Dietz Beats Return Policy

Like most retailers at this time, due to COVID-19, we have temporarily closed store locations. We understand it may be challenging to return your item within our standard return period, so we have temporarily extended our return policy to 180 days from date of purchase to help you make returns during this difficult time.

180 Day Satisfaction Guarantee - Limitations and Exceptions Apply*

Our goal is your total satisfaction.

If you’re not satisfied, neither are we. If for any reason you’re not completely satisfied with your purchase, simply return it in its original condition within the return period and we’ll give you a full refund of the purchase price, excluding shipping and handling charges. It’s that simple. You must have a return authorization code, which you can obtain by calling [phone] or emailing [e-mail]. Click Here
