Layaway:

If a customer wishes to place a guitar on layaway, they must put 30% of the total amount down. Thereafter payments must be made at least once a month in a pre-arranged amount. The total must be paid in full within 60 days. Consigned items are not eligible for layaway. If a customer decides they do not want the instrument, there is no cash or charge refunds for layaway items. Refunds will be given as store credit only.

Refunds on purchased items:

Customers have 48 hours to notify us if they are not satisfied with an instrument and make arrangements to return it themselves. Customers always pay shipping BOTH ways when receiving or returning instruments. Instruments must be returned in original condition with no scratches, or damage otherwise. If any damage has been inflicted to the instrument a full refund CANNOT be guaranteed. Any processing fees withheld by the payment processing companies (ie. PayPal) will also be deducted from the refund.

Shipping:

All sales from Bernunzio Uptown Music are 100% on approval. The standard approval period is 48 hours, however exceptions can be arranged under certain circumstances. Customers are responsible for all shipping charges. In case of a return we will refund the entire amount less the shipping charges and processing fees. Our standard shipping method is FedEx ground but we also ship by UPS, USPS and DHL. 
In rare cases, an item could be accidentally damaged by the carrier. If your item is damaged during shipping, notify us by e-mail within 2 days of receipt with pictures and a brief description of any damages. We will then file a damage claim and provide you with a prepaid return shipping label for the damaged item. As soon as we receive the damaged item and verify the damage, we will ship out a new item at no cost to you.

All returns require that you contact Bernunzio Uptown Music prior to making the return so that we can advise you how to proceed. If you wish to return an item, please contact info@bernunzio.com. Once you have obtained all return instructions from us, the item must be returned within a period of two days, or the return will not be accepted.
