Hi folks -
This is a simple letter of thanks for a job very well done. Firstly, kudos on the super fast shipping, it was an important thing to me. Secondly, but most important, the product knowledge, accurate descriptions, and matching options are unrivaled in my experience. This is an electronic art form, that is to say, the "personality" of these type of parts are the deciding factor in which to use, and you exemplary skills in the field serve people like me very well. I needed matched pairs of tubes for some 1949 Ampex 300 preamps that originally sported Telefunken's from that era. Not only did you have the orginaal Telefunken's (although out of my price range, but amazing just the same) - but your description of the plate structure and sound characteristics of alternate tubes has made me one happy studio owner. The Ei Elite Gold 12AX7's are unbelievable in comparison. If I didn't know better, I would sear these were Tele's in those preamps - and the low microphonic/noise floor matching service was well worth the minuscule amount you charge for that service. Again, thank you for your help, quick shipment, and general expertise on a subject so few are expert in. I will certainly be recommending you to all in my area - best to all on that end.
Great service,great prices
With the exception of FedEx leaving the box sans signature on my porch, everything was great.
Tubes arrived promptly, without any problems. Customer Service was not needed because everything happened as advertized. Price was competitive, but I remember when I was buying tubes 40 years ago.... I am incapable of saying that the present prices are good.....
Found Tubedepot.com by accident. Looking for tubes for an old Ampeg amp and a guy on the Ampeg forum directed someone else there for tubes. I checked out the site and they had all the tubes I needed (9 in all) in stock and prices were very competetive with other places I had checked but didnt have the whole order in stock. Selected regular shipping and the order showed up in 3 days. Installed the tubes and amp fired right up so no complaints and will order from them again.
This was my first online purchase and I was very pleased to find how easy it was. TubeDepot had the lowest price on the tubes I needed, and I had them in only two days. I was also very happy to find they offered tracking information, sending me a link to trace it right away. Thanks TubeDepot!
Ive used the TubeDepot on several occasions, and have always found their prices, quality, and service to be at least competitive, if not exemplary. I have been especially pleased with their prompt shipment and delivery. The only reason I gave them a 3 (neither good nor bad) for Customer Service is because Ive never had to deal with them (customer service). I buy tubes from a number of different sources, but the TubeDepot is becoming my vendor of choice. Stacy Franks Houston, TX.
Shipping is very fast, goods are packed well. The packinglist and part count were correct. Im very pleased with my order from TubeDepot. I will order from them again without any hesitation.
My amp has never sounded better! Great tubes at a great price. Thanks!
Great products! well packaged! The 10 to 14 days shipping estimation is at best hopeful. It took over a month to recieve the tubes I ordered. Wasnt impressed.Get the express delivery if you intend on buying from the tube depot or you might be waiting a good long while. I really think they should put on their website that it is only an estimation and it could take a lot longer. The woman that received my call was a bit defensive with me when I called to talk with the manager Christian,thats why I gave them a RATING OF 2 in customer service Tracy Sullivan tracymoi@telusplanet.net Round Table Records
I found TubeDepot on line. They had the tubes I needed. Placing the order was simple. My order arrived early and was accurate. What more could one ask for?

These are the best folks in the Vacuum Tube business! Excellent selection, superb service, excellent prices, and super-fast shipping. None better!
Very easy, fast delivery, good price. If you were scared to the purchase online no longer there are excuses
Great experience with TubeDepot. I had ordered 4 Sovtec power tubes and I received them within a few days intact. Intitially when I had ordered late at night, and the next morning I had received an email stating that my tubes were not in stock. I was reassured that they would be in by the end of the week. Well 3 days later, I had received another email telling me my order had been shipped. I was very happy that they were honest with me and let me know that my tubes were not in stock, and gave me a realistic timeframe. Honesty scores big points in my book. Ill definately be ordering from TubeDepot again.
absolutely the best net purchase experience to date. customer service,.. superb. it may have been 2 minutes after the order when i recieved the confirmation. I ordered before the weekend and recieved it exactly 3 days later as posted. product arrived well wrapped and in perfect condition. very nice!!!
Always a pleasure... thank you
Overall, an excellent experience shopping at TubeDepot. As an electronics engineer, building and restoring vintage radio & Hi-Fi amplifiers is my hobby. Having damaged a valve (sorry, tube!) of an obsure type, I thought it would take a long time to find one. A quick search revealed several resellers that could supply but TubeDepot had the stock and a excellent special price! Purchased six and several other difficult to obtain valves, manufacturers vary greatly & TubeDepot staff let me choose from an e-mailed list! Delivery to the UK expensive but well worth the cost against the product prices! Only three working days to arrive at my address in the UK. Great! I will be ordering again soon... ...
in my opinion these guys are among the very best. if you love tube amps and want great nos tubes or contemporary versions they have them and are very competitively priced. you cant go wrong. thanks brian w.
Tube Depot is an excellent source for a hard-to-find item such as vacuum tubes. I found the descriptions and recommendations very helpful. I cannot know everything about tubes as I am a player, so I appreciate a business that will give, what appears to be, unbiased information. The product performs up to expectations. Delivery was lightning-fast and VERY well-packed. What else can we want out here in Consumer-Land? Jim Easterling
the rca tube manual was an excellent high quality reprint.nicely done thanks
transparent homepage, super fast shipping (even to europe!), excellent items.
Delivered fast and efficent, Thank You; Carl
Overall, this was a fantastic company to deal with. Email questions were replied to quickly. Shipping was surprisingly affordable and quick. I will be buying from them again.
A pleasure to do business with. Great selection. price and service.
Great communication and customer service! The best!!
Always satisfied w/Tube Depot. Will purchase from them in the future.
Great online store. Always great service and fast shipping. My place to go for small electronics and tubes. Mike
You will not find an easier way to shop for and purchase tubes anywhere else. There selection alone is worth your time. From budget friendly entry-levels to the high end European models, they have what you need. Shipping was fast and hassle free. You cant go wrong.
Fantastic service offered by TubeDepot, I have already ordered more supplies from them and will most definately choose them above any other supplier of tube related gear that I need. Thanx TubeDepot.
great service as before, well done tube depot and federal express for getting the goods here so fast. greg simons.
Great will definitely shop with again. Super fast shipping, no problems at all. Highly recommend.
clicked on what I wanted, tons of shipping options to choose from, the tubes came in on the date they were suppossed to. no problems
No problems. Good products. Easy to navigate site.
This is where Im buying my tubes from now on. Thanks guys.
Excellent service and I really appreciate their fair shipping terms - Im so tired of getting ripped off by other vendors who add on exorbitant shipping and handling fees. I will definitely buy from TubeDepot.com again!
Very good people to deal with,knowledgeable.
This merchant deals in products that we do not all use every day, and some of the products can be rare or difficult to find. Email updates are superb, and service after the sale, including communication is outstanding. Everyone should do business like Chris!
Great selection, fast shipping, Ill be back!
Very helpful in product selection. Will return for future business. Chritian was very helpful.
The most comprehensive site I have found to date - I will buy here until I die!
Didnt have any reason to deal with customer service.
Good price and service as well as wide selection
Did exactly as promised and delivered sooner than expected
Great products and fast shipping. Thanks again!
A very fast response retailer. It had what I wanted which others did not have. I would always shop with them. Keep up the good work.
Not a Hitch
This is my second and return visit to Tube Depot, and the reason I have come back is because the first time I received everything from an Online Retailer that I would expect - excellent customer service in reply to my questions, best price I could find, cheapest and quickest shipping, goods well packed, well designed and easy to navigate website. What more could you want???!!!
The only one thing I would like to see is a Ratings Table combined with a Professional/expert review for the different types of tube, for example, all brands of 12ax7 - including things like tonality, gainy-ness, best/most common uses/amps for each brand, reliability, microphonics, etc... I really think it would help individual customers make more informed decisions about this most vital, and misunderstood part of the amplifier tone chain!!! And possibly cut down on annoying questions from tone-concerned customers like myself... : )
Considering the relatively disposable nature of a tube in a tube amp, it means that customers like myself, who play professionally, and own several tube amps working regularly, will be also changing tubes fairly regularly - and I think a way of ranking each brand of tube against the other, would greatly reduce the trial and error nature of buying a set of tubes. In my early trial and error days, I have experienced the disappointment of buying a set of really expensive NOS tubes, and then finding out they were not really right for a guitar amp. Very frustrating!
Anyway, thanks again for your excellent service, I hope you consider my suggestions, for something along those lines will guarantee a return customer out of me for my guitar playing life!!!
Cheers...
allways the best choice for Tubes and more !
I ordered a set of tubes from their Rare NOS../Recent additions -list. It took three weeks to find one missing item but otherwise everything worked out fine. Overseas delivery to Europe took four days door-to-door and tubes arrived in perfect condition.
the scores for delivery was due to fedex, everything else was great.
