Upon our receipt of item at Badges Drum Shop, credit will be applied to your account according to the form of the original payment.

Please do not send your purchase to the manufacturer. All returns and exchanges of items purchased through Badges Drum Shop must be processed by Badges Drum Shop.

Badges Drum Shop reserves the right to limit or suspend the return privileges for anyone we believe to be abusing return privileges with excessive returns.

Refunds:
Once your return is received and inspected, we will send you an email to notify you that we have received your returned item. We will also notify you of the approval or rejection of your refund. If your return is approved, then your refund will be processed, and a credit will automatically be applied to your credit card or original method of payment. Buyer receives a full refund in their original payment method less any shipping costs and a 10% restocking fee. It typically takes a few days for your refund to be processed and posted by your bank.

Exchanges:
We only replace stock items and only if they are defective or damaged. If you need to exchange it for the same item, send us an email at info@badgesdrumshop.com and send your item to: Badges Drum Shop LLC, 127 West Main Street, Mason OH 45040, United States.

Warranty Returns:
Warranty returns must be accompanied by a Return Authorization Number (RA#) as required by most manufacturers. Prior to returning an item, please email us at info@badgesdrumshop.com to obtain an RA#. If the manufacturer requires it, photographic evidence of the problem may be requested before an RA# can be issued. If this is the case, Badges Drum Shop will advise.

Damage Claims:
Badges Drum Shop goes the extra mile to pack with care for safe travels, so shipment damage is rare. If, however, you received a damaged order, please keep all packaging and the damaged goods as they were received, as photographs may be required for claims processing. Do not dispose of any shipment materials or goods before the claim is complete.

Gifts:
- If the item was marked as a gift when purchased and shipped directly to you, you’ll receive a gift credit for the value of your return. Once the returned item is received, a gift card or gift certificate will be mailed to you.
- If the item wasn’t marked as a gift when purchased, or the gift giver had the order shipped to themselves to give to you later, we will send a refund to the gift giver.

Return Shipping:
- Send your product to: Badges Drum Shop LLC, 127 West Main Street, Mason OH 45040.
- You will be responsible for paying for your own shipping costs for returning your item.
- Shipping costs are non-refundable. If you receive a refund, the cost of return shipping will be deducted from your refund. If your order qualified for free shipping, the original shipping cost will be deducted from your refund or credit.
- All returned items are the responsibility of the purchaser until received safely and completely at Badges Drum Shop. We cannot guarantee that we will receive your returned item. We suggest using a reputable shipper that provides tracking information and insuring the package for the original purchase price.
