HOW IT WORKS

Click the ADD DEMO TO CART button above to add the discounted demo unit to your cart.  On mobile this may open a new tab.

In the Checkout window fill in your customer information and shipping address, and select your shipping method.  Then select Silver Bullet Demo Payment in the Payment Method section (scroll down if on mobile).  This allows us to only initially charge you for the shipping portion of the order.

Silver Bullet Demo payment method

Click Complete order.  Within 24 hours we will send you an email requesting payment info for your order.  Click the link in the email and enter your credit card info.

We will charge your credit card only for the shipping portion of your order.  To verify you understand the terms of the demo we will give you an old-fashioned phone call within 24 hours.  After speaking to you we will ship the unit within 2 business days.

You have 14 days after delivery to evaluate the unit and decide whether or not you want to buy.

What happens if I want to buy the demo?

Simply contact us via phone or email before the 14-day demo period expires and inform us that you want to buy.  We will charge your credit card on file for the balance you were invoiced at checkout.  You get to keep the discounted unit.

What happens if I want to return the demo?

Simply contact us via phone or email to inform us you will be returning the unit.  Box up the unit and its accessories (power cord, power supply, product card) in the original packaging.  The unit should be in the same condition you received it.  We will cover return shipping and email you a prepaid FedEx Ground or USPS Priority Mail shipping label (our choice).  Once we receive the unit and inspect it, we will close out your order.


 


 

THE RULES

By placing an order for a demo unit, you agree to all the terms stated on this page including the FAQ.

  • You must live in the continental U.S.
  • The silverface unit we send you could have slight cosmetic blemishes on the faceplate or enclosure.  It also could have been used by a previous customer demoing the unit.  It could be an open box unit, B-stock, or refurbished unit.  Or it could be brand-spanking-new with no mileage on it.  All demo units are discounted for these reasons.
  • We will call you to verify that you understand the deal before sending you a unit.
  • You have 14 days from the posted delivery date to evaluate the unit.
  • We reserve the right to charge your card for return shipping if you send the unit back after the demo period ends.
  • We will charge your card for the full purchase price on your order confirmation 15 days after the posted delivery date if we have not been notified of your intent to keep or return the unit.
  • Please don't order a demo unit if you know you are going to be leaving for vacation two days after receiving the unit.
  • Please don't order a demo unit to "rent" it for your mix session.
  • Please do not rack the unit or put your beer bottle on top of it.
  • Please save the original packaging and shipping materials in case you decide to return the unit.  We advise taking photos of the unit so you have a record of its condition should it be damaged during return shipping.
  • Louder Than Liftoff LLC reserves the right to charge your credit card for any missing or damaged items when a unit is returned.

 


 

FAQ

Can I demo a Void Corp unit?

Nope.  These are limited edition products and are not always in stock.

I'm not located in the U.S. and I want to demo.  Can I participate?

Presently we aren't offering demo units to non-U.S. based customers, although we may open it up to international customers in the future.

What happens if I'm not available to take your phone call?

If we can't get a hold of you within 2 days then we will cancel your order.  If you'd like to expedite things just give us a call at 408-686-9585 right after you place the order.

What happens if demo units are out of stock?

If you cannot add a demo unit to the cart it means that all available demo units are currently being evaluated by customers. Keep checking back or email us to be notified when they are available again.

What happens if I don't select the correct payment method when I checkout?

You will be charged for the full cost of the unit plus shipping, which is not what you want.  By choosing "Silver Bullet Demo Payment", only the shipping portion of the order will be charged up front.

What gets charged when I check out?

You will be charged for the shipping service you select at checkout.  For most U.S. destinations FedEx Home/Ground will be the least expensive...about $40.

I like the demo unit and want to buy.  Can I exchange for a brand new unit or a Void Corp unit?

Yes, but you will forfeit the demo discount and be responsible for the cost of return shipping, and the shipping to receive the new unit.  Seems like a lot of money spent on shipping.  If you know you want a brand new unit up front, then it's best to just pony up the cash and buy a brand new unit.  We do offer a 14 day return policy on all products.

What happens if the demo period expires?

We will attempt to contact you by phone or email to see if you are interested in purchasing the unit.  If we can't get in touch with you 21 days after receiving unit, then we will assume you have skipped town and will charge your credit card for the full price of the unit.  Please don't be that guy.

Is there a warranty on demo units?

Yes!  Each demo unit has the same 1-year limited warranty specified in the manual as a brand new unit.

How will you know if I damaged the unit?

We inspect, test, and calibrate each demo unit before it goes out to a new customer so that they are receiving a unit we feel proud to put in someone's studio.  We also photograph the units to maintain records of physical condition.  If an accident does occur, please let us know.

Where is my credit card info being stored?

We do not store any of your credit card information on our servers.  For these demo unit transactions we use Stripe as the payment processor, which uses client-side tokenization to securely collect credit card info and store it in a PCI-compliant manner.  For more info about Stripe's security visit this link.

Policies & FAQ

14-day No Hassle Return Policy

Try out our gear in your studio and, if within 14 days you're not satisfied, let us know and we'll issue a refund.

