Juststrings

For anyone who's bought strings from here, what was your experience? I am planning on buying the jamerson set here. How long does it usually take for them to arrive and whats the customer service like?
 
I just bought from them. I'm in Canada, ordered on a Thursday, they were sent out on Friday, I received them 12 days later. Yesterday, in fact.

I got picks but no cloth :(
 
I've bought almost all my strings from them for the past 3 or 4 years (wish I'd known about them sooner). I give them high marks. I've probably bought at least 20 sets from them (I've got several basses and I've been trying out various strings lately), but no cleaning cloth for me either!

Seriously, though. They seem to be the best around for pricing and they ship fast. Of course, they're in NH and I'm in MA. I've also gotten some additional advice from their customer service dept. There's a good deal of info on their website, but not all strings have the same level of detail, so I've had to cal them a couple of times.
 
I've been using them for a few years. They seem to make a lot of mistakes picking orders correctly, but the customer service is pretty good at taking care of it. Their pricing is all over the place, on some makes they seem to have good prices but a lot of things are cheaper elsewhere. They charge UPS prices for shipping Priority Mail.
 
I've been using Just Strings since the late 90's.

I've never had any issues at all. I typically pick up my strings since they're only about a 20 min ride from my work.

They used to be located about 5mins away, but they moved from Nashua (where I work), to Milford (20min ride) :crying:

But, I can still order first thing in the morning and pick up the strings at lunch.

Very convenient to say the least :)
 
I highly recommend them. They have strings in stock that no one else has.
I had one order where one pack of strings were miss marked, I ordered three sets and a set of Piccolo strings got mixed in. I called and they credited my CC back the money for one set and told me just to keep them. Good people.
