Cygnus64 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Has anybody had good/bad experiences with them? I ordered something a while ago (via Amazon) that hasn't come yet, and I'm beginning to lose my patience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Mullins Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I ordered a couple items from them a long time ago (8-10 years?) and had no problems. I have had a couple problems on Amazon and both times it was when they were front-ending the sale to another entity. One time, the end seller wasn't even in business any more.

Cygnus64 Posted January 7, 2013 Author Share Posted January 7, 2013 Thanks fellers, I guess there is hope. My tale so far: Ordered a Boss recorder, refurbished (nice price) on 26th after seeing it "in stock" on Amazon. Got an email right away from 8th street: "we don't have one, we can get another (refurbed), will take 5-10 days". I said yes. 10 days passed, no response. I wrote again, they responded "Oh, well we'll get it early next week and notify you". It's now "early next week". Aint heard a peep, so I can only assume that tomorrow will be the day they start to ship the unit I bought and paid shipping for. Oy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwyn Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Bought my electro 3 there. Had some really loud squeaky keys. They replaced it. Also, when buying it, the guy there was really cool. When I replaced it, I actually drove there. Nice showroom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cygnus64 Posted January 7, 2013 Author Share Posted January 7, 2013 When I replaced it, I actually drove there. Nice showroom. I was there years ago, had a Tour day off in Philly and went. Was a nice selection. I think the Philly store closed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwyn Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Yeah. They moved across the bridge into New Jersey. That's the showroom I saw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mate stubb Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Refurbed, eh? So they have to find another one, just any new stock won't do.

Cygnus64 Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 Refurbed, eh? So they have to find another one, just any new stock won't do. They told me on the 26th that they (err, someone)had another refurbished one. Apparently, they store the refurbed models on another planet and they are waiting for the cargo ship. :idk My guess is they can't find another and are just stalling, for what purpose I have no idea. At this point, I'm displeased. I'm miffed. I'm even nonplussed. I'm filled with a sense of vexation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cygnus64 Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 It's shipping today. Our long, national nightmare is over. Almost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
