StewMac
Hi all, I found out by accident, as I was ordering some goodies, that StewMac are giving 10% discount on all NZ orders as a kind gesture following the Chch shootings.

Re: StewMac
Bummer. Oh well, might need to order stuff I don't really need to justify the postage
Did you buy some good stuff?

Re: StewMac
Just buy the double action truss rods from ebay. I've put them in loads of guitars over 7 years and not one has been anything less than great. They're about $7 shipped to your door.

Re: StewMac
Is i really only a charitable gesture if you then go on to donate the 10% saved to a cause?
I mean it's nice and all. And good on them. But As far as I can tell all ir achieved was to entice a few kiwi buyers to shop there. The cinic in me sees a bit of commercial gain here.
But what do I know .

Re: StewMac
You may be right. I think it's a nice gesture though, given that it's not advertised and blasted at you as soon as you go on the site. I didn't notice until I got to the checkout so I take it as a 'hey, NZer, here's 10% off to show that we recognise your country has had something horrible happen there' thing. There are a few guitar builders on here who I thought may be needing supplies and could take advantage of it.StrummersOfThunder wrote:Is i really only a charitable gesture if you then go on to donate the 10% saved to a cause?

Re: StewMac StewMax
Has anyone taken up the StewMax offer? https://www.stewmac.com/StewMAX/StewMAX ... rship.html
I'm wondering whether it's worth it and whether the free shipping is painfully slow?

Re: StewMac
Was tempted, depends on how urgent you want items I guess. The cost is aound the same as postage for one order, so anything after that is free shipping.

Re: StewMac StewMax
I paid for a StewMax membership and had some books shipped last week which arrived yesterday. 6 day from Dispatch to my door via FedEx (despite saying 1-4 weeks). There is a caveat in the fine print that anything over 7lbs incurs a shipping fee at which point you might as well not have bothered if you are hoping to ship something big/heavy free of charge. However if you are buying the 1/2 price books/dvds/plans etc. then the free shipping is the icing on the cake.Basket Case wrote:Has anyone taken up the StewMax offer? https://www.stewmac.com/StewMAX/StewMAX ... rship.html

Previously when I've paid for DHL (Expensive) shipping it's been as quick as 55 hours from Ohio to Wellington.
