Great customer service; however due to the limited post-COVID stock, items may have not been accurately shown. We originally expected immediate stock for a piano but running out of stock our piano had indeed been not available prior to our purchase which is shown available in the next working day or week. One month later, the pianos arrived the central warehouse of Rimmers BUT we still cannot have the right one - mostly because of the, quite frustratingly, limited stock. More work should be done to really check which stock IS 100% in stock, every day, or which MAY run out of stock soon - the waiting time can also be a huge cost to some customers.

Hi We're sorry to hear you are disappointed. When you placed your order in Sept, according to the information on our system, the stock showed as due in Oct. We updated you during the 1st week of Oct to advise the stock was expected at the end of Oct. We then dispatched your order on the 8th Nov, which was slightly later than anticipated. We are experiencing major delays with stock at the moment but we have kept people informed in an effort to avoid disappointment. Regards Cathy

My husband, Steven Taylor, and I were very impressed with the information and advice we received from Andrew (Southport shop) and Pete Nicholson in Edinburgh. I am delighted with the Yamaha P45 and the musicians I play with were also very impressed. I have bought from Rimmers for many years (including 2 accoustic pianos!) and have always been extremely satisfied with your excellent service. Thank you. Margaret Kelt.

Excellent service, fast shipping, all good Would of given 5 stars but the delivery service provided by TNT was absolutely atrocious. And nobody ever replied to my emails Would highly recommend a different courier, I ordered over £500 worth of electric piano and stand, I came home from work to find the parcels dumped in the middle of my garden,

I have no problems with the service I received from Rimmers Music. The delivery through TNT was dreadful. It was delayed a full two days despite being next day delivery, and I didn't even get one whiff of an apology from the driver. shortage or not, Next day shouldn't be offered if its not possible. Other than that, Fantastic item and a reasonable price. Just stop using TNT.

The item (Roland TB-03), the price and the free next day delivery is excellent. However the same can't be said for postage care. The Roland TB-03 box was merely placed in a postal bag, which has resulted in the box getting slightly beaten up round the edges. This may seem trivial to some, but If the item is new then the official packaging should also reflect that. The box could have at least been bubble wrapped before being placed in a postal bag.
