With Amazon you will pay sales tax, bumping the price to $127.72.
Bull Moose is $119.97 no tax and free shipping.
Music Direct is $142,99 BUT, they have a 15% off promo code right now and no shipping or sales tax making the price $121.54.
Then you have C.D.Imports saying they are $108.99 plus $2.99 shipping total $111.98, BUT I have fallen for this with them in the past and they cancel the order the week after the release. I think they are playing with their competitors.
Bull Moose is the best deal right now. I haven’t used them before.
I like Music Direct. They are always reliable.

Thanks for the tip but it’s not the whole story. Amazon.com has the lowest net cost.
Amazon.com also has free shipping but does have to charge sales tax in many states. For Canadian and other non-US customers Amazon pre-clears customs – saving $25 to $50 in brokerage fees. Amazon’s return policies are the best – they often pre-pay the shipping. The process of returns and credits is amazingly easy, online and requires no confrontational or embarrassing phone calls or emails. When you use any store, returns will happen and Amazon’s process is better than anyone else. They also stand behind warranties when the mfg is hard to deal with. Amazon outsells the next 5 online stores because they do it better.
Bull Moose is not bad for price but they don’t have price guarantee if the price drops again. They also charge back a fee for shipping on returns and you pay the return yourself.
“What is your return policy? Bullmoose.com will accept any unopened or defective return within 45 days of purchase. Please contact us to set up the return.
If the item we sent you was defective or not what you ordered, we will replace the item and reimburse you for shipping it back to us. If you changed your mind and don’t want what you ordered and you haven’t opened it yet, we will refund your purchase price, but not the shipping fee. If you don’t like what you bought and it is not longer sealed and still in good condition, you can sell it back for cash or store credit at one of our locations.”
Have you used Bull Moose regularly and how has the shopping experience been?
Again thanks for the comment. I love competition.
