I wouldn’t even give this company 1 star. Dishonest & money grabbing. I hired a Clarinet while using them to hire a saxophone. Taking out the e-contract I wasn’t aware that they had changed there retu... See more

Five star recommendation from me

Five star recommendation from me. I have two guitars from Duet both set up perfectly to play straight out of the box. The process is straight forward and delivery was very quick. Natalie and Sarah are really helpful and efficient, making the the whole process a pleasant experience.

Great experience with Duet shop

Nothing was too much trouble for Duet Shop. Bought a piano for my wife as a surprise. I don’t know much about pianos, but these guys gave me lots of help and advice! They were really flexible about the delivery too! Couldn’t be happier with the service! My wife loves the piano too 👍🏻

admin error

I received an unpleasant email when my direct diver failed... their fault not mine, and I was told I’d breached such and such... turns out it was a fault on their computer system after they made me ring my bank etc. Didn’t even get an apology. Disappointing.

Slightly misleading when the website…

Slightly misleading when the website says "delivery in 3-7 days" - I ordered and got my payment confirmation nearly a week ago and haven't even got the tracking details yet, or any other information from them at all. I've also had no reply from customer service even though I emailed them a couple of days ago. Apart from that, the value is great and the application process was pretty quick and easy and I'm hopeful that my items will arrive soon.

Hello,

Thank you for your feedback.

We apologise that you have not had a positive experience with us. Unfortunately, the guitar you ordered was not available from any of our verified suppliers but we are happy to hear you have been able to source it elsewhere. Your refund has now been processed and will be with you in the standard 3-5 working days.

Thank you,

Amazing

Cautious of taking out finance as I’m midway through a mortgage application, so this seemed too good to be true! Really affordable and meant I was able to rent a piano that I could absolutely not afford otherwise (£2000 worth). No applications on my credit file and AMAZING customer service, I got replies to my emails instantly and Natalie even managed to make sure I got my piano sooner than the estimated date as I was in a rush. Cannot rate them enough!
