Horrible shipping, tracking, and customer service

by farodyssey , Mar 31 '03
Despite their nice full-color catalogs and pretty website, this is one of the most disorganized and poorly managed music gear retailers on the internet.

I ordered thousands of dollars worth of equipment when putting together a small recording...

Musician's Nightmare!!!!!

by albano1973 , Mar 28 '03
I ordered a cabinet from Musician's Friend twenty days ago. My cabinet was wrecked and I needed another. I had bought gear from them before, and I decided they would be the only online store I would use. I was easier than driving an hour to the nearest...

Lousy Operations

by courtdog , Jun 25 '09
Ordered a Bass guitar, a bass amp and a gig bag from MF on 6/2/09 in what would have been a tight time frame to be delivered for my son's birthday on 6/9.  Given that most orders on line ship within 24 hours and UPS is 5 days, I thought it would be ...

Hidden cost spoiled the value

by tclune , Apr 11 '05
I bought a $550 guitar and a $5 patch cord at the same time from musician's friend. They shipped the two things under different cover, and charged me $20 each for shipping and handling -- so my $5 patch cord ended up costing $25! It wasn't back-ordered,...

Twice in the past year, I have ordered items on the Web (first a guitar, then a SACD player) and then tried to cancel those orders. Both times, Musician's Friend completely failed to follow through with the cancellations, even though they had plenty of...

Good place to shop online.

by yofrient , Aug 04 '08
I've purchased a lot of things on the Internet over the years. I actually prefer to shop for some things on line over a brick and mortar store. Musical instruments and DJ Equipment are two such items. After careful research and somewhat negative ...

I have been a customer for about seven years now, and I've discovered that they have an extensive selection with prices that are nearly always low or the lowest for just about any musical item. It has always been my habit to comparison-shop for gear, ...

Slow, like molasses

by leicester35 , Jun 20 '07
How hard is it to get hold of a guitar, case and amp? Well, apparently if you're Musician's Friend it's a real challenge. Three weeks ago I placed my order. The guitar, case and amplifier were listed as being "in stock." This turned out to be somewhat ...

by djrandyl , Oct 14 '02
Although the prices are quite cheap, the sales staff couldn't answer some basic questions about some products I inquired about. To get answers, you had to ask the tech reps at another number!! Not good if you're trying to purchase something. Also, when...

The website design makes it very easy to find the things that I'm looking for and their prices are competitive along with a pretty good selection of manufacturers to choose from. I still have and love the guitar that I got from them maybe as long ago as 1996. Other than some things being back-ordered (which is completely understandable when you have a great product at a great price), shopping with Muscian's Friend is top notch. Highly recommended.

Ordered a Gibson Hound Dog round neck Dobro on Monday. Website tracking page showed it as "being packed" on Tuesday morning and "shipped" Tuesday evening. This was a ground delivery to Canada, so I expected to wait a couple of weeks. On Thursday I sent an email because no tracking number had been posted yet. On Friday afternoon the guitar and accessories arrived, in good condition. Overall I am very pleased with the item and the service I got from Musician's Friend.

I ordered from Musician's Friend because I was impressed by the web site and the sales catalogs that I have recieved in the past. The web site is very informative, especially the user reviews. I just had a gut feeling that ordering from Musician's Friend would be pleasant experience and you guys delivered. I was very pleased with the service and the merchandise. I will order from Musician's Friend again in the future.

Item is backordered. The backorder wait is too long. I'm not going to get this guitar until about a month after I ordered it. Lame.
