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.

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 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.

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
