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!

Delivery was very quick

Delivery was very quick. I didn't get any updates from Ivor Mairants until the item had been delivered though, but I got a great deal from them. I will use them again.

Excellent customer service

Excellent customer service. Was looking for item that was hard to get hold off and was not in stock. They ordered it for me and I received item quickly.

New Nut!

Supplied new guitar nut quickly using Royal Mail.

Very small item should have warranted lower postage cost, would have been 5 stars otherwise.

Great service, great price!

I live in Sydney Australia. I'm visiting UK for 5 weeks. I wanted an inexpensive acoustic for finger-style and slide. The perfect little guitar was available at a ridiculously low price. My mate who is with Gibson Guitars was amazed. Tom who took 3 calls from me was incredibly helpful and ensured the set-up was as requested, with higher-than-usual action and medium rather than light strings fitted. The parcel was delivered on time and in good order. Great service, just the guitar I needed. Tom, anytime time you're in Sydney I owe you a beer or two! Cheers. Hamish

Very good website, fast delivery.

Very good website with well described items. Good prices and relatively low threshold for free delivery. I was kept informed of shipping and item arrive quickly, well packaged.

Only negative was I forgot to add something small to order and my email to correct this did not get a response - so I didn't receive or pay for item.
