Full Set Up Ukulele Site, Worth the Wait?

[ZJS]

I’ve ordered from these fine folks before. The Ukulele site are always easy to work with. But this is the first time I decided to take advantage of a free full set up. They mentioned it could take up to 10 to 14 days to complete. I ordered a lovely uke from them on 1/21. It is now the eve of 2/8 and it still has not shipped. Does anybody have experience with this? Is it worth the wait? I’m starting to regret my decision

I ordered a uke the same exact day as you and it just shipped. So be patient, I guess. The full set-up is worth the extra time. I’ve ordered two other ukuleles from them, and the set-up was absolutely perfect.

They do a great job and know what they’re doing. I’d say it’s worth it

 

[TimWilson]

Took me two full weeks, and I agree: worth it!

 

[Just1More]

Definitely worth it.

 

[DaddyToge]

Definitely worth the wait. I’ve lost count the number of times I’ve bought from them over the years. A full setup every single time. Low end to high end.

I would wait and ask for my money back for the set-up .
They're known as being the best in the business for set-ups .
And what are your other options at this point ?

That's 10-14 business days (excludes days they are closed). Be patient, mine took the full 14 business days to ship. They are busy, give them time. It is worth the wait. They do a great job.

Well worth it. I've purchased three ukuleles from them and each one was set up perfectly.

there was also a federal holiday in there, and I'd suspect the post-holiday period is still a busy time for them

 

[ZJS]

Thanks y’all I feel better, haha. I happy to hear it will worth it, but the uke (crack) addict in me is jonesing very much looking forward to it

It is worth the wait and more. I would tell them to take their time to do a good job. If you can give them the string height at the 12th fret even better, so you can dial in the action you want. My Kanilea came with some rough edges on the fret ends next to the body. I had to take it to a local luthier to have the ends filed smooth. It might have been from my style of play but my finger nails would get caught between the fret wire and neck. Again a good set up will increase your playing enjoyment. Good luck!

Full FREE Set UP---absolutely worth the wait! They did a good job on the one uke I've purchased from them. Unless you can do it yourself to the same level, or you have a local shop to do it AT COST and whatever wait time you have from them.

Question from the new guy here...What is it they exactly do? Have a have a new Kanile'a Pineapple coming from Kanile'a at anytime...is there something I should look for? When my KoAloah's came they were set up perfect, one from KoAloaha and one from Uke Republic.

This is why I always pay extra to rush the setup Totally worth the extra charge imo.

not sure the set up guys would be going to NAMM, but maybe

Factory set up is for average player. But not everyone likes the average so stores can set it up to your personal specs.
