Never Delivered - No refund despite proof

I never received my item which DHL claimed they delivered to me, but in fact, delivered to a wrong address which refused it. Thomann refuses to refund me £77.90 despite DHL's photo showing wrong delivery location and DHL's admssion to me that they delivered to a wrong place. DHL never got back to me afterwards.

Because DHL's system claims that it was delivered to my address, Thomann will ignore all my evidence gathered and refuses to give me my refund or replacement, saying they must "investigate."

I did two weeks of investigation for Thomann and chased down what happened with evidence, but neither Thomann nor their chosen courier DHL is showing accountability nor empathy.

£77.90 is a drop in a bucket for these two companies. But for a student on a budget who saved up for weeks to buy a reed cutter for my saxophone practice, it is a fortune.

What an unempathetic, unprofessional company.

I ordered a Cordier Reed cutter for my saxophone and paid their shipping fee. DHL claimed to have delivered to my address signed for it by a nonexistent "sam"

Hello,

We are very sorry to read about this situation, as it is clearly not the experience we want for our customers.
What you describe regarding the delivery and the information you received is unusual and definitely needs to be reviewed in detail. We understand how frustrating this must be, especially given the effort you have already put into investigating the issue yourself.

Please contact us at reviews@thomann.de with your order details so we can take a closer look and support you further.

Beware of Long Return Delays at Thomann

I’m very disappointed with my recent return experience at Thomann. It’s been over two weeks since I sent the item back and I still haven’t received my refund. According to the tracking information, the return has been stuck at customs for eight days now with no progress. The whole process feels far too slow compared to other retailers. I expected a smoother and faster resolution from a company of Thomann’s size and reputation

Hi Mikkel!

A true late-night hero! That music stand light sounds like the quiet MVP of your rehearsals — strong clip, perfect brightness levels, and no more squinting at sheet music like it is a secret code. Even the night shift deserves good lighting!

Glad it is making your sessions easier, and we wish you many smooth rehearsals ahead.

Guitar clearly wasn’t brand new

Guitar clearly wasn’t brand new, a lot of scratches on the guitar body and neck, the headstock was dented?? This definitely didn’t happen in transit as the guitar came nested in 2 boxes and a guitar case which were all fine. The input jack had visible grime and collected dust… Thomann admitted it had been sent to a customer before but apparently was “never accepted”. The manufacturer box had been re-sealed several times? They tried to offer me £75 off a £1700 damaged guitar which was laughable. Wasting my time sending me a guitar which clearly wasn’t new (as labeled) and leaving me the hassle of sending it back.

Hello Ben,

We are sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate you taking the time to describe everything in detail.
From what you have outlined, there can be multiple factors involved in situations like this. Even with careful packaging, damage or marks can sometimes occur during transit, and at the same time, the prior handling and inspection of the item before dispatch are also taken into account when assessing its condition.

An instrument sold as new should meet clear expectations, and we understand why the condition you received led to disappointment. Feedback like yours is important, as it helps us review where processes may need closer attention.

We would like to look into your case again together with all available information. Please contact us at reviews@thomann.de with your order details so we can review this properly and assist further.

Do not place orders

Do not place orders! The products you order for the "sale" price are not even in stock. Because it is an international order. Your money is gone! God knows when I recieve my refund. Called costumer service. They do not help at all. The cancelled products of mine are still in stock. Really dissapointend in Europe"s "BIGGEST" music store. You can change it to Europe"s lowest costumer service!

The best online shop ever!

They respond in seconds. Placing the order is smooth and quick. They have very friendly and professional support. If you claim a warranty issue, there are no unnecessary questions! You can call them, write an e-mail or talk to them online. Talk to the real person, not some AI... There is no online shop like that. And I'm not an employee of Thomann, just one very satisfied customer!

I bought an electronic drum kit in January 2026 as a gift for my daughter. It quickly became a major disappointment.
The drum module was defective from day one. I've had to send it back three times, and the kit has been stuck in transit or under repair for over two months. Multiple support reps and even a third-party company confirmed the module is faulty. Extremely frustrating — Thomann seems to have little control and even less care for customers.

Hi Javier,

We are very sorry to hear about the ongoing difficulties you have experienced with the electronic drum kit and the repeated returns.
Situations involving multiple returns, extended repair times, and confirmed technical faults are understandably frustrating, and we regret that we have not been able to resolve this to your satisfaction so far. Your feedback regarding communication and handling is taken seriously.

We would appreciate the opportunity to review your case in detail and better understand the full history so we can support you appropriately. Please contact us at reviews@thomann.de with your order details so we can investigate further and find a suitable solution.

Thank you for your patience, and again, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused.

Worrying unboxing experience

The box it showed up in did not exactly inspire confidence. The products were just loosely in a box that was barely holding together. I thankfully did not order expensive electronics, just a bag and a cheap power supply.

Hello Otto,

We appreciate your honest feedback, and we are sorry to hear about the condition your package arrived in.
Even if the items were not damaged, this is not the standard we aim for when it comes to packaging. We completely understand why this would make you hesitant about future purchases.

We would be more than happy to take a closer look at this for you. If you would like, please share your order details with us at reviews@thomann.de so we can review what happened and address it internally.

Thank you in advance.

terrible customer service (2 orders within 5 days apart)

2 issues within 2 individual orders within 1 week.

a) Today (Mar 2026) I placed an order for a guitar (webpage says in stock). I authorized the payment and 2 hours later I got the mail that the guitar was sold out.

Subsequent communication with customer support to find a different offer turned to a nightmare where the support person failed to explain the issue in proper English.

b) 5 days ago I asked Thomann to help find a 3rd party locking tuners to my PRS SE Piezo. I asked about specific shaft length, thinner washers, provided the measurements. Thomann guitar team just replied with generic PRS tuners ignoring any details I asked for or provided. I reached back and never heard back from them again.

Music instruments are physical items that need to be tried. Online stores bring the convenience (order from home, cheaper price, ...) but they remove the physical touch. Therefore customer service must step in to provide excellent help. Clearly that has not yet happened at thomann (the biggest European music online retailer)

Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We are very sorry to hear about your recent experiences.
In extremely rare situations multiple customers may place orders for the same item at nearly the same time. This can result in the product appearing available when the order is placed, but ultimately being out of stock once all orders are processed. We understand how frustrating this is and sincerely apologize if this happened in your case, as well as for the follow-up communication that did not meet expectations.

Concerning your inquiry about locking tuners for your PRS SE Piezo, we also apologize that the response felt generic and did not address the detailed information you provided. This is not our intention, especially when dealing with specific technical requirements. We will review this internally to ensure more precise and helpful guidance in the future.

Your feedback is taken seriously and will be used to improve both our communication and technical assistance.

Your Thomann Team.
