Buying off internet GC-reliable?

Sign in to disble this ad
Christmas is approaching and my parents weren't looking to get me anything like a new amp or bass, but just some stuff. I was wondering how well the shipping is for such items like a strap, hat etc. I don't mind it not getting there by Christmas it's just my dad is very wary of buying off the internet, and I need to convince him that GC is legit. I've bought an amazing Geddy Lee from them and I've got nothing bad to say about them.

I guess I'm just looking for some thoughtful opinions.

Thanks for any replies!

Keep grooving

Not to spam GC too much but I get their ads and I thought I read that for orders over $50.00 or so...shipping was free.

They're legit. I bought a hardshell case for my Spector through them, a Dean Playmate EAB and now I have a gig bag and strap on order.

I have had to send 3 of the 4 items I bought back for poor packing/UPS damage.

A Mesa Venture, A Mesa Walkabout and a GK 2x12 NEO.

I wouldn't trust the used stuff if THEY have to pack it.
