Cancellation, Refund and Replacement Policy

Pledge Order Cancellation

A pledge can only be canceled while a project has not reached its goal. Once a project has reached its goal, we cannot accept any pledge cancellation requests.


Pre-order and Sell Order Cancellation

An order can only be canceled before it has been shipped. If your order has been dispatched for shipment, we cannot cancel it anymore.


Refund & Replacement

All sales are final, returns or exchanges are not accepted. If you receive a record that appears to have been damaged during shipping, please contact our support team immediately with an attached photo & video if possible. 

After we've confirmed the loss or damage of your purchase, we will either issue a full refund of the price paid (including shipping costs) or send a replacement copy of your purchase (stock permitting). Claims past 90 days of dispatch will not be considered.

Please note, this policy applies to customer purchases made on Qrates.com and using our shipping and storage facilities. It does not apply to purchases made via any third party services. In addition, this policy does not apply to Make Only projects wherein artists have their finished records and/or cassettes sent to a specified address of their choosing directly from our production partners.

For claims regarding damaged goods for Make Only projects, be sure notify our support team within 24 hours of receipt of your records or cassettes and include an attached photo or video detailing the damage in question. Claims for Make Only projects are dealt with on a case-by-case basis and are at the sole discretion of Qrates and its production partners.

Due to COVID-19 causing logistical complications such as delivery delays, we've extended our Refund & Replacement window to 180 days from the date of dispatch​ for purchases shipped on and after March 1, 2020. This will continue until we announce otherwise.
*The extension of Refund & Replacement is temporary and is subject to change without notice.

Damaged or Defective Items

Warping and/or minor cosmetic damage to a record will not be considered for return unless the warping causes skips and/or the record is not playable. Vinyl records will often come with minor warps or cosmetic imperfections caused during manufacturing which we can not be liable for.

Missing part/s of the record such as the vinyl, outer sleeve, and printed inner sleeve are eligible for refund or replacement consideration. However, plain paper inner sleeve, download card, overbag, and shrinkwrap will not be considered for refund or replacement.


Return to Sender

If your order is returned to sender, we can resend it to an address of your choosing. However, in these instances, you will be charged the cost of shipping from our shipping facility to your address.


Lost or Stolen Package

We will resend or refund the cost of the order once the maximum estimated delivery time has passed.

Due to COVID-19 causing logistical complications such as delivery delays, we would kindly ask that you allow an extra 2 weeks from the maximum estimated delivery times below for your parcel to arrive.
