Returns and Policies

All merchandise we ship is guaranteed to be in the stated condition. Please review our grading page prior to ordering to familiarize yourself with our practices.

Common reasons for returns, and what we do to try to avoid them:

"I ordered a record thinking it was a CD." We only sell vinyl records; we do not sell any CDs on this website! All are marked with the format in the title of the listing. You will see only 12 inch, LP, 2xLP, 2x12 inch, and a few more, but everything we have is vinyl. If you are looking for a CD, go to Walmart, Best Buy, or Amazon.

"I did not get the mix I was looking for." We provide a lot of information on our listings to help you decide. Most include the record release number, which can usually be referenced elsewhere to confirm the listing. The vast majority of our listings have all of the track information right on the listing, so it should be easier to determine which records have the mixes you are looking for. We also include pictures with many listings, which may aid your decision. If all of this fails, you can always call us and we can play a track for you over the phone, though if it is a mix easily obtained we encourage you to search your sound sample out elsewhere on the web.

"The record I ordered was not in the expected condition." Please visit our grading page prior to ordering from us to get an idea about our grading and some of the abbreviations we use. We provide very detailed grades of both the record and cover, and try to note anything unusual about the item condition. Be aware that certain pressings do not sound the best even if they are brand new, due to production flaws during the vinyl making process. We do try to stay consistent in our grading, so you can be confident that the record you order will be graded properly and similar to others of the same grade.


Refund/Return Policy

Metrowax Records will only accept returns of merchandise sold under the following conditions:

Timely communication

Upon receipt, examine your order. If you have a problem with any aspect of your order, we require that there is communication with metrowax.com support about the issue within 7 days of receiving the order. If we have not been notified yet, and 7 days have passed, the item will no longer be eligible for a return or refund. Any credit given after 7 days have passed will be solely under the discretion of metrowax.com and will be in the form of merchandise credit and not a cash refund. Once a return has been initiated, the customer has one week to send the item back.

Defective or broken during shipping

If an item arrives broken, cracked, or severely warped due to damage during shipping, and is not noted in the item description, we will refund or replace the item. Similarly, if a new item or an item that looks problem free turns out to have a defect that affects the play of the record itself, or is unexpected, we will refund or replace this item. Please inspect and listen to your items within 7 days of receiving them, and we will give you a full refund in the event it is defective. We take many precautions to get you your order safely, and we are highly committed to this goal. However careful we may be, some light damage to the cover may be caused by the shipping process. If you require your item to be absolutely perfect, it is best not to purchase it through a mail order company such as us.

Error in the listing or the record does not match the listing

If we misrepresent an item in any of our listings, we will offer a resolution in the form of store credit or refund, depending on the situation, and at the sole discretion of metrowax.com. You are expected to do supporting research if needed to determine whether or not the release we are selling suits your needs. Feel free to contact our support department if you have any questions prior to purchase. If we have misrepresented the grading of the item, or if you were sent a release that does not match the description, we will offer a store credit or refund. You have 7 days from the time of receipt to make any complaints.

Processing error

If metrowax.com makes any error while packing your order, and it is not the fault of the customer, we will issue a refund or credit at our discretion. If the customer has ordered the wrong item by their actions on the website, metrowax.com will not be held responsible and will not refund or credit in this case.

Please note

In all cases of a return, complaint, or dispute of any kind, we ask that you contact us prior to taking action. Unauthorized returns will not be accepted, and chargebacks and paypal claims are not tolerated as a means to resolve your dispute. There is no need to proactively file a paypal claim just because your item is a week late. Customers who do this are viewed as suspect and will likely be banned for just one instance. We cannot afford to have our merchant credibility compromised by customers that are not communicative.

We accept returns for exchange or refund within 7 calendar days after delivery of the product. At our sole discretion after 7 calendar days, we will offer an exchange or store credit only. Items must be in an unaltered and unused condition to obtain a refund. To obtain a refund, items must be returned

  • -without showing signs of excessive wear or damage
  • -within 7 calendar days of the delivery date (after 7 days no returns are allowed)

Refunds are contingent upon inspection of item(s) once we receive it.

We reserve the right to charge a 15% restocking fee for any cash returns.

Customer is responsible for all shipping costs if seller is not at fault.
