* How do I know if an item is in stock?

All titles listed are in stock unless it says otherwise, and our database is kept as up-to-date and is accurate as is possible. Occasionally a record may go out of stock which shows as being in stock - if this occurs and you order it, you will not be charged for it and it won’t be shipped.

    * Can I order by telephone or fax?

Sorry but all orders must be placed via our secure online order system. This allows us to have an electronic record of the transaction which we can both refer to if necessary.

    * What forms of payment do you accept?

We accept the following credit and debit cards: Visa, Delta, Switch, Mastercard, Maestro, Solo, Eurocard, JCB American Express and UK issued Visa Electron. We also accept PayPal, cheques, money orders, bank transfers.

    * How do I pay with PayPal, cheques, money orders or a bank transfer?

Just send an email with your address and a list of the items you want to orders@jazzmanrecords.co.uk and we will get back to you with a total and how to pay.

    * How long do you take to despatch an order?

We try to ship the same day, Monday – Friday, if we receive your order up to 6pm. Please note that during busy times or holidays it might take a little longer.

    * Is ordering from the Jazzman website secure?

Yes the shopping cart is encrypted to ensure 100% security.

    * How long will my order take to arrive?

UK: we always use 1st class post and delivery normally takes 1-2 working days.
Europe: regular airmail takes 3-5 working days.
Rest of the world: regular airmail takes 4-9 working days.
The time that your order takes to arrive depends on your distance from the UK, and on the efficiency of your local postal service. Depending on factors beyond our control (for example local delivery problems, and customs inspections/delays) postage times can sometimes take longer.

    * Do you have a shop I can visit?

Sorry but we operate from our warehouse and we don’t have shopping facilities.

    * Is it possible to collect my order from your offices, instead of having it mailed?

Yes just email us at orders@jazzmanrecords.co.uk and we will be in touch to make arrangements.

    * When will my card be charged?

We charge your card only when your order has been packed and is ready to ship.

    * How will the package be delivered?

In the UK we use first class Royal Mail. For the rest of the world your package will usually be delivered by your national postal service. For larger boxes delivery may be made by DHL or Fedex.

    * I am ordering from outside the EU - will VAT be deducted from my order?

No, unfortunately we cannot offer this service.

    * Can you supply wholesale orders to shops and distributors?

We can supply records on the Jazzman, FUNK45, SOUL7, Jukebox Jam, Soul Spectrum and Fryers labels at wholesale prices to some shops and distributors for territories that we don’t have a distribution agreement. Please email gerald@jazzmanrecords.co.uk for details. Otherwise please contact www.kudosrecords.co.uk

    * What if my card payment is declined or not authorized?

Your order will be reserved for you, and you will receive an e-mail from us to inform you of the problem. If you do not contact us, we will retry your card once a week for 2 weeks, and then cancel the order. If you think we may have incorrect card information, or wish to submit alternative card details, please email us at orders@jazzmanrecords.co.uk.

    * Is my package insured against loss or damage in the post?

At the point of purchase you have the option to pay £5.00 for Registered Post which covers against loss or damage in the post. Please note we cannot be held responsible for loss or damage of items in the post that are not insured.

    * If I order from outside the UK, will I pay customs charges?

If you are ordering from within EU Europe, you will pay no customs charges. Most other countries allow small packages to be delivered without charge, but some charge customs duty - please contact your national customs office regarding this subject, as the customer is always liable for any such charges.

    * What if I receive a faulty record or CD?

We will replace any faulty item free of charge, although we cannot refund your return postage costs. Please contact us via orders@jazzmanrecords.co.uk, and do not return faulty items to us without contacting us first. Either a replacement non-faulty copy of the same product, store credit or refund will be given.

    * What if I don’t like the records I have ordered? Can I return them?

Wherever possible we provide accurate descriptions of records and also post soundclips and pictures. On that basis all sales are final.

    * I have received only part of my order - why is this?

It’s likely that you were sent 2 or more packages. For instance, your 45s might have been packaged in one box, and your LPs in another. Due to the vagaries of the postal system the other package should turn up soon.
