Members D-log Posted November 29, 2012 Members Share Posted November 29, 2012 Well, This is what this month's deal thread has done to me (Sorry about the poor pic quality): Schecter PT Standard, Fender Highway One Strat, Gibson Studio Les Paul and a Vox Night Train all in the same month Not shown is a Mexican Tele I also happened to score, but I've decided to sell it. Looks like I'm doing a lot of overtime in the next month Thanks to all who posted their deals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will MF match the 20% off so I can skip the sales tax? Thanks, maggles Here's the thing, MF, GC, M123, and WWBW, and Music Arts, and probably a couple others are the same company and the same rep can put in an order under any of those companies. I'd just call in, tell them you have the coupon, and ask him if he can enter the order under MF so you can skip the tax. I actually had the opposite happen to me the other day. I called M123 to place an order, at the end of the order the guy read me the total and added tax. I asked him why they were suddenly adding tax to my orders and he said "well, we have a store front in a city in your state so we have to add tax." I then quickly went to M123's FAQ and found the info on sales tax and read it to him and it did not include my state. When I finished reading it to him he said "oh....you were calling M123? I put the order in under Music Arts....hold on...lemme redo the order under the M123 system..." and it finally rang it up without tax. My guess is you should be able to find a rep that will let you do what you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are under the same umbrella but somehow, technically, on paper, they are seen as separate entities so just because there's a GC in your state doesn't mean you'll have to pay tax if you order from MF. I order from MF and M123 with no tax and there's a GC right down the street from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guitar arrived yesterday - and it's awesome - but the M123 order still doesn't appear under "Orders in "My Account" and I've received no 123 Reward points for the purchase. Two messages to Customer service have been ignored. Is this M123 standard policy for price matches or am I getting hosed? FWIW - I was also told that the MF certificates were "like cash" Sorry for the confusion with the M123 quotes. The short explanation is that Music123 actually runs on two different websites; one old platform that has the quoting functionality built in, and the new site which does not. Your account is on the new site, but we have to direct you back to the old site for the quote. Originally Posted by brianeharmonjr Yeah, damaged in shipping and not keeping it, but they don't have any more Midtown Standard P-90 models left. I only got it because it was too good of a deal to pass up with the gift certificate, and I'm sure they'll make me a deal on something else, but I can't really afford to keep it if I'm not still getting the gift certificate and I'm not sure I can make my money back if I don't like it and need to sell. Just a {censored}ty situation and further pushing me away from Gibson-style necks. I don't think I've had any better than 50/50 luck on shipping or having Gibson-style necks shipped to me. Not a good start to my day. I got your PM and have replied. Again, I'm truly sorry this happened and I look forward to getting it taken care of for you. Originally Posted by Beyer160 MAP violation?

It sounds more like your company has completely screwed the pooch on this pricematch fiasco and you're in spin-control mode. It's obvious the right hand at MF/GC/M123 doesn't know what the left hand is doing. I appreciate you're in a tough position, but don't just make up bull{censored}. Somebody above your paygrade needs to make a call on this, so get back to us when they do. I'm sorry if it seemed like I was making any thing up. I assure you that I am not. Navigating MAP agreements with our vendors can be extremely complicated, and some vendors will hold us accountable if an email from us goes from being on a person-to-person basis to the public realm. Be it email (or we post on a forum where we've identified ourselves as an employee), they can consider that a form of advertising as soon as we put in writing and it's where everyone can see it. The change for the better I referenced earlier is that we will not have any brand exclusions on the 50% difference codes being sent out for price matches. This is also a part of why I want that brand list removed. The last thing we all need is more confusion on this.

MF only has to charge tax in states we physically have a presence regardless of GC's presence. Sincerely, Chris Baker Night Supervisor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Help? Sorry I missed that. It comes down to the differing sites again. The Rewards program is on the new site, the only thing on the old site is quoting. We should be able to manually add the points for you once your order is outside the return policy. All you'll need to do is reach out to us after the order's been placed.

Exactly. Jesuschrist, with you guys. Not enough that they matched a blowout price, but they give you hundreds of dollars in store credit, and it's still not enough. Some confused CSR misspoke, and now the company has to be held to strict liability?!?! I bet some of you still have orders that haven't shipped yet. Shoot Mr. Baker an email with the order number and just cancel the goddamned thing. Do you crybabies even play guitar?! Have wonderful evenings!

I'm happy to answer any questions people may have, although I will say that emailing forums@musiciansfriend.com may get you answers faster. I've got people checking those emails pretty much around the clock.
