Chairs, Video Cameras, Other Video Products, Televisions
(CRT, Projection or other), Air Conditioners, Ventilation Fans.
- SANYO Recorders & Dictation Machines.
- JVC Televisions.
- TOSHIBA Televisions 30" or above, including CRT, Projection and Plasma
TVs.
- SHARP LCD Televisions or Monitors, 22" or above.
- FRIGIDAIRE: All products
- GENERAL ELECTRIC or MONOGRAM: All products
In case of a malfunction of the above products, upon receipt, customer has
to contact the manufacturer and they will respond directly or through their
local service centers as the case might be.
RETURNS POLICY
Under no circumstances will a return be initiated after 21 days of the
Invoice date.
Some
customers are confused by the fact that it is common for Department Stores
and Large Retail Chains to accept returns with minimal or no questions
asked. Unfortunately, our competitive pricing does not allow us to be so
flexible in our return Policy.
We
cannot accept returns unless our supplier accepts it, and in case they do,
we are usually subject to a high restocking fee. Therefore, please be
advised that Sale Stores is not obligated to accept returns or to replace
any product. Please contact the Manufacturer for warranty information.
However, we will make exceptions on a case by case basis. Our Customer
Service agent will be able to inform you in your individual case, if we
accept a return or will make a replacement of a product. In those cases, our
agent will issue you a Return
Authorization number (RA).
Without the RA#, no refund will ever be given, even if the customer ships
the product(s) back to us or to our suppliers. In other words, you need to
communicate with us before taking any action.
If
you have obtain a RA# and instructions for the return of the product from
our agent, if it is for a refund, you will be charged a re-stocking fee of
40% of the value of the product plus a $25 return processing fee, and refund the
difference. No freight cost (either way) will be refunded, which means that
you have to pay for the return freight. In most cases, to be able to credit
and refund, we need to wait for our suppliers to issue a credit. The
process can take weeks. We will not be responsible for any finance charges
incurred by the customer while waiting for the refund.
If a
product is returned because the customer does not like it or the customer
states it does not perform as advertised, even with an RA#, it will be
subject to the restocking and return processing fees stated in the previous
paragraph. We cannot be responsible for manufacturers' claims or product
quality. The customer is free to call or write directly to the manufacturer
about quality or other product issues.
As a general rule, we will not accept returns on OPEN BOX items. Once
opened, a product cannot be sold as new and loses a large part of its
value. In some very exceptional cases we will accept returns of certain
open box items but they will be subject to re-stocking fees that can range
from (50% to 99% of the value of the product), depending on the market price
of the product (as open box) at the time and on the condition of the item as
determined when received returned by us.
Due to the conditions set up by the manufacturers or their distributors, the
following products are not returnable to, or replaceable by us under any
circumstances:
- All SONY products.
- PANASONIC Massage Chairs, Video Cameras, Other Video Products, Televisions
(CRT, Projection or other), Air Conditioners, Ventilation Fans.
- SANYO Recorders & Dictation Machines.
- JVC Televisions.
- TOSHIBA Televisions 30" or above, including CRT, Projection and Plasma
TVs.
- SHARP LCD Televisions or Monitors, 22" or above.
- FRIGIDAIRE: All products
- GENERAL ELECTRIC or MONOGRAM: All products
- ARISTON: All Products
In case of a malfunction of the above products, upon receipt, customer has
to contact the manufacturer and they will respond directly or through their
local service centers as the case might be.
UNJUSTIFIED CREDIT CARD CHARGE BACKS
A chargeback is the process initiated by our credit card operator when a
customer disputing a charge made on his card.
All
our policies try to minimize the events when your credit card will be
charged erroneously. We will charge your
card once the order is processed and goods are ready to be shipped or were
already shipped. In addition, all our customers have to read and
acknowledge our cancellation, return, replacement, order acceptance and
payment policies prior to placing an order with us. Our system would not
allow our customers to place an order otherwise. We do all this in order to
make sure that you know how we intent do business and what to expect from
us. If after knowing our policies you still place your order, you are
consenting to abide by them in all your dealings with us. We try to be fair
and reasonable in all our conducts. If you do not like our policies, please
do business with someone else with policies more to your liking.
That
is why we will charge a $75 penalty fee for every
unjustified credit card
chargeback against our company that you initiate.
Chargeback’s cause us great damage to our credit standing with our merchant
processor and also make us lose valuable time.
We consider a chargeback unjustified when: (all real cases that had happened
to us)
- A customer orders and receives his product. The product is perfect and no
complaints. Later, after seeing the charge on his credit card bill, forgets
he ordered and starts a dispute with the credit card before realizing he did
buy it from us.
- A customer orders and receives the product ordered. Product works fine.
However, the customer doesn't like it, doesn't fit his other products, or
any other reason on his side. Instead of calling us to try to help him,
starts a dispute.
