I ordered a one-of-a-kind tenor ukulele from their site. Called shortly after, to ask if they would put a Low G string on it before packing & shipping. They did, at no charge (I love this!).
Ukulele was shipped the next morning, with tracking info. Everything is always clockwork with Aloha City Ukes, this is one of America’s most excellent Ukulele retailers. Selection of instruments is extensive. They have everything from a $109 beginner uke, to the high-end, esoteric instruments and all things in between. Shipping is free on orders of $99 or more.
Here is another benefit of buying from Aloha City Ukes
… and it’s a big one: Instruments are professionally Set-Up before they are packed and shipped, and they do this at no extra cost. Some people pay sixty bucks to have a local luthier do this, some pay twice that much. Nation-wide retailers (and reverb) don’t do this, they just slap a label on the box and send it to the shippers. You get your uke with whatever shortcomings it may have had when it came off the assembly line.
Instruments are presented well, with detailed photographs, accompanying video and sound demo. You get to see and hear what you’re buying before you click the “buy” button. They don’t hide behind “helper bots” or trouble tickets. You have questions or need help? Pick up the phone and call. The guy who answers will often be the same guy you see in the videos (and he knows everything).
There are so many places to buy your ukulele (trust me, I’ve bought tons of them). This is one of the best, these guys are great. I seriously recommend Aloha City Ukes.
