We accept returns under the following terms and conditions:

All returns must be pre-approved and assigned a RETURN AUTHORIZATION NUMBER (RMA). This ensures and expedites any appropriate credits. DO NOT SHIP YOUR RETURN UNTIL YOU HAVE RECEIVED YOUR RMA NUMBER. Thank you. Click Here to request your RMA Number.

Pack the merchandise carefully, along with a copy of the invoice. Write your RMA number on the invoice and on the exterior of the package. Please notate on the invoice which items you are returning. Failure to include a notated invoice will result in a 10% research fee.

We recommend that you insure your return and use shipment tracking. We will not be responsible for damage or loss during return shipping.

We must receive your return within 10 days of the issuance of the RMA number. Returns received late will be charged a 10% late fee.

Returned items, such as mouthpieces, must be returned in such a condition that they can still be sold as new items, including the product-specific packaging such as mouthpiece boxes. All returned items must be unblemished, with no nicks, dents, gouges, scrapes, and/or scratches. Any damaged returns will be charged a minimum 50% fee (in addition to any applicable re-stocking fee).

Returned instrument parts, such as bells and leadpipes, must be returned in such a condition that they can still be sold as new items with no solder marks. Parts that have been purchased and installed are non-returnable.

Except in the case of an error on our part, ALL shipping costs for returns are the responsibility of the customer.

Except for error on our part or damage in shipping, all returns will be assessed a 10% per item cleaning/restocking fee.
