Returns & Store Policies

30 Day Worry-free Warranty

Metro Sound and Music offers a 30 day warranty that begins on the shipment date. This warranty covers defective merchandise. If your item is defective please contact us within 30 days of the shipment date detailing the issues with your item. We are a professional repair shop and once your return has been authorized we will cover the return shipping cost, repair cost, and the shipping cost of the repaired or replacement item. If the item cannot be repaired or replacement is not available, then you will be given a voucher for store credit in the amount of the original item's purchased price. A 20% restocking fee will be applied for items found to be falsely described as defective.

5 Day No Questions Asked Return Policy

Metro Sound and Music offers a 5 day no questions asked return policy beginning on the day your item is delivered. The buyer pays for the return shipping and will receive a voucher for store credit in the amount of the original item's purchased price.

Abuse of Return Privileges

We understand that a solid and honest return policy and warranty are important for you to have confidence in your purchase. We want to make sure our customers never get stuck with a wrong piece of gear. Unfortunately, there are those who take advantage of such policies and warranties, so we reserve the right, for those who violate the spirit of our return policy with excessive returns, to limit or suspend their return privileges.
