Refund and Returns Policy

Overview

Our refund and returns policy lasts 30 days from the date of purchase or delivery (see below for how this applies to different types of purchases). After 30 days, we cannot offer a full refund or exchange unless your item is faulty.

To be eligible for a return, your item must be:

Unused
In the same condition that you received it
In its original packaging (where applicable)

This policy applies to both new and secondhand items, unless otherwise stated. Please note that all returns are subject to inspection.

Your Right to Cancel (for Online and Phone Orders)

If you placed your order online or over the phone, you have a legal right to cancel under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013.

You may cancel your order within 14 days of receiving (or having the opportunity to collect) the goods.
To cancel, you must contact us in writing within that 14-day period.
Once cancelled, you have 14 further days to return the item to us for a refund.

Please note:

We reserve the right to deduct from your refund any loss in value if the item is returned used, damaged, or without original packaging.
This cancellation right does not apply to in-store purchases.

Refunds

Once your return is received and inspected, we will email you to notify you of its status. If your return is approved, your refund will be processed back to your original payment method within 7–10 working days.

Late or Missing Refunds

If you haven’t received your refund:

Re-check your bank or card account.
Contact your card provider – processing times may vary.
Contact your bank – refunds can take a few days to appear.

If you’ve done all this and still haven’t received your refund, please contact us at info@guitarexperience.co.uk.