Good overall, would buy from again. Shipping options/shipping cost could be better.
received the order in a timely fashion, with immediate info. on order tracking, order arrived correct, well packaged and safe.... JOB WELL DONE...
Excelent services, no comments to add. If I need to buy again, I will buy at the same place. Thanks
Tube Depot has a good and usable web site, offers lots of tube brands and indicates the actual bias of the tubes they sell (most do not do this), which makes them a great place from which to buy tubes. Also, when there was a problem with the shipper, they offered to assist and stayed in touch with me through the actual delivery (the delivery problem had nothing to do with Tube Depot.) Thanks, -Markg
As usual, very wonderful on-line experience- quick.
Superb communication, selection, service, and speed of shipping. Very Highly Recommended!
They are the least expensive on the web, with fast shipping, and an excellent product. Im very pleased!
The fastest turnaround that ive ever had. 3 days between processing can shipping to my door from the midwest to california. tubes came well packaged, the 6L6s came as a set of 4 matched tubes. i was very pleased, and so is my old carvin stack.
I was very happy with my purchase, I received it in a timely manner.Tube sounds good in my new mic. Shelton Wheat
An excellent company overall. Had one item backordered that held up an urgent order, without notification, but I am still very pleased as a customer.
I think the vendor should change their delivery prices policy. I paid a few dollars for a handful of parts and had to pay more than 20 dollars for their shipment to Poland.
Fast delivery - EXCELLENT service!!!
Good honest people to deal with
got the goods in two days from the states, very good service. well done tubedepot, will use this company again.
Item shipped quicker than expected, very pleased!
I didnt have to deal with customer service so, I really cant honestly rate it so I put it in the middle. They ship out very fast and I liked that shipping was so inexpensive.
The EL34s sound awesome! Its like I have a new amp. The tube arrived within 3 days. Great price and fast shippment with their 3 day fedex. The place where I had them put in and biased quoted me over the phone $90 for a matched quad. I got them through these guys for almost have the cost with shipping included, then the guy who put them in asked me how much I paid and I told him just under $52, He raised his eyebrows and turned around and said he would of only charged me $48. Whats 4 bucks when he would have charged me $90 origially. The tubes sound great. I have a marshall 100watt JMP 79 modified through 4 12s Its so much louder now and I dont need to use a distortion pedal for the sound I want. the ruby tubes I had before were good, I just had them in there for over 5 years, So they were starting to fade. These electro harmonics are killer! They Looked Identical to the Rubys. Their probably the same company, anyway their great bang for the buck. Satisfied customer. thanks
Fast, easy and convenient. Had no problems whatsoever and was completely satisfied with the tubes I chose, based on the information they provide on their web site.
Great selection of articles, great service, good prices.
Great tube vender highley recomended...
I was very pleased with the timely manner that the transaction took place, and the product is just what I was looking for. I checked a lot of other different places, and no one had what I was looking for until I finally tried TUBEDEPOT. My only drawback was with the instructions that I left for the shippers. They did not follow the instructions, and that made me wait an extra two days for the product. Other than that, I was very pleased. I would gladly try TUBEDEPOT again for any of my electronic needs.......in fact, youll be my first choice.
Carl Sumler cssumler@comcast.net
Excellent prices, fast shipping although I wish they would use USPS priority so I dont have to be home to sign for it. They are very accurate and always have what I need in stock. Ill use these guys over the local way overpeiced (for old caps none the less) amp repair shops any day! They are my new source for amp parts!!
The quickest service and delivery Ive experienced to date.
Great service. Would buy from again in a flash.
The company quickly rectified the problem that the Mullard tubes I ordered were wrongly shipped to Egypt instead of Australia by FedEx. The tubes finally arrived Australia were in an excellent condition. I highly recommend TubeDepot for anybody who wishes to purchase vintage tubes from outside US.
I am pleased with the prompt service and responsibility of this seller. I will purchase additional tubes from them with the confidence I only give to my best resources.
Excellent selection and prices, very fast shipping, knowledgeable and responsive customer service. Highly recommended.
Very good buying experience. Will use TubeDepot.com in the future.
The items were well packed and very fast in arrival.
thank you, i will buy from you again!
Found what I needed quickly. Ordering & payment was easy. Delivery was first rate. Quicker than I expected. Well packed. Good place to do business.
A++ Higly recommended.

I will do business with them again
Everything as described, nice transaction, will do it again. :-)

All worked out very well and Im very content with it !
Christian is very helpful.
I have always gotten superior service from TubeDepot.com. Order is always correct and on-time.
Excellent in all respects!
Package was shipped on-time without any damages. Good customer service when I had some questions after the purchase.
All good except it took a while longer than I was used to, probably because of the London bombings, plus it took a while for the tracking info to be entered. No problems otherwise, good customer support.
fast,honest,great website,the true pros in diy hi-fi
Again. Fast delivery of what was ordered. Thanks. Did not use customer service.
It was easy to find what IO wanted, or der it, and the price was the best I found. The prodcut was shipped immediately and atrrived ina few days. A+++
I have ordered twice from them. They are always right on it. Their brief review of tube types is helpful.
EVERYTHING WAS GOOD. THANKS.
Im happy with them and will buy from again. Regards John R. Beran
When an item was not in stock they contacted me and gave me options. I made a substitution and they got it out Fedx. Prices are better than Antique Radio Supply and customer service is as good. I will buy from them again. Highly recommend.
I have done business with Tube Depot several times and I keep going back because they are an excellent company that I can always rely on. Thank you. Joey Brasso Welsh
excellent place to buy componets that will work in vintage tube equipment.
Nothing to say, simply excellent and fast service.
Very good store. Have ordered from them before, and will order from them again.
Excellent service. Fast response to any question. A++
Perfect from all point of views.
i am the frequent onlie buyer from hong kong and this is the best company with their excellent service and their product are of high quality.you really do not have to worry after you enter your credit cards pin number no matter which part of the world you are in long live tube depot hemant, hong kong
This is an excellent business with incredibly fast shipping and great communications about order and shipping status.
Great prices. Fast shipping. Excellent choice of tubes. I going to buy my next set of tubes from TubeDepot.com.
Excellent online experience! The website was very easily navigated, the item descriptions were thorough and accurate. I purchased two guitar speakers, and the whole process of researching, calculating shipping costs, and placing my order took less than ten minutes. I received a confirmation email from Tube Depot in seconds, email updates of my orders status, and finally, the speakers arrived a day earlier than Fed Ex had predicted. Oh, yeah -the speakers are exactly what I was looking for, too!
Im very happy dealing with Tube Depot, and Ill be back for more.
They were great. They helped me find what I needed.
My only comment is that the search only finds exact matches. My tube did not have an A at the end, and I was unable to find it on the website because the description had an A on it. The page with all the tubes listed is just very confusing. So I called and they helped me. I also needed a single power tube, and the website only had matching pairs. I also called on that and they said to just write it in my comments on the order. They were very nice and helpful.
I just think it would be easier for them if the site had a better search and listed more options for purchasing tubes in their inventory. There are a lot of single power tube amps out there.
Many Thanks Folks!
I have tried several tube services and found tube depot to be the fastest and most reliable. They also help if you have questions and arent out to kill you on shipping. I will definitely order from them again and I am happy I found them! Brennan Condo Jersey City
The tubes I ordered online were as described. WELL packed + prompt delivery.The website was easy to use. Overall, a smooth transaction. I will use again.
This vendor provides the level of customer service that I receive from my locally owned music shop. Whenever I need tubes again, Tube Depot is where I will be shopping.
Excellent merchant, my purchase from perfect from start to finish... I wish there were more merchants on the internet that satisfied their customers like Tube-Depot..
The best!- Lowest price I could find,exceptional packing,I had it in 3 days.
allways quality, fast shipping, good pricing - never let down
Excellant all the way around. Christian at Tube Depot helped select the right tube pre-purchase, and it work great in my gear. I will purchase from Tube depot again. Thank You Jon Robbins
Excellent service and competive pricing.
These guys are the best. Always very helpful
Tube Depot.com is a very informative web site for the musician in search for the Holy grail of TUBE TONE. I enjoyed the experince abd will shop there again! MoDELl-T
I keep making purchases,buy confident
TubeDepot.com has a wide variety of interesting electrical products for sale. The companys website is ergonomic, intuitive and easy to navigate. Photos and clear information for all Tube Depots products are available and the the items I wanted were in stock. Online ordering and payment were a breeze and my order was well packed and shipped in an expeditious manner. I did some fairly extensive online research on products and pricing before deciding to order from Tube Depot. For some reason, I just felt safe placing an order with them. Tube Depots prices are fair and were in line and often more reasonable than those at firms selling similar items. I am now finalizing an order for additional items from them. Tube Depot appears to be well-run and professional in its dealings with the public. I would not hesitate to purchase items from them in the future.
Good company and fair price!
