If I could leave less than 1 star I would. I have never had issues with Monoprice so I felt confident in buying 2 large 15 inch powered subwoofers. After about two weeks of use both of them stopped working. They wouldn't ship new ones until I shipped the old ones back and I no long had the boxes they came in so I had to spend 60 bucks buying boxes because they wouldn't trust that I would ship the old ones back, what would I do with non working woofers? So, I get the old ones shipped back and 5 months later I finally had my woofers. Great! I get them out of the box and they were damaged and not just a little bit, I emailed the company and nothing. They won't get back to me anymore and in looking these woofers it seems they sent me used woofers and the faceplates were broken off of both of them. I have emailed several times and called and I just get the run around and they won't send me new woofers now that I kept the boxes this time. I blew crazy money for something that I can't use now. I have never had issues with Monoprice before which is why this is so disappointing for me. I lost a brand that I trusted and they don't care.

500.00 cable order, all parts showed available, after 30 days no parts so I contacted them 6 parts were on backorder for another 30 days and one part not available till January. They were going to wait till January till they shipped my order. I am building out an office, which is opening in 12 day, and these jokers don't give a rats arse. We have used them before, but since not a good experience they absolutely will be removed from our vendor list.

Ordered 3 HDMI cables & 1 TV wall mount. Received the cables & 500' of CAT 6 cable. Customer service sucks. First thing the person (in the Philippines) wanted to know what the part number was for the CAT 6 cable (like that makes any difference), then "would I like a refund or replacement of what you had originally ordered", I told them "no, I had ordered the TV wall mount so I could receive 500' of CAT 6 cable" then "of course I want the part I had ordered. What are you people smoking." Have not heard back, no return slip for CAT 6 cable. No communication at all.

I ordered the bass guitar on Feb 7th. It arrived on Feb 10th. Packaging on the guitar was poor. Only thin cardboard with gig bag and absolutely no padding. Mine arrived with cardboard ripped open but the guitar appeared ok. Only ONE color was available online. It was a Jamm Flamed Maple guitar. This is my first guitar. Mono price offers a learning course which is a joke a few free lessons then you have to pay which I don’t plan to use after looking further into it. I purchased some books instead. When it arrived, it was the wrong color (Charcoal) or nearly all black. I would have perhaps taken a price reduction instead of sending it back, but they didn’t offer that to me, and upon further investigation, the E string 13th or 14th fret was not right. When placing finger on fret it would fret out also the fret near it making an irritating buzzing sound. All the strings were way loose (out of tune). Not a big deal since I purchased a $ 5.00 tuner from them which worked great. I liked having the choice of 2 pickups and 2 knobs for volume and 1 for tone. However, a switch to toggle between them would have been nice also. The return process was a bit of a hassle. Many automated emails with instructions followed by the customer service rep emailing you something different. Automated email said I had to take the guitar with return label to the FED EX. Why should I? Then shortly after received an email from representative asking what time would work for a pickup (that’s more like it). Not a huge deal but not “personalized” service by any means. Now I will have to take a day off work for the Fed Ex Drop off and wait for the replacement. The guitar was sent back on February 16 I received an email on Feb 23rd stating that I would receive a replacement. I received the replacement on February 27. AGAIN!!! The wrong color (charcoal) guitar. I contacted Customer service who said they would contact the management team and they would give me 15% off on my next order. I never received a response. Today is March 5. I will return this guitar once again and NO I won’t be buying another. Terrible Customer service. Also tried to leave a review and they will not post it. They only post the reviews that they choose. I purchased a guitar from their competitor and it was an excellent experience. Do yourself a favor and don't buy from this company.

Monoprice sent me several email per-week. This week an item caught my eye. A 20 foot patch cable for $1.39 and it clearly stated FREE SHIPING in the email. I went to place an order for4 cables and the order page came up showing the cable and stating again FREE SHIPING. At the bottom of the page was a shipping charge for $8.99. So much for free shipping. After calling customer support I was told I would have to order $39 before I would not be charged for shipping. Nowhere on the email or the checkout page did it say this.

Been promised a refund for faulty goods. Had to jump through hoops, make an account , god knows why as i would never buy from them ever again. Every time i contact them, ..my refund is processing . What is there to process? Had my bank details over a week now . Still no refund . Had enough of them lying and messing me about . AVOID AT ALL COSTS DATE IS WHEN I CONTACTED THEM…STILL NOT GOT MY MONEY BACK

I wanted to cancel my order at monoprice.com, but cancel option was unavailable/disabled, only return option was enabled. So I started Return process, Monoprice emailed me and it stated that I need to return the item to California and pay for shipping cost, I live in east coast, the UPS estimate for return shipping was over $100. What ?? I decided to keep the item rather than paying 3 or 4 times the item cost. I posted my review on their website describing what happened and monoprice took it down within an hour. Dishonest and very shady company.

Extremely shady business practices including spam in order invoices. They are not displaying it is a Ad that points to freeshipping.com that has nothing to do with the business or order. Very unprofessional and brings up what other questionable practices they are performing to rip off customers. Definitely makes sense other customers have had payment information leaked. Of course monoprice denies this, they wouldn't know they are compromised and if they did this shady practice proves they would not disclose it in a timely manner since it is obvious they don't care about the consumer just ripping them off.
