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!

The guitars under the Vintage brand are…

The guitars under the Vintage brand are fantastic. The use of FedEx for shipping to the US. Isn't the best choice. I ordered a new guitar on 2 February it shipped out on 5 February via fedex and has yet to arrive. Tracking hasn't updated in four days. Keep selling great guitars, use a better delivery service.

First class service and a bargain!

I purchased a display Fret King Paul Rose, described as mint for half price. Not only was this an accurate description but I was unable to find any evidence of wear plus even had it been full price it would have been an absolute bargain for it is certainly a superb bit of kit.

Fast, efficient and reliable.

I received a refund from the company before they actually even received my payment for the goods ordered because of a mistake in pricing. I reordered the item I wanted at the proper price and it was with me in two days and in good condition, so I was very pleased overall and would have no hesitation in dealing with the company again.

Excellent Experience - Great Ukulele!

Great range of instruments at affordable prices. The ukulele I ordered arrived within a couple of days and was in perfect condition, well set up and well packaged. Communication was top notch too, so I knew when to expect the delivery. Totally recommended.