This is about my fourth order of tubes and each time I have had emails confirming my order and the shipment date with tracking number. The shipping cost is low and the tubes have always arrived rapidly and in perfect condition. I havent had to use customer service. Will keep getting all my tubes here.
Excellent selection and execution of order; will use again!!!
nice new set of tubes for my peavey classic 20, you can call them up and ask questions, friendly, good deal!
They did O.K....I ordered the wrong part and gave them a call to change the order. I got my tubes in a few days.
really appreciated the prompt and hassle free purchase and delivery, thank you.
Truly awesome service. Incredibly quick delivery. Best price in the industry. Inexpensive shipping charges.Item was packed securely. Two thumbs up!
Perfect matching tubes. Fast service, great selection fo tubes.
Great tubes and delivered in a couple of days (a day faster than tracking indicated). I will definitely buy from the Tube Depot again!
great service thank you
1. The DIY still didnt completed, no idea about the customer service. 2. Hope to have more clear description on the tube. 3. Price compare to any other store. 4. Best buy/performance items every month. 5. There are only several DIY Stero amplifier, do not know how good of these amplifier. 6. The amplifier price compare to completed assembly product.
Beautiffuly matched tubes, sound grat. I love to buy in Tubedepot.com
Friendly and efficient service and for United Kingdom customers their shipping options mean that you can chose a method which will usually mean that you do not have any nasty surprises from H.M. Customs and Excise.
Quick service. Very helpful on the phone!
I had a very good experince with this store. The site is user-friendly. Easy to navigate, lots of tubes, well stocked. Ill be shopping here again soon.
Great purchase! Ordered online and received a matched set of quad power tubes (KT-90)the next day. Installed them in my Jolida 502-B, and they sound incredible. TUBEDEPOT has its act together!
Good selection at very good prices. Item came within three days and was packaged well. I was very impressed and will certainly use this company again.
Very nice packaging, and rapid shipping. Id gladly purchase from the Tube Depot again...in fact, I intend to.
This was a really smooth and easy transaction. Good job!
One of the best online shopping experiences I have had. Easy purchase, superfast shipping at very cheap price, was very pleasantly surprised. Will definitely purchase from again.
I have made many purchases from TubeDepot. They consistantly provide excellent customer service by providing information and other resources. Easy transactions and great shipping. This is a good e-merchant rated A+.
Great service
Tube arrived very quickly, works great! Thank you!
Package arrived smashed and split open. Original packaging for the items ordered not intact. Packaging for these items had been opened and then taped closed. Items (wire cutters) did not appear damaged however it makes me a bit reluctant to order more delicate items from this site.
The tubes are good shape and clear logo. However, I want to give a comment about the shipping option for international customers. I think you should provide other reasonable options such as transported by ship because some customers are not worry about the arrival date, maybe 1-2weeks. Your companys comment overall is good. I will order other tubes later.
Great! I like cutomer service - quick shipping!
GREAT SERVICE-GREAT PRICE--THANKS!!
i have never hade to use the customer service because the tudes i ordered are great and i ordered online. my shipment arrived in about 2 days! the merchendice is excellent.
verry good service
Placed an order online. Received immediate confirmation of my order and another notification when the order actually shipped. Goods arrived in a reasonable time (given that delivery was to the United Kingdom)and were well packed. Overall excellant service. Would use them again.
Everything was quick and simple. I will definately buy from Tube Depot again.
nice smooth transaction.
Will be a customer again. Very pleased with how quick the delivery was and quality of product! A+++
Great Seller. Youre beautiful baby!
very easy to deal with, and prompt service. A online business that I would have no hesitation to deal with again (matter of fact I already have), and will certainly recommend them to others. thank you.
Good prices and they were willing to price match the one tube I found cheaper elsewhere. Quick and reasonably priced shipping. Im a satisfied customer who will use them again.
Simply the best source for new and NOS tubes, as well as various other electronic components, and service is second-to-none. Intuitive web site a for hassle-free buying experience and FAST order processing and shipping.
The very best I have encountered--incomparable. Online delivery tracking is novel, detailed and impressive, while the speedy and thoughtful execution of the order processing exceeds all my expectations. I have cited the excellent service of TubeDepot in meetings, etc. as the new benchmark of global e-trading. Sriyoudh.
I purchased 4 6L6 power tubes from TubeDepot with great ease... they came in perfect condition and were exactly what I needed and as described. I wish the price was lower, but tubes are expensive and TubeDepot is highly competitive. Shipped very acceptably at about a week or so, I will be doing more business with them for sure, and I am happy to recommend them to anybody else as well
Tube Depot provided me with a set of rare Mullard tubes, within days, and packaged them perfectly for safe shipping. This will be my first stop for future tube purchases.
TubeDepot has the greatest communication of any internet seller I have dealt with. They responded to emails and phbone calls quickly. The product was great and was received in perfect condition. I would do business with them again and again. Rich
I have used the Tube Depot now for several purchases and have always found Christian and the others at Tube Depot to be friendly and to go the extra mile to make sure that the customer is happy with the sale. I can recommend the Tube Depot without hesitation and would encourage to use them any time they had a need that the folks at the Tube Depot could fill.
Detected and corrected, with my permission, my order. Excellent service,
total satisfaction,thanks
Easy ordering, swift delivery to the UK and first rate goods. Itd be very hard to fault Tube Depot, excellent!
I was so happy with the service from tubedepot.com that I sent an email to show my appreciation. I know where Ill be heading for my tube needs in the future. Thanks again.
This is the second order Ive made with the TubeDepot. Excellent experience. Thanks Again !
Great service, the order was processed and shipped promptly, and the order was received in a timely fashion. Order was complete and accuratly filled, no problems.
Make sure you are aware of the surcharges for heavy items so not to be surprised by the additional billing. Its all there on their site, (its not automatically calcd in the shipping as I assumed), with the product, just pay attention. Its all very reasonable, unless you can find it locally. Shipping tends to be kind of high from these vendors probably due to packaging and handeling charges they are tacking on as well; I guess they dont figure that into their product price? Otherwise, very responsive vendor, very well packed indeed, and the product I purchase was as represented.
great company prefect products and FASTTTT Delivery.
Super fast shipping! Wonderful people to do biz. with! I am very pleased with their service.
Very, very pleased!!
very prompt shipping, not a single hitch. I will shop here again.
i am really happy with their service.their service are precise,products are geniune and reasonable price than in the local store and more over they have all the tubes that you want so you have many choices unlike you do not have this chance thanx but at the end if your specialist have the time please try to put some datas of the amp that currently or in the past using your tubes so that its easy for one to get the idea and add in the sites like musicians friend,music123 or american supply thanx again long live tubedepot and sovtek wxt+ it really give my marshall 6100lm a brand new life
Excellent service one tube went bad emailed them and responded immediately to replace it. Highyly recommended
Very good comminucation and fast response. Excellent packaging and very very fastshipping. well recommended.
I ordered tubes from the TubeDepot due to their excellent selection and inexpensive shipping and handling costs. I had never done business with them before but I will be a repeat customer from now on. The tube bias is marked on each tube, my matched quads were as requested. Delivery was superfast and the items were packed well and arrived undamaged. Tubes sounded great once installed and fully burned in to my Rogue Monoblock 120s. Great job TubeDepot! I wish all online merchants were as good as you!
This was the second order placed with the Tube Depot. The experience was identical to the first--responsive customer service, prompt order verification, and exceedingly fast order processing. Kudos!
Fast delivery. Tubes were in excellent condition.
very fast shipment, good communication,fair price.
Very good follow up and communication resulting from an error that I made when I put my credit card information into the order.
Not a single problem, I would ask this merchant to add the words thank you to the ticket on future receips...thanks...Jim
The experience was great. Will trade with them again. Thank you!!
I ordered a set of 4 matched Tung-Sol KT66, and they arrived n a timely manner. The only thing that remains is to see how well the tubes are matched! I am very pleased with the service by Tube Depot.
I had previously used COMPANY NAME OMITTED for tube purchases. They sent me the wrong size boxes with my tube order. When I notified them they said sorry someone goofed but did not offer to replace them. I switched to Tube Depot and am much happier, cheaper shipping , better service, better picing. Chris Sherman
After I ordered the product online, the store sent me a confirmation email with estimated shipping date and the price charged to my credit card. When the item shipped, I received another email confirming the shipping and sending the tracking number, the tubes arrived save and sound sweet, despite the circumstance that I live in a forgotten town un SE Mexico, but these guys of fedex didn´t update their tracking database and even that I had already the tubes, at the webpage it apeared that was retained by the custom anyway thanks a lot
Very good customer service. Quick to answer questions. Sent me an extra receipt same day requested. Recommended vender.
I have ordered from Tube Depot several times, and each time has been a great experience. They have a great selection of quality tubes, great prices, and fast cheap shipping.
Good service. Had a problem with one of the tubes that I purchased being noisy and it was promptly replaced with a good one. Definitely recommend this merchant.
