I ordered the bass guitar on Feb 7th I ordered the bass guitar on Feb 7th. It arrived on Feb 10th. Packaging on the guitar was poor. Only thin cardboard with gig bag and absolutely no padding. Mine arrived with cardboard ripped open but the guitar appeared ok. Only ONE color was available online. It was a Jamm Flamed Maple guitar. This is my first guitar. Mono price offers a learning course which is a joke a few free lessons then you have to pay which I don’t plan to use after looking further into it. I purchased some books instead. When it arrived, it was the wrong color (Charcoal) or nearly all black. I would have perhaps taken a price reduction instead of sending it back, but they didn’t offer that to me, and upon further investigation, the E string 13th or 14th fret was not right. When placing finger on fret it would fret out also the fret near it making an irritating buzzing sound. All the strings were way loose (out of tune). Not a big deal since I purchased a $ 5.00 tuner from them which worked great. I liked having the choice of 2 pickups and 2 knobs for volume and 1 for tone. However, a switch to toggle between them would have been nice also. The return process was a bit of a hassle. Many automated emails with instructions followed by the customer service rep emailing you something different. Automated email said I had to take the guitar with return label to the FED EX. Why should I? Then shortly after received an email from representative asking what time would work for a pickup (that’s more like it). Not a huge deal but not “personalized” service by any means. Now I will have to take a day off work for the Fed Ex Drop off and wait for the replacement. The guitar was sent back on February 16 I received an email on Feb 23rd stating that I would receive a replacement. I received the replacement on February 27. AGAIN!!! The wrong color (charcoal) guitar. I contacted Customer service who said they would contact the management team and they would give me 15% off on my next order. I never received a response. Today is March 5. I will return this guitar once again and NO I won’t be buying another. Terrible Customer service. Also tried to leave a review and they will not post it. They only post the reviews that they choose. I purchased a guitar from their competitor and it was an excellent experience. Do yourself a favor and don't buy from this company.

Monoprice sent me several email… Monoprice sent me several email per-week. This week an item caught my eye. A 20 foot patch cable for $1.39 and it clearly stated FREE SHIPING in the email. I went to place an order for4 cables and the order page came up showing the cable and stating again FREE SHIPING. At the bottom of the page was a shipping charge for $8.99. So much for free shipping. After calling customer support I was told I would have to order $39 before I would not be charged for shipping. Nowhere on the email or the checkout page did it say this.

Extremely shady business practices… Extremely shady business practices including spam in order invoices. They are not displaying it is a Ad that points to freeshipping.com that has nothing to do with the business or order. Very unprofessional and brings up what other questionable practices they are performing to rip off customers. Definitely makes sense other customers have had payment information leaked. Of course monoprice denies this, they wouldn't know they are compromised and if they did this shady practice proves they would not disclose it in a timely manner since it is obvious they don't care about the consumer just ripping them off.

Cables are great, good customer service, still confusing I ordered a USB-C cable and an S/PDIF (Toslink) optical cable. Simple, right? But there are so many USB standards, and Monoprice's web site doesn't do a good job of contrasting its "Charge & Sync" and "Data & Power" cables; I had to contact customer service who quickly responded. The AtlasFlex USB cable seems great with sturdy jacketing. Meanwhile it turns out there are full-sized and mini Toslink connectors on optical cables. Monoprice correctly describes their optical cables, but they could caption or label each picture with what kind of connector it shows.

Excellent customer service! Their prices are hard to beat and they ship fast. Unfortunately, postal services lost my parcel on its way. I turned to their customer service and they resent my order with another delivery service and I received my parcel 2 days later. Impressed with how quickly they responded to my messages (always within a day). They are great.
