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!

First class

The company were swift and helpful, not only with the sending of my item, but also with the after service.
The item arrived packed, with impressive protection around it.

Vintage Reissued J74 Bass

Bass arrived within 2 days. Excellent condition, pretty much as new. Setup was very good, playable out of the box. Just tuned it up and gave it a few minor tweaks to get the intonation spot on and the action how I like it.

Must admit had waited a long time for item to come into stock, but once I was able to order, it was easy to do so and the item delivered quickly with predelivery advice on time and day. Good experience.

Great product beautifully packaged

Company communicated well. Product was in perfect condition, perfectly packaged. Shipped on time. Only reason for dropping one star was shipment was via DPD which meant (again) that I had no tracking info until the "we are on our way" message.

Price and delivery and a speedy…

Price and delivery and a speedy response to questions.
If you want a suggestion, can I suggest you take a long hard look at your website. It is jerkie, jumbled and some of the links are not connected. I tried several times to register the product, but with great difficulty. I also had the error message when I looked for the "technical" link suggested by the warranty cards.

As per my previous

As per my previous.
'People buy from people', Tom has ensured I'll be back as and when I'm looking for something.
Plus, I must add, I do like Vintage guitars and have since purchased a VR6 12 string which I collect this coming Saturday. I will buy more over time.
