Tips for Navigating our Site
• Daily Deal: With a new deal every 24 hours, A4C offers you great items at competitive online pricing. Check our site every day for the Daily Deal and save loads on Bluetooths, Cases, Chargers and other accessories. The Daily Deal ticker lets you know how much longer you have to order our special of the day, but order quick, as the Daily Deal is only available while supplies lasts. You can access the Daily Deal page here.
• Strike through pricing: Crossed out pricing on our website that is posted next to our actual sale price, is the original MSRP or list price for a brand new product. The advertised sale discount amount therefore will be comparing the pricing of our product (which may be refurbished or preowned - if stated in the product title) to that of a brand new product as purchased directly from the manufacturer.
• Finding Product Information: All the information that we can provide you with about an item is listed on our site under the 'Description' and 'Specifications' tabs. If you do not see the information you are looking for, try contacting the manufacturer for more information about specific product specifications.
• How to Use the Shopping Cart: Please understand that placing an available item in the shopping cart does not reserve it for you. An item is only assigned to your order once your order has been placed. Once an item is in your shopping cart, you can update it by deleting it from your cart or changing the quantity. After the item has been added, you can proceed to checkout or continue browsing our site, but remember, items won't stay in your cart forever.
• Search Terms: If you are shopping for a specific item, type a few keywords into the search box to see if we carry it. You can also try searching by category under Shop in the navigation bar, i.e. Tablets & eReaders, Audio, Cases, or by manufacturer.
• Creating an Account: Personalize the way you shop on our site by creating an A4C account. With an account, you can move through the checkout process faster, store multiple shipping addresses, view and track your orders in your account, add items to your Wishlist, easily compare items, and more. You can quickly and easily create an account by clicking here.
• Newsletter Subscription / Unsubscribe: By signing up for our newsletter, you're signing up for great deals and exclusive special offers. If you no longer wish to receive these emails, just click “Unsubscribe” at the top of the email.
Products
• What if I see something I like but don't want to buy it just yet? If you see something you're interested in but aren't ready to make a purchase, you can add it to your Wishlist. That way, you won't have to search for the product when you're ready to order it. When you are ready to make the purchase, simply click the "Add to Cart" button and proceed to checkout.
• What if the product I want is out of stock? Due to our popular prices and high demand, an item you want may go out of stock before you have a chance to purchase it. We sincerely apologize for this inconvenience, but what you can do is click on the "Notify When In Stock" button and we will inform you when the item is back in stock.
• Quantity Limits: In order to ensure that the majority of customers can enjoy our great prices, we may place quantity limits on certain items.
• Comparing Products: With the unique Compare Products feature, you can compare multiple products in an easy-to-view format. Just click "Add to Compare" on any products you wish to compare. Once you've selected the products, click "Compare" to view all of the items' specifications lined up neatly and clearly, so you can single out the one that best suits your wants and needs.
• Wholesale: If you're looking to buy in Bulk at discounted prices, just click on the "Wholesale Customers" box on the right-hand side of any product page. Simply fill out the Wholesale Form and our Wholesale Department will get back to you as soon as possible.
• Selling to A4C: If you are a seller and think A4C might be interested in buying your products, you can reach out to support@a4c.com .
Product Condition
• What condition are your products in? All of the products we sell on A4C.com are new unless stated otherwise.
• Refurbished Items: All products marked as Refurbished have been reconditioned here at A4C. We rigorously conduct a multi-step test process on each refurbished item to ensure they operate as intended. While small scratches may exist on these products, their performance and functionality have not been comprised. We guarantee all refurbished products to be fully functional. Products we sell as refurbished come with our 90 Day warranty.
•Certified Refurbished Items: Products marked as Certified Refurbished will be in better cosmetic condition than the 'refurbished' mentioned in the paragraph above. They have been certified by A4C (the seller of record) to look like new, and have been professionally personally inspected by our QC to pass a rigorous visual inspection. Each certified refurbished item ships with a full 90 warranty from A4C.
•Pre-Owned Items: The 3rd condition of items sold at A4C is Pre-Owned . These items too have been thoroughly tested by our engineers to ensure that they are in 100% full working condition, and they are covered by our risk-free 30-day "just because" return policy. There may be, however, visual signs of use from a previous owner. The item can show wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
Warranty
• What are the warranty terms? All Refurbished items sold by A4C have our very own, 90-day replacement warranty. Should there be an issue due too a product defect within 90 days of purchase, simply email our customer service and they will arrange an RMA for you.
Shipping
• Which carriers do you ship with? When you place an order at A4C.com you can receive your shipment via standard shipping services, or you can select the method of your choosing.

If you need your items delivered a bit quicker, we also offer Priority Mail, Express Mail, Next Day Air and more. You can find a complete list of all our shipping options when you check out.
• Why is my deal item charging me shipping? There are some deal sites such as Living Social and Eversave that display A4C deals, that DO include a shipping charge. This shipping charge is noted on the product page of the deal website, and the item on our site will not display the free shipping banner.
• How long will it take to receive my shipment? At A4C, we offer you quick processing and shipping times. Orders are generally processed and shipped out the same or next business day, which means that United States customers receive their purchases within 2-7 business days.
• Do you ship outside of the United States? Yes! Luckily, for all of our international A4C fans, we do ship to you! Please be patient when it comes to shipping as it will take a bit longer for you to receive your package, due to travel time and customs. Please note, with the exception of DDP shipping to Canada, customers are responsible for all custom fees and taxes incurred during shipment.
• Why doesn't my tracking number give me any information about my order? A4C does not provide tracking numbers for shipments weighing less that 3 oz. Therefore, if you placed a small order, you may not get any information about the location of your order when you click on the tracking number. That number simply lets you know that postage has been paid.
