Strings by mail ships too fast!

On Saturday I ordered several sets of string from Strings By Mail to be shipped the cheapest method & started to get my guitar ready. I had planned to cut some notches in the bridge behind the saddle so the strings break better, polish the frets & condition the fingerboard & clean & grease the tuners. It wasn't an hour after placing the order that I was notified that the USPS had picked up my package & it was on it's way. Well Monday was a holiday, so I knew the mail would be delayed a bit, so I wasn't in a rush to complete the guitar maintenance. Well, the strings arrived in the mail today, Tuesday, & now I have to get off my ass & finish the guitar.
Obviously I am very pleased with the service I received, but not about having to get off my duff. ;)

Cheers,
kev

RE: Complaint about strings by mail ... (in reply to bugeyed)

I have ordered significant quantities of guitar strings from SBM over a period of several years and have always been very happy dealing directly with John, and his expert knowledge of string technology.

I have found their quality of service, flexibity and honesty to be outstanding.

I would not hesititate to recommend them to anyone on this forum.

And their prices are significantly better than I can ever find in my local stores in Toronto.

For what it's worth. . .

Takes about 2 weeks for stuff to arrive at my house, based on two orders so far.

You didn't read my post very carefully!
I went ahead & changed the title, so others don't misunderstand.
