Do they ever actually send you what you bought? They say 5-7 business days but I have orders I placed in July and August of 2023 that still haven’t been processed. When I’ve reached out, they have a “what are you going to do” attitude about it. Here’s an idea, don’t sell stuff you don’t have, or if you have it like your website says, send it.

Never Shipped I placed my order for a Noah Kahan vinyl on January 4th. My bank has been charged and I’ve received my order number, but there has been no notice of shipping. It is now May and I still have not received my vinyl. I have emailed customer service and they told me I could cancel my order or keep waiting but that they had no updates. Considering this is a gift, I’m very disappointed and wish there was better communication. 5 months with no update is ridiculous.

Absolutely awful Absolutely awful. I ordered a record in November... It's now April. It still hasn't arrived, nor have I received any updates or clarification. I have contacted customer services multiple times to be told that they are waiting on the manufacturer? Don't advertise or sell products you don't have and have no plans on having then! It's an absolute joke. They have no sense of urgency, or business sense in general it would seem. Shame. Avoid at all costs unless you like being frustrated and disappointed.

Two Orders Sat for Months without Movement I have had very few positive experiences with Merchbar, the negative severely outweighs the positive. Two successful orders, one backorder, two unsuccessful orders. The two successful orders (first ever and latest) went without issue, no complaints. Found out last week that the open backorder was in stock 3 times between my date of purchase and this month (May 2024), which is pretty neat. Probably didn't have enough stock to fill backorders - annoying, not a big deal. Where I really draw the line is when not one, but two orders, both north of $200, sat for 6+ months without movement. All items ordered were listed as "In Stock" the entire time. Merchbar Support is depressingly useless, citing "warehouse and supplier issues" and regurgitating the same copy/paste answers. They claim their "website reflects the price and availability of items based on our supply partner's inventory," though I was actually able to receive my order before my order status with MB was updated from "Processing." Weird. I will say that both times, I have managed to receive my money back, unlike other reviews. I will applaud them for that much. Merchbar - Fix your business model. If the "warehouse and supplier" issues you've been having go on for longer than a couple months, maybe it's time to change tactics. I find it very hard to believe that these supposed issues are profitable. You've lost two sales fairly large sales because of this over the past year, and most assuredly lost a customer. To people reading this - If you haven't ordered already, don't. Buy directly from the artist if possible. If you are unable to, buy as close to them as possible (e.g. record label, booths, IndieMerchStore.com, etc.)

MerchBar is a SCAM Same thing everyone is saying, ordered a record, got confirmation. BUT NEVER SHIPPED. I contacted their customer service who only told me that there was issues with their supplier and had no estimated ship date. DO NOT USE, MerchBar is a scam.
