Acoustic Centre offers free shipping on all new items to most locations within Australia on all orders over. We also offer competitive Express shipping options at checkout.
Customers located in Western Australia, Northern Territory and Far North Queensland recieve free shipping on all accessory orders over $99, but will incur a flat rate instrument or large item shipping charge of $179 (or $299 for Express shipping).
Occasionally due to issues with delivering to remote or unusual destinations, we aren't able to offer free postage. We reserve the right to retract the offer if freight costs exceed 15% of your purchase. We will always notify you if there is an issue and offer a full refund or arrange alternative delivery options.
All strings and accessories will be shipped with tracking via courier or Australia Post. Other items including guitars and amplification equipment will be shipped using our courier service providers, with a tracking number and signature on delivery.

Will I receive the actual guitar shown on the website?
We endeavour to show the actual instrument in stock whenever possible, but the guitar in stock may differ slightly from the one shown on our website. Materials used can look different from guitar to guitar, including timber grain and colour, parts colours and finishing. If an instrument is a one-of-a-kind or preowned guitar, the picture will always be of the actual guitar in stock, but production models may have slight variations to the picture shown.
If you're after a particular look, feel free to email us at info@acousticcentre.com.au or send us a message through our chat service to request photos of the actual guitar in stock. We are more than happy to send through pictures of all in-stock guitars, to make your choice easier.
Please note that returns will not be accepted for variations in timber grain / colouring, finish variations and parts colouring, unless there is a fault with the instrument. If you have any questions at all regarding an instrument's appearance, just drop us a line - we're always happy to send photos, and if we have more than one instrument in stock you'll be able to choose the exact guitar that you receive!
Order Cancellations
Order cancellations that occur before shipping will incur a Cancellation Fee, a total of 3% of the total order excluding shipping. This is due to the banking fees that we incur on every transaction. We can not recover these fees from financial institutions, inlcuding Buy Now Pay Later services and PayPal. Order cancellations that occur after shipping has taken place will also incur any shipping costs that eventuate.
Delivery Times
All delivery times are estimates only. We cannot be held responsible for any delays that are outside of our control. Most deliveries of items that we have in stock occur within 7 days with most East Coast capital city deliveries taking 2-3 days. We endeavour to give you the most accurate information in relation to delivery times.
Special Orders, Custom Orders and non-stock items that are ordered have an estimated delivery date. We will 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 The Acoustic Centre.
