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!

False advertised product and no response to emails

This company use a supplier for some of their products, but clearly do not apply due diligence. The item I received looked significantly different to the item advertised. It was also lower in quality. It looked like some kind of replica or fake. I have contacted the company for a refund and to alert them to the issue. No reply received after three days. Poor all round.

Really fast delivery and packaging was excellent for my order and was delighted by the price and quality of the guitar I purchased, especially with it being a B-Stock item. It was well set up and only needed a few tweaks from myself - I run a guitar repair shop - to make it 100% perfect for my style of playing. Would recommend and will shop with them again.

Good guitar. Shocking delivery service.

Good value guitar which I am pleased with. However very poor performance by DPD who failed to turn up two days in a row (claiming there was no one at home which is untrue - my wife stayed home specially and watched the drive). I messaged you about the problem at the time and received no response. We had to take a risk on the third day and instruct DPD to leave it by our front door as my wife had other commitments. Fortunately it was still there but had it not been then there would have been no comeback.
