Took down my product review I wanted to cancel my order at monoprice.com, but cancel option was unavailable/disabled, only return option was enabled. So I started Return process, Monoprice emailed me and it stated that I need to return the item to California and pay for shipping cost, I live in east coast, the UPS estimate for return shipping was over $100. What ?? I decided to keep the item rather than paying 3 or 4 times the item cost. I posted my review on their website describing what happened and monoprice took it down within an hour. Dishonest and very shady company.

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.

After talking with Laura I chnaged my review to a 4 Very Helpful and we will be ordering more products from Monoprice Ordered 6 Indio Guitars Monoprice as Christmas Gifts. 5 of the Guitars were either Damaged or not Indio Guitars even thorough they had the Indio logo There were no Serial Numbers They were pure Junk After many Phone Calls and emails and Pictures They finally sent return labels Of course we have to drive 50 miles round trip to a Fed Ex. Also they did not compensate us in any way No Coupons for future Orders I dread waiting for my Money to be credited back as I am sure there will be an issue.

Credit card information stolen after… Credit card information stolen after purchasing from here. It was the only time I used this card for non-bill related items within the past couple of months. Researching also showed this happened back in 2010 & they had shut down their site for some time to 'investigate'

Contacted them at least four times… Contacted them at least four times through chat regarding an order that was placed September 1. Today I got shipment notification. I got the same run around and everyone else did. Warehouse moving… They did offer me an 8% discount. (Edit) Thank you Laura. Please post your contact info.
