The guitar pedal I ordered was…

The guitar pedal I ordered was destroyed on arrival!! This is not a critice’ of the store itself.
I hope I will be sent a replacement. As I have emailed pictures of the damage to the store.
And I am sure the pedal will be replaced.
I guess this is more a reflection of Australia Post.

Hi Russell,
Thanks for emailing us and sending through the photos to let us know about the pedal. As I said in my reply to you this morning, I haven't seen that kind of damage to a pedal before with Australia Post or any other courier service we use!
We've got a brand new one leaving us today for you with an express courier, you'll be playing it in no time! 😊

Great price, product, fast delivery and really careful packaging made purchasing the Wampler Fuzztration a smooth and hassle free process.

I chose two red tuners but received two black ones instead

Delivery was quick and the product itself is excellent quality.

But the product photo showed a red tuner, which is what I wanted. So i bought two, and when they arrived and opened the boxes, I saw they are both black. I need these tuners so I have kept them, and I think it would be too complicated to send them back after I opened them. But I am not happy that I was sent black instead of red, as the colour of my gear is part of my artistic presentation. I would appreciate the chance to either exchange them for red ones, or buy two red ones at a very reduced price. I will happily edit this review to a more positive one if this problem is solved.

Hi Diego,
We only stock the WST8 versions of Snark tuners, which are black, as shown on the product page of our website. I suspect you may have been looking at the red ST2 version on other websites, and have gotten confused.
I'm happy to discuss this further if you would like to get in touch with me directly at sales@bettermusic.com.au. 😊
