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!

Contact Form issue
I got a very good deal on a Vintage guitar and it was delivered promptly. No problems with it, and just as described. I did then have cause to use the Contact Form as I had a query about something - BUT I have had no response at all. (And I sent my message well over a week ago). So, I'm disappointed on that score. If Mairants HAD responded to me, and answered my question satisfactorily, I'd probably have given 5 stars. Just a shame that this one aspect of their service wasn't much good...

My order is not complete and won't answer my emails but still took the money
Edit 3: Finally got my bass on the 20th of January ordered it September 18th. The Bass it self is good. Sounds and feels good. It's just a shame that it took so long to get it and to get in contact with them in the first place.
Ordered an ex demo fretless over a month ago still haven't got it. I have emailed the store a number of times and still got no information about my order but they took the money. Would not recommend
Edit:
They've gotten in touch with me on the 27th of October should hopefully get my order in December. The staff I have spoken to was very helpful
Edit 2:
Still didn't get my order as of January 6th

Unprompted review
Best price
Best price, better than expected as sold as ex dem but was actually new and sealed. Arrived the next day with free shipping. Excellent service.

Still no invoicing function
Still no invoicing function, be it physically enclosed with order or via online user account.
Unprofessional and possibly fiscally dubious.

A very good experience
I am not usually comfortable purchasing major items on the Internet, but I was very happy with the service given by Ivor Mairants Musicentre. My instrument arrived well packed and in perfect condition. The delivery process was also excellent.

Great price and fast delivery BUT...
Great price and fast delivery.
It would have been 5 stars, but I bought an ex display vintage bass that was referred as still grade A but the brass saddles came all rusty. I'm fine with that, especially for the price but it should have been specified on the description online.
I'll still buy from them and recommend though 👍
