Pricing

All advertised prices are subject to change*. This includes in stock, out of stock, and when ordering new stock, either for special orders or shop stock.

Price Match Policy

At Sky Music, we’re happy to review price match requests* if you can find a lower price in Australia**. Items must fit the following criteria:

- Exactly the same item, i.e. same colour, paint, model, style or size etc.

- Item must be in stock at the competitor’s store.

- Item cannot be B-Stock, scratch & dent or similar

- Item cannot be a part of an existing sale or a promotional sale, i.e. further discounts because of a sale, clearance or similar.

We have a Price Match request form linked to every product on our online store, so you can request price matches online. Price Match requests will be responded to within 24 hours, and in the event your price match fits all criteria and is approved, you will receive a discount code to add at the Checkout for our matched price.

* Approved price matches and price quotes from Sky Music staff are valid for one week from the date of the quote. Expired price match approvals and quotes will be re-assessed.

** We do not price-match third party seller websites such as Amazon, eBay, AliExpress or similar. If you're unsure, contact us!

• Accepted payment method for pricing is subject to change and is at Sky Music's discretion. Third-party payment systems including, but not limited to ZIP Pay, ZIP Money and AfterPay may not be accepted for special pricing including but not limited to price matches.

Lay-By & Special Order items

Yes! We offer lay-by on any item you may wish to buy in-store or over the phone if you’d like to secure an item. Special Order items (i.e. products ordered in especially for you) are considered a lay-by and adhere to the same rules as lay-bys, stated below.

We take a 20% non-refundable deposit on any lay-by and you have three months to complete payment on your purchase. In the event of a change of mind or if you’re unable to complete payments, the initial 20% deposit is forfeit, but any further payments will be refunded immediately.

- For special order items, a 20% non-refundable deposit is taken when placing the order, and your three-month lay-by begins when the item arrives in-store, which you will be notified of. In the event of a change of mind or if you’re unable to complete payments, the initial 20% deposit is forfeit and any further payments will be refunded immediately.

- Once the 20% non-refundable deposit is taken, we cannot alter the sale price after the price is agreed on and deposit has been paid. Paying a deposit is agreement to a sale price.
