Why am I being charged sales tax?
Effective October 1, 2018, Hammacher Schlemmer began collecting sales tax for all states that have sales tax. The sales tax calculated during checkout is an estimate and may vary when your order is processed. Please note that all companies that sell over the Internet are similarly required to collect sales tax. Details on tax reporting can be found on the websites of your respective taxing authorities.

What does it mean if an item is on backorder and has an expected ship date?
A backorder is a product that is not currently available to ship but is expected to become available for shipment soon. When placing your order, we will indicate if your selected color and size are on backorder (indicated by the display of a future expected ship date). Be sure to take note of the expected ship date located in your Order Confirmation email. Backorder ship dates are approximate and can change. We'll email you with any date changes if your item will not arrive by the expected ship date.

What does "Item Is No Longer Available" mean? Will you be getting more of the item?
Items that are sold through with no incoming purchase orders will display the message "Item Is No Longer Available". There are times where we may purchase additional inventory of that item. Please check back periodically at www.hammacher.com for our full range of available products. We are constantly updating our inventory and introducing new products.

When will I be charged for my order?
We will obtain authorization for credit card charges and collect the funds at order acceptance. This applies for all purchases you make, including subscriptions and the Hammacher Rewards program. If an item is not in stock when you place your order, the charges will be collected as a pre-payment. If we are unable to secure authorization, you will be contacted by a Hammacher Schlemmer customer care specialist.

My order authorized for one amount but the actual charge was different.
When an order is placed, the sales tax calculated during checkout is an estimate and may vary when your order is processed.

I am being billed $14.95 per month, why?
Hammacher Rewards is our subscription-based program that allows you to receive a rebate on shipping from over 1,000 retailers around the country, including Hammacher Schlemmer.

Can I make payments on my order?
We currently do not offer installment or payment plans.

What should I do if my discount code doesn't work when placing an order?
If your promotional code is not accepted on the website, it may be that you do not meet the requirements for the code, or that the code has expired. Please call 1-800-321-1484 if you have questions about a promotional code that is not working.

I found a promotional code online, but when I used it to place my order, it did not apply.
Coupons and promo codes acquired through 3rd party sites, such as Retail Me Not, or external channels not approved by Hammacher Schlemmer may not be redeemable as these offers may be expired, are not stackable, or otherwise are invalid. Please sign up for email/text alerts or refer to our website for the most up-to-date information on discounts, sales events, and special offers.

Do promotional codes expire, and how can I tell if it's still good?
Promotional codes offered by Hammacher Schlemmer will be advertised with an expiration date. If you have questions about your promotion code, please call customer care at 1-800-21-1484.

Can I use multiple promotion codes on one order?
Only one promotional code per order is accepted as our promotional codes are not stackable.

I signed up for text messages but did not receive my promo code.
Please call our customer care team at 1-800-321-1484 for assistance if you did not receive your promotional code.

I signed up for Hammacher Rewards and was supposed to get free shipping. Why does my order still show shipping charges?
Hammacher Rewards is a subscription-based shipping rebate program. Shipping is not automatically taken off the order. In order to receive the rebate, you must be a member of Hammacher Rewards and you have to submit a claim to be reimbursed for shipping charges.

Do you price match?
We do not price match with our competitors pricing due to our Lifetime Guarantee, allowing us to stand behind our products indefinitely. However, we will match our own prices, as shown in the catalog or website within 30 days of the original purchase date.

Every item comes with our Lifetime Guarantee of complete satisfaction, a guarantee virtually unmatched in our industry.

Do you ship internationally?
Hammacher Schlemmer only services the United States (including APO/FPO and U.S. territories), as well as Canada. Due to various shipping restrictions and country compliance laws, we do not service areas outside of the United States and Canada. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Can I have an order shipped to an APO/FPO address?
Deliveries for our customers in the armed services will be shipped parcel post. Due to the long transit time required to reach APO/FPO destinations, we strongly recommend an upgrade to three business day delivery. This is especially necessary during the peak holiday shipping seasons. Even with expedited delivery, please expect slightly longer delivery times.

Is shipping guaranteed?
Due to the constantly evolving situation within the global supply chain network, we are unable to guarantee shipping dates and timeframes. Shipping timeframes are an estimate and although most orders are delivered within the quoted timeframe, shipping delays do happen and are out of our control.

How do you ship?
Your shipment will arrive via FedEx, UPS, or USPS. We do not require a signature for delivery. The carrier may leave the package if they feel it is safe in locations such as patio, garage, or an exterior door.

Can I use a promotional code when purchasing a gift certificate?
Promotional codes cannot be used when purchasing a gift certificate. You may, however, use a promotional code when purchasing a gift certificate and a physical item; the promotional code's discount will only be subtracted from the physical item.

How do I check the balance of a gift certificate?
Please call 1-800-321-1484.

Do gift certificates expire?
Our gift certificates do not expire and can only be redeemed by the recipient.

What if my gift certificate didn't apply when I placed my order?
Please call 1-800-321-1484 and our customer care team will happily research and resolve the issue.

What is covered under your Lifetime Guarantee?
Items that we sell are guaranteed for their normal life under standard non-commercial use. Please note that some items may have limitations to the Lifetime Guarantee. All customers must provide proof of purchase. These items will state “Special conditions and guarantee limitations apply” in the product story of the item on the website.

If your packing slip contains a pre-printed return shipping label you may use that to return your merchandise. Simply apply the return label over the original shipping label, and tender to your postal carrier.

Do I have to pay the price difference if the price changed on my item?
If you are exchanging an item for the same item/sku, and it is within 6 months, you will not be responsible for any price differences. If you exchange your item for the same item/sku, and it is outside of a year, you will be responsible for any changes in cost.

How do I know if you received my return?
We recommend that keep the return tracking number for the item and check it periodically. Please note that returned items arrive on a large pallet with other returns. It can take us 2-3 weeks to receive in, open and work the returned items on the pallet.

Please allow two to three weeks for processing returns and exchanges from when we receive the return. Returns after the Holiday Season may require longer processing times.
