should i order from Thomann german music shop

Snake Pliisken · 10-12-2005 09:23PM #1

I want to by a Kirk Hammett signature ESP off the internet cause irish prices are so damn high and i was advised to to thomann. Is it really that easy, doe anyone know.

Kenny_D · 10-12-2005 09:34PM

Yeah its grand. Lots of people here use it. I'm currently waiting for them to deliver my piano some time next week I hope. Only thing was that they needed a scan of a credit card bill and the credit card itself to prove it was my card. Other than that they are great and their shipping is really cheap too

I bought a guitar from them. No problem as long as you have a credit card and they have it in stock. Took about a week to deliver.

So, what are you up to these days, Snake?

Karl Hungus · 11-12-2005 12:37AM

Yeah, I've ordered from Thomann on many occaisions, they're very good.

How come you don't like them? I've never ordered from them so I'm indifferent.

Savman · 11-12-2005 04:25AM

Customer Service + Delivery = :mad: :mad:

Agreed

put it this way, if you order something that's in stock, then you'll be happy as it's plain sailing from there... but if you order something out of stock then they won't even tell you. you'll be waiting for a week or two wondering where your purchase is, that's when it gets a little bit messy

Precisely.

I was 6 weeks :eek: waiting for 2 Speaker Stands, they don't like answering their phones over there and musn't read their emails either :mad:

Sorry but its www.musicstore.com for me, not one single problem in 4 years

John · 11-12-2005 02:59PM

Right so, as I said I've never dealt with them but I'll be wary about them now.

LundiMardi · 11-12-2005 03:49PM

don't be, i've never had a problem, and always had the item within a week.. i'd say more people are happy with them than otherwise..

although i'd probably use musicstore.de over thomann.

Karl Hungus · 11-12-2005 03:54PM

I've never had a problem with them either, and found their customer service excellent. I once placed a large order with them, and one of the items wasn't in stock, so they sent out everything else, then sent out the other item to me once it was in stock with no extra cost of shipping.

Absolutely excellent service, and I'd gladly give them full marks.

Kenny_D · 11-12-2005 04:15PM

I've a piano due in this week worth 2 grand. Was shipped last saturday with a confirmation text message to my mobile (nice feature). First time ordering so I'll let you know when it arrives. A lot of people here have had good dealings with them so I went on that

Savman · 11-12-2005 04:55PM

you can be sure that almost every store, online or retail, has good and bad reports. :rolleyes:

so its a case of whatever you think yerself bud

ShevY · 11-12-2005 05:19PM

how much would typical shipping for one guitar off musicstore.de be?

Savman · 11-12-2005 05:47PM

€20 regardless of what you order

Kenny_D · 11-12-2005 05:50PM

Musicstore are good too. Bought my first amp and guitar from them. Make sure you go to the irish version of the site so the right tax is added. They are usually a bit more expensive than thomann

Seany · 12-12-2005 03:03PM

I'd also try guitarbargains.com & chrisguitars.com (used instruments - usa) as sometimes they are cheaper than thomann.

Savman · 12-12-2005 04:31PM

Some people like red, but I like blue.:p

Kenny_D · 12-12-2005 10:21PM

Well my piano was posted on the 3rd December and I contacted DFDS today who told me it would be delivered on Wednesday morning. 8 working days. As long as it arrives this week undamaged I'll be very happy with my experience with thomann

Kenny_D · 16-12-2005 12:46AM

Arrived today after waiting around all day yesterday with no sign of it. Service was good overall but the delivery once it got to Ireland was a little slow. They actually had it in the delivery place last friday night and it took them a week to get it from Naas to Clondalkin.... 15-20 min drive :rolleyes:

It was well packaged anyway. Was the original box from Yamaha by the looks of it. They packaged the stool and headphones themselves and it was well boxed and protected

Now, if that was Music Store, you could've picked it up from your nearest UPS depot the next day, after using your tracking number to see exactly where in the world your order was.

But to each his own:p

Kenny_D · 16-12-2005 02:18AM

I could have picked it up from their depot on monday. They told me that so thats not really a valid point. I also got a tracking number and could see exactly where it was. Not worth paying the extra money on musicstore which I find are usually more expensive

should i order from Thomann german music shop
