Do you offer financing or a payment plan?

Yes, Wrensilva is pleased to offer Shop Pay Installments. Shop Pay gives you the option to pay in full at checkout, or to pay for your order over time. You can split your purchase into monthly installment payments, term lengths and rates vary. Select Shop Pay at checkout for monthly installment payments.

If I have a turntable already and want it built into the console, is that possible?

No. We've carefully selected the turntable components in all our stereo consoles to deliver the Wrensilva audio experience we're known for. But you can never have too much music in your home, please consider saving that turntable for another room.

What turntable is used in your consoles?

We do not use a standard retail turntable in any of our stereo consoles. The Wrensilva M1 and The Standard come equipped with VPI® parts as well as Wrensilva parts and electronics. Our Loft models use Wrensilva parts as well as components from Pro-ject®. We stand firmly behind the quality of our components and partners, and believe the music experience is unmatched by off-the-shelf solutions.

Do you ship internationally?

Not yet. FOB orders are possible, meaning a local California sale can be executed. After which we can assist by delivering the console to the Port of San Diego, however at that point the customer must take over and arrange, pay for, and assume all responsibility for overseas shipping and service.

Note that all Wrensilva consoles are built to operate on 60hz power, any Wrensilva console in a country using 50hz will need a frequency converter between the turntable motor and the power source (which we can explain upon request).

Do you do rush orders?

At this time, all of our consoles are hand-built and have a lead time before they are ready to ship. It would be unfair to put any one customer ahead of another, we fulfill orders in the order sequence that they are placed. However, all good things are worth waiting for, and we build great consoles. If you have a console in mind as a gift and would like something to present on a specific date, please see next question.

What can you do for orders intended as a gift?  

Email us at hello@wrensilva.com ! All of our consoles have a lead time to ship date, but in the event that the order was (or will be) placed close to the special date, no need to worry. We put together great gift packages so you'll have something impressive to present. We can put together a simple complementary package that includes product literature and Wrensilva apparel, or we can put together a package that is more involved. Either way, we can provide an impressive package in advance of the console that will convey and create excitement for the 'big gift' of their Wrensilva record console.

Do you do custom orders?

Not typically, but it never hurts to ask. If we are able to do it without disrupting production flow we will generate an estimate for the extra customization work involved.

What if I want the size of the Standard console but with the M1 finishes?

This is one of our most popular requests and one we are happy to accommodate :) Please email us hello@wrensilva.com or call (800) 292-6353 and we will set the order up for you.

Do all of your consoles work with Sonos?

Yes they do!

SHIPPING

How much is shipping and how long does it take to receive my order?

Each Wrensilva® product is very different in terms of size and weight and time it takes to build.

Please reference the chart at the top of our Shipping Page to see the shipping cost and current projected lead time to ship date.

Our consoles are all handbuilt and handwired in San Diego, California. We try to be as accurate as possible with lead times but please order with enough advance time for flexibility if your console is intended for a special occasion or as a gift.

How do you ship your consoles?

Our Loft ships via FedEx Ground in standard cardboard boxes.

Large consoles such as the M1 and Standard One consoles ship via freight in a well-padded cardboard crate. When the console reaches the local terminal, the shipping provider will call the customer directly to schedule drop-off within a window of 2-3 hours, customer's choice as to which business day the delivery is performed. The freight company will wheel the crated console into your garage or street-level entrance. They will not unbox, carry up stairs, or set up the console. White Glove Service is available as an add-on.

Is white-glove delivery included, if not, is it an option?

White-glove is only included for our largest console, the M1.

White-glove service is not included for The Standard, but can be added to your order at any time up until ship date through this page:

White Glove

I travel a lot, will I be contacted before my order ships?

Absolutely. As these are high value packages, we never ship a console without contacting the customer first to check scheduling concerns and affirm that someone will be available to accept and confirm a successful delivery. A representative will reach out about a week before the projected ship date to inquire about availability to accept delivery, confirm your shipping address, and inquire about any special considerations. Tracking information for all products will be provided upon shipping.

Do you allow local pick-up or have an option for local delivery?

Yes. Please contact us directly at hello@wrensilva.com to inquire. We are headquartered in San Diego, California.

My item arrived damaged.  What should I do?

DO NOT PROVIDE YOUR SIGNATURE FOR DAMAGED PACKAGES!

Please refuse delivery and immediately give the unboxed unit back to the delivery driver. Providing your signature at delivery is affirming to the delivery company that the package arrived in good condition. This severely complicates the return process.

If however, you or another has already signed and accepted delivery of the damaged unit, please DO NOT DISPOSE OF PACKAGING and contact us immediately at hello@wrensilva.com. We will assess the situation on a case by case basis to determine whether the item needs to be returned or can be easily serviced by a local technician. Again, please keep the packaging. Should the item need to be returned for replacement, you will need the packaging to return the item and we will need it to negotiate damages and reshipping in both directions with the carrier. Any photographic documentation of the unopened package is also appreciated.

Finally, we gladly will take care of any units that have been damaged in transit and will work quickly to resolve any issue, however we do not ship replacement units for consoles that have not been returned to us. The exception to this is if you consent that we will place a hold charge for the additional unit should the first item not be returned.

I received my console and love it.  However, I'm having trouble installing the turntable belt?  Is this the correct belt?

Yes it is. Turntable belts are just slightly awkward to install until one gets the hang of how to do it. Here's a video of our favorite method: Turntable SetUp

If you have accidentally stretched your belt, oftentimes simply popping it into the freezer for an hour will shrink it back to its original size.

Replacement belts are available here.  You should only need to replace your belt every few years depending on usage.

Is Wrensilva hiring?

We are always on the lookout for new talent!

If you have a background that you feel would be a great addition to Wrensilva, please send us your resume and a short introduction to yourself and your skills within the body of the email. Resumes sent with only an attachment, no introduction, will not be opened.
