What are the shipping options?

We currently use USPS (United States Postal Service) as our exclusive shipping option. Because of this there are a few constraints that are affected by this.

Can I track my order online, like on other e-commerce websites?

Sorry, but currently, since we ship all our packages through USPS we cannot track the progress of your shipment. We will continue to try to improve the information about your shipments from our shipping carriers, but currently USPS doesn’t offer this sort of information to its customers, so we cannot provide this service to our customers.

An example process for buying a remote control goes as follows:

  • Click on a major manufacturer, such as "Sony"
  • Find a Remote Control you’d like to purchase and click on "Add to Cart"

Do you ship outside the United States?

Yes, we ship to other countries that are shipped to by United States Postal Service (USPS), which includes Canada and other US territories.

Can I use a Universal Remote Control Instead of the Original Replacement Remote Control?

We do not recommend the use of Universal Remote controls over the original remote control that came with your television, DVD player, or other electronic device. Although they will work, there is a lot of work required to program the universal remote control to work with your device. You must page through page after page of manuals in order to find the right code, and once you’ve found the code you must go through a few pages of instructions to figure out how to program the universal remote control. Another negative is that this isn’t even a onetime step, when you have to replace the batteries in the universal remote in the future, you will have to go through this process again, and you better hope you haven’t lost the manual with the remote control codes in it, or you may just have to go out and buy another universal remote. Where as a replacement remote comes ready to work with the original device and you will not need to learn how to program the remote control with anything.

How secure is my personal information on your website?

We’ve taken as many measures as possible to secure your personal information. Although we are constantly coming up with better procedures to protect your information further. We have monthly meetings to discuss and review our current security measures to find new ways to prevent any stolen data. Check out our privacy policy for further information on how we protect your privacy.

I need remote control codes for my universal remote control, what should I do?

We currently do not offer remote control codes on our website for universal remote controls, or replacement remote controls, however if there is enough need for such a service we might consider adding a directory of codes in the future. If you are interested, email us (do not call) at sales@everytvremote.com and let us know that you’re interested. The more requests we receive the higher the likelihood we may add this in the future.

How can I figure out my remote model number without actually having the remote because it’s been destroyed, lost, or stolen?

You can figure out the remote control model number easily by figuring out the model number from the device the remote control usually controls. So if you own a Sony KP53X15 Television, you can use the search feature or go to the Sony category on our site, and find the remote model numbers that control this specific television. If you’re confused still, please call our toll free number at 1-800-827-2546 and talk to a live representative that can help you figure out the correct remote control to order.
