Jaguar Customer Service

Shipping

Jaguar ships some products to virtually any address around the world. However, several manufacturers do not allow us to ship their products outside the US. The shipping regions allowed for each product are shown at the top of the product page. We do everything we can to get your order to you as quickly as possible but feel free to contact us for an estimated shipping date when you’re ready to order.

You’ll receive a tracking notification email when your product ships (check your junk mail if you don’t see it). Please keep an eye on your tracking and contact us right away if your shipment is late.

Note: Jaguar recommends against shipping valuable packages to a shipper location for pickup. Packages requested to be held at pickup locations are insured only until delivery to that location is recorded in the tracking; theft of the package after this delivery will be the responsibility of the buyer.

International shipments are sometimes not trackable after crossing the US border (try to track on your country’s postal site) and can involve delays as long as several weeks with no ability for us to investigate the delay. Customers are responsible to pay any foreign taxes or Customs/import fees.

Payments

Jaguar accepts payment with PayPal, Credit/Debit Card, Money Order, Personal Check, Bank Check, Bank Wire, and ACH (eCheck from US-only). Personal checks typically require 5 business days to clear the bank. Some payment types are not allowed for certain products or countries.

PayPal and Credit/Debit Card companies charge a 2.9% fee that they will not refund, so please keep this in mind when using these payment methods.

When you select Money Order, Check, or Bank Wire, after submitting the order the mailing address and/or bank information will appear in the checkout window as you submit the order and you’ll also receive an email notification with the same information.

Sale and Discount Terms

Product Inventory

Jaguar stocks most products that sell regularly but we offer hundreds of products. In the case of items requiring extensive storage space, not in regular demand, or are extremely expensive, these are special-ordered and are often drop-shipped directly by the manufacturer.

Regardless of whether the product is kept in inventory, Jaguar is always working to get your products to you as quickly as possible and will keep you informed on the current status of your order. However, many products can have lead times or supply delays, so please contact us just before placing your order if immediate delivery is important for you.

Trial Periods

All products must be returned in new condition and with all original packaging, accessories, and instructions.
The Trial Period begins the day the package is delivered.
Trial Periods apply only to new products purchased at the full retail price.
The Trial Period Length is shown at the top of each product page; it will say “Exchange” if the trial is eligible for Exchange, and “NA” if there is no Trial.
Most Jaguar products require a certain number of Burn-In hours to reach their full sonic potential and sometimes don’t sound very good before they’re fully burned-in. The top of each product page also shows the approximate number of burn-in hours. Inadequate burn-in is the most common reason for returns we receive, so please take burn-in very seriously and be patient.
Jaguar reserves the right to limit the number of products purchased on trial at the same time. This is not a frequent issue but if it is we’ll contact you as we process your order.
Products with an (Exchange) Trial cannot be exchanged for used/demo or discounted products.

Jaguar Headquarters

Jaguar is headquartered in Downtown Bellevue, WA (approximately 7 miles from Downtown Seattle). Local clients often call us to ask if we have a retail storefront open to the public for listening sessions. As our online business has evolved and grown, meeting with potential clients for listening sessions became very difficult given our staffing level. At the moment, the Jaguar Listening Space is used predominantly for shooting product videos, occasional parties, and inventory storage.

However, our doors are open almost every day to local clients for order pick-up. Nearly all our products are offered with an extensive in-home trial period, which allows you to fully burn-in the component, work with it in your own system, and feel confident the product is everything you hoped it would be.

Returns and RMAs

If you don’t absolutely love a product you ordered, please call or email us. Sometimes with just a quick discussion about your system and what you’re experiencing, we can solve the problem. There is no judgment if you return an item but we certainly appreciate you being open-minded, patient, and willing to talk through your concerns with us. We don’t want you to be stuck with something that’s not working for you.

When returning an item, send an email to sales@jaguaraudio.com for an RMA# and to arrange the details. All returns must be fully insured and shipped with a delivery signature confirmation.
Return items must be postmarked within 5 business days (1 week) after the Trial Period ends and the package must be sent with a delivery signature confirmation.
Send us an email with your tracking # as soon as the package ships.
Large items are often shipped via Freight and sometimes on a pallet. To avoid damage, these items must be returned in exactly the same manner as received (freight shipping).
Return Policies (Noted on the Product Page)
45-Day Trial (Minus expenses described above.)
90-Days Exchange
NA (Trial Period not available on a few products.)

Refunds

Refund time is dependent on the transit time to receive your package and it usually takes us about 3-5 days to process your return once we receive it. Once we submit the refund request to the payment processor it can take up to 5 additional business days for the funds to reach your account. We do our best to process refunds as quickly as possible.

We do not charge a restocking fee for items eligible for return. However, unrecoverable costs for Shipping, Insurance, and Payment Fees are deducted from the refund.

Trades

At Jaguar, we encourage our clients to progress through their audiophile journey with us. A big part of that is to offer an opportunity for you to trade back your Jaguar purchases when you’re ready to try something new.
Only items purchased from Jaguar are eligible for trade.
Trade items must be in perfect working condition.
Only one trade item is allowed per transaction.
Original costs to Jaguar for shipping and insurance are subtracted from the total credit.
Fuses, bulk cable, and non-resaleable items are not eligible for trade.
