After a week I called the Sales Manager, who was at least honest. The order had never been raised on their system and anyway, once it was rasied they simply back-to-backed it to Ovation. I finally got the guitar two weeks after ordering, but no free stuff. So I called the salesman back and explained my fryustration to him in words of one syllable or less, and I got the other stuff about three days later.

In fairness they were still cheaper than anyone else, and I did eventually get everything they promised, but talk about driving customers away!!

Cheers,

David thanks for sharing another coffin nail for Guitartrader. sounds like these folks need some customer service training.]]> Guitar Players Discussion TwistedLefty https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/guitartrader-com/#post-262053 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/guitartrader-com/#post-262050 Thu, 30 Aug 2007 19:37:49 +0000

Blessing in disguise. By the time that money returns, I'll have gotten paid again and have 500-1,000 more to throw into a new axe. I'm thinking a Clapton signature model, or an SRV. Guitartrader and their questionable business practices rule!]]> Guitar Players Discussion ivankaramazov https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/guitartrader-com/#post-261994 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/guitartrader-com/#post-261990 Thu, 30 Aug 2007 03:07:07 +0000
I bought my Epiphone Valve Junior from them and when I ordered it they told me it was in stock. So I waited for about 4 weeks and I e-mailed them: they then told me that it was out-of-stock and that they e-mailed me about how I would have to wait: I never received an e-mail. So after a long conversation with a woman on the phone, I eventually got my shipping paid for.

I know it's definitely nowhere near as bad as what happened to you, ivankaramazov, but i think it definitely shows that buying over the internet can be frustrating sometimes, that being said I still buy from E-bay, but it's usaully nothing quite like an amp or a guitar.]]> Guitar Players Discussion Steve-0 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/guitartrader-com/#post-261990 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/guitartrader-com/#post-261989 Thu, 30 Aug 2007 02:56:08 +0000 :D

I know what you mean. It even took me until I was 35 before I chose the right person to marry. :wink: I've been very happy with the choice though (we've been together for over a quarter of a century now... ). And - please don't mention this to anybody - but I can still remember how much I enjoyed the research phase too.... :P

Sorry to hear that you got screwed there Ivankaramazov. That would infuriate me. Once I do make a choice I want it now. I guess that's one more reason why I only ever buy guitars through local stores where I can decide then and there to take home the one I just played. Good luck sorting it out.

Or perhaps you can order online from Zzounds.com. I have heard pretty good reviews of that site.

I didn't said MF as it was having some shipping issues earlier.

Good Luck. I originally decided to buy one at GC, but they didn't have the Olympic White. Like their 10 or so uniquely designed websites they had delays on getting another one.

I'd order elsewhere now, or even buy a different color to ease my feigning, but I'm down a grand for the time being, and not made of money over here.]]> Guitar Players Discussion ivankaramazov https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/guitartrader-com/#post-261987 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/guitartrader-com/#post-261983 Thu, 30 Aug 2007 02:43:56 +0000
