I bought the Roland bundle to arrive for my daughters birthday in December but after purchase realised delivery could not be made until the end of January. Joe and his colleague in the Liverpool branch were really helpful and contacted their head office, they then updated me and advised me of my next step. The staff were very pleasant and helpful. I then spoke to Ian at head office who was equally helpful and pleasant, he managed to swop the bundle for a different package, that I was pleased with. This arrived within a few days which I was very relieved about. I found the service very efficient and personable.

I was a first time buyer of anything musical really and didn’t know where to look or what to expect. From start to finish Rimmers music were fantastic and answered any questions I had and the service was excellent. Also the delivery was very quick and I couldn’t have asked for a more stress free purchase

My first dealing with Rimmers Music - bought a Fender Player Telecaster - very competitive price - in fact the cheapest I could find for a brand new Tele - fast safe delivery and the Tele is fantastic. It could do with a bit of a more comprehensive set up but as the box arrived unopened as it left the Fender factory not their fault and at the price I have no complaints at all! Would definitely buy from Rimmers again.

After being let down by another guitar company who promised delivery even though they knew they could not source the guitar, I found the guitar I wanted on the rimmers website. I ordered it at 10 o clock on a Tuesday night and it arrived before 9.00 on Thursday! Excellent service. BTW the guitar is fabulous!

No answer at all when I called the Leyland office for information but great help when calling the Liverpool store twice. Rimmers gave me the best price I could find for my Focusrite Scarlet 3rd Gen 2i2; almost £20 less than Amazon and Focusrite. I ordered at just after noon on Thursday 10th Dec and it arrived by 9.27am the next day; amazing turnaround. So far it's working very well through my laptop but yet to try it with a DAW. Thanks Rimmers. As Arnie said: "I'll be back!" Peter Murphy

I ordered a piano stool for a Christmas present for my husband. It was meant to be delivered the next day but wasn't because a security check on my address needed to be done which I was only informed about on the next day even though the lady on the phone said she had tried to ring me the day before. She hadn't as I checked my phone log and there was definitely no call. The stool did arrive the day after that and I immediately noticed a large dent in the cardboard box which had been taped over. It looked like something heavy had been dropped on the box, and someone had just decided to cover it with tape. As I opened the box, whatever had made the dent had obviously pushed right down through the cardboard and ripped into the top of the piano stool, making it completely unusable. I immediately phoned Rimmers who were very apologetic and told me to take pictures and send it off to the returns department. Unfortunately there was no more in stock, so it couldn't be replaced. I did explain that I needed the return to happen quickly so the money could be refunded to enable me to try and source another stool but another day was wasted because the lady in returns told me she was waiting to hear when more stock would be in even though I had told her that I had already been informed there was no stock. This was now a Friday afternoon so the collection couldn't happen until Monday, and it wasn't until the following Thursday that the money was back in my account. The whole process had taken nearly two weeks and it is now too late to source another stool and get it delivered before Christmas, hence the one star review. I would've thought that a quick quality check of items being dispatched would be standard procedure but apparently not. The experience has put me off ordering from Rimmers again and I am so disappointed that they have spoilt my husband getting his Christmas present.

I contacted Rimmers online about a potential appointment I needed to make to purchase some drums in store. I was contact promptly by a knowledgeable man who advised me that it wasn’t necessary to come into store as I could order the goods online & receive them next day at no extra cost. Perfection!

Terrible service. I attended their store with intention to purchase a keyboard as a Christmas present for my daughter. I wasn't allowed access to the store and advised to buy it online. Fair enough, I thought, Covid issues and all that. So I found the item and went to checkout. I was offered the opportunity to have it delivered to a different address than my billing address. It was a bulky item and so I opted to have it delivered to my mother's address. Less chance of my daughter being in while it was delivered. Confirmed payment, the transaction went through and I received a confirmation email that Rimmers had received the money and delivery would be made the following day. An hour later, I received an email. For a whopping (I jest) £115 transaction, Rimmers now decided that delivery must be made to the billing address as they are at risk of the payment being "charged back". A refund was arranged which may take up to 48 hours to process and a further 5 days to received, basically I won't get the money until after Christmas Day. The whole thing is a shambles. Why offer the choice of a separate delivery address and why take payment for an order they had no intention of fulfilling. To make matters worse, they don't even have a contact number to be able to speak to a person. Shambles of a company

Hi I do apologise if you are disappointed. We didn't reject your order due to the alternate delivery address, it was due to 3d secure not having been successful which does mean the payment is insecure. We did offer you a solution to this so that we could have sorted the order out for you. We do also have a contact number and email clearly displayed on our website. We have refunded your payment immediately, it is out of our control how long the bank takes to get that back to your account unfortunately. Regards Cathy
