Notes

These parts are not mass produced and we use multiple machine shops, so surface finish, texture, and color may vary between batches. Colors may also look different depending on your screen, the lighting, and variations in anodizing.

Please be sure to review our refund policy for cancelled and returned orders.

We cannot change the value of the shipment and sadly we do not have control over your particular country's fee/tariffs/taxes.

Brass parts come as machined and may show oxidation/discolor (due to being exposed to air) and some small machining or small scratches may be present. Assume you will need to do your final surface finishing using a flexible 3M sanding pad. (The 3M 7448 usually works well). After polishing, clean and apply clearcoat, poly, or other coating to maintain the shine. Note Brass is also very dense (heavy) and conductive. Consider in some applications, these attributes may have adverse effects. (ex. The SP hinges will not support the screen as well). If used with electronics, it is advisable to use kapton tape, insulating paint, (nail polish may work) to prevent electrical shorts.

Assembly Instructions

International Customers

We are located in the USA, and want everyone in the world to experience Boxy Pixel products worldwide! It is important to understand a few points:

1. There are two shipping methods available. DHL and USPS (United States Postal Service). DHL is very fast and comes with insurance, but can be expensive. The USPS slow shipping we offer can take many weeks, is not reliable, and is not insured.

2. If you do choose uninsured USPS for your international shipping, we do offer third party insurance to help in case it gets lost. This is "route" insurance. It is not expensive, and is worth the cost. Deselecting this option at checkout will waive all insurance. If your package is lost, we unfortunately cannot send a refund or replacement.

3. If an item gets shipped back to us due to delivery problems, we would need to charge additional fees if you would like to attempt delivery again.

4. Return shipping is the responsibility of the buyer

5. We are prohibited from shipping batteries outside of the USA.

Please be sure to review our refund policy for cancelled and returned orders.
