    i bought a self assembly bass guitar kit from them; it was missing some screws, and one or two other small items. they suggested sending the entire thing back, but i told them that'd be silly, and said if they refunded me €15 i'd consider it sorted. they were happy to do that, that would have covered the cost of the return delivery alone i'd say. so all in all, a positive experience.

    Thanks. As they don't take PayPal is there any one off virtual visa I can get. I don't want to pay a monthly fee for the virtual card.

    They do take PayPal - you'll see it there when you're ready to pay for the order

    Recently ordered from them, item was shipping from UK and arrived very quick, ordered a Wednesday evening and they were ready to deliver it on Friday

    They're generally good, but I did find they'll list an item as in stock only to find that their delivery dates get pushed because its apparently out of stock. Might be fine so long as you're not in a rush.

    Bought a small amp and cabinet off them, arrived in fairly reasonable time, no complaints from me.

    They have a warehouse on Jamestown Road in Dublin now so there are no issues with VAT or customs

    No issues at all, especially if the gear ships from finglas
