Damages and issues
Please inspect your order once you receive it and contact us immediately if the item is defective, damaged or if you receive the wrong item, so that we can evaluate and correct the problem.

Exceptions / non-returnable items
Strings and rosin may not be returned if they have been opened or used. Unfortunately, we cannot accept returns on sale items or gift cards.

Exchanges
The fastest way to ensure you get what you want is to return the item you have, and once the return is accepted, make a separate purchase for the new item.

Norway, EEA and European Union 14 day cooling off period
Notwithstanding the above, if the merchandise is being shipped in Norway, to the rest of the EEA, or to the European Union, you have the right to cancel or return your order within 14 days, for any reason and without a justification. As above, your item must be in the same condition that you received it, unopened and used, and in its original packaging. You’ll also need the receipt or proof of purchase and you must also inform us via email info@hardangerfiddles.com of your intent to return your item.

Refunds
We will notify you once we’ve received and inspected your return, and let you know if the refund was approved or not. Please note that items can be slow to arrive due to Norwegian Customs. If approved, you’ll be automatically refunded on your original payment method within 10 business days. Please remember it can take some time for your bank or credit card company to process and post the refund too.
