Items must be returned in original, as-shipped condition with all original packaging and no signs of use. Buyer assumes responsibility for all return shipping costs unless the item was not received as described.
Special Conditions
Call us within 72-hours if you wish to return the instrument. We will refund the amount of the instrument less the cost of shipping and a 10% restock fee. Customer pays all shipping & insurance costs both ways unless otherwise agreed upon. Instruments must be shipped back to Dusty Strings, fully insured, in the same box, packaging, and via the same shipping service and method through which it was shipped. Your refund will be processed only after we have received and inspected the instrument. Please give us a call for details on how to safely pack your instrument for shipping.
IMPORTANT: If an instrument is returned to Dusty Strings and arrives damaged due to inadequate packing, the customer is responsible. We will notify you if the instrument arrives damaged.
Keep in mind that hundreds of instruments get shipped daily around the country and arrive safely. This is due to the design of the box and how it is packed. If the instrument arrives damaged, call as us as soon as possible and we’ll issue a damage claim with the carrier. Damage claims must be issued within 72-hours of delivery. You must save the box and all packing material as the carrier requires inspecting before honoring any claim. Not saving the box and packing material may compromise your or our ability to be compensated for any damages.
