Caveat Emptor


I almost never post and never have submitted a bad review but my experience with Apos Audio requires me to do such.

I ordered a DAC from them and they sent wrong color. I tried to contact them via phone and the only way to get someone's attention is through email.  They gave a slight refund if I wanted to keep the DAC which I accepted.  Then when I hooked it up it would not work correctly. They offered suggestions on a possible fix which I tried all to no avail. I asked to send the unit back to get refund and that is when the issue on a 20% restocking fee was communicated to me due to having it longer than the time allowed.  This was not acceptable to me as I had to wait for their response between emails.  I sent the unit back and filed a dispute with Paypal and it took me 3 weeks from the time they received it to get my money.  I will never buy from them again and will give my business to Mother Amazon where returns are much simpler and I don't have to write numerous emails to get refund.

Just a heads up to all.

Says right on their website:

 

  • Return requests made between 15 and 45 days after the order is marked as delivered will be subject to a 20% Processing Fee*.

 

I found it in about 30 seconds. 

Did you make the return request before the 15 days, but they didn't get back to you until after the 15 days so they're charging you re-stocking? If that's the case, that's pretty bogus....

Thanks for the heads up.  After reading their "defective on arrival" policy and their regular "return policy" I would not hesitate to order from them and have thus bookmarked their site for future consideration. 

If anything you should apologize to them for not reading the fine print and not returning the defective item immediately.  They allow a 45 day return policy (20% restocking) but if the item is defective on arrival you must report it within 7 days, receive their prepaid shipping label, and they even give you another 5 days to drop it off to the shipper!  Or get a full refund!
