Hi Abraham,
You placed your order on 27th December 2023. The couriers were back on 28th December and your order was dispatched that same day and was received by you on 29th December 2023.
In fairness, I would say that we did quite well considering that it was during Christmas
Thank you for your comments

Excellent customer service

I popped in to buy a guitar as a present with no knowledge.

I was assisted by Jonathan who listed to what I was looking for and guided me through the options based on the parameters I gave him.

He was thorough, patient and kind and took took time for me to make my decision. He assisted me further in making sure the instrument was in tune and getting the accessories I requested to accompany the guitar and ordered a song book that I been looking for.

I couldn’t recommend Jonathan or the Sound Ship more.

Very poor customer service

I ordered some items which were shown as being in stock. After 4 days when there was no sign of anything arriving, and no facility to track delivery, I rang to enquire about the order. The person who answered the call had no information so took my details for someone else to call me back. I received no phone call by the end of that day. I rang again the next day and was told that the items weren't actually in stock and it would take a number of weeks. I cancelled the order. I had made the conscious decision on this occasion to use an Irish online retailer if they ha what I needed. I will be sticking with Thomann from now on, where the service is always reliable.

Hi Sean,
Apologies that you had a bad experience. If you check out our other trustpilot reviews, you will see that this is not typical.
Sorry that you feel that your business has to go abroad - I believe that they will charge you €15 to send it here which is more than half of the value of the order placed with us, so its bound to cost you alot more in the end.
But again, apologies that we were not able to supply the sleigh bells that you were looking for on this occasion
