Orders & payment

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept major credit and debit cards, PayPal and a range of express payment options, including Apple Pay, Google Pay and Shop Pay. The payment methods available to you will be shown at checkout.

Do your prices include VAT?

Yes. The main product price includes VAT, and the equivalent excluding-VAT price is shown alongside in lighter text. Your checkout and order documents will show the full VAT details.

Will I receive an order confirmation?

Yes. We will email you an order confirmation shortly after your order has been placed. If you cannot see it, please check your junk or spam folder before contacting us.

Can I change or cancel my order?

Please contact us as soon as possible if you need to change or cancel an order. We will do our best to help, but changes cannot normally be made once an order has been processed or dispatched.

Why has my payment been declined?

Payments may be declined by your bank or payment provider for several reasons. Check that your billing details are correct and contact your payment provider if the problem continues.

When will I be charged?

Payment is normally taken when you complete checkout. Orders placed using an alternative payment arrangement or equipment finance may follow different payment terms.

Can I receive a VAT invoice?

The order confirmation will not be specifically a VAT Invoice. Please contact us with your order number if you require a specific invoice document.

Can I use a discount code?

Enter your discount code in the appropriate box at checkout. Only one discount may be accepted per order unless the promotion states otherwise, and some products may be excluded.

Products & availability

How do I know whether a product is in stock?

The product page will show its current availability. Please check any stock, pre order or backorder message before placing your order.

What happens if my order contains an out-of-stock item?

Your order may be held until all products are available. We will do our best to contact you about significant delays. Contact us if you urgently need the available products and we will check whether a separate shipment is possible.

Can an expected stock date change?

Yes. Expected dates are based on the latest information provided by the supplier and are not guaranteed. We will update you if we become aware of a significant change affecting your order.

Can you source a product that is not shown on the website?

Possibly. Soundkit works with a wide range of professional audio manufacturers and suppliers. Contact us with the product name, manufacturer and any relevant model number and we will check availability.

How do I know whether a product is compatible with my equipment?

Check the compatibility information on the product page. If you are unsure, contact us with the exact make and model of your equipment, including connector, frequency or size information where relevant.

Can you help me choose the right product?

Yes. Tell us what equipment you already use, what you are trying to achieve and any important requirements. Our team will help you compare suitable options.

What is included with the product?

Where available, the product page includes a “What’s in the Box” or “What’s Included” section. Product photographs may show additional equipment for demonstration purposes, so check the written list before ordering.

Where can I find specifications and dimensions?

Technical specifications, dimensions and compatibility information are shown on the product page where available. Contact us if a specification you need is not listed.

Where can I find manuals and technical downloads?

Relevant manuals, datasheets, software and technical downloads may be available in the Downloads section of the product page. Some resources may link directly to the manufacturer’s website.

Are product photographs always exact?

We aim to keep product photographs accurate, but manufacturers may update packaging, colours or minor design details without notice. The product title, description and selected variant should be used to confirm what you are ordering.

UK delivery & collection

How much does UK delivery cost?

Standard UK delivery costs £4.50 and usually takes 2–4 working days. Free standard delivery is available on eligible UK orders over £250.

Do you offer free delivery?

Yes. We offer free standard delivery on eligible UK orders over £250. Free delivery uses our standard 2–4 working day service.

Do you offer Next Working Day delivery?

Next Working Day delivery is available on eligible in-stock orders placed before 1pm. It is only available for qualifying products under 30kg and may not be available for every UK postcode.

Does ordering before 1pm guarantee next-day delivery?

No. The order must also contain eligible in-stock products and successfully complete payment and order checks. Please note, if you order before 1pm on a Friday, the items will be delivered on Monday.

When will my order be dispatched?

In-stock orders are normally processed as quickly as possible. Orders placed after the stated cut-off, during weekends or on bank holidays will normally begin processing on the next working day.

How will my order be packaged?

