I ordered 3 items - 2 sipped and I was charged for the two I received - zero communication on the 3rd item (backordered, cancelled, discontinued) and I was receiving email spam to rate the 3rd item that never shipped? Just a mess… thankfully I did not spend much here.
I never said I wasn’t charged for the items I received… read above, I did not edit that - I said one item was cancelled with zero communication regarding the cancellation.
Also note that there is a pending change on my CC for the items I was charged for already. The pending change is for 12/25 - I hope that doesn’t post.

Hi Nik, I just checked your order history and this is simply untrue. We only charged you for the 2 items that shipped and we cancelled the one item that is still on backorder. We also shipped the order for free even though it fell below our free shipping threshold when the item was cancelled due to backorder status.
Please take a 2nd look at the charge on your credit card, your original order was for $102.95 and you were only charged $73.95. Thank you, Liz

I mistakenly ordered 6SN7 NOS tubes instead of the VT231 versions I intended to buy. After realizing my error, I contacted the company within an hour to request that they not ship my order as an error had been made. However, they shipped it anyway, charging me $19.25 for shipping 2.5 hours away, which should have only cost $3.
While $19.25 isn't a huge amount of money, I believe the company shouldn't profit from my mistake. I paid $156.75 for the tubes and was only refunded $137.50. I had to take time off work to refuse the package, and if it had been delivered, I would have been stuck with the tubes because they don't do refunds on tubes. I believe they intentionally tried to stick me with those tubes because they didn't have to ship them. They didn't have time to ship them in less than an hour. They had a vice grip on my money and didn't want to let it go, which is why they refused to cancel the order.
This situation could have been avoided if they had canceled my order as requested. It's wrong to force a product on someone when the order was made in error. It's also wrong to profit from shipping fees only 2.5 hours away. I noticed this company has every excuse in the book when their dirty laundry is aired for everyone to see. In the end, they was forced to refund some of my money because I made sure I was home to refuse the package. I would of lost all my money if the tubes had been delivered an thats exactly what they was hoping for.

Hi Tim, you attempted to cancel this order after it had shipped. We cannot cancel an order once it has been picked up by the carrier. We only charged you for the original and return shipping charges on this order which was $19.25 not $30. We still have to pay Fedex for the shipping/return shipping on this order even though you returned the shipment. We did not profit from this order, to the contrary, we actually had many other fees associated with this order that were not refunded to us as a small business. I hope this explains the actual fees that a small business must pay when an order is placed. Thank you, Liz

Hi Joon, I'm sorry that you do not like our return policy of a 10% restocking fee on this order. We must charge a restocking fee on returns as we have to sell open box items at a 10-15% discount when they are not new. Most customers prefer new items so we offer a very fair return policy so people can try an item and return it with a small fee if they don't like it. You can always opt to avoid the restocking fee if you opt for store credit in the future. I hope this helps. Thank you, Liz

open box Gaia I (1 vs 4)
I was searching for a set of 4 Gaia I isolation feet. An open box item that came up was a apparently for a great price so I ordered it. When it arrived l, it was in a small box a single foot at close to full price, but not returnable because it was an open box. Went back and saw it was a single foot, I had misread the result, because I was searching for a set of 4. $180 (less what I can recoup on ebay) down the drain… Double check before you order, their search mechanism doesn’t match all constraints.

Hi Cliff, the listing on the website and your order stated Single Unit/Open Box, so I'm confused on how we could have shared this more clearly. Your purchase price was $149.99 + tax, or $163.67.
We also have a set of 4 on the same page you can purchase here. I'm happy to swap this single unit out for a set of 4 if that's what you are looking for? https://www.moon-audio.com/products/isoacoustics-gaia-i-isolation
We appreciate you taking the time to leave your feedback.
Thank you,

If I could give them a zero I would
If I could give them a zero I would. Their customer service and communication is absolutely terrible. Go out of your way not to purchase anything from them!!

Hi Wade, we don't have a record of you placing an order with our store. We also cannot find any interactions in our customer service platform with anyone by your name. I'd love the opportunity to learn what went wrong here. We strive to support our customers with great service, excellent product, and technical support on everything they are looking to learn about here at Moon Audio. I look forward to hearing from you!
Warmly,

Awful experience
Awful experience, seems like a scam business. I’ve made an order and they haven’t shipped it completely ignoring all emails which is the only way to contact with them. I asked for cancellation of my order but still no reply from them for 10 days already
Response from Moon-AudioFeb 17, 2025
Hello, Leonid, we answer our phone all day, every day so you are welcome to call us anytime. Our phone number is in the footer of our website. We also explained via email that your order was NOT approved for shipment due to concern it was fraudulent. This happens at times when an overseas customer tries to place an order via a transshipper. We don't ship to transshippers. We do ship worldwide daily so if you are ok with us shipping directly to your door, we are able and ready to ship via Fedex to any address worldwide with a few minor exceptions that Fedex does not service. Thank you.

