Great shopping experience

"This is my second time purchasing from Sweetwater. A year ago I bought an Alesis drum set which was delivered to the Virgin Islands in about 2-3 days. I was impressed by the customer service and the follow-up to make sure that everything was fine. Next was a rush delivery for my son's birthday. It was a pretty last-minute order. He wanted a bass guitar. The representative, Wayne Wildman, was awesome, helped me pick out the beginner's guitar and everything that needed to go along with it. My son is super happy. The order came with days to spare. Thank you again, Sweetwater."

Sincerest Gratitude! I Rate Sweetwater #1

"I am so fortunate to have Robby Resnik as my Sales Engineer. No matter how big or how small my purchases are Robby always knocks it out of the park with great all around service. I just purchased a Gibson Les Paul Special TV Yellow with Robby´s assistance. I couldn't be happier!"

Look No Further!

"My first experience with Sweetwater was as much of an example of perfection as I feel that I could ask for, or describe! They not only had the exact product that I was looking for, they also knew the competitor's brands, and helped me ensure that I was making an informed decision with my purchase! With their financing option, I was able to get my item much sooner than I had originally expected, and, it was exactly as described, by my Sales Engineer! I sincerely recommend Sweetwater!"

First time buyer from Sweetwater

"Dealing with sweet water was not a great experience for me. Because not I had to wait for 4 months for the merchandise to arrive but after arriving they didn't email me when was shipped and what was my package tracking # was. someone from sweetwater called me and left a voicemail that my package is on the way. After waiting for some kind of email from sweetwater I finally decided to give them call. I spoke to one of the representatives which at that point they told me that my package was delivered. I told the rep that I did not receive the package as he gave my the tracking # I realize that on that date and time I was home but nobody called me to open the door or any package was left behind my door also I had food delivery on that date and time which I received. The rep than told me that I have to contact Fedex and asked them what happened. I called Fedex and told them what happened they said that they going to investigate and call me within 24 hours. I called sweetwater again and told them what happened the other rep said we are going to investigate and call you with in 48 hours. Well I did not get a answer from either companies. So at this time I am very **** I called sweetwater again and talk with another rep again which I had to start over and say what happened. He simply said that the package was either lost or stolen. he told me again to contact Fedex. I called Fedex and complained again at that point the driver called me back and said that I don't remember delivering a package at your apartment maybe It was my other driver who delivered it. I said anyway I didn't got my package. to this date no-one from weetwater or Fedex has gave me strait answer. or refunded the money back to my credit card or send the replacement. I have never lost package that came from other companies or Amazon. they always email me and let me track my packages. Also they are good at refund and taking care of their customers. "

Excellent Customer Care

"I don't think I have ever dealt with a company that has the level of customer care and support that Sweetwater has. You are assign a "Sweetwater Sales Engineer" who will personally look after your orders. From the moment you place them till after you have received your items, Sweetwater is there. The follow up and personal attention is 2nd to none and you feel as though you matter. Sure, there are other online music merchants with a longstanding reputation for quality service and goods, but the Sweetwater team has that extra that keeps me coming back."

Great Service

" I love the device I bought but this review is about the service I received. I ordered this right before Christmas thinking with all the craziness it might be awhile before I got it. Well, they shipped it out the same day I ordered it so I could receive it ASAP ! And the communication was great. They let me know how they shipped it and how and then followed up ! Really appreciate this kind of service the way things are this day and time !!"

Sweetwater Sound is Sweet !!!

"I've been dealing with Sweetwater Sound for the past couple of years. I have purchased all kinds of equipment and there has never been a problem with any products. But that's not the best part. Their customer service and staff are what makes this company #1.
The Sound Engineers are top notch and professional. I highly recommend !!!

Wouldn't shop anyplace else

"[  ] I have been with sweetwater for several years now. I have purchased a lot of items over the years. Even some items for my grandkids. The products have all been great, my sales person has always been professional. While I'm not knowable about the products he is and he has never led me astray. And the shipping is free and very fast.
Sweetwater is my home for all of my music needs.

These guys know their stuff!

"I needed a new interface and had an email conversation going with Derek about replacing my older interface with a step up. Derek made some recommendations which I researched on the Sweetwater web site. I called in with a few questions and Nate fielded the call, asked me a few more questions to help focus my needs, and helped me finalize my choice.

These guys know their stuff inside and out, specs, usability, you name it.

Got my item 2 days later and I am extremely happy with it!

P.S. Sweetwater's prices are as good as any other online store these days. Plus you get the expertise.

Best customer service I have ever experienced.

"When it comes to treating the customer right, they have raised the standard. Not only was my bass delivered fast but it was packed meticulously. I even got a phone call thanking me for my business. Every step by of the way I felt as thought my purchase was the most important thing they did that day. "