To be eligible for a return, your item must be "like new" and in the same condition that you received it. It must also be in the original packaging with all original materials (power supply, power cord, product card, etc.).  Please refrain from racking 19 inch rackmount gear during this trial period so that the faceplate and enclosure don't get scratched.

To complete your return, just give us a call or shoot us an email, and we'll send you instructions for packing up your unit and shipping it back.  Please note that you will be responsible for return shipping costs and we ask that you insure the unit for its full retail value to protect against loss or damage.  You are responsible for ensuring the products arrive safely at our shop.  Once we receive and inspect the unit we will issue a refund for the purchase price less the cost of shipping.  Units received in any condition other than "like new" may be subject to a restocking fee.

World-Class Shipping

We ship to (just about) any address in the world via USPS, UPS, FedEx, and DHL Express. When you place an order, we will estimate shipping delivery times for you based on your location and the shipping option you choose.  Delivery time estimates are given on the checkout page.  Once payment is approved, in stock products, other than Silver Bullets will ship out from Rogue Planet Command within 2-3 business days.  We ship Silver Bullets within 7-10 business days.  Once an order ships you will be sent tracking information via email and/or Facebook Messenger (if selected at checkout).  Please coordinate with the shipping company to have your package held for pickup if you know you will not be home when the package is expected to arrive.

Please note that the shipping rates for many items we sell are dimensional weight-based. To reflect the policies of the shipping companies we use, weights may be rounded up to the next full pound.  We may substitute UPS for FedEx ground service and vice versaWe also may upgrade UPS and FedEx ground service to USPS Priority Mail if we are feeling extra nice.  

Also note that international customers are required to pay all import duties and taxes required by their respective countries.  When filling out customs forms we declare the actual purchase price.  Please do not ask us to declare lower values.

If you reside outside of North America, we highly recommend DHL Express when ordering a Silver Bullet for the quickest delivery and with zero customs headaches.  If you are in Canada we recommend selecting USPS instead of FedEx or UPS since the customs process is easier and less money.

We require a signature for all Silver Bullet orders to help ensure you safely receive the package.

FAQ

When can I expect to receive a response to my email or phone call?

Most emails or phone calls will receive a friendly reply within 24 hours, and often within just a few hours.  However, sometimes we get sucked into the glorious nebula of designing and building products.  Or need to do laundry, shop for groceries, or sleep.  We appreciate your patience as we balance the demands of our intergalactic commitments, and try to enjoy time off on the weekends.  Please don't be upset if an email you sent on Friday evening doesn't get returned until Monday or Tuesday morning.

Do you have Silver Bullets in stock?

Please check the FAQ tab on the Silver Bullet product pages for up-to-date information about stock, production status, and shipping dates.

How much will it cost to ship my order overseas?

Our shopping cart has a shipping calculator that is configured to estimate shipping to anywhere in the world.  All you have to do is add a product to the cart and then click the cart icon in the upper right corner of your browser.  At that point you can select your country, province, and enter your postal code.  A list of available shipping options will be displayed after you click Calculate Shipping.  As mentioned above, international customers are responsible for paying all import duties and taxes for their respective countries.

What shipping option do you recommend for European customers?

If you are ordering a Silver Bullet or 500 series module, we highly recommend that you select DHL Express shipping.  DHL acts as the customs broker and offers exceptionally quick door-to-door service.  We've been seeing packages arrive in the UK in 4-5 days.  There is no hand off with local postal services like there is with USPS so you will know where your package is every minute of the day by accessing the tracking information. They will require you to pay all customs and import taxes before delivering the package to your door.

My country charges high import taxes.  Can you adjust the customs value to help me out?

Sorry, but no.  As a rule, we declare the actual purchase price on all customs forms.  Defrauding a foreign government is not a wise business move.

Do you accept wire transfers, ACH payments, or Paypal as forms of payment?

We only accept payment through our online store using major credit and debit cards at this time.

How are you guys able to sell products of this quality level at these impossibly affordable prices?

We simply reject the notion that a middleman like a dealer or distributor needs to come between the guy that designs and builds the gear and the artist that uses it.  By adopting a direct sales model we have been able to pass that savings onto our customers.  Do you really want to pay 30% more for your gear?  All we ask in return is that you make lots of great music and help spread the word about our company and products.

Can I have my favorite pro audio dealer get me a Silver Bullet?

Sure, if you want to pay more money for our products.  See the question above.  Our pricing model does not allow for typical dealer margins.  Really.  If you'd like to order 10 Silver Bullets we'd be happy to give you a sweet discount though.

I just bought a used unit from some dude online.  Can I have the seller send it to you first to check out?

As a policy, we decline to get in the middle of third party transactions on used gear.  If you receive the unit and it requires repair please contact us and we can go over service options.  

What in the bloody galaxy is Void Corp?

Void Corp is a character in the Louder Than Liftoff universe.  Some of our products are made as limited edition Void Corp versions with a black aesthetic.  Click the link for more info.

It would be really cool if you guys had t-shirts.  Can you make me one?

Yes.

I have a question that you didn't answer here.  Where can I get more info?
