How Do I Return a Product?
All returns and exchanges must be initiated through customer service return authorization.
Contact customer service through our website. Our customer service team will respond to your inquiry as quickly as possible. You will receive a return authorization number and instruments for return shipment from our team directly.
Please allow 3 – 7 business days in the event of a refund. Processing time may vary contingent on return volume.
What If My Product Was Damaged Upon Arrival?
A damaged or defective product may be returned for a full refund. Products are considered damaged or defective at the discretion of Martin Guitar. If damage is found to be caused by the consumer, this may affect the refund.
Aside from reported damages or defects, all returned items must be in their original condition, and shipped in their original packaging with no signs of wear, “dings” (surface damage), scrapes or scratches, and include all original manuals, booklets, accessories, etc. (if applicable). Returns must include a copy of the packing slip and reason for return.
Will I Be Charged Shipping Fees?
Return shipping charges are the responsibility of the consumer. If the product is deemed to be defective, Martin Guitar will assume responsibility for return shipping charges.
We understand unexpected things may happen in transit, so we recommend you insure your package when shipping back to us. If your return order sustained damage during shipping, please file a damage claim with your chosen shipping carrier and contact us through Customer Service.
Will I Be Charged a Restocking Fee?
You are responsible for all shipping and handling charges on returned items. However, if we determine that an item had a manufacturing defect, Martin will pay for return shipping. You bear the risk of loss during shipment. We therefore strongly recommend that you fully insure your return shipment against loss or damage and that you use a carrier that can provide you with proof of delivery for your protection.
Returns may be subject to a 10% restocking fee unless we determine in our sole discretion that the item has a manufacturing defect. All returns are subject to inspection. Items that are not in their original condition and exceed the damage claims described above may incur additional fees or be ineligible for return.
