MF, as far as I can see, don't ship up here to Canada. I've never even been able to get a catalogue.

They sure do ship to Canada. And not only light weight items either. However we dont get in on the "free shipping" promos.
I bought a Acoustic B200h from them a few months ago. I had them quote me, including shipping, on the bundled cab as well, but decided to go Avatar instead.

They do also honour sales terrtory agreements with manufacturers.
I was looking into GK, but no go to Canada. Gotta buy through Auth. local vendors.

As you look through the website, you'll find items with a Canadian flag beside them. That indicates they will sell and ship that to Canada.
Pretty simple way to lay it out, IMHO.

Hit em up again for a catalogue, i've received at least one.
'Tis right beside the throne, in case emergency reading material is needed ;)
:scowl: Bass and related items section is pretty weak sauce though

Dude, I'm so sorry that you went through all that effort. I did order one in case it was a blowout sale. Those do happen. I sent the below email to Musicians Friend and had them cancel the order if it was a mistake...

Waiting for an apology....

It sucks to say, but this is why I'll keep things like this to myself if I come across them in the future. It would be nice to share with our TB friends but look what happens...moral police sends an email to MF telling them there's an error.

I think what he did had nothing to do with it. With GC & MF having people here. (That is a good thing when problems arise) May be some one should start a club and send out PM"s to all the club members and let them know when something pops up.

Methinks cybersnyder protesteth to much...

By judging, condemning, and questioning the ethics of a broad swath of TBers in "The Great GC Coupon Sale" thread, you open yourself to criticism. If I were to apply your fallacious analogy of "No different than sliding a pedal in my gig bag on the way out the store...", then you left a little folded note that may or may not be noticed on your way out the door.

The shop lifting analogy fails because everyone that took advantage of the GC sale left name, address, and money on the table. GC had ample opportunity to cancel the orders and did not.

It looks like MF may be shipping some of the $50 amps, good for the folks that get them. Personally, I have no insight on corporate decisions to honor such typo deals, but it happens.

"I did order one in case it was a blowout sale. Those do happen." OK...

"Judge not, that ye be not judged" seems good advice. Sorry you did not get one of those "blowout" amps, better luck next time.

They haven't said either of those things, but they did say they would contact accounting and be sure it gets refunded correctly.

So I'm just giving them time, since they are probably swamped trying to get this whole "sale" and it's repercussions straighten out.

I'm feeling much better now.....

I didn't. They knew there was an error. Did you notice that the Musician Friend guy knew where to look. How? Because there was a link in the first page of this thread and everytime someone clicks on it it leaves an HTTP_REFERER environment variable with the MF servers so they know where people are clicking from.

I'm waiting for the apology, you wanted to attack. You were wrong.

Is anyone definitely getting one of these things for $50?

A handful of us have live tracking numbers, so it looks like we'll be getting them Monday/Tuesday. I'm still holding out that the guy who screwed up the pricing got demoted to the warehouse, pulled my order wrong and a shiney new HSVT-CL shows up on my desk when I return from lunch on Tuesday.

Yeah, mine went from Lenexa to Kansas City to Indianapolis. Then... it should be in Goshen!

That's amazing!!

The Warehouse is in Kansas City (I've been there, North KC to be exact) so it leaves KC...goes to Lenexa (suburb of KC) the goes BACK to KC (main hub) and then leaves to go to Indy....go figure!!


Kind of like going to Hawaii from KC via Atlanta....:p
