Stock Availability

Estimated delivery dates are displayed for every product. The date displayed is calculated based on stock availability and the estimated courier delivery time to your location.

When we have stock physically available in our own warehouses for immediate shipment, we will display an ‘in stock’ status on the product page.

When we do not have stock physically available in our own warehouse, we display an estimated delivery date based on how long it normally takes a supplier to deliver to us, or when we know the next delivery is arriving. Estimated delivery dates are updated constantly to reflect availability, and whilst every effort is made to ensure they are accurate, these are estimated and not guaranteed.

Book your own delivery date service

You can book your preferred delivery date using the calendar function in the shopping basket. Please note that this is not a guaranteed date, although we do deliver the vast majority of orders on the date selected.

If you live in a remote area it may take longer to deliver your order, and some delivery services may not be available. You will normally be advised if the delivery date and service needs to change when you log-in or enter your address details during the checkout.

If we need to change your delivery date for any reason, we will let you know in advance by email or SMS text.

VAT & Customs

Prices include VAT unless stated. We are registered for VAT in 20 countries, and the rate of VAT applied to your order will always be clearly shown. If you are ordering from outside the European Union, Norway or Switzerland, we will show the price we will charge excluding VAT, plus the total amount including VAT that we expect you will pay when the goods are delivered. Gear4music will not collect the actual VAT amount or any import duty payable – this will be collected by your local customs office, and Gear4music are not liable to pay any additional import charges that may be imposed by couriers or customs.
