SHIPPING & INSURANCE
My purchase is over $200.00 why is there a shipping charge being applied?
Please note: Free shipping is applied to orders of $200 or more, 35 lbs or less by weight and volume. Please note that all shipping quotes, including all featured promotions, exclude the Northwest Territories, Yukon Territories, Newfoundland, Nunavut, Labrador and non-metropolitan areas as designated by Canada Post/Purolator. Orders to these locations need to be calculated by our shipper. All customers in these areas are advised to contact us at: Toll free:1-877-978-3837 or shipping@stevesmusic.com
What is 'shipping weight' and how is it calculated.
When a package exceeds a predetermined size, transport companies convert 'dimension' to 'weight'. The size of the package is measured and the following formula is applied to determine it's "shipping weight" {in inches} (length x width x height)/166= shipping weight. Very large objects (over 4 feet) are also subject to an oversize charge by the shipping companies.
As an example an acoustic guitar ships in a box averaging 47" x 23" x 7" = 7567/166 = 45.58 = 46Lbs Volume Weight.
Do I need to take insurance?
- The option to take insurance is yours to make and will be presented to you during the check-out process.
- Domestic shipments enjoy automatic insurance of up toone-hundred-dollars ($100.00) or the value of the shipment, whichever isless. If your order is over $100 and you want its delivery insured in full, take the insurance option.
- Once the package leaves our hands we no longer have control of nor are we responsible as to its handling. Westronglysuggest taking insurance, especially on more expensive and more fragile items.
If your package arrives visibly damaged you should refuse delivery.
We ship all parcels withAdult Signature Required.* When you sign for a package you are confirming with the carrier that the package arrived in good condition and terminates any insurance that may be in place.
Do NOT accept packages with visible signs of damage. While we do re-use boxes for environmental reasons they are always in good condition and paper wrapped.

When I try to pay with my credit card, why do I keep getting declined?
Presently Steve's™ Music only accepts credit cards issued by a Canadian Financial Institution.
The website does not accept debit cards.
As a measure to protect our customers against fraud, Steve's™ Music employs the 3DSECURE service for credit card transactions. If you have not previously set up a 3DSecure or VisaSecure account for your card you will be re-directed to your financial institution to do so on your first purchase.
The information you provide at the 3DSecure or VisaSecure site is between you and your issuing bank. Steve's™ Music does not receive any of this information. The information provided must exactly match the information associated with the credit card being used for the transaction. The Billing Address must exactly match the statements or the transaction will be denied.
The website declined my transaction but my statement says the transaction went though.
Occasionally the issuing bank will allow a transaction that 3DSecure will reject. In these cases the funds have been rejected by 3DSecure and are instantly returned to the issuing bank. Usually the funds revert back to your account within 48 hours although the banks tell us it could take from 3-5 business days. If you are unsure of what has happened you can contact us toll free Mon-Fri 10am-5pm EST
