Lowest Price Guarantee

Matt takes care of you before and after the sale. If you find a lower shipped price on any item we carry, give us a call and we’ll match it! If you find it after you’ve made your purchase simply show us a copy of the current ad, email, written quote or catalog within 7 days of your purchase and we’ll refund the difference. This excludes blowouts, discontinued merchandise, factory seconds, floor and demo models. Prices must be printed in a local or national ad. Products must be brand new in a factory sealed box.

72 Hour Approval Period for Refund, Merchandise Credit or Exchange

We very much appreciate your business and are glad you chose Matt’s Music Center for your purchase! We strive to provide quality, accurate advice, product descriptions and customer service from the beginning to the end of your purchase. However, we realize there are times when a return or exchange may be required. Please review our return policy below to help avoid unnecessary frustration and ensure that any exchanges or returns are processed in a smooth fashion.

Many of the “big box” music stores offer extended return policies of up to 60 days. While this may sound attractive, those stores have to resell the returned items and they usually sell them as brand new. Do you really want to buy a guitar or amp that a customer bought previously, used for 60 days and then returned? If another customer had your guitar or amp and gigged or recorded with it for two months before returning it to the store, then that’s two months of use on your new gear before it even gets to your door. We want you to get exactly what you pay for when you purchase from Matt’s Music and that means we need a return policy that is fair to everyone.

We want you to be completely happy with your purchase, so we offer a 72 hour approval period on most purchases (see exclusions below). The 72 hour approval period begins when your purchased item is delivered to your door. If after 72 hours you’re not happy with the item, just contact us via phone, email or live chat on our website to arrange for a return authorization (RA#) and return shipping instructions. Any package sent back without prior authorization will be refused.

Returns must be shipped back to us within 3 business days unless prior arrangements are discussed. Items must come back to us undamaged and in the same condition they were shipped out. All manuals, paperwork, cables, tremolo arms, wrenches, etc… must be included or full credit will not be issued. Any items not conforming to this policy will be subject to a restocking fee of 20% of the purchase price. 

Refunds will be issued minus all related shipping expenses, if free shipping was initially given, the cost we incurred to get the item to you will be deducted from your refund. A 4% fee will also be deducted from your refund which covers costs of credit card/Paypal fees we don’t get back. Those fees will be waived for full value exchanges. Any item advertised as “USED” can be exchanged up to 7 days for store credit or another item however no cash back given on used gear. We understand that sometimes 72 hours may not be enough time and we are willing to work with you and can sometimes make exceptions in certain cases to add a few days, but it must be discussed and agreed upon prior to purchase. 

Custom orders of any kind are non returnable and non refundable. We often charge a deposit before we will place a custom or special order. All special order deposits are NON REFUNDABLE, no exceptions.

Items not allowed to be returned:

Microphones, Harmonicas, In-Ear Systems and any other items that come into contact with your mouth or ears.

Guitar strings, blank media, and other disposable merchandise.

Guitar or bass pickups that have been installed or used in any way.

Payments for music lessons are non refundable, no exceptions

Early Order Cancellation

All deposits are non refundable. Lots of our products are special orders and in many cases your order has to be built for you at the factory. This is what makes a lot of our products special. Once your order is started, it’s being put together just for you. For this reason we ask that you don’t cancel your order after you place it with us. If for some reason you absolutely have to cancel your order with us, we will assess you a 25% cancellation charge. This amount is equal to 25% of your total order amount. Ask us before you place your order to see if what you’re purchasing is considered a special order.

Damaged Merchandise

Do not accept your shipment if the package shows any signs of external damage. After the item is returned to us we will ship you a replacement. If you receive incorrect or defective merchandise, please call 781-335-0700 within 2 days for a return authorization number.
