Sam Ash Direct Return Policy
Product Returns
We truly appreciate your business, and we want you to be 100% happy with your purchase. However, we know that one of the drawbacks of internet shopping is that you can’t try something before you buy it. That’s where our money-back guarantee comes in. If you are not completely satisfied with an item, for any reason, you can return it within 45 days of the shipping date for a complete refund of the merchandise price, subject to the limitations listed below.
If you have a problem or question of any kind, call us at 1-800-472-6274. We will do whatever it takes to put things right. Any item purchased from us can be returned to us, subject to the limitations listed, at our warehouse 7726 Cheri Court, Tampa, FL 33634 or save the shipping cost and return it to any Sam Ash Music Store location. In either case, no return authorization is required. Purchases made through third party marketplaces including Amazon, Google Express, Newegg, and Walmart cannot be returned to stores and must be sent to our Tampa warehouse.
Shipping Damage
Please do not accept any shipment if the packaging appears damaged in any way. Check your order on receipt to be sure everything is included and in proper working order. Hidden damage and missing items should be reported within 48 hours of receipt.
Shipping Costs on Returns
Except for damaged and defective items, you must pay any return shipping and, if we sent you your purchase with Free Shipping (free to you but not to us), we will deduct the outbound shipping cost from your refund as follows:
- Free Ground Shipping – we will deduct $10 from your refund
- Free 2nd Day Air Shipping – we will deduct $50 from your refund
- Free Truck Freight (on Oversized Items) – we will deduct $75 from your refund
Damaged and Defective Items
For obvious damage, just refuse the shipment and we’ll make it right. For hidden damage or defects, call our Customer Service at 1-800-472-6274 and we’ll send you a shipping label so you can return the item at our expense.
Conditions of Returns
Returns must be in original packaging, complete with blank warranty cards, owner’s manual, all included parts and accessories, and no sign of wear or abuse. Otherwise, you may be subject to a restocking fee, repair charge, or disqualification. Items must include all original packing materials and must be double boxed if we sent them double boxed.