Very fast.
Top notch; super fast shipping; very smooth transaction.
Did not need to use customer service. Rapid delivery. Tubes in good condition. Will buy from again.
Thanks!
Very good transaction.
Excellent selection of tubes and reasonable prices. Faster-than-expected delivery. This is not my first buy with the Tube depot and in my experience they are very helpful if you have questions or trouble.
My son was thrilled wit hthe selection of his b-day gift and with the performance of the tubes, as well.
The buying experience was easy, honest, and above board all the way.
It was a great shopping experience.The Tube Depot had the best price for both the products and the shipping. I love fed ex express service, its the best vaule avaiable and the Tube depot has it.They had everything I was looking for and 3 days latter the box was at my door. It simply doesnt get any better.
When I found this website, it was amazed... The prices were 20% less than major maufacturer prices. Fedex express shpipping was only $4 !!! And best of all, it came a day earlier than it said it would. Tubedepots customer service is awsome, because I emailed them asking to put a no signature required sticker on my package. They replyed within 4 hours. I am definetely going to shop at Tubedepot in the future.
thanks for your atention!! is exelent,
Im happy I found you guys. Your service is always AWESOME!
First Time User. Excellent!
Excellent store with good price and knowledgeable help via email or on the phone. Ill buy from them again!
Excellent, im yet to have my amp biased however the tubes seem to be working and were delivered promptly. I would recomend anyone to buy from Tube Depot, their prices are the cheapest i can find and shipping is fast. Customer service....... the best yet my emails were responded to virtualy instantanious. I will be buying tubes again from Tube Depot as soon as i can spare some free cash. Keep up the great work Ill be intouch Pete
I live in New Zealand---the opposite side of the world from just about anywhere :-) The guys at TubeDepot were excellent. I got personal service, good prices and peace of mind. My gear turned up in just under a week, exactly as ordered.
very easy to use. whenever it goes so smooth that i never have to talk to anyone, then its a perfect buy.
Sent my mullard tube in perfect condition in 5 days.
Great website! Very easy to use and definitely will come back to have business with them again.
Found merchant had best price, very fast order processing, quick status updates automatically sent, order received within 2 biz days. Very happy w/ service.
Flawless service, very fast shipping.
The website layout made it was easy to find the vacuum tubes I needed. However, I made a mistake in my first order because I didnt pay attention to the differences between tubes on the same page. If I had looked at the pictures carefully it would have been obvious. I didnt realize my mistake until my order had arrived! I phoned Tube Depot and let them know what had happened. They were completely understanding and even set up a verbal order so when the wrong tubes were returned they sent out the right ones the same day and corrected the balance on the credit card. Great customer service! When I got the right tubes plus another tube I added when the verbal order was taken, I found that the additional tube was a different brand. It was usable so I emailed them to correct the price difference which they did.
Moral of the story: Make sure you order the right tubes and order them online. Call first with any questions because they can help!
I had a question that I asked these guys before I even bought anything from them, and they were very quick to respond by e-mail. The tubes shipped out super fast to me, since I am a worship leader I had to have my guitar amp up and running before my saturday night service and my tubes got here with plenty of time to spare. Thank you, you guys did a great job and you can expect me to return with any future tube needs.
Fantastic service, information, communication and follow up. Best I have received for buying tubes online. Thank you, I will return.
An excellent tube dealer. Will use again and again.
i want to somehow express my appreciation, convey how impressed i am, and give a huge hats off to TubeDepot. not only was ordering very easy, both on the net and on the phone, but shipping was quick with a tracking # emailed to me immediately. follow-up phone support was friendly, expert, and fun with no waiting on hold!!! even questions i thought were obvious, rookie-dumb questions were handled with patience and useful information.
of course, i havent even gotten to the quality of the products.
amazing, breathtaking, jaw-dropping.....these are words that come to mind but only convey my happiness superficially. the tubes i ordered released my audio equipment from its earlier constraints and allowed me to hear my system at its full potential. it was quite overwhelming, actually. almost a bit too much to handle all at once!!! analog LP playback is now a full-on transcendental journey each time i put on a side of a record; CDs sound even more like vinyl now.....
if you are considering upgrading your tubes for either hi-fi or instrument amplification - you cannot go wrong with TubeDepot. you will return.....i promise......
I love to buy in Tubedepot.com
Repeat customer here. Very pleased with the ease of navigation the sales site offers. There are attractive alternatives that I pass on simply because the vendor makes location and purchase too difficult to be worth the trouble. Never had a problem with TubeDepot, and recommend highly. BW
Tubes ordered at 28.4.05 6:05 PM Confirmation email received at 6:45 PM Tubes in house at 3.5.05 8:30 AM This is the TubeDepot service - excellent !!! Thomas from Switzerland
Tube Depot has an informative and intuitive web site, and their customer service staff was helpful and responsive with pre-purchase inquiries and order processing. My order was placed mid-morning and I received tracking information by early afternoon! The merchandize was packed well, so the entire experience was pleasurable. Tube Depot has a very good selection of new vacuum tubes and other amplifier components, as well as helpful FAQ’s and DIY information. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy from them again, and they certainly earn high marks for great customer service.
I was impressed by how soon I recieved the shipment of tubes, and how well packaged they were.
Super all around. Will buy from again.
VERY GOOD SERVICE AND VERY FAST DELIVERY. Cesar M. Gomez
They ship quite fast, things are packaged extremely well. Doesnt get much better than this.
Good service , shipping was quick , tube as described in excellent working order.
They had what I wanted, and at the lowest price. It showed up on time.
Thankyou for this opportunity. Quiet simply The Tubedepot is by far the best online purchasing i have had to date. I received a reply to my enquiry about which tubes may improve my system within 24hrs. I then purchased on Christians abvice the 12AX7 Brimar CV4004 to replace the standard 12AX7EH in my ARC SP16 preamp. The results are STUNNING, i was looking for more warmth in the midrange and less grain, WOW i got it in spades! Thanks to The Tubedepot i can know relax and enjoy my music at last. Finally i recieved my tubes within 5days which is fantastic service. I highly recommend the The Tubedepot.
Bernard Sydney, Australia.
Fast service, good selection and price.
I placed my order online and within an hour I received an e-mail telling me that my order had shipped. They provided the tracking number and a couple of days later my tubes arrived. It was a pleasure to buy from TubeDepot.
Very good stuff and very informed customer service people what actually know tubes.
Nothing to talk about which is the way it should be, they had what I wanted and shipped it at a reasonable price with reasonable speed.
I can sum up my positive shopping experience with TubeDepot in this way: They have become my 1st and only choice for placing orders and getting expert advice and service. No need to waste time and effort with looking anywhere else. A truly world class operation. Regards, Chuck Rountree
I am willing and looking forward to continue shopping with this merchant.
Everything was perfect! Thank you. Massimo from Italy
NO complications. Fast and easy.
Thanks Good deal Tom
Products were what I needed and at reasonable prices. I build and modify tube amplifiers for guitar and find almost all that I need here. They could offer more components like Potentiometers, chassis, lamps, jacks, wire, board building supplies, etc. since they are not yet a one stop shop for amp builders. Overall a very good place to shop. Michael
Great prices, VERY fast shipping. Will shop there again!
Excellent tubes with fast shipping and great packaging! Thanks!
Fast shipping, simple ordering process, CHEAP shipping rates, excellent packaging! If I ever need more tubes in the future for my guitar amps, this is the place Ill be ordering from, simple as that!
The people at Tube Depot are the BEST! They have been extremely helpful, all in all a top bunch of sheilas & blokes! Couldnt ask for any better! The range of tubes & components are second to none & the prices are very good!
However, the standard postage to Canada (which is out of Tube Depots control) is very poor (hence my rating). It appears to me that the problem is the US Postage service, so I recommend that your orders to Canada be placed with the courier service which is 3 or 4 days, as opposed to US (&/or the Canadian) mail service of 20 days! If you live outside North America then you have to use the courier service so my comments on the poor mail service doesnt apply. Perhaps Tube Depot could investigate a cheaper but faster courier service to Canada?
Perfect. They were very nice and offered good advice. Order shipped quickly and arruved in 3 days.
I will definetly do business again with them in the future. The thing that attracted me at first was their prices and then I noticed they had a better selection. I like them.
Great Service, prompt delivery very satisfied with product.
Very Fast Service.
I love to buy in Tubedepot.com
You dont have the option of ordering a single output tube when you use the online form. The power tubes are sold in matched sets, which is how you usually want to order them. I, however needed only a single EL84. Initially, I was charged for a pair. However, after emailing them, I received a refund of the amount of the second tube. I received very prompt service in regard to the tube order and excellent customer service in response to the order. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing this specialized type of product.
Orderd tubes for my Marshall 4100 and it rocks now. I got some good tubes.My amp is so quit now. I will buy here again if I need tubes. Thanks TubeDepot.
