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

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 equipment, 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 Return Policy

Our 30-day money-back 100%-satisfaction guarantee allows you to return almost any item for almost any reason with no restocking fees or other penalties. Details

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 an inventory about 50 times bigger than a typical musical instrument retail store, chances are we have what you're looking for. 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).

Immediate Shipment

You deserve immediate accurate shipment - and zZounds delivers. Did you ever understand why, when you offer to purchase something, some companies don't ship your order to you that same day? 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 or email. We pay these musicians to work for you: to give you honest product advice and assist you should any problem arise with your order. They are NOT paid commission. 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 SM58. They know how to help you because they share your dreams. Contact Us

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

2. We guarantee the lowest price

If we don't already have the lowest price, just send us a link to any legitimate competitor's offer, and we'll beat their price as long as we're not losing money on the deal.

To submit a request for a lower price, click "Seen it for less?" on any product page. We answer most lowest price requests within two hours. For extra peace of mind, you also have 30 days after your purchase to find a lower price; if you do, we'll refund the difference.

3. You'll get your gear fast

Because we have two well-situated warehouses--one on each coast--nearly three- quarters of the US population is located within our two-day shipping zones. Plus, we keep both warehouses well stocked with all the most popular products, so you'll usually get your gear fast without having to pay more for expedited shipping.

In fact, zZounds offers free two-day delivery on many of our best-selling products!

4. We make returns super easy

You have 30 days to try your gear at home, in your practice space or studio. If you're not absolutely in love with the sound you're getting, just let us know. We'll promptly arrange for an exchange or a refund without the hassles or hidden charges you face with some of our competitors. If there's something wrong with the gear you bought from us, we'll email you an electronic return label so you can return it easily and free of charge.

5. Our customer service is consistently rated the best

zZounds customer service is consistently rated at or near the top on every major comparison shopping website--probably because we only hire experienced musicians with outstanding customer service skills to work in our call center, and they don't work on commission. To us, this is our most meaningful measure of success. zZounds has served over a million customers since 1996, and they're the only critics whose reviews really matter to us.
