Making A Purchase

The majority of styli are now no longer available as original equipment and unless stated 'Original', the replacement styli supplied are precision manufactured in Switzerland or Japan to high quality standards that ensure performance closely matches original as detailed. Many of these styli were fitted to universal cartridge types commonly used by various manufacturers of turntables and record players. Stylus part numbers and colours described are original and these may vary on supply according to supplier package labelling and manufacturer rationalisation for limited production runs. The styli shown are only suitable for the original cartridge fitted by the manufacturer of the player and may not be compatible if the cartridge has been replaced at some time. Please check that the stylus shape shown in the image is the same as the one fitted before ordering. If in doubt then please email a photo of the stylus required for identification.

Because of Dealer Agreements please note, it may not be possible to process some cartridge orders to Worldwide destinations and certain products are only available for shipping within the UK and EEC.

When buying cartridges at the special Exchange price for delivery in the UK the exchange item must be returned within 7 days of receipt and for EU 14 days of receipt of the new cartridge ordered. If the exchange items are not received within 14 days then we will contact you again to clarify your intentions with a view to charging the difference in price to your credit or debit card. Exchange returns to Mantra Audio should be sent Tracked and Signed to cover insurance in case of loss.

Cartridges are only available at the Exchange price for delivery in the UK & Europe and NOT Worldwide.

Making a purchase could not be easier. Just browse our store, and add any items that you wish to buy into the shopping basket. After you have finished your selection, click on 'Checkout' and you will be asked for a few details that we need to be able to complete the order.

We accept card payments by Visa and MasterCard. Products are priced in GB Pounds and if you are shopping from a country other than the UK, place your order and your card company will convert the transaction to your own currency at commercial rates on the date of transaction.

The currency converter link in the left sidebar Ordering & Prices - Exchange Rate can be used to give an indication of the price of goods purchased in GB Pounds in another currency. The currency converter is only an indicator and should not be relied upon to give an exact conversion as rates change daily and will vary with actual rates applied by credit card companies on the date of transaction. We recommend that you complete the order first so that shipping charges are included to give an indication of the total for currency conversion before your order is confirmed and committed.

We do not charge for any item until it is ready to ship. Backordered items are not charged until they are shipped. If you do not wish to pay online, we can take your order by telephone. UK customers can still pay by a cheque from a UK bank or Postal Order sent with an order to our business address.

If you have made a mistake in your order and cannot correct it in the shopping cart, contact us and we will correct the mistake.

When confirmation of your order is received, this is to indicate that we have received your order. It does not indicate that a contract exists between us. We will indicate acceptance of your order, and hence a contract between us, when we send you the items ordered complete with a receipted invoice. We have included this term to protect us in the case that a mistake has been made in pricing, we have inadvertently under-priced goods, or we are no longer able to supply a particular product for some reason. In the case of a change of price, we will always contact you first to ensure that the price is acceptable.
