I was trying to buy some new mic stands through Audioeast. They had
the lowest price on the web for what I wanted. They e-mailed me and told me it would take 6-8 weeks because there was a shortage on these stands in the US.
Well I need these stands now I couldn't wait, so I called Musician's Friend (Guitar Center). They matched the price and guarrenteed delivery in 2-5 business days. I confirmed they had them in stock.

This is some of there verbage in audioeast's e-mail:

I'll get one to you as quickly as anybody else can.
If you cancel your order you lose your place in line. By the time these stands get to the USA there will be a few thousand on backorder so you'll get it sooner by leaving it on order.

Hmmmm - I don't think I'll ever take their word for anything again.

Stick with the major players as far as purchasing gear, like you found out, they will generally price match & can get it to you quick!

I know - I called around to the local Guitar Centers and they didn't carry the stand I wanted. So I didn't think their online store carried it. When I had this problem with
Audioeast I started searching the net to find out later, they do have it. I will never again deal with off the road companies - I'll stick with the ones who have been good to me already.