We aim to protect your equipment while avoiding unnecessary packaging waste. Where suitable, we use recyclable cardboard and paper-based materials, reuse clean packaging from supplier deliveries and choose appropriately sized boxes.

Some products may require additional protective packaging to ensure that they arrive safely.

How can I track my order?

Once your order has been dispatched, we will email you a shipping confirmation with your tracking details. You can follow the tracking link in that email or view updates through your Shopify order-status page.

Can I collect my order?

Yes. Select collection at checkout where available. We will contact you once your order is ready, so please wait for confirmation before travelling.

What times can I collect my order?

Monday–Friday
8:30am–5:30pm

However we usually have staff in the building until 8pm so later collection may be available by prior arrangement. Please call ahead.

Saturday collection can be arranged for orders placed during the week. A confirmed collection time is required.

Where do I collect my order?

Collections are from:

Stage Sound Services,
Unit A, Avenue Park Industrial Estate
Pontprennau
Cardiff
CF23 8HE

You'll see a sign which points to collections at the front entrance.

What should I bring when collecting an order?

Please bring your order confirmation and a form of identification. If somebody else is collecting on your behalf, contact us beforehand so that we can record their details.

What happens if I miss my delivery?

The courier will normally make another attempt or provide instructions for rearranging delivery. After repeated unsuccessful attempts, the parcel may be returned to us and an additional delivery charge may be required before it can be resent.

What should I do if my parcel appears damaged?

Where possible, photograph the outer packaging before opening it. Check the contents and contact us promptly with your order number and photographs of the packaging, product and any visible damage.

What should I do if part of my order is missing?

Check the packaging carefully and review your dispatch confirmation, as larger orders may sometimes be sent in more than one parcel. Contact us with your order number if an item is still missing.

What happens if my parcel is delayed?

Tracking updates can occasionally pause while a parcel moves between courier locations. Contact us if the delivery is significantly later than expected and we will investigate with the courier.

International delivery

Do you ship internationally?

Yes. Worldwide shipping is available to many destinations. Available services, delivery costs and estimated delivery times will be shown at checkout.

How much does international delivery cost?

The cost depends on the destination, parcel size, weight and selected delivery service. The available options and charges will be calculated at checkout.

How long does international delivery take?

Delivery times vary by destination and service. Any estimate shown at checkout begins after dispatch and does not include delays caused by customs or local import procedures.

Will I have to pay customs duties or import taxes?

International orders may be subject to customs duties, taxes, import fees or handling charges imposed by the destination country. These charges are normally the responsibility of the recipient and are not included in the product or shipping price shown at checkout.

What happens if I refuse to pay customs charges?

The parcel may be held, returned or destroyed by customs or the courier. In these circumstances, we may be unable to refund the original delivery charge and other costs associated with the order may be deducted from any available refund.

Are any products restricted from international delivery?

Some products may be restricted because of batteries, liquids, radio-frequency regulations, product type or local import rules. It is the buyer’s responsibility to check that the product can legally be imported and used in the destination country.

Can international delivery be delayed by customs?

Yes. Customs inspections and local import procedures are outside our control and may extend the delivery time. We are not responsible for delays caused by customs authorities or local delivery services.

Returns, refunds & exchanges

What is your returns policy?

Consumers can return most unwanted products within 30 days of receiving them, subject to our return conditions and exclusions. Business purchases are not eligible for change-of-mind returns unless agreed by Soundkit.

How do I start a return?

Complete our returns request form or contact us with your order number and the product you wish to return. Please wait for our instructions and returns reference before sending anything back.

Do I need a returns reference?

Yes. Please wait until we have reviewed your request and supplied the relevant return instructions. Display the returns reference clearly and include your order information inside the parcel.

What condition must a returned product be in?

Products should be returned complete and in their original condition, with all accessories, manuals and supplied items included. Where reasonably possible, please also return the original packaging.

Can I open or inspect a product before returning it?

