Hi Jodie, Sorry it's taken a while to get the refund sorted on your PayPal account, it should be done now. Kind regards Anthony

“the product was great, the delivery not. i paid extra for fast delivery, what i got was three days from ordering to delivery, unacceptable. i don't mind waiting for standard delivery, but expect better when paying extra for it. great reeds though.”

“My music order took 12 days to arrive, when it did it was battered and in poor condition. None of my 3 emails have been answered. Really poor service.”

Dear John, When we spoke on the telephone I mentioned that some of our post had been disrupted by the recent snow (as was the case with your order.) I'm sorry the book arrived in poor condition: we rely on Royal Mail to deliver with care and in good time, but of course there will always be human error occasionally. If you are not happy with your order you are always entitled to a refund: you have 14 days from receiving the goods to notify us and a further 14 days to return the item. As a small independent company we respond to all emails personally but unfortunately I can't find a record of any emails you sent. If you could forward them to info@ackermanmusic.co.uk I can address any further queries you have. Best wishes, Alex.

“Very disappointed with the delivery time. Ackerman used to be really quick in sending orders out - the main reason I used to order from them - but will check elsewhere before ordering from them from now on as my last few orders have taken much longer than hoped. A real shame as it seems a backwards step in customer service.”

Hello there. Thank you for your review. I'm sorry to hear you're unhappy with the time it's taken for your recent orders to arrive. Your last item was sent out 2nd Class with Royal Mail the same day as you ordered so should have arrived in 3 to 5 days. You can still have items under £10 sent 1st Class by paying an extra £1 postage, and anything over £10 will be free 1st Class if you select that option at the checkout. Kind regards

Hello there, I'm sorry you are unhappy with the service you received. As you will have seen from the emails, we sent a copy out to you which it seems was lost in the post. Royal mail ask us to wait a certain amount of time before resending in case the item should arrive. A replacement was sent to you as soon as we got one back in stock. I'm glad you now have your order. Kind regards.

“Case was delivered damaged, probably by carrier separating two packages for different customers. Case returned to Ackerman. Purchased replacement locally. Not as nice as Hiscox but in good condition. Colin Baker”

I'm very sorry to hear your Cello case arrived damaged. We endeavour to pack all our items extremely well to make sure this sort of this doesn't happen. FedEx are normally very careful with items as well. Kind regards.

“I ordered 1 box of 10 Vandoran reeds,I received 10 individual reeds in a shop soiled condition eg sticky outer seal damaged seals Despatched in a flimsy white box with no protective wrapping Very disappointed won't be placing any future orders”

Hello there. I'm very sorry you were unhappy with your reeds. If any of them were damaged in transit we would be happy to replace them. Alternatively you can return them for a full refund. I'm sure you will have seen on the website that we repackage the reeds to allow us to offer free postage (I have posted the quote from our website at the bottom*). These will have been brand new reeds taken from a standard box. Please do get in touch if you have any further queries. Kind regards. Anthony. *In order to keep your reed prices as cheap as possible, we re-package Vandoren reeds to fit the "large letter" postal size. Each reed is still individually sealed in its original packaging but you won’t receive an original sealed outer box. If you wish your reeds to come in the original sealed box (£2 surcharge), please phone one of our shops on 0333 344 0070. Orders of 2 or more boxes will be sent sealed in their original outer boxes.
