HOW TO BUY

Antica Ukuleleria’s instruments can be purchased in 2 different ways, also depending on the model:
order your own ukulele or just look if I have something in stock that you particulary like.

ORDER ON COMMISSION

The majority of the ukuleles I make are built on commission. Here are the steps to order your own personalized instrument: 

  1. First of all check the Building list page, in order to see the next available slot. If you agree with the timing please continue with the next steps.
  2. Go to the desired model’s page, follow the steps that will let you select the features you want, than add the ukulele to the basket.
    I added a visual configurator to show you an approximate preview of the instrument, but remember that this is a simple representation: in real life both the colors and the grain of the woods can look a little different.
  3. You’ll be asked to complete the checkout and insert all the shipping infos.
  4. Payment is via paypal, you can choose to pay the non refundable deposit (100€) or the full amount.
  5. Once you have confirmed everything an Order Detail email and a payment notification will be sent to you.
  6. When the ukulele will be completed I’ll contact you again to confirm the address, and to send you a payment request for the balance due, finally I’ll ship the ukulele to you.


Please remember that for deliveries outside of the EU you may have to pay additional customs duties, taxes and charges. Unfortunately these taxes are out of my control and can vary from 0% to about 25% of the total depending on the circumstances.

INSTRUMENTS IN STOCK

In the downtimes of a regular production I often try to build extra ukes that will appear available in the IN STOCK page.
The page is updated from time to time, so keep an eye on it to see if there is something you are interested in!
The list could include also prototypes or ex-demo. In these cases a discount is often applied.

  1. To buy one of these ukuleles just add it to the basket.
  2. You’ll be asked to complete the checkout and insert all your info for the shipping.
  3. Payment is via Paypal. Please note that, in this case, the “Pay Deposit” option makes not sense, since it’s meant only for the orders on commission, please select “Full Amount”.
  4. Once you have confirmed everything an Order Detail email and a payment notification will be sent to you.
  5. As soon as possible I’ll send you an Paypal invoice asking you to pay for the total, finally I’ll ship the uke to you.
  6. Instruments purchased in this way can not be personalized or modified (with some exceptions like the simple left hand adaption when it is available).

Please remember that for deliveries outside of the EU you may have to pay additional customs duties, taxes and charges. Unfortunately these taxes are out of my control and can vary from 0% to about 25% of the total depending on the circumstances.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

I build tailor made instruments and every ukulele is very personal. The building requires a long time and effort, this is why I advice you to be sure before placing an order as I do not accept instruments back. In case you are not happy with your instrument, do not hesitate to contact me, I will put all my effort in finding a suitable solution for both.

I do guarantee free repairs on my instrument.
The warranty is valid only for instruments sold directly by Antica Ukuleleria.
Shipping expenses are at customer’s charge.
The warranty is not valid for damages caused by the owner’s negligence.
