Will I get my tracking number?

We will send you a tracking number to follow your parcel within the next 24 hours from the order’s collection. Do not hesitate to contact us if it is not the case and please check the Junk Email folder, as these are automated mails that your email service might detect as junk.

Shipping worldwide but… “My country is not on the list!

If you are trying to make an order but you can’t find your country when entering your shipping address, maybe you’re living on another planet, or maybe you’re the first person in your country that wants some Aclam products, what an honour! We will make you a free-gift if this happens! :) Just contact us and we will work to activate your country in our system so you can proceed normally.

Duties and customs

Orders shipped outside of the EU are subject to local taxes and customs charges, which we cannot foretell as each country has their own rules and taxation laws. We track all the orders we ship, making sure any requirement is covered, so that you don’t need to worry about any paperwork; but if your local customs authority requests a payment, there is nothing we can do about it, nor we’ll take responsibility for that expense, at the end of the day it is money for your government.

If the order does not arrive or in the event of any problems, what do I need to do?

It’s easier for you to contact us at sales@aclam.cat or call +34 931 701 767, than panic running around like a headless chicken.

Check the timings of your selected shipping method, since we cannot do anything if deadlines haven’t been met.

We will take full responsibility of any issue within the timings by reshipping the order or, in case you wish to cancel, refunding the whole amount of the order.

Bear in mind that we won’t proceed with a refund until the ticket has been resolved by the shipper and the parcel has been redirected back to us in case it hasn't got lost.

 

PAYMENT

How can I pay for my order?

You can make your payment using PayPal or a credit/debit card (VISA or Mastercard).

If you pay by card, does the cardholder have to be the same person as the purchaser?

It is not necessary.

Can I use my passport instead of the National Identity Document?

You can use your passport, but if you are resident in Spain, we recommend using your National Identity Document.

Can I pay in instalments? Is it possible to finance my purchase?

We do not offer financing or the possibility to pay in instalments.

RETURNS

What does the guarantee cover? What does it not cover?

Ours products are covered under guarantee for two years from the purchase date, under the conditions and supporting evidence regulated by current Spanish Legislation. The product guarantee will only be applicable by presenting the proof of purchase, which is the invoice or the receipt.

A product is covered under guarantee if it presents lack of conformity because it does not correspond to the product characteristics specified, is defective which prevents its normal use according to its purpose, or does not function as described. The purchaser has the right to have the article repaired or replaced (either the product or the faulty component, at the discretion of the manufacturer).

To make a claim, the purchaser must return the product to the store where it was purchased within one month from discovering the fault, and report the nature of the problem, the time and the circumstances under which it occurred.

If the product was purchased through our website, the purchaser can claim by sending us an email with the proof of purchase attached and a detailed report of the defect, the time and the circumstances under which it occurred and the corresponding supporting evidence.

Any repair or replacement covered under guarantee will be free of charge.

If it is proven that the defects reported by the purchaser are incorrect or have occurred more than one month before the date notified, or are not covered under guarantee according to current Spanish Legislation, a quote may be given for repair or replacement of the article out of guarantee.

The same procedure will be followed if the faults in the article are the result of unsuitable use, the product has been handled by third parties before the repair, has been incorrectly stored, or due to force majeure or any other cause not attributable to the manufacturer. Unsuitable use or incorrect storage also includes failure to follow the instruction manual or documentation included with the product and/or on the manufacturer’s website www.aclamguitars.com.

In general, the purchaser agrees to inspect the article purchased immediately following delivery and to inform about any possible lack of conformity as soon as possible, to avoid further damage, as a measure of goodwill.

How can I return the article I have purchased?

Please send an e-mail to guitars@aclam.cat explaining why you have returned the article and our sales department will contact you in order to process the refund.

If I do not like the product or I am not sure about it, can I return it?

You can return a product within a 30-day period following the receipt of the order. Even though the shipping cost in these cases are usually taken care by the end user, at Aclam we offer free returns as well.  However, Aclam reserves the right to charge for the returns if done repeatedly by the same user. The goods must be returned with the original packaging, good condition and with all the items included originally.

Do I need to pay for shipping if I return a product?

If there is a manufacturing defect, shipping will be paid by ACLAM (freight collect). If the goods are returned because the purchaser does not want them, Aclam will take care of the shipping costs. However, Aclam reserves the right to charge for the returns if done repeatedly by the same user. The goods must be returned with the original packaging, good condition and with all the items included originally.

How many days will it take for me to find out if the guarantee covers the damage?

Once we have received the product, within 24-48 hours you will receive a response to inform you of the decision.
