Honestly I too got a negative impression. The thread implies that Sam Ash might be conducting poor business practices because their in cart discount varied from the advertisement. This is similar to picking an item off the shelf at a store with discount price and finding the register charges differently; this happens frequently. Most times, simply bringing to the associate's attention will resolve the matter. But it would be wrong to imply they have questionable business practices before you inquire or unless there is a pattern of behavior. The thing is there was an apparent mistake, possibly simple, by Sam Ash that they corrected but this thread has received 1,277 views. It's one of those cases where communication details are lost sometimes for various reasons.

I'm officially confused (not that hard to do). You were ready to buy over the website, but not by phone?

The phone approach is best. In fact, Musicians Friend and others will intentionally build their promotions so you have to call a rep. That's how their reps earn their commission. Seriously. FWIW, I personally find shopping with Sam Ash to be a strange experience, but I do buy from them on occasion. The local SA store where I live rarely has sales, but instead they offer "two years free financing" and jack all the prices up about 10-15%. Can't believe anyone falls for that, but they keep trying...

Absolutely ready to buy. Having no history with this particular retailer, the pricing mixup on the website made me pause and reconsider where to buy the guitar from (there are other choices, and as stated above, I'm not simply looking for the lowest price).

I had no problems with SamAsh.com at all when I ordered my Bedell from them. I got the advertised sale price, and the Bedell arrived well-packed and earlier than they said it would.
That was my only on-line transaction with them, however. But I wouldn't hesitate to order from them again in the future. |
