How do I return my gear?
It’s simple – you can return directly to us or drop the gear back to the store. All you need to do is give the Studio19 Customer Service team a call on 1300 858 911 or send an email with your details to info@studio19.com.au. They will help you organise a pickup or provide you with information to return it to the store.
Do I need to return all my gear at the same time?
Not at all. When you’re trying new things, you have to find the right fit. You might love your camera but be ready for a new lens. Or you love the guitar but you’re ready to upgrade your amp.
If this is the case, contact the Studio 19 Customer Service team on 1300 858 911 or send an email to info@studio19.com.au.
Can I buy my gear?
Absolutely. You can apply to buy at any time, even after one day. There are no hidden fees for buying at one month, six months or three years.
What about insurance?
Studio 19 offer an optional protection plan with most of our gear. The protection plan is different from insurance and doesn’t cover every eventuality. It does protect you from accidental damage, fire and theft in Australia. The Studio 19 Customer Service team can provide you with more details and assist if you have any questions. Additionally, we recommend checking with your own insurance company, as your existing contents insurance may already extend coverage to your rentals.