Very good, no problems what so ever. Will use again.
Great place to buy tubes!
Overall I rate this merchant Highly...He will be the first look for, when I need for more tubes....
Great to do business with as they resolved a simple problem that I had very quickly and in a professional manner. I am and will be a repeat customer. Thanks.
Very pleased with TubeDepot! Great new product at a great price, super fast shipping, will do business again. Thanks TD!
Overall... Excellent! I only gave them a hit in 2 areas because 1: Ive seen some things for less (not much). and 2: I didnt get a response to a free t-shirt offer, they once had, that I had mentioned in my order comments (dont care but a response would have been nice).
The right product at a great price combined with outstanding communication and quick delivery. Ill buy from this vendor again.
Excellent communication, fast & economical shipping. A merchant who knows his trade to the customers benefit, Thanks!! All delicate electronic tubes arrived OK on visual. Ive tested a set of Eis in combination with the Cryo tubes and I must admit my juke sound a whole lot better. Ill shop again, from now on you may consider yourselves as my preferred address for electronic tubes.
Simply the BEST!!
exlelnt promt service with a digigtal smile
Great transaction! Would do business again. The font size in this form is too small to read comfortably. Joe Miranda Mirco Machine Tool, LLC
I got the tube that I needed quickly and painlessly. One thing that would really help the shopping experience is to extend the capability of the search engine to include the microphones and gear that the tubes go into. I realize that would be a big deal to implement, but if I could type in Neumann U67 and get the appropriate tubes to buy - that would be nice! Either way, I will definitely use them again!
Second time I buy from TUBEDEPOT and I very pleased with the service and products. Very user friendly site and super fast delivery (from USA to Greece in 4 days with USPS). The 3 SIEMENS nos-5814a that I bought did wonders in my OCTAVE V50 MKII. I am amazed with their performance. Thank you very much TUBEDEPOT
Christian was truly excellent to deal with!! Great communication and cooperation!! I will certainly use them again, I thought good customer service was a lost art; Christian proves that there are still those around that truly know how to treat customers!! Kevin Sackett
I bought some tubes to Tube depot web store. They ship fast, have very competitive prices, very good NOS and New tubes, and are reliable. The shipping options are quite few for international customers, but the price of the Fedex international service is cheap enough to satisfy me. In other vacuum tube web stores the sipping options are very narrow too, but the courier service prices are the double in price. Until this day I love tubedepot.com.
Every purchase I have made from Tube Depot has been excellent.
I have done some other business with them and they are great. Customer service is great!!!
Every thing Ok! great prices great store
Excellent service - I highly recommend.
Being that this was my first time buying tubes, I found it very easy to find the tubes I was looking for at TubeDepot.com. Not only that, but I am very happy they used Fed-Ex because the delivery is at the very least a day faster than UPS and definitely 2-3 days faster than the USPS. Definitely an excellent buying experience.
I wish you a long, happy and rich life. This is one of the best transaction related to stereo I have ever had! Will do business again. Regards Thom
I needed 4 7591s in a hurry. Their price was competitive and they offered overnight shipping. I received the tubes right away, they were packed very well, and work fine. I will definitely use this vendor again.
I dont know about price or shipping options or cusomer service because I simply went to the website, found what I needed, ordered it, and it showed up at my door 3 days later... no hasstles at all. very simple and clear website. Thanks
Great choice of tubes. Always in stock. Fast & reliable shipping. Good seller!!
Good selection (if they do not already have it, they will get it for you), excellent correspondence, and extremely fast shipment. I would definitely purchase from TubeDepot again.
First order excellent. Second order still waiting?
Great service , fast delivery
1. Nice clean, easy to use, site. 2. No log in or membership required like so many sites seem to have. No passwords to remember. 3. Excellent delivery - package arrived on time and in perfect shape. 4. Excellent service (Most important of all) - Notified me of slight (few day) delay. Answered all emails almost immedietely. Then delivered exactly when they said they would. From my experience so far, TubeDepot.com seems like an overall excellent on-line store.
I used to buy tubes from another online store, but they didnt have a tube I needed. So I found the TubeDepot - and they had it. Shipping was extremely fast. And their prices are cheaper. This is where Im going to shop for tubes from now on.
Great tubes at great prices. Will have my business in the future. I like the fact they tell you the particular brand of tubes used in popuiar amplifiers.
Excellent follow-up of delivery. Recommended! Thank you.
This a great vendor. I highly recommend Tube Depot for anyone interested in learning about tube audio. C Evans
good price prompt delivery happy with product.
Very impressed with knowledgable and helpful advice given during telephone conversation and order. Easy company to do business with and highly recommended.
Glad there is such an easy to use web site for purchasing tubes for my collection of 1940s Hammond organs!
MY pre-purchase inquiries were answered promptly, thoroughly, and, as it turns out, honestly. I was surprised by this stereo, and I was thrilled to be offered so much help with my first steps into the world of tubes and kit building. Cant recommend highly enough...have already done so to all my friends.
Excellent dealer who nows how to treat a customer. I came here after a fiasco at (triode electronics)Triodeel.com. Thanks
Excellent service. The tubes arrived in New Zealand in perfect condition in a very short amount of time. Very Happy Thanks again Steve
Unbelieveablely fast shipment! I was extremely happy with the service, the ordering, and the merchandise.
I was more than pleased with my valves purchased from Tube Depot. They sound absolutely beautiful in my Croft power amplifier. I thought the 12AT7s from Mullard were inexpensive considering there werent that many NOS left. I would happily do business with this company again. Everything was well packed and I even received a free Tshirt. TV Sydney, Australia
Hi! my name is Michel and i am from Qu�bec city and that was the first time that i was ordering something from this merchand and i can only tell that i had a better service with them than i use to have with my usual store wich know me for more than 15 years! I highly recommend them to anybody who need stuff which they can offer! So congradulations to all of their staff Michel from Qu�bec
-nice communication, -fast shipping, -very good packing, -my next tube order will allways be at Tube-Depot Best regards Thomas, Switzerland
Quick to respond to email questions. Super good pricing and Fast shipping.................Great merchant !
Tubes worked great at a great price. Tubedepot.com was a great source and will keep them in mind for future needs!!
Very easy transaction. Everything arrived in good order and on schedule. Ill do business with them again.
First of all they have what I need, which is hard to find. Shoppping was easy. Delivery was fast. Good experience with them.
Fast delivery, great communication, thank you TUBEDEPOT.
Very pleased with excelent service
The site is very well thought out, shipping (to Europe) is not expensive, and I got my stuff in good conditions and as advertised. Very professional.
Excellent experience will buy again.
It is exactly what i wanted. The seller is serius. The shippment options and services are excellent.
I am usually very reluctant to order electronics or electronic components online, but I was in a bind. TubeDepot definitely exceeded my expectations and I even received my order one day earlier than expected! I have already recommended TubeDepot to four of my friends and will continue to spread the word about their awesome service and prices. Thanks again TubeDepot.com. Regards, Brian Orange County, CA
Great experience. Thank you!!!
Fast shipping, Great communication, Thank you.
The Tube I bought performs better than anticipated.
Very nice customer service people. Fast shipping.
My tubes arrived quickly and well packed. The prices are good and the website is informative and easy to use. Thank you.
Tube Depot is an excellent source for Tubes and their prices are better than competitive with other dealers out there. Tube Depots staff is also helpful if youre researching a particular brand in comparison to others. Tube Depot even selects tubes based on your preferences for break up and the type of music you play. Help with bias points is always available.
I use a 1970 tube amplifier for my Hawaiian steel guitar. I had never relaced the tubes and needed to. I compared TubeDepot.com to several other sites. They had a very good varity, so it was easy to choose. I ordered on Monday, and they arrived on Wednesday. You cant beat that. Aloha, David.
This is my first purchase from TubeDepot. I ordered Electro Harmonix tubes to completely re-tube my Conrad-Johnson MV60. These are the exact same tubes used by CJ in the MV60. I was able to order two full sets of replacement tubes from TubeDepot for just $25 more than CJ would have charged for a single replacement set. Shipping to New York took just two days and the packaging was excellent. A customer service rep from TubeDepot even called to find out if I was satisfied with my order! I will not hesitate to order from this company again.
They were very plesant to deal with. Sam Ash in NY was double the price. Because they stopped selling a tube they called and made sugestions to a different tube. Would I deal with them again Most diffently.
Fast shipping. Great communication. Thanks
fast service, parts in stock, quick delivery! What more can you ask for?
I am very happy with the TubeDepot.Iwas sent excactly what I asked for, in a very timely manner. I will have no problem doing business again withthem again in the future.Pricing was fair,but shipping cost was a little high.But that has nothing to do with the vendor. Thanks again.... Robert
Very good information on web. Good price, easy to order and very fast delivery. I found the tube evaluation by this merchent is accurate and reliable after evaluating tubes myself. Will by from this merchent again.
