Frequently
Asked Questions
#1.
Does Peak Audio sell only expensive high-end equipment?
No,
certainly not! One thing we spend a great deal of time doing
is discovering worthwhile inexpensive audio equipment. In
many ways this is much more satisfying for us than finding
out that an expensive piece is in fact good. We expect that!
And
please remember, our prices are extremely competitive.
We cover
the full spectrum of taste and pocketbook, from entry-level
to "I don't believe it!"
#2.
What warranty does Peak Audio offer on new equipment?
We honour
the full manufacturer's warranty for the item in question,
which varies by make, of course. However, unlike virtually
everyone else, we carry out the service on our own premises
in our own service department, except for unusual cases. That
means no shipping away with the possibility of damage or haunting
warranty depots trying to get them to do something
for you. Peak Audio looks after you. We will also honour warranty
service on brand items of equipment we sell that you bought
elsewhere, provided it has been purchased from an authorized
Canadian dealer and you have a valid receipt.
#3.
What about service after warranty?
We service
all makes and models of audio and video equipment, and offer
a 60 day guarantee on our work as well. Check out our Service
page for the details.
#4.
What is Peak Audio's return policy?
If you
return an item as unsatisfactory to your needs within 7 days
of purchase, we will, with some conditions, credit the full
cost towards an item of equal or greater value.
What
are the conditions? The item must be working normally
with no obvious physical damage or blemishes, and packed in
its original carton with all packing materials and accessories
present. In addition, we expect the carton itself to have
been opened reasonably -- torn off cardboard flaps or other
damage mean we will deduct the cost of a new shipping carton
from your credit!
Finally,
special-order items are not included in our return for credit
policy.
#5.
What about wheelchair accessability to the store itself?
We have
a special wheelchair ramp at the side of the building.
#6.
What is Peak Audio's E-mail policy?
We will
gladly reply to requests for pricing details for the products
we carry. Please mention specific models if you can -- we
cannot send out vast lists.
We will not respond to e-mail enquiries for Paradigm, Paradigm Reference,
Paradigm
Signature, Anthem, Bryston or Simaudio Moon. These products are
specifically not allowed to be sold by mailorder or Internet, and we
cannot sell them to you if you are outside our dealer geographic
area. Beware of dealers who profess to be able to do otherwise.
Also, please don't expect us to
get into detailed philosophical discussions on the benefits
of this or that. We simply don't have the time to respond
in writing, although we will try our best to give reasonable
short answers. For more detail, give us a call instead. Better
yet, pay us a visit. A lot of people have done both, and we
welcome such enquiries.

#7.
Are there any special features that Peak Audio can offer you?
We will, under the right
circumstances, allow you to audition a piece of equipment
at home before purchase, to let you discover if the product
is right for you.
We will
require at least a credit card guarantee, and if the item
in question is a giant pair of speakers or something, bring
a friend or two and a suitable vehicle! Because free delivery
is not included in this service!
Obviously,
we expect you to look after our goods and return them in the
best of condition if they are not suitable. The advantages
of trying out an item are obvious, and we merely request you
do not take advantage of our trust. Peak Audio wants to help
its customers to make the right choice.
#8.
Does Peak Audio do installations?
Definitely!
One of our staff, Joe Posiak, has installed numerous very
complicated multi-room systems. He has worked with architects
and owners alike, and has a great deal of experience in the
field. If you have a system that needs to be professionally
installed, give Joe a call.
