If you ordered products for delivery to a shipping address outside the United States, you will be responsible for any and all import taxes, tariffs and duties which may be levied by your Customs or Government or Other Authority upon any parcel we send to you. Please note: taxes/duties are calculated based on the original retail price of the items in your order and does not include any discounts or promotions.

Please check your Spam box — 99% of the time, you will find it there. It’s also possible that you entered the wrong email address. If you still have problems, go back to the store, navigate to the “Contact Us” page, and send us an email.
How do I contact customer service?

Pre-Order Merchandise
Pre-release ordering is available for select titles. These items will show a "Pre-Order" button when you add them to your cart. The release date of your items will be shown on both the details page and in the cart. We make every effort to ship pre-order products to arrive at US addresses on or before street date, but cannot guarantee a delivery date.
In most cases, when you place a pre-order, we will validate and authorize your credit card, which will show up on your bank statement. However, your card will not actually be charged until the product ships. If you see an authorization charge, that money has not been taken out of your account yet. Some pre-orders are charged at time of purchase.
Please be aware that you will need to keep an available balance to cover your purchase until the time of release, which in some cases can be many weeks. Should we not be able to obtain a valid reauthorization on a weekly basis, your order will be cancelled and you will be notified. If you still want the order after receiving a cancelation notification, you will need to place your order again with an available balance if the product is still available. Please note that we will not be able to reinstate your original order after it is canceled. If you would like to avoid this reauthorization process, we suggest you use PayPal as your method of payment.
If you are paying for the pre-order with PayPal, we are required by PayPal to charge your account right away.
If you live in the U.S. and would like to receive your music on or about release date, please place your order no later than 10 days before the scheduled release date. International orders will not arrive by the US release date and may take an additional 3-4 weeks to get to you. International shipments including Canada and Mexico are sent by the United States Postal Service Economy and may be held by your local Customs Authority for an additional 10-14 days depending upon the customs laws in your country. Therefore, it is best to allow 4-5 weeks for delivery.
Please be aware that release dates are subject to change.
What forms of payment do you accept?
Please note that all prices listed in our store are in US Dollars.
We accept PayPal, Visa, MasterCard and American Express in most countries. We are not accepting cash, checks or money orders at this time. In most cases, your credit card will not be charged until your order actually ships. If you are paying with PayPal, you will be charged at the time of purchase.
PLEASE NOTE: Mexico and Peru, we only accept Paypal at this time, no credit cards.
Once your order is placed, our system checks with your credit card company to confirm funds are available, this is an authorization only, not a charge. Authorizations will be removed in approximately 3-5 days depending on your financial institution. You will only be charged once your order ships
If you use a debit card to pay for your order, please keep in mind that most items are billed when shipped and funds must be available in your account at that time.
We are very sorry but we do not accept Visa, MasterCard or American Express Gift cards.
Is it safe to use my credit card?
Safeguarding your privacy and confidentiality is of the utmost importance to us. Our site uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) which encrypts your data while it is being transferred over the Internet. We also use the latest encryption technologies to protect the security of your credit card and password information while we are processing your order.
How will the transaction show on my credit card statement?
The transaction will show as "Warner Music Group, New York NY."
