Main reasons why all macroeconomics are WAY out of our control.
The main 3 culprits are:
1 - Global shipping issues deep dive
2 - Chip shortage deep dive
3 - In-home entertainment demand and national unrest.
4 - Shortages, shortages, shortages everywhere. Also, no; it is not because of COVID: Why There Are So Many Shortages
We hope things go back to normal soon and we will keep you informed as best we can.
We're frustrated about being out of stock and we're doing everything possible to get our hands on more scanners. But as the White House is giving daily updates on these issues and it is front page news daily - not sure if we can take it to a higher authority.
Buying Pro Tip - All scanner retailers are dealing with these issues and we're all waiting on the exact same shipment.
Historically, we all receive items on the same day, so buying from one retailer over another will not get you a scanner faster.
The only way to get a scanner is to buy one on backorder and we usually get a new batch once a month.
GENERAL
Zip Scanners is a police scanner retailer based in Minneapolis, MN.

PURCHASING
We accept all major credit cards and debit cards; as well as Amazon, PayPal, and Affirm.
We do not have a payment plan, but we have a separate company handle that for us; they are called Affirm. They handle the payment plans and credit check.
NOTE: As of now, Affirm is not accepted in Iowa and West Virginia.
Yes we do. You can trade for credit towards a new device or sell it to us. Click on this link for that page: We Buy Used Scanners.
The drop down menu will list the device and its corresponding trade or sell amount.
NOTE: We only take devices in the drop down menu. Please do not select a newer device, then write a different device in the message box.
Example: Picking the Whistler TRX-1, then typing WS1040 in the box.
We have moved onto a newer and more secure website, so giving us just your credit card will not be the end of the transaction.
We have to get a special code from you that can be found from our website at the bottom, so our system can track your device's IP number; which verifies that you are not a fraudulent order.
Why do we need that code? On phone orders, we will be building the cart on our computer, so the store will think that the order is for us because there was no IP number to track.
Hence why we prefer you placing the order on our website with your own device because our store's system will have your IP number to track quicker.
We collect sales tax on shipments to the following States:
Minnesota
Illinois
Michigan
New York
Ohio
Florida
Add items to cart to view rates.
All other States we are not legally required to collect sales tax for as we're a small company and do not meet tax nexus requirements.
Pro tip: We can ship your scanner to any state you'd like.

If you are not home, USPS will attempt to deliver 1-3 times, then leave a note for you to pick up the package at your local USPS office.
RETURNS
Returns are fast and hassle-free.
You can return products for a refund or replacement within 14 days from the day you receive your item(s). If you receive a defective or incorrect product, we will cover all costs involved in getting you a new product and/or returning the original product. You will never incur a cost if you receive a defective product or if we make a mistake. All returns are subject to a 15% restocking fee, or $10, whichever is greater; details below.
To start the return process email zip @ zipscanners.com with:
Email subject line: RMA Request
In the body of the email please include:
Order number:
Reason for return: (Add details)
Returning all items or partial return:
Does your return fall within the 14-day return window from when package arrived (required):
Do you have all original packaging and accessories (required):
With 15% restocking fee, what is the expected refund amount:
Merchandise must be new or like-new condition and must contain all original packaging & accessories. Box it came in, brackets, owners manual, etc.
14-day return window from the day you receive items. No exceptions.
RMA number required. Do not ship to our warehouse without notice or the package may be lost and/or delay refund/replacement.
Programming, unless incorrect, is non-refundable.
Software upgrades are non-refundable for any reason as software is registered in the buyer's name.
Shipping fees are non-refundable for any reason, including defects. Most orders include free shipping.
International shipping fees are non-refundable. Due to the expense of international shipping, customers outside of the U.S. are responsible for all return shipping costs, regardless of the reason for return. This includes items that will be returned for a refund and/or have manufacturer defects.
We will credit your account within 3-5 business days upon receipt and inspection of your return.
15% restocking fee OR $7 (whichever is greater) applies to ALL items, unless defective. No exceptions.
The restocking fee still applies if you're not able to pick up as much in your area as you expected.
We are aware this is unpopular, but as a small company we must charge restocking fees or we could not stay in business.
We call out restocking fees on this page, the order confirmation email, and shipment tracking email to avoid blindside confusion.
Restocking fee covers shipping to you and items for return. We do not resell returned scanners; all returns are sent back to the manufacturer.
Less than 1% of all sales are returned; we're proud of this and we want you to be satisfied!
Scanners take patience; this is why we provide lifetime tech support alongside several guides and how-to videos.
We are not a showroom. Trying out a new (or a few) scanner(s) and returning for a full refund would put us out of business.
Please contact our experts before you buy and we'll help you choose the correct scanner.
Our scanner recommendations are not guaranteed or foolproof. Scanners are tricky and things like frequencies, formats, and systems can change without our knowledge; sometimes after you order and before your scanner arrives. We use the Radio Reference database to look up your area, which is accurate, but it's a user-generated and updated wiki and we're only as good as this resource. This affects .01% of orders, but we cannot be held responsible for the inaccuracies of Radio Reference.