Excellent service. Would recommend to anyone!
Quick shipping, smooth transaction.
This was my second purchase from Tube Depot. They have a great selection along with some of the best prices on the web. Both times my order was processed and shipped immediately. Even though the standard shipping is 3-day Fed Ex, I received the well-packaged tubes in two days! I have to give Tube Depot my highest recommendation for anyone looking to buy tubes.
EVERYTHING WAS EXCELLENT. THANK YOU
good service.
AFTER SHOPPING AROUND ON MANY SITES, I FOUND TUBE DEPOT HAD THE BEST PRICES AND BEST SELECTION FOR THE PRODUCTS I WAS INTERESTED IN . PURCHASING WAS QUICK AND EASY. SHIPPING WAS PROMPT. I WILL PROBABLY USE THEM AGAIN WHEN THE TIME COMES. THANKS, BRIAN.
Shipped on less then 3 business days to rural little town in Europe ; shipment was faster than tracking ... prices where very good ; I highly recommend them.
i bought 4 nso tungsol 6550 and test for more than one month, i review the rate as above regards yeung hiu
they have a great selection and its fast and easy to find what you are looking for. Ordering was also fast and easy and I had my order in 2 or 3 days.
Jim Austin was fantastic to work with. You should be thrilled to have him onboard. Due to his patience and prompt attention to assistance I required on a return you now have a very loyal customer. I wont even consider another source for my tubes in the future. Sincerely, Alain Guiboux
Excellent products with very competitive prices. I also contacted the customer service department in regards to compatibility issues and they were very attentive and commited to resolving the situation. I rated a 4 for shipping, because I feel consumers should have a choice of shippng methods rather than having to use the only one listed. Delivery, however, was EXTREMELY fast!
Good and fast service, recomended.
I am a first time user of Tube Depot and I am very pleased with my experience. Here is why:
Their web site is extremely easy to use and to get information from. The information is clear and to the point. I was very clear on the conditions of the purchase and shipping.
Although the shipping options were limited, they worked just fine. The package arrived one day sooner than the time stated on the web site. The packaging of the product was excellent and the item arrive with no damage. They had the most reasonable shipping costs of the internet tube suppliers I had looked at.
They had the best price for the tube I needed and the shipping costs. I like the selection of all levels between the very high-end to the bargin basement.
The item received was what I expected. I ordered the cheapest tube becuase it was not used in a quality audio function. The tube functions perfectly.
I am recommending Tube Depot to my friends in the ham radio and electronics hobby areas.
This is my second purchase from Tube Depot and I am very satisfied. The website is easy to navigate and the ordering process quick and easy. The tube I received was exactly as pictured with closely matched sections as per my request. It was very well packed and received faster than anticipated. Altogether a great online purchase experience that couldnt be bettered. Highly recommended.
Very good service, would buy from this vendor again.
They were eager to answer any and all questions I had, regardless how repetetive they might have seemed. Im also very happy with the purchase itself.
Top notch merchant. Ordered at 2PM and received my order the next day. A+++++
price was a little high not to bad though. service was great, prompt and friendly, although on a phone conversation they didnt seem highly knowledgable about the technical questions we had re: the workings of an amp inside and out, and and details dealing with putting the product together. But they tried really hard were very courteous and We would do business with them in the future
Great tubes, excellent service. Thanks!
Fantastic selection, easy ordering, polite and helpful people on the phone. Will shop here again!
Allow numerous returns until I was satisfied with my taste of tubes. Tubes can be unpredictable in certain amps. I tried a couple different types until we got it right. Pleasure to do business with and I saved money.
Informative website. Reasonable shipping rates. There was a problem with the order, but they promptly corrected it. Would recommend and use again.
It was a pleasure shopping at tubedepot.com. Shipping was lighting fast - shipped just 4 hours after my order was placed. I highly recommend tubedepot.com and will buy from them in the future.
Excellant and expediant service. Should i need products from this company again I will use them and refer others. Than you so very much.
As a repeat cutomer I am more than pleased with my experience in dealing with TubeDepot. Ive been collecting NOS tubes to roll a specialty audio amplifier, and Ive explored many web-based sources. The TubeDepot site is among the best-organized, most easily navigated, and detailed in its description of the merchandise offered. The purchase process couldnt be more simple.
My tubes were delivered in a matter of days, exactly as specified, and with packaging tht was a model of careful preparation. Im both happy with my purchase and appreciative of the servce provided.
BW
Great tubes, great service. Thanks!
ITEM ARRIVED PROMPTLY AND WELL PACKED...EXCELLENT SERVICE...RECOMMENDED
Initially delivered items were a little bit different from the items I ordered. However, persons there were willing to take care of the problem. Now it is in the process of being fixed.
Quick service and quality merchandise. Will buy again from this provider
Absolutely First Rate! Tube Depots prices are competitive with other similiar vendors, with fast shipping. Their site is informative and straightforward and the staff is knowledgeable. Do not hesistate to use them if you need tubes.
Good product ad fast service
Only one of the two items that I ordered was shipped initially.I called and the gentleman was very helpful and the second item of the two I had initially ordered arrived two days later......so they messed-up the oreder, but made good with polite alacrity.....I would order from them again..
These guys are great: an informative Web site helped me make my choices. Check out was breeze. The 2-3-day UPS delivery was cheap and reliable. They even followed up with a personal phone call. This is a company that seems to expect excellence of itself. Im sticking with them.
I found TubeDepot by searching on Google and very quickly found the items I was interested in (Jensen Speakers). I emailed for some technical information/advice and had a very prompt detailed reply and ordered on-line. Yhe delivery to the UK took just 4 days from placing the order which was a very pleasant surprise. I have ordered more items and have recommended Tubedepot to friends and fellow musicians.
I purchased 5 NOS tubes (1 x Bendix, 2 x Brimar 6F6G, 2 x Sylvania 6SN7WGT) from TubeDepot and although I lived outside the US, the customer service was excellent and responsive. Mr Christian Magee was very helpful. The tubes arrived well packed in a box, with lots of cushioning inside. Upon inspection, they looked NOS as advertised. Unfortunately, the 6F6G were faulty as they produced noise when used in my preamp. Naturally, I wrote to TubeDepot immediately and received a reply from TubeDepot within the next working day, promising to send me replacement tubes right away. I am writing this review on good faith that my troubles would soon be over when my replacement tubes arrive. Overall, I am a satisfied buyer and would definitely consider purchasing from TubeDepot again.
No problems at all. Price seemed fine. Bought from the UK and shipping and delivery were as quoted and on time. Well packed. Very nice service and would go back again with no hesitation
I have to rate this merchant a 3 out of 5. Would liked to have had the option of using another carrier instead of FedEx, considering all the problems I have had with FedEx in the past including this delivery attempt. I had to personally drive over an hour (one way) to pick this package up because FedEx said they could not find my house. TubeDepot did an excellent job with this transaction but they seriously need to consider other shipping options, this shipper brought TubeDepots rating down.
Very fast and very good service. I was surprised at how well the package was wrapped and how quickly the part got to my house. Excellent seller!
shipping was fast, the product was exactly as shown and described, and it works perfectly.
Bought a selection of vacuum tubes from TubeDepot.com for an audio amplifier Im upgrading. Of the many sites I visited, theirs was among the easiest to navigate and to understand. The purchase process was simple and quick. TubeDepot sent a purchase confirmation and followed it up with a shipping notice with tracking number. The order arrived earlier than expected, packaged with great care, and the tubes were exactly as described. This is a site I will use again and one that I recommend.
I was most impressed with the fast shipping, and friendiness when they called me on the telephone to check a bad zip code.
TubeDepot has a good selection of tubes for the working guitarist and they ship very quickly. They even followed up my order with a phone call to see if everything was working for me! Great online seller.
Did not have to contact customer service. Otherwise everything was great. Good job - keep it up. Will use you again.
Very easy to order. Product shipped promptly and arrived in good shape. I had some questions I submitted by email and they were answered promptly prior to placing my order. I am very satisfied.
Good communication & prompt response. A pleasure doing business with.
Very good experience. Received my merchandise quickly and in good condition.
I ordered a set of JJ Tesla tubes from TubeDepot......they were winging their way over the Atlantic within three days and arrived in perfect condition.....the service and customer care from TubeDepot cannot be bettered.......great price too......Ill definately use TubeDepot again UK customer
Easy ordering, good transaction. I had a shipment issue related to bad weather. I e-mailed to check status and I had an e-mailed response withing one hour and a follow-up call. Thanks you
Helpful and quick.
excellent service, selection and pricing!
Valves were very well packed and arrived in good time. Good selection of tubes and an excellent shopping interface. I also really like the tour of the SEC factory! I will do business again.
Id prefer that surcharges be shown explicitly in the order summary; however, these charges can readily be determined by following a link thats included with each applicable product listing. Overall, I recommend TubeDepot and will not hesitate to purchase from again.
