Sweetwater

Very aggressive sales department. I will not buy from them again simply for this reason. Once you give them your phone number they will call you and try to sell you more stuff.

After I placed my order, they actually called me to confirm- very rare in the age of computers! My delivery arrived days before they said it would, and there were smarties in the box, which I thought was pretty fun.

Quick to take your Paypal funds, but very slow (5 days) to refund. You'll have to wait till October to get a Little Martin Koa, so beware before placing an order.

I recently bought a Gibson 498T from sweetwater. Man, this has to be THE BEST online store I have ever delt with. I placed my order yesterday, early this morning I got a phone call from the company itself to thank me for buying from them. The man was very kind and also offered to send me an email so I can email him if I ever have any questions. Customer service win! Not to mention this is the only musicians website that offers free shipping on some items under 99 bucks. Thats the whole reason I went with these guys. I didnt want to give musicians friend or guitar center an extra 8 bucks for shipping, or buy picks that I dont need to make my order 99+ dollars for free shipping. Will be buying from sweetwater from now on.

On line site stated they had Epiphone Les Paul guitar case in stock at $69.99, a few days later received email stating case was not in stock and wouldn't be for another 30 days. Customer service had good follow up but they shoudn't use teaser prices to draw you to site if they don't have item.

I've purchased a couple Shure products from Sweeterwater.com with no problems.  Customer service was A+ and I received the product in a timely manner.  They aren't the cheapest but service is more important to me.  One order I entered the incorrect number.  They were more than happy to let me return the product and credit my account.  Received the new product within a couple of days.  I have another order to place and am going to give them another shot.  I am a REAL customer, not an employee!

The catalog was nice but the candy wasn't necessary.

Sweetwater provides the best customer experience in their industry, and an excellent one by any standard. Five stars.

Sweetwater is always top of the line for service. The other music stores can't touch them. Super fast shipping and a great section of different brands. They also always leave you a message to inform you that your order has shipped and thank you for your order!!!!!!

Good.....

Service is always EXCELLENT!!! The amount of inventory is amazing and purchasing on line is very easy. Why would you shop any where else?

Awesome as usual. Thanks Carson!

I'll walk down the list here:
My item (a new case for my bass guitar) was delivered on time and it was free shipping which a lot of these sites do not do.
I got the item I asked for - it was in good condition also (no scratches, dents).
Customer service I didn't have to deal with, although they did email me to confirm the item was shipped which I like.
Overall I am happy - I got a great deal on my guitar case and the shipping was free.  I'd definitely shop here again.

Top notch, as usual. Buy with total confidence!

Excellent Customer service and they had the best price for what I was looking for...which is unusual given the nature of every store having the same price...throw in free shipping and this was a great experience. Have purchased from them in the past and will continue to do so. Highly recommended!!

Sweetwater uses Customer Reps to provide a personal touch to their customers. Good courteous service without any additional pressure to buy other items.

My on-line order was followed by a phone call from Sweetwater. They just confirmed the order and asked if there was anything else I might be considering to purchase in the future. I mentioned a wireless microphone system and they were able to give me relevant information to consider. There was no pressure to change or add to my order. They shipped the order right away and I received it within the time frame projected.

Excellent customer service. Sweetwater bends over backwards to make sure everything is right!

I had a pleasant experience with Sweetwater.  I placed an order, it shipped in the same days and arrived 6 days after that. With Free Shipping! Price was best I could see from any reliable retailer.

Highly satisfied with the order and delivery and will DEFINITELY use Sweetwater again!

I you like the customer service at sweetWater.com to call you for the confirmation of your order, this is the right company that you want to do business with.

I would come back to shop here again.

These Guys back up their products like no other. Even to the little guy. Me. (this was a $699.00 product)I bought a product from them. It was used. I emailed them and they replied there was no way they would have done that. I figured, just like   Read full review...

I ordered from Sweetwater for the first time yesterday, and I couldn't be more pleased. First of all, they had the best price for the item I purchased, plus free shipping and no tax. Today I received a call from one of their customer service reps, who wanted to make sure that my shopping experience was satisfactory.

