Swee Lee

Swee Lee is a musical instrument and lifestyle retailer and distributor founded in Singapore in 1946, so pick your gear, then order through ShopBack before you pay, where ShopBack Cashback works like a discount, only easier than a promo code. It is headquartered in Singapore and now operates stores across Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam and Thailand under Swee Lee Holdings Pte Ltd. The online store sells guitars, basses, amps, pedals, drums, keyboards, microphones, DJ and studio gear and vinyl from brands such as Fender, Gibson, Ibanez, BOSS, Roland, Taylor, Martin and PRS, plus used instruments through Well Played Gear. Singapore shoppers who order online after clicking through from the ShopBack Swee Lee page earn Cashback at the current published rate. ShopBack Singapore is an essential step before you check out at Swee Lee: go through it before you pay and part of what you spend comes back as Cashback.

The Swee Lee Rewards Programme is a free points scheme for Singapore residents aged 18 and over with one account per person. Members earn points on in-store and online purchases, for referring friends, and for following Swee Lee's official Instagram and Facebook pages, then convert points into rewards at checkout. Points from a cancelled order are taken back, and Swee Lee can change the points rate at its discretion. Rewards points and ShopBack Cashback are separate: you can be logged into your Swee Lee account and earn Cashback when you start from the ShopBack Swee Lee page.

Swee Lee runs standing deal sections year round, including Hot Deals, B-Stock, Guitar Bundles and Studio Recording Bundles, plus rotating brand promotions, and 2026 is its 80th anniversary year with anniversary offers flagged on the homepage. Singapore's broader sale windows, 9.9, 10.10, 11.11, Black Friday on November 27, Cyber Monday on November 30 and 12.12, are the usual times for sitewide offers. Check the ShopBack Swee Lee page during those windows, since the ShopBack Cashback tier may also change. For a deeper look, see Singapore 2026 Sale Calendar: 9.9, 11.11, 12.12, Black Friday, and Boxing Day.

Swee Lee ships within Singapore through SF Express, Music Express and XDel, with most orders delivered within 1 to 2 working days and up to 3 to 4 in busy periods. Same Day Delivery costs $20 per order, must be placed before 12pm Monday to Friday excluding public holidays, and arrives between 4pm and 8pm; it excludes drum kits, bass drums, marching and concert drums and digital pianos. Next Day Delivery is available if you miss the noon cut-off. Pianos and drum sets needing set-up add 1 to 2 working days. Click and Collect Standard and Express are also offered.

Swee Lee's distinguishing features are its 1946 heritage, regional distribution of several major brands, showrooms at The Star Vista flagship and Clarke Quay where you can try instruments, a Music Academy, and the Well Played Gear used-instrument programme. Its price match policy covers identical in-stock products at local retailers and authorised resellers, so you can request a match before buying. Factor in that returns go to store credit rather than cash. ShopBack Cashback applies to Swee Lee online orders through the ShopBack Swee Lee page.

Yes, with conditions. The product must be identical, in stock and available for immediate purchase at both Swee Lee and the competitor, and the competitor's price must be publicly advertised and verifiable. Qualifying competitors are local physical retailers, local online stores and local authorised resellers. Excluded are prices tied to bundles, memberships, rebates, coupons or conditional offers, pricing errors, and used or discontinued products. Request the match before checkout.

Change-of-mind returns go to store credit, issued as an online gift card, and must be brought to the Star Vista or Clarke Quay showroom within 14 days of delivery with proof of purchase, in brand-new condition with all original packaging, manuals and accessories. Swee Lee may charge a 10% restocking fee. Cash refunds are only given when a product is defective and cannot be repaired or replaced. Non-returnable items include marked-down products, software, speakers, tubes, vinyl, B-stock, oversized items such as pianos, amplifiers and drum sets, hygiene items such as earphones and microphones, selected brands such as Behringer and Akai, and Tourist Refund Scheme purchases.

Products bought from Swee Lee are covered by the Swee Lee Warranty, with warranty periods that vary by brand and product category as listed in the help centre, and a separate Used Gear Warranty for Well Played Gear instruments. Swee Lee also advertises a complimentary additional 6 months of warranty on eligible purchases. Exclusions include misuse, unauthorised repairs, normal wear, cosmetic damage, power surges and third-party parts. A warranty repair does not affect ShopBack Cashback because the original order stays paid.
