I live in Norway, and I usually have my package in less than a week :)

And I get lik 4 sets from them, for the price of ONE in Norway. If in a pinch, I'll buy from the nearest store that is open :D

So from that point on, I have never gotten another thing from them nor would I. When the head salesman called me to apologize I was like, "Dude you could offer me a free guitar right now and I would tell you to shove up that other guys ass." :)

That sucks you had a bad experience with Sweetwater. I hope that your sales engineer wasn't Loop. I don't thikn he'd pick a fight with anyone... unless it's over lasers.

*lol* - get them all excited about selling a full Marshall stack, then go "nah, just some strings today". There are some tools at my local GC I'd like to try that on.

Trooth.

Although I do like how they have the Guitar Gallery that shows the actual guitar for sale. I wish all the online dealers did that!

Very cool indeed.
The time difference can mean that they ship it the day "after" I ordered it, but still very quick service!
And they usually throw in some picks and stickers. Not too big of a value, but still a nice thing to do.

I may place an order with them just to get some freebies...

GC- i can usually get 3 packs for 10 or 12 bucks depending on the sale that day and it gives me a excuse to look at some guitars and amps.

Good deal... buying strings on sale is the way to go!

I can always find an excuse to go look at some guitars and amps, so my wife is always trying to find ways to keep me out of GC.
