Strings and Beyond

Sign in to disble this ad
Has anyone ordered from StringsandBeyond.com?

Good, Bad?

I see Juststrings listed alot but not this site, and they seem to have better prices. Just wondering if there is something I should avoid.

Thanks in advance for your opinions.

strings and beyond

I've used them a fair amount. Good prices and quick ship. Used to be my best deal on DR HiBeams at $21.50/set, but they raised the price a little....

I've looked at both Strings and Beyond and Just Strings , but I can't get any better deal with them than I can anyone local to me. And I don't buy bulk, which imho is the only way to really take advantage of the shipping and handling charge added onto the order, which needs to be figured into the price. So I buy local.

Thanks for the advice guys. Just ordered some DR Hi Beams, Winder/clipper tool and headrest, 10%off, and free shipping.

Loend68, 23.95 for the DR hi beams.

I've had great success with both, but have been using Strings and Beyond more lately because of free shipping. Juststrings has better selection, but that $7 shipping charge for a set of strings makes a big difference.

Same experience here with Strings and Beyond. I can usually get strings in 2 days from them and save about $12 a set compared to Guitar Center.

I buy all my strings from them. Great prices and free shipping over 35.00. Very fast, friendly service. They even send you free things like picks or cleaning cloths. They email you when they are having a sale. Their Valentine Day 10% off lasts until tomorrow 2/17/11. No, I don't work for them, but I think they're my favorite online store.
