On Friday morning

On Friday morning, I placed an order and was greeted by a very courteous and friendly staff member who promptly assured me the item would be dispatched immediately. To my delight, it was delivered by 9:30 AM the very next day, Saturday. This level of efficiency is truly exceptional and sets a standard for others to follow. You're definitely earning a spot on my Christmas card list. Many thanks!

Courier service not good

Well, I went on line and followed the couriers instructions as to where they could leave my parcel. I asked them to leave it under my barbecue for delivery on Monday , they turned up didn't leave the parcel and texted me to say no one was home to sign for it. I rang the local office and told them what I had done and even gave them the drivers name"Paul ", they said they had no record of this on the system even though I quoted the drivers name they didn't believe me. Well I said, the system your using doesn't work, the lady replied that's head offices central log not ours. Case closed, and thanks to Nottingham drum and guitar.

Sorry to hear you had delivery problems Shaun.. If you had phoned me I could have spoken to the courier and tried to sort it out. I presume the parcel arrived in the end? Once again, apologies for any inconvenience.. I will take this up with the couriers, as rare events like this reflect badly on us ( plus the fact that we pay them to deliver within 25 hours ). Regards, David

Great speedy and reliable service

Good, clear website. Easy to order. Order arrived pretty quick and I got a text telling my the hour slot my drums would arrive in ... and they did (within 5 minutes of the start of the timeslot). Excellent.

Great Service, Great Products

Helpful, friendly service. Quick delivery and great price. The cymbal is amazing too! My first purchase from drumandguitar.co.uk, but it won't be the last. Highly Recommended. Thank You!

Always prompt and professional

I have dealt with Nottingham Drum & Guitar Centre on a number of occasions now. I have always received a first class service which includes sound advice, a very competitive pricing policy and very speedy delivery. I recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone and what particular impresses me is the matter of fact no-nonsense approach that makes me feel i can ask the dumb questions without being looked down upon as a mere drum novice. This is how people learn, with astute guidance and friendly service. Thank you.

Unsurpassable customer service.

When you next buy a guitar, I implore you to use DrumandGuitar.co.uk. The service I received was exceptional. Fast, friendly and professional.

I seriously could not recommend this company enough.

Courteous, efficient and superb customer service.

Ended up buying a kit from these guys as I saw on the internet that they had the colour I wanted and it was now discontinued, really glad I did. From the moment I called them through to the point when they were delivered (exactly on time free of charge) they’ve been a pleasure to deal with. They ordered a specific case for the bass drum for me and even agreed to hold them for a few weeks as I wanted them to be delivered after Xmas. I wouldn’t hesitate in using them again for any of my drumming needs big or small. I just wish there was an independent retailer that was as good as these guys here in Birmingham, give them a ring their customer service is excellent.

Speedy and efficient!

My husband is a drummer and wanted some new sticks for Christmas. I wanted to get some from the Nottingham Drum and Guitar Centre as we've shopped there before. Plus I wanted to make my purchase and support a local business rather than boost Amazon's sales! Found what I wanted on the website straightaway and my drum sticks arrived as quickly as Royal Mail could post them. Brilliant. Husband is going to be happy on Christmas Day...once I've given him the real drumsticks...after I've laughed to myself over and over about the 'Drumsticks' sweets I'm giving him first. Thanks Drum Centre and Merry Christmas :)
