Hi, and welcome to Guitar Core!


Shipping Rate Increase

Due to a UPS increase for fuel, effective May 1, 2008, our shipping rates have changed as follows:

  •  $0.00-$49.99 = Actual UPS rate charged
  • $50.00+ = FREE*
    Code: FREESHIP50

  • *FREE
    for all store items EXCEPT Bags & Stagerig carts.


    Guitar Core is a factory outlet store where you'll find great accessory closeouts at low prices and FREE shipping over $50


    WHAT WE SELL
    :

    Some of the items, like electronics items, are marred or scratched and can't be sold in stores but they are perfectly good! Some are refurbished and still work great! Others are discontinued/closeout and clearance items. Still others, we've been told, are difficult (and sometimes, impossible) to find. Anything that is "refurbished" or "marred/scratched" will state so in the description.

    SHIPPING TO CONTIGUOUS UNITED STATES:
    Free UPS Ground shipping for a merchandise total of $50 or more to the 48 contiguous/continental United States and District of Columbia ONLY (AL, AZ, AR, CA, CO, CT, DE, DC, FL, GA, ID, IL, IN, IA, KS, KY, LA, ME, MD, MA, MI, MN, MS, MO, MT, NE, NV, NH, NJ, NM, NY, NC, ND, OH, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VT, VA, WA, WV, WI, WY).

    SHIPPING TO MILITARY ADDRESSES:
    To support our men and women in uniform, shipping on any merchandise amount is given FREE to Military APO/FPO addresses (AP, AE, AA, FP).

    FREE SHIPPING POLICY/OTHER SHIPPING:
    For orders over $50 to the 48 contiguous states, the District of Columbia and US and Military addresses (AP, AE, AA FP) mode of shipment is either UPS Ground or First Class/Priority Mail ONLY.

    Upgrading to air/rush services to anywhere will require full payment for shipping charges with no discount alloted. We offer the following UPS Air Services: UPS 3 Day Select®, UPS 2nd Day Air®, UPS Next Day Air Saver® and UPS Next Day Air® (some services may not be available in all areas).

    UPS Ground items are shipped out in approximately 3-4 business days. This is only an approximation and not a guarantee. If you need rush service, you must select one of the UPS services that will be more expensive, but will allow you to receive your item sooner.

    As stated above, orders are usually shipped in 3-4 days, but it is also dependent on availability of stock and warehouse flow, and may take up to 10 business days to ship. We do not ship on weekends or holidays

    TAX:
    We charge New York State tax at checkout for products and shipping as required by the state. Tax is configured by zip code. If you have a question or feel you were over- or undercharged for tax and you need to have it changed on your order, please write to: info@guitarcore.com and give your order number, name and address and 5-digit zip code. Your order will either debited or credited for the appropriate amount.

    SHIPPING TO OTHER US STATES & TERRITORIES:
    For Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Guam, the Canal Zone and the Mariana Islands, shipping is calculated for First Class/Priority Mail, or you may choose one of the UPS offered Air Services. Alaska residents may also choose UPS Ground services, if available. Not all services are available to all areas. If you choose a service that is not available (such as Next Day Air Saver®) it will not add a shipping amount to your order. If this occurs, please choose another shipping method.

    INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING:
    We're very sorry, but due to customs constraints and contractual agreements with foreign distributors, GUITAR CORE DOES NOT SHIP OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES AND ITS TERRITORIES. Please accept our apologies. For a store that may carry some of these items in your country, please write to:
    info@guitarcore.com. You may purchase most pick items at www.musiciansfriend.com Musician's Friend ships to all continents, except for Africa. For those of you who speak German, you can try tonetoys.com ... here's the direct link for D'Andrea products: www.tonetoys.com

    RETURNS:
    All items are returnable for exchange or credit within 30 days except for PICKS (see below**). In order to return an item, please write to: info@guitarcore.com
    for an RA#. (Any item received without an RA# will be sent back to you via Parcel Post without insurance nor delivery confirmation.) When you write, you will receive explicit instructions on how to return your items (i.e., address, packaging, etc.).

    **PLEASE NOTE: No refunds or returns on PICKS; exchanges for incorrect or damaged merchandise ONLY and reshipment for non-receipt of merchandise ONLY (latter is pending UPS investigation). Picks may be exchanged within 30 days for the correct item by contacting us at the above email address and obtaining an RA#.

    Please Note:
    Credit cards are charged upon receipt of your custom imprint order.
    For all other orders, cards are charged upon shipment.

    ANOTHER PLEASE NOTE:

    Due to an extremely high level of unsolicited calls, we do not publish our phone number. It used to be available to anyone who placed an order, but due to several customers not following instructions and abusing the privilege, we had to remove all phone references permanently. You now, unfortunately, only have email as your contact option. If you have an emergency, please email us and we will attend to it as quickly as possible.

    Email: info@guitarcore.com

    Please be assured that we will answer your emergency email as soon as we can (for a list of what is deemed an "emergency," please see your order confirmation page). Please accept our apologies for this inconvenience.

    We hope you find what you need at Guitar Core! Please let us know if we can be of any help!

    Thanks!
