No Compromises - More for Your Music at zZounds

You don't have to compromise with zZounds. You get More for your Music: the lowest prices AND the best service in the musical instrument and equipment business. Period.

You're saying - "Sure you do! Everyone says that!" Well here's how you can be sure...

How can you be sure zZounds has the lowest prices?

Lowest Price Guarantee

If you see a lower price before you place your order, we'll beat it. Details

30-day Lowest Price Protection After Your Purchase

If you see a lower price within 30 days of your purchase, we'll refund you the difference. Details

Spy Reports

Spy Report allows you to report having seen a lower price on a specific product. You get back instructions by email on how to purchase the item on our website at an even lower price. The Spy Report is a price matching system pioneered by zZounds several years ago to ensure you never have to pickup a phone or interact with someone personally just to get a price matched! We put an end to sleezy haggling and replaced it with a simple, convenient process. Of course, if you want to pick up the phone, you can - and we'll take care of you with the same low price either way.

Super Low Shipping Costs

You get free shipping on many items - and you never get last-minute surprise shipping costs. We show you your shipping costs almost everywhere we show you a product on the site. We want you to see what you'll pay because we lose a lot of money giving you the best possible shipping costs. And we never want you to feel tricked when you shop at zZounds.

No Sales Tax Collected

We do not collect sales tax except where required by law. (We only collect tax for packages shipped to New Jersey.)

But We Don't Cut Corners...

Many don't believe we can offer these low prices on new gear. But as one of the largest suppliers of top-brand musical instrument and equipments, it is highly efficient for our suppliers to do business with us. Not surprisingly, the prices we pay for the products you want reflects that efficiency. And we can pass those savings along to you and still have enough resources to guarantee you the best service...

How can you be sure zZounds has the best service?

zZounds consistently outscores its most frequently shopped competitors on the BizRate.com "Overall" consumer rating - based on unbiased, independent customer surveys (as measured for recent periods).

In fact, zZounds rated so well with BizRate.com that we were recognized with the prestigious "Circle of Excellence Award"! Over 3000 quality, consumer-rated online merchants from the BizRate Shopping Search Engine were considered for the awards. The awards are based on the direct feedback, collected at the point-of-sale and after delivery of goods, from customers concerning seven key satisfaction metrics including: Overall Satisfaction, Product Selection, Ease of Finding Products, Repurchase Intent, Product Met Expectations, On-time Delivery and Customer Support.

What are some of the reasons for our customer happiness?

30-day Hassle-Free Money-Back 100%-Satisfaction Guarantee

New Top-Brand Gear From An Authorized US Dealer

You get top-brand gear, new from the factory, from an authorized US dealer. We occasionally have opportunities to buy B-stock merchandise to offer at special discounts, but we always identify the merchandise clearly as B-Stock or Factory Resealed. Unless it says otherwise, it's new from the factory. Details

Huge Selection - IN STOCK

With highly accurate realtime information on the website showing you which products are in stock at all times, you can be certain when you order an instock product that you won't face a surprise delay. With realtime information on when out-of-stock products are expected back in our warehouse, you can know what to expect even when we can't keep up with demand on a particular item (though please note that information on expected future availabilty is only accurate as what our suppliers tell us).

We didn't! You deserve your order immediately - so we built a state-of-the-art technology and distribution center that's standing by to ship your order today. Details

Personalized Service from Musicians

At zZounds you get personalized service from musicians - by toll-free call, email, or live chat.

These musicians will understand your lifelong dream of owning a Gibson Guitar, and they'll only ask you for an item number so they can help you faster - not because they've never heard of a Marshall Stack or a Digi 002. They know how to help you because they share your dreams. Contact Us
