Customer service is top notch and understanding, true to their goal of delivering what they promise. In my case, the pieces ordered were fully as described, but the performance a bit different. They on the spot admitted to their error and corrected. For other orders over time, they have been spot on in both function and quality of product.

Order *******. Placed Feb 14,2017.

Bought some headphones. Site seemed legit. NEVER GOT EM. CAVEAT LECTOR. Moreover, have had several friends who are local djs in VA mention the same thing. The site is phony. Just buy from a reputable dealer.

Unreliable
December 3, 2019

After waiting months for it to go on sale, I ordered an expensive item from Monoprice on Black Friday. On Tuesday, I got an email saying they cancelled my order (with no explanation given) and asked me to reorder. But the item was out of stock on their site. I passed on several good Black Friday deals from other retailers to purchase from Monoprice. But since they didn't cancel until after Black Friday & Cyber Monday, I missed all the deals and would have to pay hundreds more to get the same item. Their customer service offered no apology or explanation.

The website is very easy to navigate. The products are dirt cheap, yet high quality. I've ordered HDMI cables, audio cables, bulk speaker wire, speaker parts, laptop power supplies, and a host of other items. Have never been dissatisfied.

I LOVE MONOPRICE
February 27, 2020

Monoprice.com is my GO TO for all things Audio/Visual, Computer, & Wiring. I have used Monoprice as the most cost effective online retailer for those needs that I can find. I've bought numerous TV Wall mounts for various homes, hdmi cables, computer equipment, gaming headphones, you name it!
On top of that, their customer service is top notch! My computer illiterate, 75 yr old mother bought my teen son a pair of gaming headphones we found on Monoprice. She had to call and be walked through how to order them online. They were very patient. Then, almost two months later, they needed to be replaced as one side inexplicably stopped working. They were very reasonable and user friendly during the entire process. He received a replacement pair expeditiously!
We love Monoprice!

As we all understand that the pandemic has impacted various businesses, Monoprice appears to fail to have adapted. I have trusted this company, their customer service, and a decent expectation of their products since 2005 (As a business customer). With a recent work project I have had multiple large orders.
My first order had a small shipping claim, That was August 6th. No big deal, I have yet to receive the replacement parts the claimed to be sending.
Remaining orders continue to have unexpected warehouse delays, even when paying for expedited shipping, customer service wont offer any assistance, or accommodation for late orders beyond "I am happy to issue an RMA and you can re-order and pay more for overnight shipping". It is a darn shame the are unable to adapt, please update your customers upfront at POS that there may be delays. ITS OK, we can plan for it. But when you offer shipping delivery dates, I expect to receive by those dates.

Hello Andrew,

I greatly apologize for your recent experience with us. Unexpected challenges with a warehouse move have caused delays and in some cases, we have failed in our clear communication with our customers. Please allow me the opportunity to regain your trust as these delays are not our usual way of conducting business.

Please send me your order numbers, and contact information to escalations@monoprice.com and I will make sure to improve your experience.

Thank you,

Laura P./Customer Service

This site has two things a shopper likes. Reliable service and unbeatable prices. For HDMI's to TV stands monoprice has shown me constantly that they know their $#*!. Highly recommended for it's accessories, speakers and electronic equipment.

Avoid at all cost!
April 20, 2022

Order number: *******
Purchased a desk from them - that was a mistake! The package shipped 2 days late. 8 days later their website still shows status as payment received/In progress. Package never received. Instead, I ended up calling FedEx for 2 days trying to find my package. Spoke to the Monoprice rep and asked if they can find out what's going on with my package - no callback. Don't waste your time and money just buy it from a more reputable place. I requested a full refund. Don't waste your time buying anything from these guys - not professional at all!

I must say I was a bit dubious when I ordered a 3D printer from them (cause price was fantastic) but alas, the products was delivery promptly and with per-loaded files ready for my 9 year-old to print away. Where Monoprice really shined however was their Customer Service. Responsive and went above and beyond to remedy a small issue. Cant say enough about what this meant to me & my Son. Paul and his team were awesome and that's why I am writing a review (something I never do!). Kudos to Monoprice for delivering on all fronts: Price, Quality. Customer Support.

Great Company
May 30, 2020

I have ordered only a couple things from Monoprice, but in my experience, they are the best online company. Their products ship quickly and work well. If something is a defect, they imiediatly offer to replace. On that note, their customer service is just as good or better than their products. Kind yet knowledgeable people waiting to assist. They get straight to the point of the problem very swiftly. Products are never overpriced. Very good return/refund policy. Overall, this is an amazing company. I definitely would recommend Monoprice to a friend any day.

Just bought our second 3D printer. The voxel is awesome and my 11 year old has found a new passion and skill set in the world of 3d design and printing. We had a small customer support issue which was handled quickly and efficiently. Great company. US-based. Extra bonus...

Awesome prices, very low
February 12, 2022

Electronics is considered to be something that move the world forward nowadays. There are some people who can't get along with electronics just because thwere born in the previous century when there were no technologies at all. I decided to gift my grandpa a new smartphone. He has already acquired one but it was abou ten years ago. So, it's old enough. I ordered ti here because I was attracted by the prices. They are really cool and they are considered to be the lowest I have ever faced. I will definitely apply here once when I will require a new smartphone, because prices are awesome.

I've been buying from monoprice instead of big box electronic stores over the past few years due mainly to the ability to talk to someone who can give me a good answer and alternatives. I can alwasy speak with someone who not only points me in the right direction, but educates me during the process. On two occasions I've had a product be faulty or missing from an order. Both times they've made it right with speed.

Helpful but broken
March 21, 2019

I used the online request help function on the monoprice website about a dozen times, from several different email addresses without so much as a confirmation email. It wasn't until I had to hunt down their tech support email address that I got into contact with someone. After that they were quick, streamlined, and very helpful. Despite the annoyances, still a good company that I will continue to use.

Monoprice is Legit
April 28, 2019

Great company that stands by their products. I had an adapter fail and couldn't find my order number. Jovi spent a great deal of time trying to resolve my problem and did. Extremely patient customer service and resolved my problem in a timely manner. Returns were easy too. Can't say enough good stuff about Monoprice and recommend them to everyone that needs electronics.

They will not rescind an order even 15 min. After it is entered on a weekend (or any other time) You pay the shipping both ways on a returns and they do not make that clear when requesting a return ID label. Merchandise is no better, price is no better, and customer service is a concept utterly lost on them.

Great prices and selection, good quality cables. But if ever you have a problem and need tech support or to get warranty service, forget it. Actually I don't know if their customer support is good or bad, I've not been able to contact them to find out.

I made the mistake of ordering a "refurb" product. These guys it seem just send you something that was returned be a previous customer, It is clear they did not even powered it up, I think before I return this I'll write "This is broken" on it just to warn the next customer.

Service is horrible but then hopefully you don't need it.

Like others say, generally good quality and prices. The problem is that no actual humans work there. You may have to have your bank charge back your credit card if there is a problem.
