The Behringer 802 Xenyx mixer and the Vestax VDA 1000 power amp were ordered by me Wed nite to ship UPS 1 day, so they'd arrive Fri, and be on the plane with me Sat to New Orleans, and Sun on a 7 day cruise, to play my gig. Thurs email from Musician's Friend said the Behringer 802 Xenyx was shipped overnight, as requested, and the Vestax VDA 1000 was shipped ground, to arrive the next Tuesday, after I'd already left on the cruise where I needed it. Musician's Friend made me buy another Vestax VDA 1000 and have it shipped overnight to the Ramada Inn in New Orleans, to arrive Sat where I'd be spending the nite. This required me to call my bank and change my home address to the Ramada Inn in New Orleans so the Musician's Friend verification process would work, which is always required by them before shipping. My email this morn included one from Musician's Friend, saying this second purchased Vestax VDA 1000 amp was shipped ground also! They screwed me up twice! So my call this morn to Musician's Friend had me screaming for almost 2 minutes, being put on hold for 4 min, then told it was too late to help me, so they'd have to give me a refund, and file a Return to Sender on all 3 items. I didn't want a refund, I wanted the sound equipment! I told the floor manager at Musician's Friend they were only 40 minutes from the Kanas City airport, and they could get a Vestax VDA 1000 to me air frieght to the Ramada Inn in New Orleans. He told me Musician's Friend didn't do this, which to me is a strong indicator of the Musician's Friend true lack of concern for customer service. Now my bank will get my call to change my address back. What a pain! BTW, my ears have heard all great things about Behringer products. Also, the Vestax VDA 1000 in another web review apparently only puts out 100 watts, so the advertised numbers are not true.