You may inspect a product in the same way that you reasonably could in a shop. If it has been used or handled beyond what is necessary to assess it, we may reduce the refund to reflect any loss in value.

Are any products excluded from returns?

Certain products cannot normally be returned unless faulty, damaged, incorrect or misdescribed. These may include personalised or bespoke products, opened sealed hygiene products, activated digital content, unsealed software and other legally excluded goods.

Can I return a sale item?

Sale and discounted products are not automatically excluded from consumer return rights. The normal return conditions and product exclusions still apply.

Who pays for return postage?

For an unwanted or change-of-mind return, you are responsible for arranging and paying for return postage. Contact us before returning a faulty, damaged, incorrect or misdescribed product so that we can provide the appropriate instructions.

Can I exchange a product?

Yes, subject to availability and approval. We will normally need to receive and inspect the original product before sending a replacement, and any difference in price will be charged or refunded.

When will I receive my refund?

We will inspect your return and contact you once it has been approved. Approved refunds are sent to the original payment method, although your bank or payment provider may need additional time to display the funds. Sometimes this can be a couple of days.

Will my original delivery charge be refunded?

Where the statutory cancellation right applies, we will refund the cost of our least expensive standard delivery service. Premium delivery upgrades are not refundable, and original delivery charges are not normally refunded for returns made only under our additional 30-day service after the statutory cancellation period.

Can I return an item directly to the manufacturer?

Please do not return anything directly to the manufacturer unless Soundkit has instructed you to do so. Contact us first so that we can confirm the correct process.

Where should I send an authorised return?

Unless we provide different instructions, authorised returns should be sent to:

Stage Sound Services
Unit A, Avenue Park Industrial Estate
Pontprennau
Cardiff
CF23 8HE
United Kingdom

Showroom

Do you have a physical store?

What are your showroom opening hours?

Our Cardiff showroom and store is open Monday to Friday from 8:30am until 5:30pm.

Faults & warranties

What should I do if my product is faulty?

Contact us or complete our returns and warranty form with your order number, product name, serial number where applicable and a description of the fault. Please wait for our instructions before sending the product back.

What should I do if I received the wrong product?

Contact us as soon as possible with your order number and photographs of the product received. We will review the issue and arrange the appropriate return or replacement without charging you for our error.

Do your products include a warranty?

Warranty cover varies by product and manufacturer. Where a specific manufacturer warranty applies, its length and any relevant conditions will be shown on the product page or in the supplied documentation.

How do I make a warranty claim?

Complete our returns and warranty form or contact us with your order number, product name, serial number and a clear description of the problem. We may need to inspect the product or refer the claim to the manufacturer.

Do I need the product serial number?

Please provide the serial number where the product has one. It helps us identify the product, check warranty eligibility and communicate with the manufacturer.

Do I need to register my product for its warranty?

This depends on the manufacturer. Some warranties apply automatically, while others require registration or provide an extended period after registration. Check the warranty information on the product page.

How do I extend the warranty on a Sound Devices product?

Eligible Sound Devices products include a 1-year manufacturer warranty that can be extended to 2 years in total by registering the product directly with Sound Devices within the first year. Use the registration link provided on the relevant product page.

What is normally excluded from a manufacturer warranty?

Warranty cover does not normally include accidental damage, misuse, unauthorised modification, ordinary wear and tear or damage caused by failing to follow the manufacturer’s instructions. The exact exclusions depend on the manufacturer’s terms.

What happens if my product is outside its warranty?

Contact us with the product details and a description of the problem. We will advise whether repair, manufacturer support or another paid solution may be available.

Does a manufacturer warranty replace my statutory rights?

No. A manufacturer warranty is provided in addition to your statutory rights and does not replace or restrict them.

Please see our page on Equipment Finance

Can a business return an unwanted product?

Business-to-business purchases are not eligible for change-of-mind returns unless Soundkit agrees to the return in writing. This does not affect applicable remedies where goods are faulty, damaged, incorrect, misdescribed or supplied in breach of contract.
