Order was processed swiftly and accurately. Ther was in general good communication about delivery times and the courier company. Unfortunately it was only when the single delivery driver turned up that it became clear I was going to be left with a 90 kg package on my front step in the rain. It is actually stated on.a webpage about delivery in the small,print following clicking on a link, that it will only be brought to the front step. It would have been useful if this had been put in bold at some prominent place in the communication. Even more galling was 2 people turning up to deliver a piano stool!

Prompt delivery of Korg PA5 88. Good price. Then, a miserable experience as 2 notes sticking so had to return it. Rimmers dealt with it efficiently and sent refund. Disappointed with Korg quality control but not fault of retailer.

My salary was on Friday 26th of January and that evening I decided to by Electric Piano Roland FP-10 which was on discounted price of £349 but there was a line running on the website telling me that if I have ordered at that moment delivery would be next working day that would be the 30th of January but my family member had an medical appointment and I had to accompany her which meant that nobody would be at home 30th of January. I decided to contact the website to rearrange the delivery date but guess what, there is no contact phone number for someone to call to Customer Service and there is no chat room either. The website was running line with the same delivery date even Suturday and Sunday I had to wait for Monday 29th of January to come only to see that the January sale has Finished already and now Piano is priced £359 instead of £349. So I had order the item already with more expensive price only because there is no chance to contact these people over the weekend just to pass them delivery instructions. Only for this reason I am giving the website 4 stars.

The purchase of the piano proved to a bit confusing as we weaved our way thru the website. My issue was with deliver; I couldn't do the Thursday, which was the 'next day delivery, so we paid for Friday. It was meant to arrive between 8am-6pm, but only the headphones and piano stool arrived. Piano - no Show! This was 3.30pm. Tried the Track and Trace to no avail. Eventually got thru the Rimmer's in Leyland, who got back in touch after 4.30pm said they collected piano late and was on the van but no way could be delivered by 6pm that Friday. My heart sank!! To cut long story short- piano came about 1pm Monday. I think there is definitely an issue with logistics and needs relooking at. I, by rights, should get my £5.00 back as we had to pay for Friday delivery. Piano itself is gorgeous! Lived up to my expectations.

Item delivered on the dot, I have bought many items from Rimmers Blackpool in the past with good service but over the counter and by telephone. I know online buying is the future but I still prefer to go into a shop, although the man reviewing the Yamaha PSR Sx600 on YouTube did a good job, (no airs an graces), overall pleased with Rimmers and would use again

The piano is quite good, the touch of the keys it´s like a upright piano. The sound is very rich and easy to use,I love that has lots of features. Not 5 stars because it´s not too steady, it moves when playing (even in a carpet floor). Otherwise is a very good electric piano, worth the price.

Despite some hiccoughs over delivery (TNT's problem not Rimmers) I am delighted with my new digital piano and impressed with Rimmers' advice and service.

The Roland fp10 keyboard is very good for my ability. unfortunately I purchased the bundle including the stand and headphones. For me the stand even on its lowest setting had the keyboard sitting to high , The headphones were so cheap and laughable and only worked on one ear that I threw them in the bin after a few minutes. If I had purchased the keyboard on its own I would have been delighted

I had very good advice and help from Andrew at Southport Rimmers. He let me play on the model that I eventually bought - Casio CDP S100. The instrument came on time. What was disappointing was there there was only that keyboard for me to play. While the Roland GO61 was there it couldn't be opened for me to try out. I would have liked to have tried it out as I did not want a full 88 key keyboard as I have a small workspace. The Roland may have been better, but I did not want to risk the unweighted keys. The other thing I'd mention was the confirmation of purchase. Most other places send this confirmation almost immediately. It took a day to come through, so I was a little uncertain whether I'd been successful. On top of this, I did not get email confirmation about when it would come. I was told verbally that it should come on the Tuedsay, but I wanted to make sure I was around to receive it from the courier. That confirmation did not come until late on the Monday when I had ordered the item on the Friday. Seeing to those small matters would improve the customer experience. I am happy with the product.

Rimmers was one of the only online shops where the digital piano that I wanted was in stock. It was also available at a competitive price. Delivery was delayed by one day due to the courier. Overall this was a hassle free purchase and I'd recommend Rimmers music.
