Monoprice Reviews Summary

Monoprice's reputation reflects a significant divide in customer experiences. On one hand, many customers appreciate the affordability and quality of products, especially for budget-friendly items. However, a troubling trend emerges regarding customer service, with numerous complaints about delayed shipping, unresponsive support, and inadequate handling of warranty claims. Customers frequently express frustration over unresolved issues and poor communication, leading to a perception of declining reliability. While some individuals report satisfactory resolutions to their concerns, the overall sentiment suggests that Monoprice needs to enhance its customer service strategies to restore trust and satisfaction among its user base.

I bought this printer after a while of struggling with my M3D Micro. I wanted a smooth and easy to use printer which I could use with little to new effort.
This printer is exactly that, beautiful prints and clean moving parts.

My only complaint is the WiFi functionality, file transfer takes ages, small files take about 10 minutes, and I honestly never seen a regular size file finish uploading.

I bought a Monoprice Delta Pro 3D printer directly from the company. The hardware had some hiccups, but customer service was very responsive and got everything ironed out to my satisfaction. They were fast, reasonable, and seemed to care that I was happy with the outcome. I will continue to send my business their way. I recommend them to my friends for all sorts of things now.

Over the years, I have made multiple purchases from Monoprice. I have never had any issues with any of their products until just recently. A 4k HDMI cable that I bought 3 years ago started having real issues with displaying any video. The audio worked perfectly however. I logged into my Monoprice account, and reviewed my orders until I found this particular purchase. I noticed that there was a "return" button available on this item. I selected it, and after filling out the reason for the return, I submitted it. I didn't expect that it would be honored since the cable was out of warranty. Much to my surprise, not only did I receive a brand new replacement cable very quickly, but I wasn't even required to return the defective one! I was already a Monoprice customer because of their quality, selection, and prices. But now, they have completely won me over with their excellent customer service!

I contacted Monoprice because a USB / Firewire cable I bought nearly 6 years ago was beginning to fray near the firewire end. No problem - Monoprice simply shipped me a replacement.
I only buy my cables from Monoprice!

We have used Monoprice for years with great customer service. Trying to get a problem solved since March. Now they don't answer the phone, have to leave a message, and the canned reply is that emails are answered in 7 -10 business days!

Update: Paul S. Called and took care of the issue! Changing to 5 stars!

I have bought many items over the years from Monoprice. Last October, I purchased a 28" 4K Monitor. About a month ago it stopped working. I called Monoprice and they stated they would have to give me a store credit as the monitor was no longer being sold. So RMA # in hand, I packed up the monitor and returned it. They shortly called me and let me know they had found a new unopened monitor of the same model. They shipped it to me and so far it is working great. I was quite impressed that someone took the time to work my problem and resolve it to my satisfaction.

I like that they have usb cords in different colors and exceptionally long lengths. They don't stop working for a long time. They also sell wall sockets that can charge up to 4 (maybe it's 6) at the same strength.

Superb Amplifier
June 13, 2019

Recently purchased a Monolith 7X Amplifier from Monoprice. This Amp was very well packaged and delivered promptly. The sound is wonderful in my system, bringing out a much clearer and detailed sound than with my AV Receiver alone. Very, very pleased with my purchase from Monoprice.

After sale support
June 13, 2019

Had a recent issue with my new Sony X950G not passing ARC using a 15ft Monoprice Premium 4K cable. After talking with support they recommended a HOSS active cable and that fixed not only ARC/CEC but also increased my UHD llayer to output 4:4: 4 chroma at 32 bit.

The website is easy to navigate and find the TV mounting kit that fits my needs.
When I had a question I emailed it to Monoprice and received an answer withing 15 minutes.
The product I purchased is #6200, Monoprice Stable Series Full-Motion Articulating TV Wall Mount Bracket. It was very reasonably priced at $49.99.
Product is excellent and I'm well satisfied.
Good service!

Writing this review solely for the purposes of praising monoprice lifetime warranty on their cables. I bought 3 of these cables over 2 years ago. One of the cables stopped working (as most charging cables usually do over time) and so I requested an RMA to have the cable replaced. Monoprice immediately fulfilled the replacement request and sent me a new cable. No hoops to jump through... just a simple 3 question online form to fill out! Easy peasy! Thanks Monoprice!
