Low Price Guarantee:
Your value is assured! We guarantee prices on all that we sell and will match advertised prices from any website, publication or local store (No Auctions). If you find a lower advertised price on day of your purchase, simply email or fax us a copy of the advertisement and we will match it. Items must be the identical model in comparable condition and must be physically available for purchase. Availability, shipping and taxes will be included in our price match decision. The item must be offered by a factory authorized retailer with appropriate warranty. Proof of lower advertised price must be received within five days of your purchase.

Because our product is intended for U.S. consumption, all electrical items and/or components are designed to operate on 110 volts unless otherwise specified in the description.
In-store Advantage:
Traditionally, support for on-line purchases is limited to manufacturer channels; phone, email, or off-site warranty service. Our in-store shopping experience is more robust. We carry many brands and models that are not available through internet channels. In-store purchases can include: lifetime one-on-one operator lessons, in-house warranty service, no-interest payment programs and more. Pricing may reflect these value-added programs.

Corrections or updates may occur after you have submitted an order from our Website. In that event, we will attempt to contact you with the correct information before processing your order. If we are unable to contact you with the correct information, then you may return the item according to our return policy. If an item is listed at an incorrect price or with incorrect information, then at our sole discretion we reserve the right to refuse orders for that item, contact you for instructions, or cancel your order and notify you of the cancellation.
