Q. How can I pay for my Sony purchase?

A. We accept the following payments methods:

• Credit card, including Mastercard, VISA, American Express, JCB, Discover
• PIN-less debit cards
• PayPal
• Apple Pay and Google Pay

For single item purchases, we offer Express Pay options for Google Pay and Apple pay (please note that store credit cannot be used on Express Pay)

For all payment options, your form of payment will be charged at the time your item ships.

Q. Do you offer gift cards?

A. Currently we do not offer gift cards but check back soon! We hope to add gift card options in the near future.

Q. Do you have a gift receipt option?

A. We offer a gift option during checkout. By clicking “this is a gift” in the cart, this allows you to customize a message up to 100 characters. This message will appear on the packing slip included in the shipped box and the price will be left off entirely.

Q. What does pre-order mean?

A. We accept advanced orders for several newly announced Products. This allows you to reserve an item before stock is available in the U.S. These items will have a “Pre-order” button. Simply click the “Pre-order” button and continue through the checkout process. While your payment method will be authorized for the amount, your payment method will not be charged any amount until your new item ships.

Q. When does my credit card get charged?

A. At the time you place your order, we will not charge your card but just authorize your credit card (or any method of payment used) for the total amount (including tax & other charges). Once your item is ready to ship, your payment method will be charged.

Q. What is a pre-authorization?

A. A pre-authorization hold simply confirms that funds are available on your credit or debit card. As soon as we can confirm that funds are available, we release the hold, returning it to your bank. Please keep in mind that depending upon your bank's timeframe, the funds can re-appear immediately or require up to an entire billing cycle prior to release. Only once your item is ready to ship, will we place the actual charge on your form of payment.

For Pre-orders, you might see a double pre-authorization as often your bank’s initial hold has expired, so we need to pre-authorize again.

If you'd like to find out more about the timeframe you can expect, we recommend contacting your bank or credit card company for details.

Q. Where can I see the status of my order?

A. To view your order status, please click here. Be sure to have your order number along with the email address you used when placing your order.

If you have an account, you can find your order history in the Account Area after logging in.

If you’re having trouble tracking down any of the above info or need further assistance, please call or text us at 1-800-249-SONY (7669) or via chat from the Website (electronics.sony.com).

Q. Can I use a pre-paid credit card to place my order online?

A. We do accept prepaid credit cards, however, we recommend using a credit card with a credit line, a debit card that is linked to a financial institution, or your PayPal account for the most efficient shopping experience. Often pre-paid card purchases have trouble successfully going through for a variety of reasons.

If you decide to use your prepaid credit card, while we cannot guarantee the card will be accepted, we can offer a few tips. Please read the terms and conditions of the prepaid credit card before using it at the Sony Store. Please note, it is best to register your card with your name and billing address prior to purchasing online. Please make sure the value on the card can cover the entire order total. If there is a pending authorization on your prepaid card and your order is cancelled for any reason, it may take up to 30 days for the authorization to clear. The amount of time is dependent upon the issuing bank. You will need to keep the card throughout the entire process in case an amount is due or a refund needs to be credited. Please note, some prepaid cards do not accept refunds, meaning we will be unable to credit the original payment.

Q. Where can I order accessories or parts that are no longer available on Sony's online store?

A. Replacement parts and accessories can be ordered from our authorized parts distributor:

Q. What if the Sony Authorized Retailer does not have the Product in stock or has limited quantities of the Product?

A. We can only accept screen shots or links to Sony Authorized Retailers that show that an item is in stock. Sometimes retailers will advertise a Product in ads and on their websites as having limited quantities in stock. If the Product is out of stock or the retailer has advertised as limited quantities of a Product, it is not eligible for price matching. Likewise, if we have a Product that is advertised as being limited in quantity it will not be eligible for price matching.

Q. How does price match apply to sales tax?

A. Price matching is only applicable to the pre-tax price difference amount. We are unable to calculate sales tax differences or override sale tax for price match purposes.

Q. How does your price match policy apply to pre-orders?

A. If the price of a pre-order product is less at the time of your item is ready to ship, you will be charged the lower price.

Q. Do you price match for liquidation or going out of business sales?

A. Products in a liquidation or going out of business sale are clearance Products, which are ineligible and excluded from price matching.

Q. How can I see the latest promotions and Product launches?

A. For an easy view of our latest promotions such as sales and bundles, visit any category and filter by “Bundle Savings” and/or “On Sale”.

Q. How can I order a Product that is not currently available?

A. Some new Products may be available for Pre-order. This allows you to place an advanced order and be one of the first to receive it when stock is available in the U.S. Look for the “Pre-order” button on any qualifying Product.

Some Products may also be available for backorder, you will be able to see they are not immediately available as the Estimated Delivery Date range will show further out than the standard 2-3 days, and for TVs 51+” the Estimated ship date will show further out than today (tomorrow if after 2pm EST).

For other Products that are not available, look for the “email me when available” option on the Product listing. Here you can sign up to be notified when the Product becomes available for purchase on our website.

Q. Will my credit card be charged for pre-orders?

A. Pre-orders will have a pre-authorization hold placed on your credit card (or other form of payment) at the time your order is placed. If the pre-authorization hold has expired when your Product is ready to ship, we will pre-authorize your credit card again prior to shipment. Your form of payment will only be charged when your order is ready to be shipped. If you happen to cancel your credit card or your credit card expires before your order has shipped, be sure to Contact Us.

Q. I live in Colorado and I see a retail delivery fee on my Order Confirmation Email, what is this?

A. Effective July 1, 2022, the state of Colorado imposed a retail delivery fee on all deliveries by motor vehicle to a location in Colorado with at least one (1) item of tangible personal property subject to state sales or use tax. Deliveries include when any taxable goods are mailed, shipped, or otherwise delivered by motor vehicle to a purchaser in Colorado. The fee (27 cents July 2022 – June 2023; 28 cents July 2023 – June 2024, future fees subject to the state law) is indicated on the purchase receipt as “retail delivery fee”. Please note: In the event the purchase is returned to Sony, the retail delivery fee will not be refunded because, per the state law, the retail delivery fee is forwarded to Colorado and its purpose is to support the environmental impact of deliveries, which is not undone by a return of the purchase.
