GBRegular string order Regular string order. Sweetwater’s prices are competitive, but where they stand out is on customer service. Even on something as minimal as guitar strings, I get follow-up calls when they ship, and again after delivery to make sure everything’s cool. Nobody else does that. So even if the price is a dollar or two higher (usually not), it’s worth it for the support. Never regretted buying from them.

GBAm extremely happy with the guitar I… Am extremely happy with the guitar I received. Main reason I bought from Sweetwater is the 55 point inspection, unlike some other stores I could mention who just give you the unopened box, take your money, and you never hear from them again. Customer support is excellent and Candace is outstanding. I also just ordered a Boss pedal and have bought several other items from Sweetwater in the past for 2 reasons: They are usually in stock while unavailable in other stores, and FREE SHIPPING.

GBAlways a great experience! I always have a great experience with Sweetwater. Their selection is amazing, and I always appreciate the plethora of videos they have about each item. I love having a real person to talk with, and I love even more that that person stays consistent over time, so I can get to know them and they can get to know me. Having that history makes future questions and purchases so much easier.

GBAmazing customer service!! May of 2022 I bought a 14 channel powered mixer from Sweetwater. It was a great purchase and it has worked perfectly for me to mic my drum kit. However, earlier this month the left output just suddenly stopped working. I inspected cables but couldn't find the problem. So, I called my sales engineer (Ian Lemberg) to see what could be done. He hooked me up with an equipment technician who guided me in troubleshooting the problem. In the end, he said it was in the mixer and said since it was still under warranty they were going to FedEx a replacement right away. And...not to worry about sending the broke one back. In just a few days the new one arrived and I was back up and running!! Wow!! I just can't believe the level of customer service from Sweetwater. A special thumbs up goes to my sales engineer (Ian Lemberg) and the equipment technicians. All my music equipment needs will first go to Sweetwater!! Also, Sweetwater will assign a sales engineer to you on your first purchase. This sales engineer will follow up with you on your purchase and all other future purchases. These sales reps are very helpful! They will call and talk to you about the equipment you bought, help with questions you may have about other equipment needs and will get to know you personally and don't hesitate to to discuss anything about your musical journey or anything else. It's a completely unexpected feature from this company!!

GBA wholeheartedly disappointing service I’ll admit I could have been a better customer in this situation but I’m just so disgusted by the lack of manners / professionalism from Sean at Sweetwater. Tried ordering something while in the US. They sent an unclear email asking me to agree to their terms like 5 paragraphs into the email. I didn’t see it and they didn’t follow up so I checked in 2 weeks later to be told they hadn’t accepted the order as I hadn’t responded. I then responded and they took another week to charge my card which didn’t go through. By then I had to leave the US and they then cancelled the order as I took 11 days to respond to their declined payment email. All of this was fine but the email I got in response was the rudest I’ve experienced dealing with a service / sales agent. How do you expect to be a sales agent when you talk to customers this way. As someone who works in service I know how important it is to be understanding of the customer and the agent both but in this case I’m just so put off by this. I would feel ashamed to send a customer a response like this.
