A 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.

Regular 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.

Always pleased with this company I am 71 with arthritis and do not play very much and therefore do not order many things. The things that I do order are always shipped very promptly and their prices are about the same as any other REPUTABLE company. Their sale prices are always good. I have never had a problem with any purchase and am not aware of how their customer service is. It would be nice if they would include a receipt with the order.

Great customer service reps I had a bit of a mishap with an order that got hit with a ~30% customs fee importing a set of speakers from sweetwater Into Canada. I ended up having to refuse the packaged due to the exceedingly high duty. At first I had though this was a total loss, but after reaching out to sweetwater i have nothing but good things to say about their customer service team. If you live in Canada, inquire about customs fees prior to ordering but rest assured their customer service is top notch.

Always 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.
