No tracking, no notification.

Brought a guitar from them on the "Reverb" site.
It was despatched with no notification and no tracking, no email, delivered unexpectedly just as I was about to leave my home.
That is not how I expect an expensive item to be delivered, it will be the first and last thing I ever buy from them.

A Worry Free Purchase All Round.

This was an easy purchase thanks to the company's informative website and clear pricing. Payment was straightforward and the guitar arrived well packed and within the time specified. The instrument is in perfect condition and was strung appropriately for the journey. This is a company I will definitely be buying from the again.

I bought a guitar from them 26/02/26.
It wasn’t the right guitar and I wanted a refund.
I’ve emailed 3 times for a returns label & I’m happy to pay postage inline with their conditions. They’ve not replied && theres no phone number to contact them on - email only .

I recently ordered a Rapier Rocket from…

I recently ordered a Rapier Rocket from Ivor Mairants Musiccentre and the whole experience was, for the most part, excellent. The Rocket itself is a magnificent beast – a modern recreation of the legendary Burns Flyte – and it’s every bit as striking in person as one might hope. It has already been admired, played, and generally fussed over like a prized new arrival in the household.

What particularly impressed me was the speed of service. I placed the order and the guitar arrived the very next day, which is exactly the sort of efficiency that makes musicians beam like children on Christmas morning. The instrument was very well packaged and arrived in perfect condition, ready to be unleashed into the world of riffs and twang.

The only slight wrinkle in an otherwise glowing experience was with the courier rather than the shop itself. The delivery driver rang the doorbell, placed the parcel — which was very clearly a guitar-sized box — on the doorstep, and then departed with impressive decisiveness. Luckily I was at home and able to rescue this most splendid instrument from its brief but perilous stint as an unattended porch ornament. Had I been out, it might easily have wandered off with someone less musically inclined.

That small moment of doorstep drama aside, the service from Ivor Mairants Musiccentre was excellent: lightning-fast dispatch, careful packaging, and a wonderful instrument now safely in my hands. I would happily recommend them to anyone in search of a fine guitar and efficient service.

Great experience

Easy ordering, great price and quick delivery. Only minor gripe is that the order confirmation said I would be notified when the item was dispatched. I wasn't.

I would certainly use IMM again.

The items that I received are excellent. The only problem is that one item is missing and it has been a nightmare trying to get any response back from them they have not responded yet to my emails

A great buyin experience.

The website was useful in finding what I wanted, the description was good, delivery worked well and the quality of the item was high. What's not to like!?

I only received one of my two items ordered

I only received a vintage pick tin and not the Cavern Club liverpools own pick tin. Recieved no reply after emailing a number of times to highlight the issue. Not happy as paid for both.

Now 10 days since one of my items was not received and still no response to any of my emails. No customer service at all....
