Their pricing is very inconsistent from item to item - some are actually not too bad, but others seem over-inflated.

I just clicked on the GHS PW ML7200 out of curiosity and found out there is an additional charge of $70.70 for shipping!

I think they are starting out and that, hopefully, they will be more consistent over time.

That being said, before ordering my TI Flats, I compared their Reverb pricing versus the pricing on their own website and the Reverb pricing was a better deal. So, I ordered on Reverb.

As far as I am concerned, I am wishing them well and I hope that over time they get better at what they do.

Faster shipping times because they do not have to go through customs as well as not having to pay tariff on large orders could be beneficial to us in the long run.

If you live in Canada, your $47.60 USD becomes $60 CAD. Then, you have to add shipping, Canadian Federal taxes and, on some occasion if the order is more than $100 CAD, an extra tariff. So, in the end, $88 CAD shipped with taxes is a good deal. Also, since it is shipped from within Canada, the shipment will get to my home faster.

  1. Ordered Ti Flats on Wednesday.
  2. Strings were shipped on Thursday.
  3. Received strings on Friday.
At the very least, ProSpec Strings is trying pretty hard to retain my business.

$58.41 CAD for a set of GHS Pressurewound ML7200? No thanks!

I can get them online for under $35 CAD, including shipping and USD/CAD exchange.

This is Wayne from ProSpec Strings I don't know where you got the price for GHS Strings but it certainly wasn't on my website as we do not sell GHS at all. Never did and probably never will.

The link provided by the OP would take you to the "Reverb" site and I was just following their links (Bass Guitars > Bass Strings > GHS) when I ended up here:

GHS Pressurewound ML7200 | Found Sound

Very confusing, to say the least...

The link you provided above is from dealer located in Australia so I'm here to defend myself against your false accusation. At ProSpec Strings we are a young on-line store located in Montreal and I make myself readily available to prospective customers to communicate to me if they find something on my website which may be a little "off". I am reasonable and very eager to please. I will do my best to provide the best possible service at the best possible price.

I wonder how you ended up on the Found Sound store on Reverb. From the links that I provided in the OP, I have found no paths leading to that page on Reverb.

I think it is an honest mistake. As far as I am concerned case closed.

I made a mistake of clicking on the second link you provided and ended up going down the wrong trail somehow.
At least I won't have to worry about having to visit their site again after being told they won't be carrying any GHS strings.

Wow. I have actually bought something from Found Sound, and I'm in the States. Wacky. Definitely odd that one would land there, but it sounds like michael somehow punched out to the reverb general category tree instead of surfing within the store. Might have been a Reverb glitch; they've been changing things around here and there a little.
