Great company Great company! Only ordered a set of children’s rhythm sticks for about $3 and still received a call from company “thanking me for my order!” Who does that anymore. I have spread the word! Buy USA and Springwater co! Timely shipping and tracking.

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.

I've been a customer for decades. Never again. I recently purchased an Empirical Labs EL-9 from Sweetwater. After very clearly specifying where I wanted this not-exactly-cheap unit shipped -- and despite having a shipping address on file I've been using for about 5 years -- somehow, SWS still sent this to the wrong place. I didn't find this out until the tracking info revealed the destination city. In a frantic effort to stop this from being delivered, I contacted my sales engineer -- no response. Then I reached out to SWS through the website's contact form. Here are the highlights from the response I finally got: "Sorry about the incorrect address. Probably the best way that you’d be able to get the package rerouted would be to contact FedEx about the order yourself," And if the delivery "occurs"... "The best course of action at [this] point would be to go to the address to recover the package if that’s possible." I finally CC'd this thread to the Director of Customer Experience, at which point SWS finally took the initiative to fix this and re-ship it. Never heard a peep after this point. I'm done here -- Sweetwater has lost a customer. P.S., I attempted to leave this on their own site, but they seem to filter negative reviews from product profiles. Explains a few things... P.P.S., I guess they now ignore negative reviews elsewhere as well.

I ordered by phone I ordered by phone. The salesperson listened to what I wanted. He was polite and had great phone etiquette. My purchase was shipped immediately and arrived in a well-packaged box. As always, Sweetwater never disappoints.

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.
