Long delays in receiving bass gear.

[gjones]

Has anybody else experienced delays in receiving bass gear that you've bought inline? Recently I've bought a cover for my Ashdown head and a set of custom shop pickups and there's been long delays in receiving both. The Ashdown took over a month to arrive and I still haven't received the pickups after almost a month. Both shops blame their suppliers.

By the way neither website said the items weren't in stock when I bought them.

Should have got the cover from Roqsolid (unless you did of course). All my covers from them, even a bespoke one, arrived within a week. And a Stringbusters order was delivered the next day

Both purchases were significantly cheaper than other online shops..............maybe that's the price I have to pay for being a cheapskate.

I always email or phone before ordering, just to check it is in stock. I also ask what delivery service they use, and when to expect it.
If they don't reply or are vague in their reply then I order from somewhere else.
