Great price and fast delivery. It would have been 5 stars, but I bought an ex display vintage bass that was referred as still grade A but the brass saddles came all rusty. I'm fine with that, especi... See more

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!

Very poor service. Do not use.

Item was upposed to be in stock and 3-4 day delivery. It took almost 2 weeks to arrive. No communication. No delivery update. Didn't' reply to emails I sent and no way to contact you by phone.
Extremely poor and would not recommend you to anybody.

Great guitar, great price!

I purchased an ex-demo electric guitar from Ivor Mairants and I’m super happy with the guitar.
The price was great and despite being ex-demo the guitar was in near mint condition.
The delivery was a little slow, but as soon as I contacted the supplier to question they shipped it out and it arrived the following day, so happy overall with the customer service.
Would buy from Ivor Mairants again.

Item arrived much later than…

Item arrived much later than advertised- with no explanation as to why. Called and emailed the company to try and get an update as I’d ordered specifically from them to meet a deadline but was met with silence. No calls or emails were returned. Item then turned up over a week late without warning - no dispatch or tracking info was provided.

Contact Form issue

I got a very good deal on a Vintage guitar and it was delivered promptly. No problems with it, and just as described. I did then have cause to use the Contact Form as I had a query about something - BUT I have had no response at all. (And I sent my message well over a week ago). So, I'm disappointed on that score. If Mairants HAD responded to me, and answered my question satisfactorily, I'd probably have given 5 stars. Just a shame that this one aspect of their service wasn't much good...

My order is not complete and won't answer my emails but still took the money

Edit 3: Finally got my bass on the 20th of January ordered it September 18th. The Bass it self is good. Sounds and feels good. It's just a shame that it took so long to get it and to get in contact with them in the first place.

Ordered an ex demo fretless over a month ago still haven't got it. I have emailed the store a number of times and still got no information about my order but they took the money. Would not recommend

Edit:
They've gotten in touch with me on the 27th of October should hopefully get my order in December. The staff I have spoken to was very helpful

Edit 2:
Still didn't get my order as of January 6th

Best price

Best price, better than expected as sold as ex dem but was actually new and sealed. Arrived the next day with free shipping. Excellent service.
