How much is delivery and how long will it take?
To get an accurate shipping cost and choice of service levels, simply add the item you are interested in to the shopping cart. if an item is out of stock the use a similar item as often amps weigh roughly the same as do cabs. This will give you an estimate if needs be.
In the cart section there is a shipping calculator. Just add the address details asked for. Generally most international deliveries take 4-5 working days. UPS ground (US mainland only) is around 3-7 working days depending on the distance from us.
* (Mar '22) Covid has impacted some services beyond our control, usually customs hubs with international shipping. This means some shipments may be delayed if an area/country is experiencing issues.
** We reserve the right to use an alternative courier to the one selected at the time of ordering if we feel it is in the best interests to all parties. ie If one courier is experiencing delays or a spate of lost shipments we reserve the right to change to another courier. Usually most couriers charge around the same amout for services so rest assured we do not do this in the interests of profit or to mislead. Often for international deliveries this can often be beneficial in terms of import duties or administration charges/handling fees that the bigger couriers charge.
14 Day Return Period
Matrix took the decision very early on to sell our products directly to the customer without going through a dealer network (in most cases), cutting out the middle-man. This, coupled with our state of the art production methods, allow us to keep costs to a minimum and pass on the savings to you, our customer.
We want YOU, our customers to be happy with the product you have purchased and with that in mind, we offer a return period for you to make sure that the item you have bought is going to be the right one for YOU.
In the UK, the Distance Selling Regulations law originally gave customers a 7 day window to inform of the intention to return an item if not suitable. We took that and applied it to the rest of the world but went even further by offering a full 14 days. That 14 days still applies now and to all our customers wherever they are in the world.
That means you have 14 days from the date of receiving the item to decide whether to keep it or return it. This way you can try out the item with your own gear in a familiar sounding and comfortable environmet and make sure that what you have is right for you and the gear it's going to be used with. That is a much better way of choosing a product than some rushed 15 minute demo in a store with unfamiliar or badly set up gear. We know musicians can be a exacting bunch so we want to make sure what you buy is right for YOU and avoid the dreaded "buyers remorse"
We think 14 days is plenty of time to make sure our products are exactly the right choice for you but If for any reason your are unhappy with the goods, contact us and we'll guide you through the process of booking the item in to receive a returns number. It's important to keep the item you have in "as new" condition and with the original packaging. Any damage or marks may be liable to a "restocking fee" dependent on the level of them. Use a reputable courier to ship the products back to us as the item remains your responsibilty until it is back with us. Any damage in transit is unfortunately your responsibilty also during the return so make sure the item is insured also. Once you've returned the product to us in its original packaging and condition and we will provide a full refund (less the initial shipping). Refunds can only be made by the method originally used to pay for the goods. Credit/debit card refunds will be processed immediately, once we have received the goods and inspected them.
International Delivery
As stated, all our products now ship from our factory in Idaho, USA. Some countries may levy customs charges and/or taxes which are beyond our control and the responsibilty of the buyer. If unsure check with your local government department as to the amount that may be liable or use a customs calculator website to give an idea of what may be due.
*Australia - Currently (Oct 22)We have suspended shipping to Australia unfortunately due to stock issues.
** UK & EU - Matrix operated a UK factory until Dec 2020. Given the impact of Covid and also changes to export rules brought by Brexit with regard to the EU, it was felt that goods would be shipped direct from the USA rather than the UK. Good to the UK and EU will unfortunately incur import duty (as would anything from the UK to the EU now new rules are inplace). As of Oct 22 we have suspended shipping to the UK due to stock issues.
***Due to customs, legal, regulatory and certain practical restrictions applicable to orders placed for international delivery, some of our products may not be available for delivery to certain destinations outside the USA. Matrix Amlification LLC. reserves the right to define what can and cannot be delivered to which destination.
