Super fast delivery and item was in incredible condition! Item was on clearance as 'box damaged', but the box was barely damaged and the item was in MINT condition. Would buy from them again 100%!

I have to say reading the one star reviews the authors are expecting perfection to, usually, an unreasonable level. Just as well complain the sun wasn't shining when item delivered. The item I ordered... See more

Fantastic company that has been around for decades. I first used Advanced MP3 back around 2005-2008 or so, to buy my iRiver players or a Cowon D2 - I can't recall which but they were my goto compa... See more

Consistently good service

I cannot quite understand all the negative reviews on here. I have used Advancedmp3players for years now and I have ordered hundreds of pounds worth of stuff. Delivery was always fast, their choice is great, maybe a bit overwhelming for some, and the one time I had to return a product, that I did not like, refund was speedy and no hassle. Their buyers guide are quite a good start if you need some info before buying telling it like it is. Often in more depth and less biased (Apple is really not that great for sound quality) than some respected hi-fi magazines.

DO NOT GO NEAR THEM!! AWFUL COMPANY

My order was cancelled for absolutely no reason what so ever. Customers service had awful attitude and I was insulted on the phone. This company does not deserve to be trading online.

Avoid like the plague

They put out a Groupon offer for Denon NC-600 Noise Cancelling Headphone and they had no stock!!!!

No way to run a business. They deserve to go bust.

Another week waiting and still no headphones. I've told them to cancel the order - let's see what happens.

I know of the problem you described, which was unfortunately caused by more codes being given out to people than we had actually given to Groupon; although I can appreciate that this caused you inconvenience and hopefully the refund was issued promptly.

Next day delivery and also refunded quickly

I bought some £300 headphones from Advanced MP3 Players, and as promised they were delivered the next day by FedEx. Unfortunately they didn't fit my ears so I sent them back. The whole returns process was simple, with them sending updates at each status change, and they did not fuss that the packaging had been opened. The refund came within a week of sending the phones back. I'm very happy with that level of service.

Bad after sales service

My player developed a fault 6 weeks after purchase. I returned it almost 3 months ago and am still waiting for it to be repaired/refunded. I have sent 2 follow up emails and called them with still no response. Spend your money elsewhere

Good Choice - OK value

I have bought 3 mp3 players from these guys. All 3 have failed and had to go back for either a refund or replacement within 6 months of purchase. AM3 don't make these they are only resellers, however I was not impressed. Also, they were less then helpful when my Sony mp3 failed, they were not interested and said I had to return to Sony direct. After to speaking to Sony, no not the case, so a bit of too and from there.

Time of writing I returned my last one and went to Argos instead. I will never use ADMP3 again. Poor

No idea of customer service

I ordered an exo2 heatband from the company via Amazon. delivery estimate 5-7 Jan. I paid for express delivery. The item was never dispatched and when I complained the order was cancelled. No replies to emails, no apology. I'd never order anything from them again

3 weeks and waiting....

Three weeks waiting for a Cowon O2 - which they seemed to have in stock, but their warehouse/backroom staff couldn't be bpothered to send out. Easier to say they're "waiting for stock" which they put back delivery THREE times, yet all the time they had stock.
A furious email later and their boss admitted they had one and would be sent out "next day delivery"....which would be with me at earliest THREE DAYS LATER

These people are atrociouis. I will never EVER use them again.
The problem seems to be with the types they employ to get the stuff out to people. geriatrics, 80 years plus ? Or Snotty-nosed 17 year olds who can't read ?

I don't think Ive ever been so angry at a company's incompetence.
The only one WORSE was "pleasecanihaveone.co.uk" - who DON'T send out what you ordered and dont answer emails at all.

Of course - it hasn't arrived yet, and with this company's abysmal record with me, it might still NOT
The only company I know who boasts "next day delivery" which will reach you in three or four days
That sums them up.
BEWARE

Good looking site, reality doesn't match

Their website said the product is in stock, and deliverable by Christmas eve. So I order here, instead of another website, because it's slightly cheaper here. BIG MISTAKE.

I got an email the evening before saying they were out of stock and would deliver NEXT YEAR. And now, it's too late to order from anyone else before Christmas. Thanks a lot.

I gave this a one star review because the website said 'in stock', when it wasn't, and 'next day delivery', which didn't happen. There are two blatant lies there. I seem to have gotten my money back, but it's still ruined a christmas present. All they needed to do was BOTHER to update the website to say "sorry, out of stock", and everyone could have been happier.
