Great customer service at D'addario

Sign in to disble this ad
Based on some good reviews here, I decided to try a set of D'addario Chromes. My local store had to special order them so I got a set in .50 -.105.

I started restringing with the E string and it snapped at the peg about 1/2 way to being in tune. I've never had that happen, so I called their customer service department asking if I could purchase just another E and to ask why that may have happened.

They were very apologetic, said it must be a defect and they would send me out an entire new set, at no charge! I offered to send my current set back, but they said to keep the other three strings for my trouble.

I don't know what to say. I didn't expect to be treated so well. They didn't even want me to send in my receipt. Phenomenal customer service IMO.

It's definitly hard to find great service in any business...good to hear stories like that and for me, service is just as important as the product itself.

I have had very good service from every string manufacturer that I have had product trouble with:

Sadowsky
D'Addario
Ernie Ball

All three went WAY beyond expectations when I had a problem.
