I ordered the Deluxe edition of the new Underoath Record. Where is it?

Since Tooth & Nail records experienced some delays in the manufacturing of this version of the record, ship dates have been pushed back. As a courtesy, Tooth & Nail records has issued an email to each of you both explaining the situation and giving a UNIQUE free download for the new record. Each download can only be used once, and there is only one download per Deluxe purchased. If you have not received this email containing the free download please email us at: customerservice@audiblediversiongroup.com. Please keep in mind that if our records show that you have both received the email AND downloaded the record already - you will not be issued another email for any reason.

3. The credit card information you entered did not pass our Billing Address Verification Check. When we check a card for available funds, we also check to make sure that the billing address of the card matches what the user entered. This is one way that we protect our customers from fraud. If the billing address doesn't match, the order gets declined.

How do I know if the item I want is in stock?

If we cannot reach you within seven (7) days of the order being placed to make a final decision regarding the out of stock item, the entire order will be held until the out of stock item becomes available.
