How Are Shipping Charges Handled?

If you are returning product(s), we can offer a discounted return label for you to return your product(s) to us. If you choose to use it, this discounted return label fee is simply deducted from the amount of your refund after the return has been received and processed. Return label fees can vary depending on the item(s) you wish to return. We do not credit any original shipping charges or any applicable payment plan fee toward the return. Any paid shipping method or payment plan fee will be deducted from the refund in full.

If the return is needed due to damage, defect, or our mistake, we will pay the shipping charges - both to have your item sent back to us and to send you a replacement item, if desired. Once we have confirmed that the exchanged item is in-transit to us, we can issue a factory-fresh replacement product. 

** International customers as well as customers in Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, APO/FPO, and other U.S. Territories will be responsible for return shipping costs on any returning order. Return labels or call tags cannot be issued by American Musical Supply for customers in these areas. **

How Are Restocking Fees Handled?

We rarely charge restocking fees. We can only accept items that are returned without signs of wear and tear and with all of the original contents and packaging. "Wear and tear" refers to any damage that was not present when the merchandise was received - rack mounting damage, scratches, dents, etc. "Contents" consist of any included parts and accessories, as well as the warranty card and manual, void of notes or markings. Packaging includes all inner and outer packaging, complete with the original barcode affixed. Items not returned in the condition described here may be subject to restocking fees (minimum 15% of the purchase price, as determined by our cost of replacing the missing items including a processing fee for this labor-intensive process) or refusal of the return. This fee may apply if you refuse delivery or as a result of delivery exceptions, as well as from a typical return. These conditions apply to all returns regardless of the reason for the return. A restocking fee will be charged for any defective item that is returned in damaged condition. Items returned without their original packaging will be assessed a $25 box fee.

How Long Does It Take To Receive a Refund?

Once our warehouse receives the returned merchandise, it can take up to 7-10 business days (Monday through Friday) for the return to process and an additional 12-15 business days for you to see the credit back to your account. Please note that if you are returning items on a payment plan and have kept other items on that same payment plan, the refund will be issued toward the remaining balance on that payment plan. If you are returning all items on the payment plan or if the order was paid in full, the refund will be issued back to the payment method used for the order.

** If you submitted your order via PayPal, please note that the refund may take up to 10-17 business days to arrive back to your PayPal account. **

Processing time may vary depending on daily return volume. Processing time may exceed 3-5 business days during January (typically our busiest month) and other times during the year when we are exceptionally busy.
