What disappoints me a bit is the structure of the effects chain and how to edit it. The NAM 2 update, announced with loud drumming, also brought with it a few bugs, and the solution is still awaited.... See more

U kunt met volledig vertrouwen en gemoedsrust bij Gear4music bestellen. Wij bieden standaard een 30 dagen niet-goed-geld-terug garantie die kan worden verlengd tot 180 dagen tegen een kleine vergoeding. Dit is ter aanvulling van onze productgaranties, die bescherming bieden tegen productfouten of defecten binnen twee tot zes jaar na aankoop. Onze 'geld terug'-garantie is een aanvulling op uw wettelijke rechten en wijkt af van het aanbod van veel andere verkopers, omdat onze terugbetalingstermijn 30 dagen is in plaats van de Europese standaard van 14 dagen.

Will return to Gear4Music

I got great feedback on the availability of the product (was in backorder). When it was available it was shipped quickly and well packaged.
All custom duties and import from UK (to NL) is handled by Gear4Music so you don't have to be afraid of any additional costs.
I will buy again at this shop.

I paid £7 extra for fast delivery and on the day of delivery all I get from the carrier which is DPD was we have an unexpected issue. That’s all the sms messaged and emailed me. I’m not saying it’s gear4musics fault but from what I’ve read DPD are one of the worse for delivering parcels. They have not given me any more information about my parcel and or won’t. It’s ridiculous. And when I tried to get a hold of them all they said was when it’s on its way I’ll get an e-mail no indication to when it’s due or what the “unexpected issue” was.

After reading all these reviews I clearly have been mugged right off.

If you want to keep your money in your bank account AVOID AVOID AND AGAIN AVOID!

Unacceptable Wait Time and Lack of Transparency with Gear4Music.nl

Unacceptable Wait Time and Lack of Transparency with Gear4Music.nl’s USB Order
Absolutely avoid ordering from them if you need a USB key quickly and appreciate clear communication!
Here's why my experience was terrible:
* Uninformed 3-Week Wait: I placed an order for a single USB key on the Dutch website, with no indication it would take 3 weeks to arrive. The misleading email promised delivery by 31/05/24, which was still an unreasonable wait for a single item.
Nowhere on the website did it state the USB key wouldn't be shipped from within the Netherlands. This crucial information could have helped me avoid the long wait.
* Forced to Wait: The lack of a clear cancellation option left me stuck waiting for the incredibly slow delivery.
* No Tracking: The chosen "delivery option" (which I believe was misrepresented) offered no tracking information, leaving me completely in the dark about the status of my order.
* Slow Refund: After finally waiting 3 weeks, they agreed to a refund, but it can take an additional 5 days to receive my money!
This entire experience was frustrating and unacceptable. Look elsewhere if you value clear communication and prompt service.

Customer service is poor.

I placed an order which was supposed to arrive 3 or 4 business days later.
Their selected courier - DPD - apparently messed it up and after half a dozen 'There's a delay with your parcel at our sortation facility' they sent it back to Gear4music, without any reason why.

I ordered for quite some money from Gear4music last couple of months but the customer service apparently didn't care.
So I asked for an explanation / compensation, got none.
Instead of making it an express delivery (and let DPD pay for that as it was their mistake), I got a delivery estimate for another 2 weeks.

So I cancelled the order and requested for my money back.
I had to check myself if it was done, I didn't get any update about the status.
They could have had a returning customer who buys regularly but apparently chose not to.

I'll give 2 stars because previous orders went better.
But chances are very slim I'll order from them again.

Warning to all owners of valuable musically equipment think of selling/ trading steer clear of cowboys. Recently had Fender twin amplifier damaged beyond repair by their 'safe and reliable collection service' for details and photos contact. They refuse any liability?

Dear Steven,

We appreciate you taking the time to review our services.

However, we are deeply sorry to hear that your item was damaged during transit. We understand the inconvenience this must have caused you and we sincerely apologize for any frustration or disappointment you may have experienced.

We would like to take this opportunity to remind all our trade-in customers to ensure that their products are adequately packaged for international transport before sending them to us. This will help to minimize the risk of damage during transit and ensure that your items arrive safely and in good condition.

Unfortunately, in your case, the insufficient packaging led to the damage of your item during transit. As a result, we regret to inform you that we are unable to purchase it from you. However, we have taken the necessary steps to return the item to you.

Once again, we apologize for any inconvenience caused and we hope that you will consider using our services again in the future.

Great overall experience
Good UX on the website and follow-up emails. Prompt delivery right on time!
I am super happy with those amazing Tannoy speakers. Very clear in the middle/upper range, perfect for vocals.
Dynamic and deep bass. I've plugged them to my tv with a Denon mini amp and they deliver clear and deep sound in any scene. LOUD!

Took a very long time to pay for the instrument that I traded in

UPD 28/2/2024:

Sent the money a day after I published my review, which is nice, but should never have taken so long. BTW they used one of the methods I had suggested earlier to eventually pay me. The manager I spoke to also apologized.

After a few months of studying in Sweden I traded in my guitar through gear4music.se. I filled out a contract that asked me for my bank details including IBAN. They got my instrument, but now they are saying that in order to get my money, I need to have a Swedish bank account in my name. This fact is not stated anywhere in the trade-in T&C, moreover, they don't even use IBAN in Sweden, and the form I filled in at the beginning asked for an IBAN number. Now I have been exchanging emails with them for a few months and all they are saying is "We can't transfer your money to you, let us know if you need help with anything else". So basically they stole my guitar. I would avoid dealing with this dishonest company in the future.

Estimated delivery date postponed 2 months later

I have ordered digital piano, stand and bench on 16 Jan 2024 with mentioning estimated delivery date 26-29 Jan 2024. However, then it postponed to first 8 March 2024, and now 11 March 2024. And there is no explanation or any alternative solutions. And their phone number can not be reachable. It is a huge disappointing from my side since it is supposed to be my daughter birthday gift.
