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!

You can keep it as long as you want! Or if you want to keep things fresh, you can swap your gear out every 30 days.
Once you sign up, you’ll be able to create a borrow list of gear that you’d like to try out. We use that list to plan our inventory and ensure we’ve got gear in stock that users want. We’ll send you items from your list based on our stock and availability. If there is a piece of gear that you really want first or next, just ask your gear specialist to prioritize it and we’ll work to accommodate your request. Otherwise, we’ll keep things fresh and fun by sending you gear from your list as it becomes available! It typically takes about 5-7 days to get your first box.
It typically takes about 5-7 days to get your first gear shipment after you sign up. Following that, shipments will be a bit faster as each member creates a borrow list that allows us to better plan inventory. The more items you add to your borrow list, the faster and better we can serve you!
Every 30 days you can choose to either swap out your gear for something else or keep it longer.

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!

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.

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.

No worries! All of our plans bill month to month and you can cancel or pause at any time. Simply send back the gear you are borrowing, and we can pause or cancel your membership on request. You’ll have 10 days to return the gear after pausing or canceling. If we don’t receive it, we’ll simply charge the purchase price to the card on file.

Yep! You can swap them out individually. Just make sure to note any shipping charges that may apply to your next round of gear.

VIP Gear belongs to a special collection of vintage, rare, or boutique gear that is reserved only for our Headliner members. We do require a quick proof of ID before loaning out any of this gear. Submitting a photo of your driver’s license is all we need.

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.