Great selection of antique tubes, at a reasonable price. The tubes were shipped whith in 3 days, were in excellent condition, were easy to purchase using a major credit card. Also found the tube rating information on some of the tubes very helpful in making a manufacturer selection.
Wish all online purchases were this easy.
I havent had any problems, so I dont know what customer service is like.
Effortless experience.
Excellent service I�m from Brazil These are very serious people
best prices i ve seen, and very fast.
Items easy to locate and well documented on site. Price exceptionally competative. Order arrived sooner than expected.
Was a pleasure doing business with Tube Depot. Ive shared the experience with my friends as well and certainly will be doing business with Tube Depot again in the future.
I gave them a three overall, because although the transaction was very smooth, they sold me a pair of unmatched SED 6L6GC cryovalve power tubes, which were advertised as matched. These were part of a Christmas gift, so there was no time to rectify the problem.
Packing is not entirely satisfactory and could be further improved.
Good solid vendor. Ships what they sell in prompt fashion with no frills but also no bad surprises. Would recommend them to anyone chasing vacuum tubes. Selection method was great and breadth of available tubes was good.
Tube Depot consistently provides a good selection of products, competitive prices, fast delivery and excellent customer service. I would highly recommend them to anyone shopping for audio tubes.
Superb!
Faster than expected delivery. Was fragile and was carefully packaged.
Great company. Buy with confidence. Thanks: John.
TubeDepot apparently likes their customers, since they performed perfectly. The only thing that I can say is that Ill be back to them for future purchases. Great job!!
Order taken quickly, delivered on time. No problems
Needs to use larger,stronger boxes with shock absorbent material such as styrofoam peanuts to cushion and protect the delicate glass tubes from rattling around and being subjected to shock loads in shipping.
Quick shipment. Excellent Company.
the tee shrit Ibought was well made, and fits I am a big guy.even my mom liked it the MULLARD tee thanks ps. you should get some other tees like RCA, vit-Q.
As a business owner, I rate efficiency and excellence of customer service when placing orders above all other considerations. TubeDepot rates top of both categories in my view and I have no hesitation in recommending this merchant to customers anywhere.
Great service, products, and prices. Quick delivery. Ordered over the weekend had my order in two days. Near effortless to order.
Order fulfilled quickly and as requested. Product was undamaged. Everything great!
no problem. sent my order pronto
compared to other online vendors who sell the same type products, this one is the best. price varies a little here and there between them, but this merchant is always the fastest, and most accurate with orders. also a great variety of products for tube amp repair. top notch.
I ordered my tubes and they arrived promptly, however, one of the tubes was defective (manaufacturers defect). I called Tubedepot, and they made sure I got a new set by 10 AM the next day so I could make a recording session. I will definetely use them again, and recommend them to anyone who needs tubes.
Ilive in Japan. This perchase is my first experience from the States. I think price is better than Japan. But shipping cost is relatively expensive. Because merchandise was very fragil so packaging was very huge and it was long way from USA to Japan. If I will buy tubes in the future, I will review this shop.
I was very happy to find the exact tube i wanted. The site is very clean and simple and was a breeze to navigate. Ordering was easy, and the tube came securely packaged. Will not hesitate to buy tubes again from this merchant. They seem to have more than the morons here in southern California.
A very pleasant experience, the site was easy to use, I was able to search for the tubes I needed. The prices appeared to be competitive and the ordering process went smooth. The tubes were well packed and seem to be correctly identified. Regards, Ken Swauger
I ordered from Tubedepot, 4 vacuum tubes that are difficult to find here in Australia. They were excellent quality, in original packaging and arrived in 4 days. I cannot fault Tubedepot service.
This is my third order with TubeDepot.com and I am again very pleased. They offer excellent electron tube at great prices.Shipping is fast too. Jacek Trzyna Poland email jacektrzyna@op.pl
I recieved just what I ordered quickly and at the best price of the options available. It was soon realized that I had botched the order but they instructed me how to correct the problem and swiftly shipped me the correct tubes and credited my account. Never again will I get tubes at a music store or anywhere else. Thanks folks!. Don
What can I say. TubeDepot is tops in all categories. They even called to follow-up on an order and see if I was satisfied.
no problems,fast and easy. their customer service is also very effictive.
No problems at all. Great selection and payment options. Would buy from again!
The service was good. The tubes were excellent. The price a bit high and there should be a ordinary mail service also to ship the goodsds. This helps save on cost. Santan /fernandes
Flawless experience all around--I will shop here again.
Very smooth web site navigation. Easy to find the product you want with replacement choices. Check out in a flash. Delivery... its here ! THANXZ
This is my second order with TubeDepot.com and I am again very pleased. They offer excellent tube audio products at great prices ... some of the best prices on the net! Shipping is fast too. My speaker arrived only 3 days after I placed the order.
My experience with this vendor was very positive. Easy to use and received the items very quickly.
wonderful people to deal with!! A real pleasure. All staff very helpful and informative. The only improvement I can see would be a method of establishing an account so that I would not have to enter personal data every time I order. A very minor quibble. Certainly not anything to make me want to purchase elsewhere. I love these folks!!
Excellent
Excellent buying experiance. Even got a follow up phone call from tube depot to make sure I was satisfied. Will use again.
Fine products. Personnel polite and cooperative. A supposedly faulty NOS tube was promptly replaced free of charge. By the way the problem was caused by a faulty amp and not by the tube. Need I say more? I am very satisfied with the company. I feel I can buy with complete confidence.
Very good packing. Thanks for emailing a package tracking number.
Great -ebayer. Quick delivery. Excelent packaging.
Very happy repeat customer!
The process from order to delivery to my home is very smooth and fast. I was informed when the purchased part has been deliveried out of the Tubedepot and provided with the shipping tracking no. so that I can countercheck the status of the shipment through internet. The goods received were in good condition and in my expectation without any sudden surprise. A very good shopping experience throught the web.
excellent, personal customer service. will be a long time customer
As an overseas customer I can just say Im really happy, TubeDepot is outstanding good easy and fast.
This is absolutely the best place to buy vaccum tubes online!
After looking at several sites regarding the type of purchase I made for this product. I found that tube depot was the easiest. Their straight forward website and useful information along with an inexpensive delivery charge was equally inviting.I also emailed a question ,and was immediately given a response. I dont order much through the internet, but with websites like tube depot, It sure is making me want to more.Thankyou TUBE DEPOT for your help, and I look forward to doing business with you again. Thanks, Scott Queen
no problems at all on order
Very satisfied. Will order from them in the future.
This is the smartest thing i ever done, and i am amazed of the speed of the delivery. Thanks to you all from ARILD HAGEN HANSEN,SKJERSTAD. 9400 HARSTAD. NORWAY
Fast and easy to find items. Excellent products posted, prices very good. Highly recommended e-bay merchant.

Wow! Great prices, excellent selection, unbelieveably fast shipping. Hooray for TubeDepot!
-excellent, helpful customer service! -great selection with the best prices ive seen on the net.
Got exactly what ordered, when they said it would arrive. But I wasnt at home when it was delivered. It was redelivered next morning, no problem.
everything ok, alittle more seletion with vintage parts would be good.
I recently bought some tubes for an Ampeg SVT3 from TubeDepot.com. Their prices were extremely competitive compared to those of merchants in my area. Ordering was very easy and communication was excellent throughout every process of the transaction. My tubes arrived very quickly (two days) and were packaged securely. All the correct tubes were in the package and they arrived in great condition...plus, they sound AWESOME!!!! I enjoyed my entire experience with TubeDepot.com and would recommend them to anyone...including my own band members!!
Great product selection and great service. I love this place.
Excellent service overall! Replacement for 2 dud tubes was fast and courteous. Priority mail might be a nice shipping option. Will buy again. JL.
TubeDepot did everything perfect by me, their perfectly in-tune to this consumer!
Great service, this merchant followed up with an actual phone call to see if their service met my needs! This was quite refreshing.
Everything was exactly as it should be. Great products at a great price. Also, merchant made follow-up call to see if I was satisfied with the tubes they sent. Great merchant. I Will do my tube shopping at the Tube Depot from now on.
Very reasonable prices and quick shipping. Highly recommended to all you tube-a-holics.
Couldnt have been happier. Great customer service and fast delivery.
This was my first experience with Tube Depot, and it will NOT be my last! Selection is superior, and pricing is fair, with many alternative items to suit almost any need and purse, within the scope of the product line. Thank you to all at Tube Depot!
fast delivary
Excellent Service all around
I was very impressed with Tube Depots service. For starters, their online ordering system actually worked! I ordered my items on an afternoon at abou 2:30 and received my package the next day. The order was complete and the products are excellent. This company sets the standard on how online retailers should be! Thanks, Kevin MacBride
Prompt and excellent service
Great service. I placed the order online and the shipment arrived in just two days and shipping price was very reasonable!!
