Smoother than Santana with Rob Thomas

Phoned in my order for a guitar stand around 5.30pm last night, spoke to a friendly, helpful and efficient guy, now it's 10.25am the next day - and It's here already. Don't normally write glowing reviews, but hats off to Guitarbitz, I'm a happy customer.

Amazingly quick delivery!!

Absolutely delighted. I received my new strings around 16 hours after ordering them. I'm absolutely delighted and will be buying all of my strings from this company going forward. Highly recommended.

Fantastic!

I've been a customer for a few years and never had a problem. Great selection of products and delivery always comes next day if you order early enough. Highly recommended.

Hoping to order some home brewing equipment from their new sister site Brewbitz soon!

Great service.

I needed to re-string my guitars (14) but didn't have the time to go to my nearest music shop. Went online and found Guitarbitz. They had a extensive choice of guitar strings, as well as a vast range of other musical equipment, to choose from. But importantly, they had my brand. Easy to order from and fast delivery, I certainly will be using them again.

Aviod

I am still owed the £15.83 Return Shipping Cost. Any purchase not of satisfactory condition should not incur any extra cost to the buyer 'Sale of Goods Act 1979'. I am disappointed that you choose to show contempt for the law and your own Returns Policy.
I have bought and set-up many guitars in my 56years of playing guitar so I know what I'm talking about when I say that frets ends are sharp an not finished properly.
I have never before been sent a guitar that has damage and in less than perfect condition. I shall in future only deal with reputable shops that value their customer relations such as Andertons, Sound Live, PMT.... from whom you could take some pointers.
We buy a lot of band gear and have warned all of my band and contacts of the way Guitarbitz treat customers.
Regarding reply from Guitarbitz :- The guitar had damage. I sent a photo as proof. Tell the truth Guitarbitz. Shame on you.

Thank you for your review.

Customers can return products within 14 days of receipt.

Unfortunately we are not able to cover the costs of customers wanting to return goods that they do not want.

We check all guitars before they are dispatched using a 12 point checking system. The frets are checked for playability and sharp edges.

For more details on how we check guitar, please see our 12 Point Check Information Page - http://www.guitarbitz.com/guitar-check-i48

Upon return of the instrument, the frets were again checked and found to be satisfactory.

We also fully checked the instrument and no faults or damage could be found.

We are sorry that you are not happy with the instrument that has been sent to you.

Kind Regards
Guitarbitz

Top quality merchandise, outstanding service, reasonable prices

I was expecting that, as the item I bought was a third of the price of anywhere else, I was going to have trouble. I paid using PayPal, which made the transaction so easy, so that I had comeback should the transaction go South. I really needn't have worried as Guitarbitz is a first rate company, providing a first rate service at unbeatable prices. This review may sound like a sales pitch, however, I can assure you that I am a genuine customer that purchased a genuine Fender guitar. I wholly recommend this company to anyone looking for guitar bits... or Guitarbitz.
