*Above shipping rates are applicable to the vast majority of Australian addresses (our courier network covers 95% of addresses) however some rural and remote addresses may require additional shipping charges above the flat rate. 

*While most amplifiers (both new and second hand) fall within the range of the above shipping charges, some exceptions do exist when dealing with large speaker cabinets, exceptionally heavy and/or bulky combo amplifiers. Additional shipping fees may be required. Please keep this in mind when shopping online.

**Please note, express shipping options are only applicable to items which can be sent via the Australia Post Express Parcel Network (these items are typically pedals, accessories, some small amplifiers & some small instruments). 

Should an order be made with an express option selected which falls outside of these parameters, the cost incurred shall be refunded to the customer upon packing of the order.
 

We pride ourselves on getting your order out ASAP (typically packed and booked within the business hour!). However, we cannot be held responsible for any delays once the item has been handed over to a courier service. Most deliveries of items that we have in stock occur within 7 days with most East Coast capital city deliveries taking 2-3 days. Please note, public holidays, long weekends, lockdowns and COVID restrictions can also overwhelm these systems, 

Special Orders, Custom Orders, and non-stock items that are ordered have an estimated delivery date. We cannot not be held responsible if these dates are not met by our suppliers, and a failure to deliver goods by a particular date will not be accepted as a reason for an order cancellation unless agreed to by Echo Tone Guitars. Payments made on Pre-Orders are refundable as store credit should needs change. 

For international shipping, please note that that any additional customs duties, import taxes or any other expenses which may arise as a result of an international transaction, are not included in the shipping cost and are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest you contact your local customs office to establish if any duties or taxes will be payable on your purchase.
