You have ordered a product and the price has changed?
DO NOT BE TROUBLED. Your booking price is confirmed and any increase will not affect your order.
Unfortunatelly as soon as the product is no longer available directly from the manufacturer we have to order extra quantities by local distributors. This has as result an increase in the price of the product.
This also affects products which are instock but come from different wholesale channels. As soon as our low price stock is depleted the product will be advertised with the higher price.
Tips for customers
Always pre order close to the initial marketing date of the product to get the best price possible.
Extreme cases of price changes
Please note in rare occasions a price increase may be due to the following reasons.
- Increase of price by the manufacturers
- Dramatic change between the currency exchange rates USD to Euro
In the above extreme cases the valid price will be the new price even if you have booked it at a lower one.

Come to the light...with a few troubleshooting suggestions that have worked for us in the past! Please be sure to perform the below suggestions while the piece is off.
Fresh batteries! It's rare, but sometimes the batteries included in the package may be dead on arrival.
Clean the Connections! Sometimes clear glossy paint can interfere with the electrical current. Examine and clean the connections by lightly applying some rubbing alcohol with a Q-tip and / or cleaning wipe.
Turn it on! Leave it on! After cleaning, reassemble your piece and turn it on, and leave it on for 10-20 minutes...sometimes it just needs time.
If this doesnt work please contact us and we will contact the manufacturer for a suitable solution.
Give us the low down of what happened, and what part / piece you think you may need to remedy the issue / break.
