If you believe there is an error in your shipping quote, or the checkout is not returning any shipping quotes, feel free to contact us before completing checkout – we will get a personalised quote for you.

We ship with both Australia Post and a range of couriers. If your order is sent via courier, a signature will be required upon delivery. If no one is home to receive and sign for your order when it arrives, the courier will leave a card with redelivery and/or pickup instructions. If you require a signature upon delivery, please contact us. Additional charges may apply depending on delivery location. Covid update: couriers have the authority to leave your delivery unattended if they deem it safe to do so, even if your order was marked as signature required. Unfortunately we cannot guarantee that your order will not be left unattended due to this, so we recommend nominating a business address for delivery where possible.

If you list a PO Box as your delivery address, your order will be shipped with Australia Post as couriers do not deliver to PO Boxes. These orders must fit within size restrictions – large & bulky items cannot be shipped with Australia Post.

We reuse packaging wherever possible, therefore your product(s) may not arrive in their original shipping cartons. So don't panic if that Epiphone guitar you ordered arrives in a Squier box!

 

Dispatch

If your order is being shipped, it will be dispatched from our retail store in Annandale, NSW, 2038. We endeavour to get all orders shipped same or next business day, however please allow up to 3 business days for your order to be dispatched.

 

Shipping Times & Delays

If you require your order urgently, we can make sure your order is shipped with a courier or with Australia Post Express Post. Please contact us to organise. Additional charges may apply depending on delivery location.

Once your order has left our store, it is no longer in our hands and we cannot be held responsible for any shipping delays. Please allow for shipping delays, particularly during busy times such as holidays.

 

Tracking

Once your order has been dispatched, you will receive an email with tracking information so you can stay updated on your order’s journey to you. Please note that your tracking number may not show any results until the courier has picked up and scanned your order (usually next business day after being booked in by us). If you haven't received your tracking information, please check your junk mail folder in case our email landed there, and add us to your safe senders list so you don't miss any order updates.

 

Damaged in Transit

Please check your package thoroughly before signing for it, and do not sign if you suspect that it is damaged, as signing for a delivery means you have received it in good order and any damage is no longer the courier’s responsibility. Contact us immediately if your order arrives damaged.

 

Click & Collect / In-Store Pickup 

You can pick up your order from our retail store at 141 Parramatta Road, Annandale, NSW, 2038 during our regular business hours. Please allow time for us to prepare your order before collection – we will send you an email when it is ready for pickup. Most orders are ready within 2 hours! If you can't find your pickup ready notification, please check your junk mail first.

Please bring your confirmation email, valid ID and the card you used to make the purchase. You must let us know in advance if you are organising another person to collect your order on your behalf, and they must show their ID.

Orders that have not been picked up after 2 weeks will be returned to stock and payment will be refunded, unless you have arranged otherwise with us. 

 

International Shipping

We currently only provide international shipping for second-hand instruments (marked “Pre-Loved”). Please contact us if you would like an international shipping quote. Any import duty, taxes, fees etc. are the responsibility of the buyer. Please be aware of your country’s import duty and/or restrictions before purchasing.

We do not under any circumstances undervalue the purchase price of the instrument on customs forms.

Please note that guitars that have rosewood components will have a shipping delay after payment as we must obtain a CITES certificate for them to be able to be imported/exported due to strict CITES restrictions on rosewood.
