Policy Overview
Our return and exchange policy lasts 45 days from the date of purchase. If 45 days have passed since your purchase date, we are unable to offer a refund or exchange. To be eligible for a return, items must be unused and in the same condition in which they were received.
IMPORTANT: Certain product categories are excluded from this policy due to legal, health, or manufacturing restrictions. Please review the Non-Returnable Items section below before placing your order.
How to Return an Item
All returns must follow this procedure. Returns sent without a Return Authorization Number (RAN) will not be accepted.
Step 1. Email support@playmusic123.com or text (888) 285-5308 to request a Return Authorization Number (RAN). Include: (1) your order number, (2) the type of request — Return, Exchange, or Damage, and (3) any special instructions. We respond within 24 hours.
Step 2. Print the Return Authorization Number and place a copy inside your package.
Step 3. Repack the item securely in its original packaging in the same unused condition it was delivered.
Step 4. Attach your shipping label. Your label will be provided by the carrier you choose for the return.
Step 5. Ship the item to the address provided in your RAN confirmation. Include a copy of your receipt and RAN. For items valued over $75, we strongly recommend using a trackable shipping service or purchasing shipping insurance.
Refund Processing Time: Once your return is received and inspected, your refund will be issued to the original payment method. Please allow 10–15 business days for the refund to appear in your account. Processing times may vary depending on your bank.
