This company goes above and beyond when it comes to customer service. I've bought so much from them this year and the one time I had a minor problem,they fixed it immediately. Fast shipping and excellent quality every time as well. I'll continue to do business with them so long as they're open馃馃徎馃枻

I love INDIEMERCH! They got the best and most brutal band merch ever to come across! Amazing bundles you can鈥檛 find anywhere else, pretty reasonable prices. Once items are available to ship, takes no time for my items to be delivered (approximately 2days. In the states)
I get satisfying customer service, great contact with the store. They are very well determined to make sure the customer is happy with their order!

One feature I鈥檓 not too crazy for is the shipping fee (varies on size of order) but at the end of the day when you get your items, they鈥檙e so great that it makes up for the fee! Totally worth it!

My order arrived in about a month all the way from US to Greece. It was first sent to Germany so as to avoid any extra customs fees. Overall the shirt is the same as the one in the picture.

I just received my clothes, after a longer time than I expected, however this was more due to customs issues with Australia and my Australian tracking not working correctly. indiemerchstore responded to my concerns with the delay quickly and made me feel like a valued customer, and also promptly fixed an issue with my order where a shirt was doubled on my order and quickly refunded me. The quality of the clothes I received are great, It seems a bit pricey but the quality justifies this and more. Recommend to all after their customer service was so above par. Thanks guys

Ordered one hat, but was sent and charged for three. I emailed the company after a second hat arrived and never heard back from them. I waited a few weeks, then discovered I had been charged three times and three different days. I called and left message. Nobody returned the call. Only after I filed charge disputes with my credit card, did I hear back from someone. They claimed I ordered three hats on three different dates and even provided three order numbers. I only received one shipment notification, and that they were unable to fulfill the order. I have email proving this. Not sure what happened, but it is definitely on their end. They also refuse to pay for return shipping charges, so I guess I'll be keeping that extra hats.

In short, I ordered one item, but was sent and charged for three. Very shady! Terrible customer service! I'm letting my credit card company handle this one.

Can sometimes be a little expensive, but for the quality, and support of your favourite bands, it makes it worth it.

The quality is great on everything I've ordered so far (Only thing I'm not huge on is the zip-up hoodies; the printing is fantastic though), and service is outstanding. I also spoke to Travis on Instagram, about discount codes, and he was quick to offer 10% my order as well as personally make sure my order gets sent out expediently. Very friendly and professional!

The website itself is pretty user friendly, the only thing I'd recommend is a wishlist system so you don't have to find your items every time you open the page if you're indecisive like myself.

Best merch site on the internet.

Cheers,
Jacob

I ordered a Cattle Decap t-shirt back in early December of last year. About a week later it was marked as delivered by DHL. Neither myself or my neighbors ever received or saw this package. I contacted the company with little success. I filed a complaint with the BBB that was refused because package was marked delivered. So, I spent twenty five dollars for a shirt I will never receive. Thanks for nothing indiemerchstore.

It was my first time buying form IndieMerch, and I gotta say I'm pleased with the overall service from them, but one t-shirt had darker colors than the website image.

First of all, the quality of the t-shirts is outstanding, they are so thick, soft, the printing is great, and the designs are better, I didn't find them anywhere else.

The issue I had is that the colors in one t-shirt were a little different to what the IndieMerch website showed, the ones in the actual t-shirt (Chthonic's Resurrection Pyre) do not look the same, they look darker, grey-ish if you will, as if one layer was missing while printing or something, the design and printing are still cool though, hopefully only the t-shirt I got was affected by that.

The real problem here was with USPS, I paid for the Priority Mail Express International shipping, with a cost of $48-50 dollars, and 3 to 5 business days to be delivered according to the USPS website, but it took 12 business days just to leave US territory, a huge difference of what they claim is the "Express" delivery, probably the delay was due to the holidays, but I would recommend to choose a cheaper delivery option just to have more money for t-shirts.

I would recommend buying in IndieMerchstore, but you may want to contact them via facebook message just to make sure how the products look like to avoid the issue I had.

————————

I appreciate a lot the fact that IndieMerch was in contact with me via Facebook before and after placing the order, is great to see an actual Customer Service and conversation, not one based on automatic responses or emails with no answers.

I have nothing but great things to say about this company! Their selection of merch is awesome, the shipping is super fast, and their customer service is nothing short of excellent. Johnny was polite, understanding and extremely helpful about a situation that was completely my fault. Anytime I need metal merch, I will always buy from indiemerchstore!

I've ordered only twice so far from the website. I've been nothing, but pleased with the received items, however, i have a few gripes with the service. My main problem being their astronomical shipping fee… it's $21 for it to ship to Europe (and they do not have a promo; so whether you only buy a shirt, or $200 worth of stuff, the shipping is always that high), and on top of that, the shipping time is absurdly long, in my opinion. My first order took almost 2 months to arrive, while the latter "only" a month.