- A customer orders and receives the product ordered. Then, for some reason
needs to return it. In case we and/or our supplier accept the return,
customer is subject to the re-stocking fee per our Return Policy. Customer
doesn't agree to the re-stocking fee and starts a dispute.
- A customer orders and receives the product ordered. Then, without any
authorization from us, ships it back to us or to our supplier (which in most
cases gets lost). Then, immediately starts a dispute.
- A customer orders and receives the product ordered. Uses the product for
some time and then decides that he doesn't like the quality or whatever
other reason. Then, the customer calls us and we tell them that the product
is under manufacturer's warranty and all concerns or complaints should be
directed to the manufacturer. Then the customer insists that he wants to
return disregarding our no returns policies. Since at that time we cannot
accept the return, the customer starts a dispute.
- A customer obtains a return authorization and ships back the defective
unit, supposedly to get the exchange, but then decides he cannot wait for
the exchange and starts a dispute with the credit card.
- A customer obtains a return authorization and ships back the defective
unit, and we agreed to accept the return without shipping and exchange.
Normally we have to wait for our supplier to issue the credit memo or for
the freight company to issue the claim check. The customer gets impatient
and starts a dispute.
In all these cases and some others that we deem unjustified, we will dispute
the chargeback and immediately issue an invoice for $75. If the customer
doesn't agree to pay this amount via credit card, we will send such invoice
to a Collection Agency, which will collect that amount plus any other
charges incurred by the Collection Agency until paid in full. The reason
for this strict policy is that some customers are abusing their power with
their credit cards, and want to blame us for their mistakes.
SALES TAX
If required by law, Sale Stores will add sales tax to the order to be paid
by the customer. Applicable sales tax will be charged on all orders to be
delivered in the state on Florida. Additional county sales taxes might
apply.
WARRANTY INFORMATION
Products purchased from Sale Stores carry full manufacturer’s warranty and
issues arising from the same must be taken up within directly with the
manufacturers. Sale Stores will not be responsible for warranty in the event
the manufacturer goes out of business or refused to honor the warranty.
INTERNATIONAL ORDERS
Sale Stores Exports to many countries. We do accept international
orders, with a minimum order of $2,500 and paid ONLY via Bank Wire Transfers
in advance or Letters of Credit.
PRICE PROTECTION
Our Company does not offer price protection. So, If you place an order and
later the web price is lowered, we will not adjust the original order to the
new price.
RETURNED CHECKS
In the event
a check from a customer is returned by our Bank due to insufficient funds or
any other reason, it will incur in an automatic $50 returned check fee, and
the check amount will incur in a 29% interest per year or the highest
interest rate permissible by law.
SHIPPING POLICY
Sale Stores does not ship on Saturday or Sunday. In some cases, Saturday
delivery can be arranged. Due to shipping restrictions we cannot deliver to
P.O. Boxes, or to APO or FPO addresses. Standard Ground Shipping usually takes 3 to 10
business days to arrive, from the moment it ships, not counting the days until it ships. There can be delays in our purchasing department, waiting for our suppliers to confirm price and/or availability. Furthermore, once the order is processed, we don't control our suppliers so sometimes they ship immediately and sometimes they take some extra time to ship.
Some
items may be too large or too heavy to be shipped by the method you have
chosen, or to your chosen destination. Oversized and heavyweight items can
not be shipped via UPS or FedEx. Some items (for example, all TV's over 20")
can only be shipped by trucking companies. In these instances shipping
prices are subject to increase, based upon size and weight. In any event, we
will contact you to inform you about the shipping charges, and only ship
your order upon approval. Orders generally take two to five business days to
process prior to shipping. However, orders may not ship quickly if we and
our suppliers are out of stock. We cannot and do not guarantee shipping in
any specific time frame. If you call us, we will give you an estimate to the
best of our knowledge.
When
placing orders online we only ship Ground. If the unit ships with UPS or
Fedex, deliveries will not require signature. If the unit ships by Motor
Freight (Truck), the default shipment shipping charge is "Dock to Dock" to a
Commercial Address. If you need liftgate (to lower products from truck to
the floor), Residential delivery, Inside delivery, "White Glove" delivery,
Call prior to shipment, or any other Optional service, you must CALL US
BEFORE placing your order to obtain a shipping quote. If a delivery is made
and the shipment is refused because an optional service was not purchased,
you will be responsible for freight charges back and forth and re-stocking
fees.
If the product you ordered
arrives via UPS or FEDEX and there is visible damage on the box, DO NOT ACCEPT
IT. This will make it easier for us to send you a replacement. If the product
you ordered arrives via truck, TAKE YOUR TIME to inspect it. Many truck drivers
pressure customers to sign the documents quickly. You have the right to take all
the time needed to inspect the product thoroughly before signing. If you see
signs of transport damage, either refuse the package or write a note in the
document that you sign. After the bill of lading is signed "free and clear" by
you, it might be difficult or impossible to claim transport damage.