Good merchant. Quick delivery. Competitive prices.
Got what I wanted when I wanted at a price I wanted... what more could you want!
Great product, good price, fast shipping, friendly customer service. What more can you ask for?
Everything was great. Surprised at how fast it came in.
They should people to choose shipping method to avoid Nazi FedEx!!! Other than that, GREAT site, easy to navigate, excellent prices and wealth of information for uninformed buyers such as myself. I found the tubes at similar prices elsewhere but chose to purchase from this vendor because they helped me make my mind on which brand with their extensive reviews and comparisons. Will be a repeat customer for sure!
With this new review I would like to withdraw my previous negative rating about the ECC83 MULLARD I have bought form TubeDepot about ten days ago. After exchanging some emails with mr C Magee the misunderstanding was resolved and they immediately send me the tube I saw and wanted in the site picture, the 60�s big shield logo mallard �Made in Great Britain�. I look forward to receive and test its sound. My apologies to a company which knows how to do business after all, as it turned out to be in my case. With its behavior and prompt response TubeDepot was won another dedicated customer yet. Thank you very much TubeDepot Best regards I.K. GREECE
I wouldnt buy tubes any where else.
TubeDepot offers the customer an excellent online purchasing experience. The site is very well organized and easy to navigate. Good product description and enlarged photos are a plus. My initial contact with TubeDepot was an e-mailed inquiry about tube matching that was quickly answered. The ordering process is simple and easy with e-mailed order conformation and tracking information for shipping. The ordered items were well packed, arrived quickly and on time and were exactly what I expected. ...
Excellent selection of tubes. The only vendor that had the tube I was looking for!
I have used similar businesses like Christians, and though the others were good, the personal touch from Christian is what separates his business from the others, putting it over the top. so to speak, in customer service. I have always favored businesses that take the time to answer questions, and Christians e-mails are prompt and friendly.
Great quality at a great price. Better than most all other sources for high quality vacuum tubes. Shipping was fast enough to make your head spin, and at a rock-bottom price. I will definitely buy from them again.
Delivery a bit slower than expected. Mail replies very friendly and fast. Prices excellent. I will buy again from them.
Very pleased with this transaction. The owner called me personally the day after my order to clarify a few things. He also reduced the price on several tubes as they were not in original boxes. Shipment arrived very fast and I am satisfied with the product. I would recommend this merchant and would not hesitate to deal with him again. Excellent customer service. WHG in Hawaii.
TubeDepot.com has a very wide selection of tubes. They organize them well, so you can easily compare the features of compatible tubes by different manufacturers. This is an excellent feature that permitted me to pick the exact items I needed. And they arrived timely and with no hassle. Plus, a representative of the company called me to make sure the tubes arrived and that I was happy with them. More businesses should operat this way.
no hassle purchase
Keep up the great work. The more tubes the better.
I will never look elsewhere for tubes. Perfect in every way!!!!
Fast delivery, nice package. Reliable service.
Very helpful, and excellent service; both through email questions and requests and over the phone. Ill be doing business with them over and over again. Thank you!!!
Great place to shop.
Easy to find what I needed. Will do business again.
Good people to do business with. Ill buy from them again
Supplier should reconsider the need for a signature at the point of delivery.
Tubes arrived very fast and well packaged. Highly recommend.
Website was very well designed - easy to find what I needed, as well as research other options. Shipment was fast and very-well packed.
Very extensive supply of tubes, easy to navigate website, decent prices. Great follow-up on my order.
5 stars on everything. My best experience.
Extremely fast delivery to Belgium Europe (4days) Excellent products.
Thank you Tubedepot, again you were a pleasure to deal with:-)
Great transactions, easy, fast and the best price around. A pleasure to do business with TubeDepot. Thanks, Jeff Belcher
Great product. Fast shipping. Easy to use website. Thanks!
Ive used these guys many times. They do internet sales in a first class manner. Everything is just right. Lots of feedback to the customer, they ship same day, they give out tracking numbers, everything is always in stock...... I had my goods in 48 hours. They are the model that internet businesses should follow.
TubeDepot is an easy place to do business. Its easy to parse through their website and find tubes or other parts. Their limited time free shipping offer was a clincher. They will respond to email. Id do business with them again without hesitation. You can find dependable merchants with lower prices but all-in-all TubeDepots prices are pretty good. Keep up the good work.
My transaction was a textbook example of what a web store should be all about. I found the site (actually, referred to it by a friend), found what I needed using a pleasant to look at and easy to use interface, and checked out. The tubes arrived exactly when I expected them to and they were exactly what I expected to receive. No hassles, no surprise, just performance that met my high standards... which overall EXCEEDED my expectations because of many prior disappointments with other vendors ...
Terrific prices and service! Great place to do business.
Ill definitely order again!
Great shopping experience. Quick delivery.
Terrific.
I was flabbergasted by the service and follow-up. I do not give excellent ratings lightly. tubedepot.com deserves the praise.
A great company to deal with,they really care.
Very good prices and they understand the peculiarities of the amp I own. They set me up with a plug and play solution for my Mesa Boogie 400 Plus that was better quality for far less money than I would have faced dealing with Boogie.
We were very impressed with the price and then, the shipping, it was here in such short order !!! Needless to say, hubby was very hapy with his birthday gift !!
It is awsome to be able to purchase from an oseas merchant and trust that the goods will arrive....I have faith!
Am wearing my TD teeshirt wihth pride. Thanks!
Awesome shopping experience. Not only were these guys right there on price (none cheaper that I found), the order was easy to track, their emails to me were regular and timely, the product came in early and they even sent a free t-shirt with the order! My tubes will always come from Tube Depot now.
Fine customer service. A day afer the order, when I wanted to make a change, I e-mailed Tube Depot and they phoned me immediately (an international call) to make sure everything was in order. Excellent!
Pleased with service
Excellent service. Quick delivery. I havent had any need to contact customer service since everything went fine, so I cant review that.
They specialize in the most important tubes for amplifier builders & repairers and they have very good prices. They also have speakers and other parts for amp builders. Their strongest value is their tube line. Service-wise, they follow up to make sure you received everything OK. I will definitely buy from TubeDepot.com again.
They even called me to check that all was to my satisfaction! Excellent.
My experience with TubeDepot was a good one. I am a frequent user of services from eBay, Amazon and other online merchants and I rate TubeDepot as top notch. The parts I received were exactly as described and arrived well-packed and on time. Thanks and keep up the good work.
This is by far one of the best online purchasing experiences Ive had. The site is informative, the purchasing is simple, the speed of delivery was fast, and what can I say but I have never bought a tube at such a reasonable price and get a bonus to boot. Thanx again for such a great deal a great site!!!
Very good web site, easy to purchase, good prices, and fast shipment. Merchant also called after purchase to make sure everything was satisfactory with the transaction.
Very good company to deal with.
Excellent products at a great price. Fasst shipping and nice guys to work with.
Courteous, competent, and prompt tech support. Very fast (2-day) delivery free of charge. Will use them again in future.
Very customer friendly. I recieved responses to my questions within twenty-four hours. Package arrived in a very timly manner. Will use Tubedepot again.
Exceptionally fast and reliable service. Will definitely do business with Tubedepot at a later time. Highly recommended.
Thanks so much.
Excellent buying experience! Purchase made on line, site easy to navigate, tubes arrived via Fedex (free shipping from seller!) fast, well packaged. Received a follow-up call from the seller to assure I was happy with my purchase! First class customer service.Will use for any future tube purchases.
I live in France, tube depot is incredible. Quality tubes, half the price compared to the shops around here, and ultra fast shipping ! Thanks !
did everything to make my purchase right. excellent!
Well organized website. Easy to find what I was looking for. Very fast shipping. Delicate components were well packaged and arrived intact, which is important for vaccuum tubes. The complementary T-Shirt was a very nice touch.
Excellent shop ! Im in France and the international shipping is very fast for the price. Perfect Products, as describe. Thanks, will by again.
Wow, I was blown away by these guys! Their price was better than the competition, their website was fantastic with good pictures of the product. They even sent me a free t-shirt that I wasnt expecting, and called me some time later to be sure my order was satisfactory. I definitely bookmarked TubeDepot.com! Thanks, Rob
Free T-shirt with my tube purchase was really cool. Would definately purchase from them again.
Delivery was fast and accurrate. Got home one night and found a message left by TubeDepot wanting to make sure I was happy with the order. Nice touch !! This was a great first time experience with this merchant.
Prompt shipment with a courteous follow up telephone call to ensure all is well.
Perfect transaction, even threw in a t-shirt and called to make sure every thing was alright.
I was very impressed with this Tube Depot. I was amazed that they did a follow-up call to make sure that I was happy with my purchase - well done! This is the type of service that I have only seen and enjoyed from my Lexus Dealer. Keep up the great work, it does make a difference. Sincerely, Paul W. Sickles
