How do your pre-orders work, exactly?

When you see a pre-order item you want, add it to your cart. This is the best way to secure your copy, as many of these releases are limited editions, or we only order what our customers have pre-ordered. Don’t miss out. Because some vendors are unreliable, occasionally (non-Projekt label) pre-order titles arrive after the estimated date listed on the page. This is beyond our control, but we will keep you informed of the progress. You will receive an email when your item arrives and ships.

If you place other items in your cart with a pre-order, they will ship with the pre-order title. If you want those items to ship now, it is best to place a separate order for them.

What if something I want is out of stock?

When an item is out of stock, the product page will include red text that says Out of Stock along with a message on when we expect it back. We do not backorder; if we are out of something please try reordering again at a later date. Also, if you like, you can email: store @ projekt.com, and we will drop you a line when the title is back in stock.

What is your Return Policy?

All sales are considered final. Defective items can be exchanged for an identical item within 30 days of purchase. In such cases, we will replace the defective item for a non-defective version of the exact same item.

If something is missing from your order, please let us know immediately (believe it or not, some people wait 8 months to tell us that something was missing).

Please contact us before attempting a return to receive a Return Authorization. We will not accept any unauthorized returns or exchanges. The customer must pay for the returned item’s shipping costs – Projekt will pay for the replacement item’s shipping cost. When returning an item, please include a copy of any correspondence with us and please be sure to include your full name and address on your correspondence.

Is the Projekt website secure?

Yes. All online transactions are processed by PayPal or authorize.net, using industry leading security. PayPal automatically encrypts your confidential information in transit from your computer using the Secure Sockets Layer protocol (SSL) with an encryption key length of 128-bits (the highest level commercially available). Before you even register or log in to the PayPal site, their server checks that you’re using an approved browser – one that uses SSL 3.0 or higher. Read more at the PayPal site. Authorize.Net dedicates significant resources toward a strong infrastructure, and adheres to both strict internal security policies and industry security initiatives., With Authorize.Net, you can be confident your data is secure. Authorize.Net utilize industry-leading technologies and protocols, such as 128-bit Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and are compliant with a number of government and industry security initiatives. Read more at authorize.net.

What is the status with the Projekt website SSL Certificate?

The Projekt site runs under a secure certificate. I kind of feel it is not necessary, as the credit card processing happens off-site. I feel like SSL is a strong-arm tactic to make money for the seller of the SSL, but since it makes customers feel more secure, we have one anyway.

I am an overseas customer, are there special instructions for me?

Yes, there are. Read the Foreign Customer Help section of our shipping page.

Can I pay you with a Money Order?

Yes, you can. Here are instructions:
1) Add the items you want to your cart
2) Go through the checkout process, to get the total (with postage + tax). Make sure you click the “Place Order” button on the Checkout Page. This adds your order to our back-end ordering system.
3) You are taken to Paypal. Do nothing there.
4) Click back to the checkout page, and print two copies of your order (one for you / one for us).
5) Please make your money order out to INDUSTRY8 LLC
6) Mail your money order (and a copy of your order) to:
      ALTERNATIVE MUSIC MAIL ORDER & RETAIL
      Projekt c/o D.F.
      732 South 4th Street  
      Philadelphia, PA 19147
7) Hitting “Place Order” adds your order to our system, and we will set the CDs aside for you. If you send a money order without following the instructions above, your CDs might be out-of-stock by the time the Money Order arrives at Projekt. Please follow the instructions.
8) If we don’t receive your Money Order within 2 weeks of your order being placed, your CDs will be returned to inventory and might not be available when your Money Order arrives. Please be sure to mail that Money Order promptly!

I just got my latest order and I was surprised to see that 3 out of the 4 cd’s I ordered were open. I have never seen a new one that was not shrinkwrapped. I’m just wondering what’s up with this?

Shea replies: “Not to worry, some of the cds come to us un-shrinkwrapped. Many from foreign labels come to us without jewel cases to save on postage, and when they arrive I take the parts and ‘make’ the cd for you. We don’t shrinkwrap them after that, because it would just make more junk to fill the landfill. Also, there are just too many of them, and frankly, the shrinkwrapper gives off these really nasty fumes that make me a little sick to the stomach 🙂 Occasionaly, a shrinkwrapped cd has a cracked jewel case, and I’ll open it up and replace it. That way, you end up with a unshrinkwrapped unbroken jewel case instead of a shrinkwrapped broken case. I can assure you that all of our cds are new; we do not sell used merchandise. Enjoy the music!”

Thanks. I hope that helped. If not, email store @ projekt.com and Shea will get your questions answered.
