Questions about Ordering:

What is the ordering process for public institutions purchasing on account?

Government or public institutions and authorities can order from us on account.

Please send your written order or quotation request on official letterhead as a PDF by email to schule@musicstore.de

When will my ordered goods arrive?

The order confirmation sent to your email address shows the estimated delivery date available at the time of ordering.

Has my order already been shipped?

As soon as your order has been shipped, you will receive a shipping confirmation including tracking number and invoice by email. This email is also sent for guest orders.

Can I change or cancel my order?

As we aim to ship your order as quickly as possible, changes or cancellations are only possible in exceptional cases depending on the processing status. Orders cannot be changed or cancelled online by yourself. Please contact us by phone or email at kundenservice@musicstore.de.

If cancellation is no longer possible, please refuse delivery if possible so the parcel is returned to us quickly.

Can I change my delivery address?

You cannot change the delivery address yourself in your customer account. Please contact us by phone or email so we can check whether a change is still possible.

Please note: For PayPal and Amazon Payment orders, changing the delivery address is not permitted. In this case, the order must be cancelled completely and placed again with the correct address.

Why can I not see my order in my customer account?

Only orders placed while logged in are displayed in your customer account. Unfortunately, guest orders cannot be added to your online account afterwards.

How do I receive my invoice?

The invoice is not included in the parcel. You will receive it by email together with the shipping notification. The invoice contains your invoice and customer number among other details.

If you placed your order as a registered user, the invoice is also available in your online account under "My Invoices". If you cannot find it there, you can request it at kundenservice@musicstore.de.

For data protection reasons, invoices can only be sent to the email address used when placing the order.

Where can I find a copy of my invoice?

Invoice copies are unfortunately not available in the customer account. You can request a copy by email at kundenservice@musicstore.de.

For data protection reasons, invoice copies can only be sent to the email address used when placing the order.


Questions about Returns:

How can I return items from my order?

We require your invoice, order or reference number, the item numbers concerned and the reason for the return. You can provide this information by email or phone.

For returns within Germany, we provide a prepaid return label for items costing at least EUR 40.01 and weighing no more than 31.5 kg. For items below EUR 40.01, return shipping costs must be paid by the customer.

If the return exceeds 31.5 kg, the parcel must be collected by UPS or a freight forwarding service. For international returns, customers bear the direct return shipping costs.

All information about returns can be found in our Cancellation Policy.

If you placed the order while logged in, you can often request the return directly through your customer account.


Questions about Your Online Account:

Why can I not see my order in my customer account?

Only orders placed while logged into a customer account can be viewed there. Unfortunately, guest orders cannot be added afterwards.

Why is my in-store purchase not visible in my customer account?

Only online orders placed while logged into a customer account can be viewed in the customer account. Purchases made in the physical store cannot be displayed there.

Can I cancel an order in my customer account?

No, this is not possible. Please contact us by phone or email for cancellations.

Why can I not see a credit note in my customer account?

Unfortunately, it is currently not possible to display credit notes in the online account.

If you prefer a specific carrier, you can leave a note in the comment field during checkout. Additional charges may apply in some cases.
