Great customer service

Great customer service. I mistakenly ordered an extra gig bag after noticing the guitar I ordered came bundled with a bag. After contacting customer service I found out the shipment had already been dispatched. However they promptly offered a refund with no need to return the extra bag. No hassles included. Will take more care next time when ordering but thomann ensured minimal hassles. Thanks guys. Greatly appreciated.

Hey Gerard!

A surprise extra gig bag… that is basically the universe trying to start a band with you!
We are really glad everything turned into a smooth experience despite the double-order moment. Once a package is already on tour, it can be tricky to call it back for an encore—but finding a simple, hassle-free solution is always the goal.

Keeping the extra bag without the return dance sounds like a pretty nice bonus track on this order. And honestly, one can never have too many places to keep future musical adventures safe.

Thanks for the kind words—and no worries, even the best musicians sometimes play an accidental note😉

Hey Tudy!

We are really glad the whole process felt calm, kind, and steady from start to finish.
Patience is part of the arrangement here—no speed metal when a gentle groove does the job better.

Wishing plenty of joyful music moments ahead, with gear that keeps up with every idea that comes along.

Millenium MPS 1000 and Thomann - Amazing!

I’d been looking to upgrade my Alesis e drum kit to something more realistic for quite a while, and after researching online, the Millenium MPS 1000 consistently received positive reviews, and YouTube reviews were also very favourable.
The entire experience with Thomann was exceptional from ease of navigating the website, finding the produce I was after at a fantastic price, through to delivery.
As for the bundle package, it met every expectation and more, from excellent build quality, realistic feel and sound.

Hi Paul!

Somewhere between your first hit and that “this feels real” moment, a legend was born -very Neil Peart energy right there!

Smooth shopping, spot-on delivery, and a kit that actually feels like the real deal, now that’s a rhythm worth locking into. Sounds like you’ve got a setup ready for arena-level practice sessions… neighbors permitting.

Keep the beats coming!

Weeks of waiting for nothing

I attempted to order a drum kit through Thomann and it was not a pleasant experience. The delivery date was constantly being moved around. Their responses were swift but cryptic and ambiguous. I was told that the drums would "arrive in a few days." Then a few days would pass and nothing. I finally asked them for specifics, and they said they had no idea when the drums would ship. They finally sent me an email saying it would be months.
A complete waste of time. Better to shop for your instruments elsewhere.

Dear Mr. Chavez,

We’re sorry to hear about your experience and understand how frustrating it is when delivery timelines keep changing without clear information.

Availability estimates are based on information provided by our suppliers, and while we aim to keep these as accurate as possible, delays or changes can occur that are unfortunately outside of our control.

We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and will use your feedback to improve communication around changes to pushed-back stock delivery timelines.

Poor. Lack of communication and transparency along with poor customer service. Pretty frightening to have made this purchase. Kept in the dark. Delivery of guitar put me back into the light. Way,way too long a delivery after such a pricey purchase. Won’t be coming back for more…

As a UK customer

As a UK customer, considering their warehouse is in the EU, they do a great job in dispatching and having orders delivered in a timely fashion, usually in under a week.

Huge catalogue and great customer service

The assortment is huge. Prices are good even if the occational product can be found slightly cheaper elsewhere. Checkout is straighforward and shipping is good. The goods is on its’ way in a day or so, and it is always reliable, and tracking works like a charm. So far, they would be just below the highest score, but here comes the best part, the customer service. Their support is knowledgeable, respectful and prompt. I’ve had two product complaints, which have been handled meticulously. I even had a non catalogue request they could help me with. Great homepage, too, with wishlist options.

I had a very disappointing experience…

I had a very disappointing experience with Thomann.

I ordered and paid for a Yamaha YDP-145 (around €1,000), but received a completely different product (Thomann DP-32), which is worth around €500. This is a clear delivery error on their side, meaning the contract was never properly fulfilled.

When I contacted customer service, I was shocked by the response I received. Instead of acknowledging the mistake or trying to find a solution, they simply dismissed the issue.

At no point was there any willingness to investigate, take responsibility, or offer a fair resolution. The tone was rigid and unhelpful, which is extremely disappointing for a company of this size.

I expected much better customer care and accountability.

Be cautious when ordering - if something goes wrong, you may be left without any support.

I am beyond devastated.

