Frequently Asked Questions

Our tapes are categorized into three types based on their condition:

• A Stock: New Old Stock (NOS) in excellent condition. For original manufacturer packs that contain multiple individual tapes, minor imperfections in the outer wrapper only are not considered a degrading factor.
• B Stock: NOS with minor imperfections such as wrapper damage, missing wrappers, excessive scuffing, or case cracks.
• C Stock: Gently used tapes that come with a full warranty. Please visit our C stock page for details.

For B and C stock items, we offer a free pre-shipping photo service to show you detailed images of the actual items you will be purchasing.

Your discount code might be rejected for several reasons:

Expired Code: The discount code may have expired. Please check the expiration date and make sure it’s still valid.

Invalid or Misspelled Code: Ensure that the code is entered correctly without any typos or extra spaces. Double-check the exact spelling and format.

Multiple Discounts: Trying to use two different discounts simultaneously may cause the code to be rejected.
For example, using both a product discount and a reward points redemption code at the same time is not allowed.
To operate sustainably and keep providing the best tapes to our customers, we cannot allow “double dipping” of discounts, except for the free US shipping >$50 which is automatically applied regardless of other discounts.
