Tracking is emailed once your order ships. If an order is sent in multiple packages, you will receive tracking information for each package.
Email info@physicalmediavault.com immediately with your name and order number. We will do our best to update it, but changes cannot be guaranteed once the order has been packed or shipped.
No. If an order contains an in-stock or factory-direct product and a pre-order product, the items will ship separately. In-stock products ship right away, factory-direct products ship according to their normal fulfillment time, and pre-order products ship when they are released and become available. Separate tracking will be provided for each shipment.
We will email you with an estimated restock date. If a regular item cannot be restocked within 2 weeks, the unavailable item will be refunded. If a distributor limits a pre-order allocation, orders are filled in the order received; any order we cannot fill will be fully refunded.

Orders affected by limited allocations are filled in the order received. If we cannot fill your pre-order, it will be fully refunded.
Pre-orders follow the same return policy as other products. Returns are accepted only for an approved damaged or incorrect item. Delays or release-date changes are not eligible reasons for a refund.
