Don't have any experience with Bax.
As for "when am I ready?" You'll never be ready. It works in reverse, you become ready by doing it. - pmbomb
Ebay mark7777_1
They once "refused" to ship an item to me that they'd priced a bit too cheaply which involved them just not shipping it for 6 weeks and pretending they didn't know what was going on.
In the end I had to cancel to get access to my funds then lo and behold the item went straight back up on their website at a new higher price.
Other than that example of box "shifty" behaviour, bog standard deals have been ok with them.
So I decided not to buy from them or anyone who uses Evri/Yodel as a courier.
Thankfully arrived safely as it was double boxed.
Raised a couple of QC issues with them via customer services and received a standard "we understand you would like to return your purchase"
Wouldn't bother again unless deal is really good
Great customer service for a big retailer.
G4M have always been great (Though I don't think I've ever bought anything 'big' from them)
Bax have been fine. My Fender Tonemaster is from them and was B-Stock. Can't find a single mark on it and was on original packaging. They shipped super quick too.
I wouldn't be too worried either way. Don't know if you can get to G4M to try their stock and pick a 'good' one? Think they're in York though no idea if they stock stuff there.
Since Brexit Bax has established an office here in the UK so if you have to return anything it's fast and easy. I bought a pedal once in a clearance sale - insane price - that arrived faulty. They had no quibbles in taking it back, sent me the Parcelforce label, and got me a brand new one, ostensibly from the supplier since at the time they only had the one in stock. They certainly didn't have to replace something that they sold so cheaply, but they did and I give them kudos for that.
Stuff does ultimately get shipped from the Netherlands though so as has been mentioned it's difficult to get anything fast - I think they do two shipments a week to the UK so what day you'll get it depends on what day you order it.
That said G4M ships a lot of stuff from European warehouses now too and they can charge a LOT of money for small things, which is super annoying.
stupid decision I’m definitely not going there ever again.
Guitar Guitar are brilliant I’ve bought lots of guitars amps and gear from them over the years and had nothing but exceptional service from them over the phone and online.
I will say the same goes for GAK brilliant service.
