The delivery charge for your order is the responsibility of the customer unless explicitly stated otherwise.

A1 Sound may, at its discretion, offer free delivery on certain eligible items. These items will be clearly marked, and the offer will be subject to specific terms and conditions that are available at the time of the promotion. Please be aware that the availability of free delivery is subject to change and may vary from time to time.
**4. Insurance Option**
During the delivery period, A1 Sound does not accept liability for any damages or losses that may occur. However, to provide an added layer of protection and peace of mind, we offer customers the option to purchase insurance at the checkout. This insurance coverage is designed to safeguard your order against potential damage or loss during transit. The insurance cost will be clearly indicated during the checkout process, and customers can choose to opt-in for this service at their discretion.
