Maude Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 Mine arrived after a couple of days. Everything looks legit, Players Circle numbers entered on the D'addario site and accepted so I can't see that they're fake. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldon Tyrell Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 I got mine on Tuesday. Cost £12.95, sold by Amazon. Already used the code printed on the bag for the D'Addario Player's Circle account and it was accepted. Totally legit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're on the Amazon site but from a 3rd party and not from the Amazon warehouse. Mrs Pup got conned last year buying some perfume from what looked like a legit seller and it turned out to be fake.

Check the storefronts before you spend money....I'm suspicious and sure they're going to be fakes Going off the recent comments all of the strings bought following the OP link seem to be legit at £13. I didn't carry out much due diligence when I ordered mine off Amazon but they arrived today and are legit. I'm sure you get lots of knock offs sold via Amazon but in this instance the D'Addario strings seem fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope I didn't do anything incorrect by posting the link in the original post. Just thought it would be of interest to others. These genuine bargains/pricing anomalies do pop up from time to time on Amazon.😊 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally appreciate the heads up. I didn't get the £12 ones but £16 is still a bargain. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonard Smalls Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 I got one set of the £12 ones, and two at £16. They arrived at the same time on Saturday in 3 envelopes (2 were from the same suppler bought at the same time!) Once I deciphered the Player's Circle codes (8s and Bs are identical!) all of them registered, so I suspect all were legit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man, I had the same problem with the 8s and Bs. Drove me effing nuts when I tried to register them. They really look almost the same.