Some images on their site are grossly misrepresented compared to the actual products.

Will never buy from them again and anyone that asks, well…

With the growth of popularity in any subject of entertainment, the demand for merchandise related to that entertainment increases as well. This demand eventually reaches mainstream stores, who supply the products in a way easily accessible to their targeted consumer. When concerning the musical genres of heavy music such as metal, unless an individual is a fan of bands who have gained enough popularity to have their merchandise distributed in mainstream stores, it is difficult to find a way to purchase your favorite band鈥檚 merchandise with either having to scour record stores for their music or waiting for them to tour your city and buying their merchandise at their show. But with the rising popularity of online shopping, having the ability to purchase merchandise from your favorite bands has been made possible and easier for fans. Though many online retailers for metal merchandise exist, none are as big as IndieMerchstore.com. IndieMerchstore is the biggest online retailer for metal merchandise that you would not find in mainstream stores. Founded in 2005, IndieMerchstore has been a reliable distributor for underground metal bands to provide merchandise for their fans through online shopping methods. Through the variety of bands and products available through their websites as well as their explementary customer service, IndieMerchstore.com is the best online retailer of metal merchandise for metalheads.
With being the biggest extreme metal online retailer, it can be assumed that IndieMerchstore offers a wide selection of bands to purchase merchandise from, which in that case would be correct. IndieMerchstore is home to thousands of metal bands and labels, ranging from a variety of unique metal genres. Any time I鈥檝e become a fan of a new band and in need of merchandise from that band, IndieMerchstore is my reliable source to visit to see if the store is a distributor of merchandise for my new favorite band. Also by being a distributor for an enormous amount of bands, I tend to find many bands that I鈥檝e never heard of, compelling me to listen to their music and if I enjoy it, I can always turn to IndieMerchstore to purchase merchandise from the band.
Now with a huge selection of bands selling their merchandise through IndieMerchstore, a huge assortment of products tend to come with that. In mainstream stores, band merchandise is very limited with only two to three shirts per band being available to purchase, not allowing their fans to browse their whole inventory. With IndieMerchstore however, bands can display their whole inventory, giving their fans tons of opportunities to buy what they want. While the different types of merchandise depend entirely on what the bands choose to sell, there鈥檚 still plenty of variety to be found in the merchandise available on the website. Such merchandise can range from t-shirts, leggings, hats to wall flags, vest patches, posters, wallets, and of course physical copies of the music itself with either CDs or vinyl.
Not only though does IndieMerchstore offers thousands of bands and products, but they also provide exemplary service to their customers. I鈥檝e rarely had any complications with my orders from the store, but the few occasions that I鈥檝e experienced, such as waiting on the shipping of an item I had purchased longer than I was guaranteed, their customer service associates replied to me within seconds after messaging them with an inquiry about the delayed delivery of my item and they were able to give me all the information I needed to know why it was delayed and when it would be shipping out to my address. They demonstrated high professionalism in their service to me, making me feel respected and important as a customer.
But for all the things IndieMerchstore succeeds at, there are a few faults IndieMerchstore suffers from and these things are unfortunately out of their control. These faults being cost, shipping, and location While the costs vary from band to band on their products, it can get quite expensive, plus when calculating shipping rates, unless you鈥檙e planning to spend a good amount of money on merchandise, it鈥檒l make you think twice before making your purchase. Shipping outside the United States can also be daunting since the company is based in Cleveland, Ohio, so shipping rates only getting more expensive depending on where you live internationally and even depending on where you live, you might not be able to have any merchandise shipped out to your location as at that point, it would become too expensive for IndieMerchstore themselves to ship the merchandise. The last issue is location since IndieMerchstore is exclusively an online retailer, the only way to get a band's merchandise is through their website. Some people prefer to buy their products in-store so they instantly have it in their hands at that moment than waiting for it to be shipped out to them. But as heavy music is considered to be underground, the opening of a store may not garner the sales needed by consumers to sustain itself which is primarily why they are a strictly online retailer.
Even with their faults, IndieMerchstore鈥檚 accomplishments outweigh the negatives. Through being a distributor for thousands of bands and providing a retail outlet for fans to purchase merchandise from their favorite bands, IndieMerchstore gives opportunities for fans to represent and support their favorite bands in a way that is also convenient for them. Combined with the exemplary customer service the company exhibits, IndieMerchstore is an online retailer that fans such as myself enjoy coming back for our metal needs and why I believe that IndieMerchstore.com is the best online retailer of metal merchandise for metalheads.