We try to avoid returns as we lose money on all returns. We provide after-sale tech support and attempt to contact most orders before shipment to ensure the correct scanner is chosen, programming is added, and expectations are set. 99.9% of all orders are great! However, returns are a part of any business.
PROGRAMMING
Police scanner programming is, by far, our #1 selling item and is included with almost all orders. There are only a handful of programming experts in the world and we have a few of them. While we guarantee we will program the correct frequencies as specified in your order and we are always here to help if there is an issue, we cannot guarantee proper reception in order to receive these frequencies. Scanners work on line-of-sight, not satellites, so what works for your neighbor or on your old scanner may not work with your new scanner. We pull our lists from the Radio Reference database, so if there is a frequency you want and it's in there, we can program this on your scanner. Conversely, if something you want is not in this database, it will not be on your scanner. We will notify you if there is a frequency we cannot program.
Air, Rail & Race programming?
Each of these will count as '1 County'. So if you want to listen to Air and Rail you would buy '2 Counties' of programming and in the text area, type the name of the Airport and Rail you'd like to hear.
SUPPORT
We offer free lifetime technical support.
Scanners are complicated and over 75% of all orders have follow-up questions days, months, or even years after purchase. Our staff are highly trained and we always try to go above and beyond for our customers. While we're always available, we sometimes need customers to problem-solve with us. While world-changing products such as the iPhone are easy to operate and use, scanners are a niche industry and sometimes arriving at a solution takes some patience. We always find a solution and will not leave a customer hanging if we’re stumped, but sometimes this involves some back and forth problem solving to eliminate issues.
Read reviews from hundreds of happy customers.
Lifetime support is not unlimited support.
While we're more than happy to help and our lifetime technical support covers you as long as you own your scanner, support is not unlimited. Unfortunately, we have to say this due to some past overuse. Some examples that are not covered include (these have actually happened):
Teach you how to program. We highly recommend buying programming with your scanner. We created several video series that show you how to program, but we will not walk you through programming step-by-step.
Stay on the phone while you open your box and walk you through how to do everything. We can problem-solve issues but we will not provide unlimited personalized training without the purchase of that service.
Support is only for items you purchase from us; example: If you only bought earphones from us we cannot help you with your scanner.
We cannot stay on the phone for non-scanner related reasons. Ex: “You sell electronics, which _____ should I buy?”
USED
All used scanners come with a 30-day limited warranty. These scanners are all pre-owned and sent back to Zip Scanners or purchased by us via trade-in. When we receive these used scanners, our scanner technician checks in every radio to ensure they are in working order and have all items the scanner came with including antennae, cables, batteries etc. Additionally, we power on and program each scanner to ensure it is not defective and reset all software back to factory settings as well as apply the latest firmware version.
While buying a used scanner will save you money, it is, well...used. The box it comes in will be opened and none of the plastic-ripping-twist-tie-stripping fun will be left. The scanner will be in like-new shape, but not quite brand new.
INTERNATIONAL
Add items to cart to view shipping rates.
Some countries charge duties, tariffs, or GST. The buyer is responsible for 100% of these fees.
Due to the expense of international shipping, customers outside of the US are responsible for all return shipping costs, regardless of the reason for return. This includes items that will be returned for a refund and/or have manufacturer defects.
6-10 business days from shipment to delivery. However, as all packages ship by ground, delivery time may increase (or decrease) based on where you live. We will send you tracking information once your package ships so you can follow its progress and ensure you or someone else is home to sign for it. To get an estimate on the delivery time, you can visit the USPS website and enter your ship-to address―we ship from 55413-1679.
Estimated Canada delivery time: 6 days
Estimated Australia delivery time: 14 days
Estimated UK delivery time: 12 days
The programming software that we use currently only have information about the US and Canada.
Police scanners are not typically carried by electronics retailers at physical locations because it is a small, niche industry.
We do not collect any duties or tariffs when shipping to Canada. There are usually no fees when we ship to Canada but each province is unique and any fees are the sole responsibility of the recipient to pay in the event there are any. Here is a site with a tax calculator you can use to estimate the cost. To use the calculator use Category = Electronics & Media, Electronics & Media Product = Computers, Where was the Product Made? = NAFTA. You can pull pricing info, in USD, from our website based on items you purchase.

We do not have access to or control over cookies or other features that advertisers and third- party sites may use, and the information practices of these advertisers and third-party websites are not covered by our Privacy Policy. Please contact them directly for more information about their privacy practices.

COOKIES AND INTEREST-BASED ADVERTISING
Tracking tools we use. We and our service providers collect information about users over time and across different websites and devices through the use of tracking tools including cookies, web beacons, device identifiers and other online information-gathering tools (collectively, "cookies"). While the cookies that we use may change from time to time, we use cookies for the same purposes, including:
To authenticate your account and store your password if you are a registered account holder;
To monitor performance of our Services;
To learn more about the way you interact with our content;
To personalize your experience on our Sites, Apps and Social Media Services;
To optimize and tailor our Sites and Apps;
To make product recommendations and provide you with advertising content on our Services and elsewhere in which we think you will be interested;
To measure the effectiveness of personalized ads;
To pursue analytics and research to help us improve our Services and product offerings;
To better understand our Site visitors and App users and their respective interests, including by learning about your online activities across devices.
