B-Stock Products -
Samedaymusic some times offer B-Stock merchandises at special discounts. These are returned products in less than perfect condition which has the same service benefits as a new product like 60 days warranty and other benefits.
I will give a 9.5/10 for Samedaymusic.com considering their Bizrate rating, Speedplay Option, wide range of products, Same Day shipping feature and 60 days price protection and 60 days return policy(which is exceptional as compared to zZounds and Activemusician who offer only 30 days)

Testimonials
I couldn't believe it! I ordered a drumset for my nephew for his birthday through your website just 2 days before his birthday. Ordering so late I just knew it wouldn't arrive until a few days after his birthday. I was thrilled when he called during his "big party day" to say it arrived and Thanks. He's still young enough that getting your birthday presents on the day of is still a big deal. Thank you so much!"

"Your service and products are absolutely outstanding! I've used Musician's Friend & Music 123 and they can't touch your firm! It's good to know there's still a musical merchant that cares for its customers! Members of Harmony Central recommend you guys. I read their reviews and I'm glad I did. Thanks again & have a great day!

"I can hardly believe that we received the order yesterday - just one day after ordering it! What excellent service! Thank you - the bag is great!"

"ActiveMusician has exceeded all my expectations of an on line equipment purchase. Not only did you confirm my shipment within minutes of my inquiry, you upgraded for Saturday delivery in an emergency situation. And you went the extra mile again to provide tracking numbers to my home and work e-mail. It was an absolute pleasure doing business with you and I will recommend your services to anyone looking to buy online."

"You guys are awesome! I placed my order Tuesday morning and the item was delivered Wednesday UPS. Unbelievable service!"

"I ordered drums for my 13-year-old grandaughter for Christmas. They were ordered on December 21st. I thought there was no way she'd get them in time for Christmas and probably not before New Year's Day. To my surprise, she called us on December 23rd and said she'd already received them. Now that is amazing service. The drums are beautiful and she's estatic! We will surely be ordering more musical equipment in this coming year. Another thing. I'd gone to the local music store which carries lots of equipment and they were out of the drums I wanted to purchase. I got online and found activemusician.com and was able to find the drums I wanted and in a color I wanted. Hats off to your good service and good products."

My Rating:
I will give only an 8/10 for Activemusician as they do not provide FREE Shipping for products worth below $199 and no installment option for it's customers. Their Bizrate rating is only average. Their return policy doesn't mention anything about replacement or exchange. So I would recommend Samedaymusic or zZounds.com if you need Free Shipping, Installment options and Warranty policy.
