They had a cheaper price than everyone else however I have paid the difference in postage both for delivery and a return. I’ve been inundated with sales emails from them but not many replies to my questions. I return something recently and paid the difference for something else. They charged me a little bit more than was Quoted in the email. I am now eagerly awaiting the replacement product and have heard nothing.

I would have rated this Good or even Very Good if it hadn't been for the amount this whole transaction and experience became inconvenient and so quickly too. I ordered a digital piano from Rimmers in the Christmas holiday. I spent many hours researching who was best to order from and in the end, was so blinded by choice that I decided to go with Rimmers mainly because they were the only company offering New Year's Day delivery (as stated on their website). I placed the order and then received an automated confirmation email from them which stated that they actually would not be delivering on New Year's Day. A direct contradiction of what was stated on their website. Immediately I emailed them to find out what was going on and stating that this was the only reason I ordered from them and if it couldn't be honoured, I'd be asking for a refund (not a small amount of money either at over £700). The next day I received a phone call from someone at Rimmer's saying "of course couriers don't work on New Year's Day". I explained that A) I wasn't a courier or in the retail industry so would not have known this, B) there website actually stated "NEW YEAR'S DAY" as an option on the drop down list and I was charged for that particular day and C) that it was the only reason that I wanted to use them so would want a refund. He then admitted that it was a known problem (why not get it fixed then), and that I could have the following Saturday instead. Reluctantly I agreed to this and he then tried to charge me another £18 for that date! I refused and told him that they had already received payment for delivery and he eventually agreed to have it delivered that day at no extra charge. I work full time. I only have one day on the weekend (usually a Sunday) off but changed this to the Saturday so that I could receive the (7am-7pm) delivery. I received confirmation that the digital piano had left Rimmer's and was now with TNT. I could track its progress. From the moment I checked its progress that Saturday morning, I knew it wasn't going to arrive. According to the TNT tracking page, it was still awaiting collection in the depot which is a full 5-6hours drive from my house. 7pm came and went and there was no delivery. I couldn't even call anyone to see what was going on because, despite still operating over the weekends, apparently there is no way of contacting ANYONE at TNT OR Rimmer's! In the end I had to leave a rather disgruntled message on Rimmer's social media page which was responded to the next day. I got a call from Rimmer's on the Monday after the weekend the delivery was expected and it was luck that I was on my lunch break and able to answer my phone. He told me that the piano had actually been delivered and signed for at my house. I explained that I was at work so who had signed for it when I expressly told them that I could not receive a delivery, especially of that value, during the week because I was at work. Turned out that by some dumb luck, my cleaner had arrived a couple of hours later than she normally does and was there when it had arrived. She knew I'd been waiting for it and signed for me so it could be safely delivered indoors. I dread to think what would have happened if she had not have been there.

Hi I'm so sorry that things have not gone as we would like and that you are disappointed. Unfortunately our system has allowed you to select a custom delivery date, which in your case was New Years day. Our system shouldn't allow dates such as Christmas day, New Years day to be selected as they are not available delivery dates due to the fact that they are not working days and therefore couriers are unable to deliver on those days. We did upgrade your delivery at our expense and unfortunately our courier did let us down for which I sincerely apologise. They were running behind due to Christmas deliveries and did deliver on the next available day. If there is anything that we can do by way of further apology, please let us know as we would like you to be happy. Regards Cathy

I made a purchase from Rimmers for a gift for somebody. As I personally do not play the instrument, I relied on them for advice and guidance. The staff could not have been more friendly, knowledgable and friendly. Thank you so much Rimmers for all your help. I will certainly come back to you if considering making any future purchases relating to instruments in future.

I got a good price, sound advice and excellent service from Rimmers. The sales staff on the phone (Headley?) were friendly and knowledgeable and I felt they worked hard to deliver me a deal I was happy with. The product turned up bang on schedule and so far I have been delighted with my purchase. Would definitely recommend and use Rimmers Music again.

Delighted with my purchase of a Yamaha digital piano from Rimmers at a competitive price. I received good advice pre-purchase and customer service was very helpful in resolving an issue with a damaged piano stool. I can thoroughly recommend Rimmers and will use them in the future. Just those piano skills to practice ....

Excellent service. Very helpful with advice when buying a td17kvx. The part exchange pick up was as arranged. Although over the Christmas period my order was not sent. But as soon as I phoned it was sorted and sent out. I even had a couple of phone calls from Headley to make sure everything was ok. I would certainly buy from this company again.