Interest based advertising. We and our service providers use cookies to learn about what ads you see, what ads you click, and other actions you take on our Sites, Apps and other sites. This allows us to provide you with more useful and relevant ads on both Zip Scanners-owned and operated sites and unaffiliated sites. Interest-based ads, also sometimes referred to as personalized or targeted ads, are displayed to you based on information from activities such as purchasing on our Sites or Apps, visiting sites that contain our content or ads, interacting with our tools or using our payment services. In providing interest-based ads, we follow the Self-Regulatory Principles for Online Behavioral Advertising developed by the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) (a coalition of marketing, online advertising, and consumer advocacy organizations). See "Advertising Preferences and Opt-out" below to opt-out of such advertising.
Third party advertising management partners may help us display tailored content to our customers' interests and serve interest-based advertising on our behalf. We do not provide any personal information to advertisers or to third party sites that display our interest-based ads. However, advertisers and other third-parties (including the ad networks, ad-serving companies, and other service providers they may use) may collect information through cookies about your browsing activity on our website to display interest based ads. Also, some third-parties may provide us information about you (such as the sites where you have been shown ads or demographic information) from offline and online sources that we may use to provide you more relevant and useful advertising.
Advertisers or ad companies working on their behalf sometimes use technology to serve the ads that appear on our sites directly to your browser. They automatically receive your IP address when this happens. They may also use cookies to measure the effectiveness of their ads and to personalize ad content. We do not have access to or control over cookies or other features that advertisers and third- party sites may use, and the information practices of these advertisers and third-party websites are not covered by our Privacy Policy. Please contact them directly for more information about their privacy practices.
ADVERTISING PREFERENCES AND OPT-OUT
Cookies: The Help feature on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. If you set your browser to limit or remove cookies or otherwise block our use of cookies, some Site features may be unavailable or unable to function properly. Your device may not give you the ability to control cookies. If you wish to block cookies on our App, you will need to delete the application from your mobile device.
Email marketing opt-out: If you wish to opt-out of any marketing email communications you may contact our customer service representatives at the phone number or email address below, under Questions. You also may follow opt-out unsubscribe instructions included in our promotional e-mail. Please note that removal of user information from our database or "opting-out" will not stop marketing or advertising content that is generated for distribution or is otherwise queued for transmission to you prior to the time when we can implement your request. Following receipt of a request from you, we will take reasonable steps to delete your information. If you opt-out of marketing communications, you will continue to receive transactional communications, such as e-mail or text notifications about your order status, recall information and other administrative information. Your information will remain in our database, but will be marked as inactive so you do not receive marketing materials from us.
Interest-based advertising opt-out: You may opt-out of our targeted advertising and the targeted advertising of certain providers by visiting the DAA consumer opt-out page at https://www.aboutads.info/choices. Also, you can generally opt-out of receiving personalized ads from member of the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) by visiting the NAI consumer opt-out page at http://optout.networkadvertising.org/?c=1#!/. Opting out will not mean that you will no longer receive our ads, rather, it just means that those ads will not be targeted to you based upon data collected from you on our online Services.
Apps opt-out: You may use the DAA's AppChoices program to opt-out of certain interest-based advertising in apps (see: https://youradchoices.com/appchoices). You may also select a system level advertising preference feature on your device to opt out your device from interest-based advertising in apps. On Apple iOS devices, system level advertising preference may be accessed via Settings – Privacy – Advertising – Limit Ad Tracking. On Android devices, open the Google Settings app from your app drawer or from your operating system's settings menu, tap Ads, and select "Opt-out of Interest-based ads.
Facebook opt-out: Facebook may provide you with the ability to opt-out of certain advertising practices. See https://www.facebook.com/help/1075880512458213/?helpref=hc_fnav. However, we are unable to control Facebook's practices or disclosures. To opt-out of data collection by other Social Media Services, you should review that provider's privacy practices.
Mobile location settings: If you access our Services through a mobile device, we may also be able to identify the location of your mobile device. You may choose not to share your location details with us by adjusting your mobile device's location services settings. For instructions on changing the relevant settings, please contact your service provider or device manufacturer.
Do-Not-Track: Some browsers have a "do not track" feature that lets you tell websites that you do not want to have your online activities tracked. Our online Services do not support "do not track" preferences that may be available in your browser and are not capable of satisfying the preference you set.
DATA SECURITY
We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect the information we collect. However, no information system can be 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information.
DATA RETENTION
We may retain your data for as long as we believe there is a business, legal or security reason for doing so, even if you are no longer an active customer.
HOW TO UPDATE INFORMATION
You may correct or update information collected about you through our Services by contacting us at the email address noted at the end of this Privacy Policy below, or by editing your information and preferences on the "Your Account" and "Profile and Password" pages.
