I visited the sax.co.uk store in London recently and the overall service was really bad. Disinterested staff, and it felt like no one could be bothered to help properly. What made the whole experienc... See more

Hi Sax.co.uk, I've had excellent experience from purchasing from your store online. The site is well organised and there are really helpful object tips (for instance from Jules on reeds), which he... See more

This is an export - possibly brexit - problem as far as I can see. I was frustrated after waiting a week for mouthpiece, ligature and reeds, so I ordered from another company and it arrived yesterday.... See more

If I could give 6 stars I would

If I could give 6 stars I would. I ordered a Reed online on Thursday night, phoned to add an item and they both arrived here in France on Tuesday. Extremely efficient service. No question about customs duty, vat etc. All dealt with without any fuss.

I order an Aerophone PRO AE30

I order an Aerophone PRO AE30. Sax.co.uk, was the only supplier in the UK who had them in stock. Their price was amazing, I spoke to them over the phone and they were exceedingly polite and helpful. I ordered online as it made the process quicker and the Aerophone was delivered before lunch the following day. It just doesn't get much better than this. 5/5

It's the second time I try but I can't buy a sax mouthpiece. When ordering The website does not specify if it is in stock and how long it takes to get it...so it's not clear if you just ordered or really bought the mouthpiece.
This happened with my last experience: after 10 days of placing the order ( and paid )they informed me that the tip opening of the mouthpiece I had chosen was never available from the maker. availability and delivery times should be made explicit at the time of purchase....Really unprofessional!

Huge apologies for this bad experience . We have processed your refund already- hopefully you’ll have seen the email notification of the refund .
Concerning the specific ‘piece – I’m afraid that with these small scale, boutique manufacturers, supply and communication can occasionally be quite erratic. This design is new and - at the time of setting them up on the website we did not have full information on the exact tip sizes available.
We’re very sorry this didn’t work out for you

Your products are very good

Your products are very good and service also.

I only rate as average, because I still haven't receipt de package. I've purchased it one time before and it was lost by the mail company. I hope that this time I received is successfully.

I know its not your fault, and appreciate all your quick support.

Dear Eduardo
We’re sorry about the shipping issues here. The Chilean postal service definitely lost this package. However- as soon as this was confirmed- we did reship your order at no cost to yourself.
Apologies that this hasn’t run smoothly

Fast delivery but wring item.

Fast delivery and easy to use website but they send me the wrong (cheaper) product than what I paid for.
