Superior service to competitors I recently ordered something small from my sales person but received the same service and follow up I got on larger purchases. I buy with confidence from SW

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.

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.

PEDAL DOWN, SWEETWATER RESCUE I had a Headrush pedal that malfunctioned. I contacted Sweetwater after contacting Headrush. I still have not gotten a single reply from Headrush (been almost 3 months now). Joshua Bortner of Sweetwater's support team took care of me and got me up and running in my studio again within days. You can't get better service than at Sweetwater....... Bruce Brewer

Ian Haas = a great experience I've purchased my last two guitars from Ian Haas, with one more in the pipeline. I also just purchased a Boss Katana amp. Ian makes the process enjoyable and fun, more like chatting with a friend rather than a salesperson. I'm not a high volume buyer, but Ian and Sweetwater have my loyalty. I can't imagine shopping anywhere else.