UPDATE — 20/04/2026:

THOMANN ARE IGNORING MY EMAILS ATTEMPTING TO COORDINATE THE RETURN OF MIS-SOLD GOODS FOR WHICH THOMANN HAS MADE ME AN INVOLUNTARY BAILEE. RUN AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY, DO NO OFFER YOUR CUSTOM TO THOMANN. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED.

I purchased a Gretsch electric guitar along with a Fender amp from Thomann in the hopes of bringing some joy into my life after experiencing a period of homelessness and dark thoughts.

Unfortunately, I never got to open the guitar or amp and I am now in the process of sending both items back after Thomann mis-sold me an opened box product as new (the guitar amp) without disclosing this to me at the point of purchase. I promptly reported the issue and they claimed it was opened "for inspection"; regardless, the damage was done as my trust in Thomann was repaid with deceit. I extended an olive branch and requested that a replacement amp be sent out which could then be swapped for the opened box item during delivery by a courier; a reasonable request, but Thomann flat out refused to accomodate this.

Thomann have also tried to shift the burden of responsibility onto me for returning the mis-sold amp by requesting I print/write out returns forms and handwrite codes on the boxes — I refuse to do the admin work to rectify the return of goods not as described which were sold to me.

By treating me like this, Thomann's actions have plunged me back into a psychological abyss. I will never forgive this, and Thomann will not receive my custom ever again.

Thomann's CEO and his assistant have ignored my numerous emails. I find this very telling insofar as how common this practice of selling opened items as new must be at Thomann's warehouses.

Thomann does not have the integrity to publish this review on their own website, so I'll be sure to post it here and across the web in the hope of warning others from doing business with this crooked company.

Any attempts by Thomann to suppress my review and/or deny me a full refund will be met with a Letter Before Action. I take my consumer rights very seriously and will never shy away from confronting entities that believe they're above the laws and regulations of the UK.

Dear Dan,

Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed experience. We’re truly sorry to hear about what happened, and even more so that a moment meant to bring some light and music back into your life turned into something so disappointing. That’s never the note we want to strike with anyone.

We understand how important trust is, especially when purchasing an instrument and amp that should inspire creativity, not frustration. Your concerns about the opened-box amp and the return process matter, and we’d really like the chance to look into this again with you. If you’re willing, please reach out to reviews@thomann.de with your order details and we will take another look at your situation.

Thomann service is second to none, this applies to returns also.

I purchased a Cobalt 5s from Thomann online, it came as stated in the advert.
I could not for the life of me get a "peep out of it", so I sent Modal Electronics (the makers) an email asking for help. I did NOT get a reply to my HELP message.

I contacted Thomann and got HELP every step of the way. This help was amazing - I am returning it back to them and they get 5 STARS fore THEIR HELP in helping me return it.

Package marked as delivered, but never received – no resolution provided

I am extremely disappointed with how this case is being handled.

My order was marked as delivered, but I never received the package.

DHL has officially confirmed that the delivery protocol was not followed: the courier did not obtain my signature and instead registered it himself. This effectively invalidates the proof of delivery.

Despite this, Thomann continues to rely on an invalid “delivered” status and refuses to provide any solution (replacement or refund) until their internal investigation is completed, which may take up to 60 working days.

I have fully cooperated and followed all suggested steps. I checked with all neighbors, including through our building’s residents group, and no one has received the package.

At this point, there is no valid evidence that the package was delivered, and yet I am being asked to wait weeks without a solution. This is not acceptable. The responsibility for delivery clearly lies with the seller until the goods are actually received by the customer.

This is also the second time I experience a delivery issue with Thomann, which significantly undermines my trust in the company.
I expect a proper resolution without further delay.

I will update this review once the issue is properly resolved.

UPDATE:
The company is asking me to wait up to 60 working days for an “investigation” while I have neither the product nor my money. This is unacceptable.
The courier has already admitted that the signature was not properly obtained. Therefore, the delivery confirmation is invalid. The package was not delivered to me.
I have reported this case to the police. This situation is the result of failures in the delivery process, and it is the seller’s responsibility to resolve it — not mine.
Expecting a customer to wait two months under these circumstances is unreasonable. I expect an immediate refund.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re very sorry to hear about this situation and understand how frustrating it is when a parcel is marked as delivered but not received.

In such cases, we are required to open a formal investigation with the courier. While we understand this can take time, we must await the outcome before issuing a replacement or refund, as this process determines how the case is resolved. Please be assured that this is not intended to delay a solution, but to ensure the matter is handled correctly.

If you have any updates or would like us to check the current status, please contact us directly with your customer number so we can assist you further.
