Has anyone had much in the way of dealings with this site? I'm planning on doing a relatively large (400ish pieces) order, and I need to know if they seem trustworthy/dependable or not.

I've never ordered from them, but I bookmarked the site for future use after the guys at Giant Bomb highly recommended them in a podcast.

Aridhol

I'd say 60% of the people I work with have ordered from there with no issues.

Except they ship fucking slow, like 3 weeks. Definitely a reliable site.

Well, a 9.71/10 rating with over 1200 reviews on resellerratings.com is rather impressive. I wouldn't be particularly worried.

I've used them for almost every time I've had to purchase cables. The one time I decided to buy a DVI cable from Newegg instead (to save on shipping), Newegg shipped me a cable with bent fucking pins, so I returned it and bought from Monoprice, where it came perfect.

Seriously, the place is great. Only problem I've ever had with them was when they accidentally painted the right audio cable white and the left one red on a headphone-jack-to-two-RCA-adapter.

I've ordered from the five or six times, and they're always fast and reliable. I usually have my cables within a week.

3 Weeks for shipping from monoprice.com?! Really?!

I've used them a couple of times and the cheapest shipping option took 3 or 4 days to get to me.

monoprice.com is definitely :^:

Improvolone

SO very very awesome

Shazkar Shadowstorm

Worked fine and good both times I ordered from them.

Scrublet

Site's kicked ass for me.

Zeon

A friend from work regularily makes large orders of audio/video cables from them, and hes had nothing but good things to say.

Pheezer

I order all of my cables from this site. They ship to Canada as well as the US and they process orders damned fast. Their prices are unbelievably fair, and the quality is top notch.

Pheezer

Also I've never ordered 400 cables at once, but if you're going to be doing a commercial sized buy like that, call them up and negotiate price over the phone. You can probably get a good per-unit savings and figure out your options re: delivery time better than the website would.

I'm pretty sure monoprice lists all the bulk prices right on the main product page.

Also, I majorly recommend this site. It is really really good.

Their discounts max at 50+ on the website, and even if you can't get them to go below that, you'll be able to get a firm order processing timeline/accurate shipping information if you speak to their sales people directly.

Just thought I'd add I've made a small purchase from them (about $15) and just made my second (only about $10) but their quality seems to be really good in my experience.

EggyToast

Yes, I ordered 3 cables and 2 wallplates from them. They said they'd ship in 3 days, but they arrived in 3 days instead.

exoplasm

Monoprice has been good to me. PCH Cables is also good, they sometimes have better prices. They are also very accustomed to bulk orders I believe.

I've orderd two HDMI cables and a Ninetendo Wii Component cable, I received them all promptly in the mail within about a week.... And I'm still satisfied with all my cables... I'll order from them again when I need more cables...

SeñorAmor

Wow, nice site. Glad I read this thread.

But no orange keystone jacks? What gives? Am I blind or do they not carry them?

Zonkytonkman

i monoprice.

buying cables from anyone else is simply retarded

RoundBoy

chiming in in this... everything I have ordered arrived in exactly one week .. but that is due to UPS shipping and not monoprice... they typically get orders packed and ready in less then ONE HOUR.

400+ units should involve a call to them.. but they offer top quality, no bullshit, and a solid return policy.

Bushi

Awesome! Thanks for the input, folks.

Nakatomi2010

Tell me, why do you need so many cables?

3 weeks is definitely an outlying case. I've ordered from Monoprice on several occasions, and generally have gotten my order in 3 days. They appear to be based in CA, but even on the East Coast, I'd get my orders proptly.

Never had a problem with a product or an order, and their prices on commodity cables pretty much can't be beat. I always recommend them to people who ask me for advice on AV cables. Good place to get network cables too, you can buy a whole closet's worth of patch cables for what a lot of places charge for just one.
