Hey all, I'm wondering about your experiences with this retailer

 

 

Thanks!

I've purchased from them in the past, and had good service each time.

Me too.

 

You should know that there is a sort of rule on this board against complaints about any specific commercial seller, i.e. naming and shaming (reasons lead to debates lead to heads banging, so just accept that it's there). Therefore you are unlikely to get any very specific negative reactions about this very well known U.S. retailer, and so the results of your inquiry are likely to be strongly skewed towards the positive. That said, I stand by my reaction, all interactions and transactions for me have been positive.

I've had several positive experiences with them, including a return.

 

 

As for negative views....as they old saying goes, "Praise in public, scold in private."

 

So, I've used private message if I want to share info that I don't think wise to put out to everyone.

 

Please note it's very easy to dump on someone online and tarnish their reputation. It's not easy to erase to undo it, once it's out there.

 

It's also easy to create an impression about someone based on very anecdotal info and very small data sets. Especially, if a few people pile on too, which I see happen too often. So, someone that may have a 99% positive record, get's tarnished over a few people with a negative experience. Not saying the 1% doesn't matter, just that it's a very skewed view of real situation.

 

Hence, my trying to adhere to old saying above......think it's all about how you handle the info......I share my experiences good and bad, if I think it's appropriate, just in different ways.

 

Anyway, just my 2¢.....

I ordered my Edison Menlo from them about 2 weeks ago. I didn't have any issues with them. They shipped promptly with tracking and everything was well packaged. I wouldn't hesitate to order from them again.

 

The issues I has was with USPS and my pen getting hung up at one of their facilities for several days, but that's not Goldspot's fault and a topic for a different discussion.

Yes,, Goldspot is a good dealer. I have bought from them several times and their packing and shipping practices are done with care. I would definitely buy from them again. It pays to sign up for their newsletters, too. ^_^

I’ve placed a couple of orders with them. My experience has been positive as well.

Always happy when I've used them.
