There's a fine line between good customer service and stalking, and Sweetwater.com doesn't seem to know the difference. I've ordered a few things from them, and they always call to make sure that my order arrived, and if I was happy about it. I can understand asking about tubes I've ordered as they can be finicky, but strings?
This last time I ordered a pack of strings. As in, ONE pack of strings. Yes, I ordered one pack of GHS White Bronze strings.
They called the house. My family thought I had ordered something important and gave Sweetwater my cell number. They then called my cell number asking if my strings were okay, and if I wanted to order anything else. I told the salesman I was driving, and couldn't talk.
Okay, let's back that bus up. It's a pack of strings. Okay. It's a $7 pack of strings. They usually work just fine. I can't say I've ever had a pack not work right. And no, I don't want a Gibson Les Paul as an add on sale.
Seriously, I can't order anything without them stalking me, and trying for more add on sales. One time I hadn't ordered anything in a while, and they called me up asking if I wanted to buy something. Another time, I was called by the new salesman since my previous one had been promoted. He wanted to "introduce" himself, and ask if there were any musical instrument purchases I would like to make?
It seems that there's good customer service, and there is stalking, and Sweetwater doesn't seem to know the difference. Really guys, if I want something I will let you know. You don't have to stalk me. It's becoming creepy and unwanted. Now I know how a stalked woman feels.
