Finance on Hi-Fi and Headphones

0% Finance

We offer 0% finance (interest free credit) on orders over a certain value, allowing you to spread the cost of your new hi-fi, speakers, headphones or home cinema purchase rather than paying in full upfront. We offer two options for finance:

 

Paypal Finance

Paypal finance is available on orders over £99 and can be spread over 4 months. This is a no deposit option, ideal for lower value orders. If you checkout and select "Paypal" the option for Paypal Credit should show when you reach paypal if you are eligible.

 

Novuna 0% Finance

0% finance with Novuna (part of Hitachi) is available on orders over £500 and is a fixed term loan agreement allowing you to spread payments over a 6~48 month term. You can choose to pay an upfront deposit between 10% and 50%, which in turn will adjust the value of monthly repayments. The more you spend, the longer term the finance can be spread over. The terms available for 0% finance are:

 

06 Months - orders £500 and over
12 Months - orders £1000 and over
18 Months - orders £1500 and over

Select "Finance" and you will be diverted to the finance application which only takes a moment to complete. The maximum loan amount with Novuna is £25k. You can order any single item or combination of items (hi-fi separates, speakers, headphones, home cinema, etc) on 0% finance, providing your order is over £500.

Your application will be assessed based on eligibility, credit history and affordability and Novuna will let you know the outcome in just a few seconds. A "hard" credit check is made which is recorded on your credit file. Once approved, Novuna will let you know who the lender is and provide you with their contact details. You then just need to digitally sign your credit agreement, pay your deposit and wait for your order to arrive. We were previously with Klarna but now work principally with Novuna.

 

In some cases, your application may be referred to the lender for manual assessment and you'll be notified by email of the decision within 24 hours. If you're not approved for finance it could be for a variety of reasons and the lender will be able to give you more information. Your first direct debit payment will be taken around a month after you receive your order. This will show on your statement as a payment to the lender. You have the right to repay all or part of the loan early at any time.

 

There is a 14-day cooling off period during which you can withdraw from the credit agreement. If you wish to cancel, please contact us, we will cancel the application, arrange for return of the goods, the lender will refund your deposit and let you know of any outstanding balance if applicable.

 

Delivery of orders on finance

Please note any order on finance is shipped on a special service via DPD that will require a PIN code on delivery. On the day the delivery is due, the PIN code will be sent to you via e-mail or Viber/SMS message. This PIN code can be distributed to an authorised person (family member or friend) so they can receive the delivery, but please only share this with someone you trust to accept the delivery safely.
