Sweetwater

Just know that whatever phone number you give them, they will call you to thank you personally for the order. After ordering a new amp without telling the wife I came home and she had already heard the message from SW thanking me for the order! "Sweetwater called to say they will be shipping your amp tomorrow." Ooops. If you don't want your wife to find out, give them your cell number!

Truer words were never spoken!

Depends upon the position you want. I have a friend who recently lasted only months there. It turns out the title of receptionist entailed also answering and routing 400-500 calls a day. That said, I've been on a tour of the property and they do seem to treat employees exceptionally. The facility is pretty incredible with its amenities for public and employees.

The friend just wasn't cut out for that many calls a day, I suppose.

What did they think a receptionist did?
lol
 
I did block them on my phone for a while, but unblocked them when I preordered the dug pedal.

Which I’m glad I did since I ordered with PayPal and PayPal orders can only be held for 30 days and the order would take 90 days to ship.

They called me changed my method of payment and cut me a $15 break on shipping.
 
I would expect shipping to be very expensive to AUS from USA. When I was there on vacation a few years ago, Pondered shipping a box of souvenirs home so I didn't have to lug it through airports. FedEx wanted something like $400 to slow boat a 30 pound box to California. I lugged.
