Boedo Percusion® is a percussion instrument manufacturing workshop. All our products are made through artisanal processes, many of them custom-made, personalized and adapted to each client’s specific requirements, considering aesthetic, technical and functional needs.
Our instruments are not mass-produced retail goods. They involve manufacturing time, manual craftsmanship, high-value materials and construction criteria inherent to the trade.
For this reason, this Returns and Refunds Policy establishes strict, clear and mandatory conditions aimed at ensuring purchase responsibility, protecting the production process and preventing misuse or fraudulent situations. These conditions apply both to purchases within Argentina and to international purchases, with the additional precisions established in Section 7 for the latter.
By making a purchase at Boedo Percusion®, the customer declares having read, understood and expressly accepted this Returns and Refunds Policy.
In the case of custom-made or personalized products, acceptance of this policy is considered reaffirmed at the time of confirming designs, measurements, texts, colors or any specification prior to the start of the production process.
2.1 Custom-made or personalized products
Including, among others: personalized bass drums, customized repiques, instruments with special measurements, graphics, colors, texts, requested tunings or any product manufactured to order.
Only exceptions:
In such cases, the product will be technically evaluated and repair or replacement will be offered, as applicable. Acceptance of a claim does not imply an automatic refund.
2.2 Cymbals (special regime)
Cymbals are products manufactured using high-cost materials and extensive artisanal processes.
Claims will only be evaluated in the event of verifiable structural defects, notified within the established time frame.
Any replacement or repair is subject to prior technical evaluation. The product must be returned for inspection before any reshipment.
2.3 Standard products
For non-personalized products, returns may be evaluated only if the product:
Associated shipping costs shall be borne by the customer. For international purchases, see also Section 7 – International Purchases.
The customer is responsible for documenting receipt of the order, including the condition of the external packaging, internal protections and the product itself.
Any damage, shortage or irregularity must be reported within 48 hours after receipt, accompanied by photos and/or videos.
After this period without notification, the product will be considered received in conformity, and no subsequent claims will be accepted.
Transportation and logistics services are third parties independent of Boedo Percusion®. Damages caused during transit exceed our responsibility, especially when carriers do not provide coverage, insurance or replacement.
Manufacturing defects must be reported within 10 calendar days from first use, accompanied by clear evidence.
In such cases, an initial attempt will be made to reach an agreement that benefits both parties (repair, replacement or alternative solution).
If no mutual agreement is reached, Boedo Percusion® will assume full responsibility for the associated costs.
Purchases made by clubs, marching groups, unions, institutions or bulk orders are considered special operations.
Claims must be submitted within 48 hours after receipt. After this period, the goods will be deemed accepted in conformity.
The customer declares having read the full product description, understanding that the instruments are handcrafted, and that minimal variations inherent to manual work may exist.
It is the customer’s responsibility to resolve any questions prior to purchase. Claims based on subjective expectations, minor aesthetic differences or personal interpretations will not be accepted.
For purchases made outside Argentina, all general conditions established in Sections 1 through 6 of this policy apply without exception (personalized products with no returns except for manufacturing defects, the special regime for cymbals, standard product conditions, etc.). The following are additional precisions specific and exclusive to international transactions.
7.1 Customs duties and import taxes
The quoted shipping cost covers transportation to the destination country only. Any customs duty, import tax, customs charge or clearance fee —whether on the original purchase or on any return— is the buyer's exclusive responsibility. Boedo Percusion® has no control over each country's customs policy and cannot anticipate these costs.
7.2 Applicable timeframes
For international orders, the timeframes established in Sections 3 and 4 of this policy are counted from the buyer's actual receipt of the package, not from the shipping date:
After these periods without notification, the same criterion in Section 3 applies: the product will be considered received in conformity, and no subsequent claims will be accepted.
7.3 Change-of-mind returns
Returns due to buyer's remorse are not accepted on international transactions, given the disproportionate cost of return shipping between countries. In these cases, only the manufacturing-defect regime in Section 4 applies, based on evidence (photos and/or video) —physically returning the instrument is not required unless Boedo Percusion® expressly requests it for technical evaluation.
7.4 Refunds — currency and fees
Every approved refund is issued in the same currency and through the same payment method used in the original purchase (US Dollar, Brazilian Real, Euro or other, as applicable). Boedo Percusion® does not apply an additional fee of its own for issuing a refund, but is not responsible for fees, withholdings or exchange-rate differences applied by the buyer's bank, card, financial institution or the payment gateway used, nor for exchange-rate fluctuation between the purchase date and the refund date.
If the payment gateway applies any fee or withholding on the refund, that cost will not be absorbed by Boedo Percusion® and will be deducted from the refunded amount.
Boedo Percusion® reserves the right to evaluate each case in accordance with this policy and its internal control processes.
This policy aims to protect artisanal work, the materials used and to ensure clear, responsible and transparent commercial relationships, both for domestic and international operations.
