British Audio, aside from being a music retail store, is an authorized warranty service center for over 70 brands of amplifiers, instruments and pro-audio gear. We fully inspect and video document all electronic equipment prior to shipment. We do not accept returns on items that are no longer wanted or desired by the customer. If an item arrived to you damaged, you must file a claim with the shipping carrier used to ship the item. We cannot accept returns unless there is clear and visible negligence on our behalf. 

Items we sell on this site are items that we are authorized to repair. If an item you received does not power on or has other issues electronically, excluding damaged items, we are more than happy to oblige a warranty repair on your item. Warranty shipping must be covered both ways by the customer. 

Amps

Amplifiers may only be returned with prior authorization from British Audio. This is a case by case process. Not all returns are guaranteed. Returns without authorization will result in the customer being held responsible for all shipping fees and will not receive a refund. All amps meeting the return criteria will be charged a 15% restocking fee. If you are returning your amp to be repaired, you will be responsible for shipping both ways. Amps cannot be returned if they were damaged in shipping. A claim must be filed with the shipping carrier to receive compensation for your damaged items. We will refuse all unauthorized shipments and they will be returned to you at your expense.

Please note that we will require documentation, photos and videos of all amplifiers prior to an RMA(Return Merchandise Authorization) being issued to you. This is for our records.

If your instrument arrives and has clear issues unrelated to shipping damage we will review the documentation and video evidence provided to us and will make a decision based on our findings.