He struck up a short conversation about the item I purchased, and shared his experience with it (he was also a guitarist.) Very friendly guy, and genuinely interested in my feedback.

I would most definitely shop there again!!

Fantastic! I was completely thrilled with their huge selection. I was a firm believer in www.MusiciansFriend.com, but when they didn't have a particular item I was looking for, a Google search led me to Sweetwater.com. The customer service was the   Read full review...

I had an excellent experience with Sweetwater. I ordered a Gator keyboard bag, which they had the best price on by far. The customer service was excellent! They shipped it right away, and it came today, exactly what I wanted and at a great price. I was very impressed.

When I waited too late to purchase my son's guitar for Christmas, I was frantically searching the Net for one and found it at Sweetwater. I was amazed at their customer service. They called me immediately after I placed the order because I had checked that it was a gift and I had used my business address. The guy was so nice and told me they were always there if we had questions or concerns about the product once it arrived.He gave me his number and extension and his assistant's number and extension. The order shipped super fast.

On Christmas Eve, when I realized I was one gift short for this same child, I was able to order a gift certificate on-line and have it e-mailed to me so that I could wrap it. Most websites will only mail them.

Then today when my son used the gift certificate, we received an e-mail a short time later saying the items had shipped. Not to mention the shipping was free!

They've won our business (for as long as this music phase lasts).

This is my second reveiw posted after placing two orders with sweet water. This company has been calling my cell phone and my parents home. I did not list my parents home phone number on my order so I assume they looked them up on the internet. I hope they read this reveiw and stop harassing me. I did nothing wrong as a customer. They are the ones at fault and need to make this up to me.

Wow these guys hit me good. Bought a gig bag hardshell bass case and a pedal. Hardcase was sold as new for $125, received a used and damaged hard case. I can't believe that. Was also sent the pedal in a different shipment and was sent to my billing address instead of my shipping address. The pedal was lost. Now I have a used hardshell case, no pedal and a show to play tomorrow night. WATCH OUT FOR THESE GUYS!

They are great. I ordered a synthesizer on Saturday with my personal check; the instrument arrived at my home the following Wednesday! It was in perfect condition and with a couple of complimentary Sweet Tarts and Fireball candies.
What more can you ask? Friendly sales personnel and speedy response.

I'm definitely a jaded customer when it comes to purchasing online, and music gear in general. Sweetwater has won my lifelong allegiance by demonstrating amazing customer service techniques that are simple, but go a long way to show how dedicated this company is to giving their customers a positive experience! As soon as I placed my order (which was no more than $60, mind you) I received a call from a customer service representative letting me know that it will be shipped shortly. I even received a follow up call more than a month later to make sure that I was satisfied with my purchase! Oh, and the package had a few treats thrown in as well! Airheads, anyone? These guys rock!

I ordered a $5 insert cable from Sweetwater. That's five measly dollars...and free shipping to boot. Within two days, I had a message on my machine stating my order had been shipped, and telling me to feel free to call if I had any questions and the cable was in my had within three days. On this alone I was very impressed. But that's not the end of it. A week or so later, THEY CALLED AGAIN!!! For a $5 order!!! How rare is that? Do you think I'll consider ordering from Sweetwater again? Damn straight. Did I mention two follow-up calls for a $5 order? Wow...

I have now ordered two things at sweetwater (soundcard and headphones). Both times, I placed my order at night, and the next morning I got a personal phone call from sweetwater just to let me know that my item had shipped and to ask if I had any questions. Their staff is extremely helpful and (unlike so many stores these days) they really know their products. Truly exceptional customer service!

I will definitely order from Sweetwater Sound again. I was contacted at least twice by email and phone when my order was backordered, before I even had a chance to contact them, and received my order a few days late but new and functioning perfectly. Other places may be cheaper, but I seriously doubt that they have the customer care and relations that Sweetwater Sound has. Most of the time you get what you pay for. Don't be at all afraid to order from these folks.
