• Will I have to pay taxes on my order?

  We are required by law to charge tax on orders shipped to California and Kentucky. The rates are as follow:

  • California: 9.25% of the order total before shipping
  • Kentucky: 6.00% of the order total before shipping

  No tax is charged on orders shipped outside of these two states.

• Can you ship to an address different than my billing address?

  We can ship to a different address only if it is approved by your credit card company click here for instructions.

• How long will it take to receive my order?

  Products that are in stock are generally shipped within 1–3 business days, while backorder products can take much longer. To that time, you need to add the package transit time with the carrier (UPS or USPS), which is indicated when you select the shipping method.

  For example, if you order a product that is in stock and choose to have it shipped via UPS ground (2–5 business days), your order will generally take 3–8 business days to arrive to your door.

• How can I order from your website?

  When you are on the page of a product that you would like to buy, simply click on the "add to cart" button to add it to your shopping cart. You can then go browse for other products and get back to your shopping cart at anytime by clicking on the "view cart" link on the top left corner of the site.

  Once you are ready to checkout, simply click on the checkout button on your shopping cart. You will then enter the checkout process, which is made of four steps:

  1. Log in/register: you will be asked to log in to your existing Sonic Electronix account or to create one if you don't already have one. Having an account with us will allow you to easily keep track of your orders and support requests with us.
  2. Enter addresses: you will be asked to enter the billing and shipping addresses for your order on that step. The address entered in your profile will be pre-loaded, so you will not have to type it again.
  3. Enter shipping/payment information: you will be asked to choose a shipping method and a payment method for your order. You may also enter your car on that page. That will let us know which wiring harness and installation kit to include with your order if they are included for free.
  4. Confirm: you will be able to review your order on that page. If everything is correct, you may submit it and we will process it as soon as possible.

  You can monitor your order status in your user account area. Once the order has been shipped, a link will be available for you to track it on the carrier's website.
