Shawn Brock -> RE: Ordering from GSI. (Dec. 6 2011 16:44:16)

Hey Keith, just checked out stringsbymail, and placed an order. So many of you guys have spoken about them, but for some reason I had never looked at their prices. Your right on, they are quite competitive, cheaper than folks like GC, plus it will be great to order up some mixed sets. Thanks for reminding me of them! They have my string business from now on. As for GSI, here we are 7 business days after I placed the order, and they still haven't shipped. All of what I ordered showed as being in stock, so I don't know what the problem is. Think I'll give them until the end of the day and if the order doesn't update with tracking info, I will just cancel it... I lay odds of 10 to 1 that my stringsbymail order arrives within a day or so of my GSI order, and that's with easy shipping from GSI in L.A to me in Las Vegas. I was willing to give the benefit of the doubt last week, but 7 business days after I placed the order, and 10 true days after? That don't cut it with me... Also for some reason its starting to bother me that a company who's supposed to be a "salon" or small personalized kind of dealer is also owned by the same folks which own Cordoba. On 1 hand you are trying to sell top of the line hand made art, and on the other you are filling the world with cheap guitars made in China... Seems like it would take 2 totally different attitudes to run each business... But what do I know, I'm just a guitar player... Not that I have a problem with Cordoba, they obviously have a place with the guitar buying public. I do have a problem with them making most guitars in China now. They had some pretty good instruments for the money that they made in Spain, now those same instruments are made in China, but the price tag is the same, and the instruments aren't nearly as good. Chalk it all up to big business I guess...
