Price Protection
Price Protection
Sudden price drops are unforeseen and, in most cases, manufacturer driven. Due to this fact, we are unable to extend price protection to the products we sell. We hope that you feel secure in the knowledge that on the day you purchased your products from Visual Apex, you paid a competitive price from an authorized, five-star dealer who will stand by you and the products we sell.

Our Warehousing - Stocking for Your Convenience
As an authorized dealer, Visual Apex stocks a large quantity of the most popular projectors and plasma displays from the leading manufacturers, as well as a vast assortment of the accessories we offer to create your complete solution.

Our ability to stock allows us to extend you competitive if not the best pricing online from an authorized, five-star dealer. We are able to ship the majority of the products we offer within 24 hours of placing your order online or by phone through our dedicated sales staff. In addition, it allows us to offer free ground shipping on the majority of projectors we carry. And, as always, we don�t charge sales tax on orders shipped outside of Washington state.

If you cannot inspect the product for damage at the time of delivery, please sign for it and attach the message "Possible Concealed Damage." Please note any and all box damage on the Bill of Lading. Customers must report damage to Visual Apex within 24 hours of delivery.

Return Policy
Standard Return Policy
Non defective returns: Use our easy 5/10/15 return (5 hours within 10 days of receipt equals 15% restock). Just call customer service for a return authorization.

If your unit is defective, please refer to the manufacturer-specific policy below.

Visual Apex will not accept any returns that have box damage, UPC labels removed or any of the original contents or packaging missing. No credits will be issued for merchandise returned without prior approval from Visual Apex. See RMA section below.

Please note: This policy does not apply to projection screens, projector lamps, furniture, opened software, custom cases and custom- length cables. All sales are final on these products.

Click here to see the defective unit policy.

RMA Authorization
Prior to returning any merchandise, a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) must be obtained from Visual Apex. Contact customerservice@visualapex.com to request an RMA. RMAs are valid for a period of 15 calendar days. Display the RMA number on the shipping label. Do not write the RMA number on the box! (This makes it non-resalable and you will be charged for replacing the box.) Merchandise is to be returned with freight prepaid and must be insured. Shipping, insurance, and handling is the responsibility of the customer and credits for return merchandise will not be issued until the product is received, inspected, and found to be in acceptable condition. Acceptable shipping carriers are UPS or Fed-Ex. Do not send return merchandise via U.S. Mail; it will be refused. Products returned by U.S. Mail will not be credited or exchanged.

In the event that Visual Apex authorizes return of merchandise, the merchandise must be returned in new and resalable condition including, but not limited to: all original packaging, packaging materials, UPC label, cords, cables, cartons, documentation, registration and warranty materials, and new condition of the merchandise and packaging materials. Please do not mark on the box! Visual Apex has the sole discretion to specify these and other conditions for the return and credit of merchandise.

Errors on Our Site
Visual Apex makes every effort to provide as current and accurate product information as is available to us from manufacturers and distributors. Product information from manufacturers and/or distributors is subject to change at any time. Visual Apex reserves the right to update information on our website at any time without notice.

Information on this website regarding product, features, services and manufacturers - including pricing, availability, shipping and special offers - may include typographical errors, omissions or inaccuracies. These errors will be corrected upon discovery. Visual Apex reserves the right to refuse or cancel any order based on an incorrect price or offer whether or not the order has been confirmed and your credit card charged. If your credit card has been charged and the order cancelled by Visual Apex, we will issue a full credit to the credit card used. Length of time for the issued credit to appear in your account is based on your individual bank or card issuer. If you are not fully satisfied with your product purchase, you may return it as per usual Visual Apex return policies.

Pre-Order Policy
Pre-Order Policy
Products that have not yet been released by the manufacturer or products that are backordered with the manufacturer can be purchased from Visual Apex as a "pre-order". When placing a pre-order, we will take all information from the customer - including billing information - as if placing an order for an in-stock product. However, we will not charge for pre-order products (excluding accessories) until the product is available to ship out. When the product is available, we will contact the customer to confirm their order and get approval to charge.

Customers purchasing accessories with a pre-order item or accessories that are themselves in a pre-order status will be charged for those accessories when the order is placed. The customer can request to have accessories shipped out promptly or wait to ship with their pre-order product when it becomes available. Customers will be notified if an accessory item is backordered and given the option to continue with the order or cancel the order with no penalty.

If the price of the pre-order product(s) should decrease, the customer will be charged the current price at the time of their approval to charge. If the price of the pre-order product(s) should increase, the customer will be charged the price of the product(s) on the date and time the pre-order was placed. Once the order has been charged, normal price protection policies apply.

Visual Apex does not charge a fee for pre-orders beyond the price of the product, shipping charges and any applicable taxes. If a pre-order is cancelled, the customer will not be charged any "holding" or "processing" fees.

All pre-orders are contacted in the order in which they are received. Visual Apex does not offer preferential service - at a fee or otherwise - for customers to move ahead on a pre-order list.

Receiving Instructions
Here are some tips on how to receive your shipment:

Inspect the outside of the box for dents or dings to the box. Make a note of the dents and dings on the freight air bill.
Ask the driver if you can inspect the display before you sign for it. Some drivers will allow you to open the boxes and inspect the display before you sign for it but most times, they are on a schedule and don't have the time.
If you are not able to inspect the display, make a note on the air bill that there is "possible concealed damage" and then sign for it.
If there is obvious damage to the display (hole through the box etc.), refuse the shipment and call us immediately at 800.883.7495.
Please note any shipping damage on the Bill of Lading. Customers must report damage to Visual Apex within 24 hours of delivery.
Complimentary RCA/BNC adapters are in a small padded envelope and shipped inside plasma box. Please inspect all packing materials.