Hello Jen. I'm not sure what you mean by this and we don't show any orders for you. We don't sell any snake oil here, I can assure you. :) We aim to please all our customers and do our best to support them with the best technical support team you can find out there. Please let me know if there is anything we can address here that we are unaware of, thank you.

Product purchased did not work as advertised
UPDATED: Apparently this device was not compatible with my $5K gaming PC. Just because it works well for one environment, does not mean it would work in all. Lack of universal compatibility puts 100% of the risk-burden on the customer. During our troubleshooting communication, Moon Audio tech support did not attempt to replicate in a similar environment. Had I been aware of this prior to engaging MOON AUDIO, I certainly would not have wasted both our time.
Not UPDATED: apparently MOON AUDIO's inability to replicate an intermittent problem has resulted in them drawing the conclusion of no problem found. I on the other hand was able to replicate the problem through installation of the PCIe card in multiple PC's followed by extensive listening. MOON-AUDIO did not reveal how they tested the product and the environment it was tested in. Was it tested using like hardware and software? Was it only bench tested at the integrated circuit component level. Was it integration tested exercising both the hardware and software together? Did they test with all Windows OS versions and all compatible sound and USB drivers? Even a lay person knows that a code-diagnostic on a vehicle does not reveal how well the car operates. I cannot help but wonder the test approach here was not comprehensive. The following description indicates what the product should do; BUT DOESN'T:
In order to improve the quality of the PC USB port through the data transmission and the noise level
of power supply, element H USB 3.0 INTERFACE is made to meet the high standard requirements of
Hi-Fi audio transmission and from source signal to bring a complete change.
Using the USB 3.0 bridge chip from Texas Instruments and a Crystek CCHD-575 super-low noise
femtosecond clock, which opens up an independent data channel for USB audio stream, by the
means of bypassing from the USB controller on the motherboard, directly bridging to PCI-E port, and
to avoid sharing the data channel with other USB devices.
The multiple filter units are integrated for USB power supply, which uses the heavy current LDO chip
with 6μVRMS and the solid-state capacitor, even if it's using the internal power supply, it can also
filter the high-frequency noise of PC switching power. The USB port can supply a maximum current
at 5V 1500mA for all audio devices supplied by the USB port, as well as the measuring function to
over-current and short circuit.
The two power supply (external/internal) modes can be configured through the switch on the
dam-board. With regard to the non-USB power supply audio devices, you can switch off the power
supply of the USB port.
The four-layer PCB with high speed circuit design standard, according with the differential on the
impedance standards and line length requirements. The CNC aluminum enclosure covers the entire
board, effectively shielded radiation interference from computer chassis, meanwhile taking into
account the cooling requirements of power supply chip.
****** ORIGINAL REVIEW BELOW ******
Product purchased did not work as advertised. They would not budge on waiving the restocking fee. Getting your money back is riskier Vegas slots. Purchased a PCIe usb card advertised it would isolate and clean (filter noise) the USB signal. It did not. They tried to tell me it was my desktop. I installed it in other desktops with the same results. They would not waive the restocking fee or repair the product under warranty. Returned an AC adapter that was purchased at the same time as the card - not used but was charged a restocking fee. They did not refund the extended warranty that was not activated until I had to remind them. All items were returned withing the policy guidelines.

Hello, Fmita. We support our products and customers fully. We see that you ordered the Matrix Element H. Unfortunately, your computer was the issue. We tested the returned unit 100% and there were no issues when multiple engineers tested this in house. The USB Card does not claim to fix/resolve existing computer issues. We still have a 10% restocking fee on all opened products even a customer doesn't like them. If there is an issue with the device, and we can duplicate during our testing phase, we waive the restocking fee. In this case, we were able to test the product 100% with no issues on our end. There is no warranty repair needed on 100% working product that has no issues. We also resold this product as an open box within a week after you returned the product and that customer had no issues. Thank you for your feedback. We wish you the best in your future endeavors.
