This story starts off in guitar center. Went in to purchase a $1K+ drum kit. They had it in stock…read more They would NOT take it off the shelf for me to play. I told them I didn't actually need to play the assembled kit but absolutely needed to hear WTF it sounds like so was only asking to take it off the shelf for me to strike each drum a few times. They refused and told me to go to YouTube to hear it! While it was right TF in front of me. Went to Chuck's, found a similar set but it was $300 more expensive than I wanted to spend. The guy at the drum counter assembled it in the middle of the store drum area and even brought out additional cymbals that they had to get from storage for me to try. Purchased it on the spot. All these terrible reviews on here but... It's either here or Guitar Center so pick your poison. Zero other options in the area. And they have the best guitar tech in Maryland. Have taken 4-5 guitars to him over the years and received perfect service. One bizarre thing- there is no need for 3 security guards. Does this place get jumped all the time? Might as well just hire a cop.

I bought an item with Free Shipping. It did not work out and I returned the item, brand new, never…read moreused. I paid to send it back. I looked at my band statement and saw over $35 was deducted from the total. I was told that shipping was deducted from my refund. I really do not understand this. The company advertises free shipping...but if you have to return the item, then all of a sudden the shipping is not free? I paid $156 for the item and was penalized another $19 because I returned it. Maybe I am being unreasonable but I think this is not right. Either shipping is free or it isn't. Don't say one thing and then do another.

Excellent service and affordable price! Philip hung a 75 pound giant wall chessboard. I was…read moreimpressed with the results. He made sure it was balanced and placed at the perfect height. The big chessboard required metal brackets. Philip ensured that the piece was attached to the wall securely. Overall, very professional. I will definitely hire him in the future. He is also very friendly.

Responded very quickly and offered to come the same day, on a Saturday, no less, so we appreciated…read morethat. We needed curtains hung. I had started the job myself but got an anchor screw stuck and figured I should have a pro step in so I didn't wreck my new walls. All the supplies were here, placed where they needed to be, holes were measured and marked for custom made rods and drapes. He charges by the hour and moves very, very slow. He didn't have his own step ladder or anchor screws. In the first hour, he managed to put in 3 screws in holes that had already been marked. He claimed he "needed to remeasure" and that's why it took so long, but he used the holes that I had already marked. He also said it was too hard to do with custom cut rods. He also said it wasn't his fault because I had an anchor screw stuck in the wall already, which was the whole reason I hired him. This is what pros do: they come prepared, know the required materials and techniques, and advise the customer on the best way to proceed. I knew we needed to cut it off when he asked me how to use an anchor screw. He didn't know if you needed to pre-drill or not for a very basic and common anchor. I cannot imagine a professional handyman not knowing that. He used a level to stare at the pre-marked holes for what seemed like an eternity, just eating up time. 3 screws = $200. Seems like a nice enough man, but handyman may not be the profession for him, and that's giving him the benefit of the doubt that he wasn't just trying to take advantage of someone he assumed was too naive too know how long the job should take. He became very defensive, making excuses when I said we'd need to end the job at one hour. Im sure judging by other less than 5 star reviews here (that I really wish I'd have taken the time to read) he will post a very defensive response here as well. Please just don't take a job you don't have the required expertise to complete, and I don't want to hear defensive excuses when I'm still out $200 for almost no work completed.
