When DPD failed to deliver my item, the staff member at Ivor Mairants was very helpful, and went out of his way to sort out the problem, and my item was subsequently delivered. Hugely appreciated!

“Received damaged item – no reply from support”

I’m very disappointed with my experience.

I received a Vintage V100 ProShop LTD “Kossoff” Faded Sunburst guitar in a condition that does not match a new product:

- The selector switch knob was broken
- The gig bag was not the correct Vintage one
- The certificate of authenticity was missing

This raises serious doubts about whether this guitar was actually brand new or previously returned.

On top of that, I have sent several emails and received no response at all, which is very unprofessional.

I hope this review will finally get some attention and that a proper solution will be provided.

Quick delivery but useless…

Quick delivery but useless communication. I contacted them with a couple of simple queries and have heard nothing back. If they sorted their customer service and actually responded I'd give them 5 stars

i advise not to use this joke of a company

ordered an item on 15th march.
received email on 17th stating the order was cancelled at my request ( it was not )
further email stated they had cancelled as item was out of stock ( shown in stock when ordered )
told a refund had been processed 17th.
now 23rd & still no refund.
total waste of a week of my time & money tied up by this joke of a company.
i advise not to use them.........

No tracking, no notification.

Brought a guitar from them on the "Reverb" site.
It was despatched with no notification and no tracking, no email, delivered unexpectedly just as I was about to leave my home.
That is not how I expect an expensive item to be delivered, it will be the first and last thing I ever buy from them.

A Worry Free Purchase All Round.

This was an easy purchase thanks to the company's informative website and clear pricing. Payment was straightforward and the guitar arrived well packed and within the time specified. The instrument is in perfect condition and was strung appropriately for the journey. This is a company I will definitely be buying from the again.

I bought a guitar from them 26/02/26.
It wasn’t the right guitar and I wanted a refund.
I’ve emailed 3 times for a returns label & I’m happy to pay postage inline with their conditions. They’ve not replied && theres no phone number to contact them on - email only .
