Sweetwater - Joel McCann Joel McCann, from Sweetwater, was awesome with going over my questions with the product, then keeping me informed throughout the purchase of my new gear until I received it exactly when they said it would arrive. Then Joel followed up a few days later making sure my new gear was working well, and meeting my expectations. Great job!!

I have never left a bad review for a… I have never left a bad review for a company, I understand things happen…but after this experience I feel the need to warn other customers. Sweetwater does not allow reviews on for certain sites a reason. Super friendly customer service, until there is an issue. Ordered a very high end saxophone on a Monday afternoon and explained it was needed urgently for a recording on Friday, and was promised it would ship right away and be delivered by Wed, received receipt thought I was good to go. I was then notified there was an issue with credit card number which I remedied at 9 am on Tuesday and was assured that it would still ship out that day for delivery on Wed and was promised I would receive a shipping confirmation soon. I didn’t receive notification, so I called again Wed morning and spoke to a manager and was told again there was an issue with credit card in their system (even though I could see and verify on my end that the payment was accepted and charged to my cc). At this point I should have cancelled the transaction and gone somewhere else, but I was promised it would be shipped priority and get to me by Thursday morning. All day Wed I looked for shipping confirmation and called back at 4:30 and spoke to Chandler (a client issue specialist) who was polite, yet not helpful and very condescending. I explained the urgency and asked if I could speak to her manager and she said “no, they left for the day”. I asked if she could contact shipping and see what the delay was and she told me “no, it would disrupt them and further delay the process and that it was a high end product, they don’t just throw it in a box and ship it”. I told her I didn’t trust that it would be shipped and she said to let her know if I wanted to cancel order. I asked why I haven’t received a notice that a shipping label was created yet, she couldn’t say why, stating her involvement in this only started at noon today so it wasn’t her issue - she was not helpful at all and in my opinion made this situation worse. As of now, fedex label was created at 7:47 pm on Wed night and still hasn’t been picked up by fed ex. I am beyond frustrated with this company and wish I would have never trusted them to handle such an important and expensive purchase.

An overall great experience. Great customer service, value, and products. I purchased an amp, among other items. Overall, a great experience.

I did not receive my order and… I did not receive my order and Sweetwater refilled my order, seemingly with a smile. I really appreciated that.

Am 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.
