How does it work?
01
Sign up for a membership
Tell us what you want to borrow, and we’ll send you gear to start making music with.
02
Keep the gear as long as you like
When you want more, send it back and we’ll send you something else to play with.
03
But what if you fall in love with your new stuff?
No problem, you can buy it on the spot for way less than buying new.
GOT QUESTIONS? WE'VE GOT ANSWERS!
We are not a rent to own company but we do give you ways to earn toward purchases of gear that you are borrowing!
We periodically provide lots of other opportunities to earn points, like bonuses for refereals, social media shares, and writing reviews.
Check your plan to determine the number of points you’ll earn each month. The higher the plan, the more rewards you will get!
Accidents happen 😢. You can choose to purchase a Damage Protection plan for your gear that will cover any damage or excessive wear. Otherwise, you’ll be responsible to pay the cost of repair or replacement. Any gear that is lost (other than in shipping) will be automatically billed at standard cost to your credit card. Damage Protection plans do not cover loss.
It’s easy! You can request a return label directly from your borrow list simply by navigating to the item. If you’re running into issues you can request it from us either via our chat or contact form under https://buyorborrowmusic.com/contact/. Just place the gear back in the original packaging, slap the return label on over the original, and drop it off at your local shipping point. You can also schedule USPS or UPS pickups at your home to save a trip!
Most members are approved without the need for a security deposit! However, in some cases we may need to charge a refundable security deposit to activate your membership.
Our Opener and Pro memberships do not require credit checks. Instead, we use data from your registration payment to assess lending risk.
If your account will require a deposit a member of our team will contact you to discuss the details.
Our Opener and Pro accounts do not require any formal credit checks!
Instead, we use data from your registration payment to assess lending risk and determine if a security deposit is required.
Headliner membership does require a simple soft pull credit check. It does not affect your credit score and does not require any sensitive personal info like your SSN.
Absolutely! Our Pro plan comes with basic Gear Consultant support by email. Headliners get even more VIP treatment with access to a personal Gear Consultant (via text, phone, or video chat) who can recommend products and guide you on your journey.
Yep! You can swap them out individually. Just make sure to note any shipping charges that may apply to your next round of gear.
Unfortunately, no 😢. We currently only support the mainland US but we are working on expanding internationally soon!
Since we lend out expensive equipment with no formal credit checks, we use a simple secure process to verify your ID with Stripe, one of the largest and most secure payment processors in the world.
It only takes about 30 seconds and your information remains totally safe, secure, and confidential.
We charge fulfillment fees each time an item is sent out. That fee covers round trip shipping.
