We created Gongs Unlimited for these reasons:
Sure, maybe it sounds a little crazy, but when you're like us, doing gong hits all day, you come up with some pretty interesting ideas. WE HAVE CONTACT! The crew at Gongs Unlimited (aka The Malletheads) is always happy to help you. We've been doing this for four years now, and we're still deliriously charming over the phone. GONG EMERGENCY? If you can't wait for us to respond via email, call us at the GONG HOTLINE 402.440.8170 We're located in NEBRASKA. (That means Central Time in USA.) We can't guarantee any of the Malletheads will be up at 2 AM but if we are, we'll be happy to listen to your sick gong and suggest a way to cure it without antibiotics. Our Mailing Address is Gongs Unlimited, 1143 Mulder Drive, Lincoln, NE 68510As a side note, being in Nebraska means we have to charge you other NE residents sales tax. Sorry, but sometimes you have to render unto Caesar what is Caesar's. And sometime you have to render pork when cooking it.  Customers write about our gongs fondly when they blog. Gongs Unlimited FAQI don’t know which gong I want. I want it to sound “gong-y” Help me! There are a few basic Chinese Gong styles: The Chau, the Wind and the Opera. The Chau, which looks it has a bullseye design on it, has a deeper, ‘donnnng” sound. A lot of people say that it sounds “gong-y” to them. The Wind Gong, has a more splashy sound. Like a cymbal. It looks more like a vertical cymbal. A lot of people like this because it makes an exciting celebratory sound. The Opera Gong has many styles within it, and it is a more unique Chinese sound. You will recognize it from Chinese music. It can ascend, meaning its tone goes up, or it can descend, and its tone gets lower. Then we have gongs by specific manufacturers, like Sabian or Paiste Gongs. They have gongs that sound unique to them. We want to ship to you as best and fast as we can. We mostly ship via Fedex Ground, UPS Ground and USPS Priority Mail. HOWEVER WE DO SHIP INTERNATIONALLY TOO. EMAIL USCRAIG- OUR FEDEX GROUND GUY - Fancy College Graduate who worked for John McCain, WAY BEFORE the Dude ran for President.  Do you ship to Canada and all over the world? On most items we are happy to ship to Canada and all over the world. We usually do it UPS STANDARD OR US PRIORITY MAIL to Canada, and US Postal Intl Priority to the world. We also ship via special companies related to your home country of Australia, Poland, South America etc. We find them to save you cash. However, a few of our items are shipped directly from another importer’s warehouse. (About 10% of our stuff.) And on those few items they refuse to ship internationally because of the extra work. That’s why you have to call us or email us. It costs a bit more and you have to contact us so we can organize it for you. Can I get shipping overnight or at least faster than Fedex Ground? Sure, just call our cell phone number 402-440-8170 or email us. It costs a little more and sometimes requires some fast work, so you need to contact us. My credit card statement said CONVENIENTLY LOCATED, not GONGS UNLIMITED. Why is that? Conveniently Located is our dba, that’s doing business as name.  Malletheads? Who are the Malletheads? Adult Survivors of shaken-baby syndrome, the honest folks behind Gongs Unlimited started the term to describe themselves, but anyone who enjoys gongs, or metal or unique percussion is a Mallethead. In fact, you might be a Mallethead and not even know it.  You can always email us anytime of the day or night at the address below. info@gongs-unlimited.com |
