Very good service. And communication throughout the transaction. Received a refund for the Saturday delivery That did not happen. But that may be a courier issue. Not Rimmers. Thanks

If you have a job and can’t collect your parcels during the day don’t buy anything from this shop. They require a proof of identity to show to the driver and don’t allow to leave the parcel in a safe place. If you want to cancel the order they will charge you for extra money. A proper scam. Be careful!!

We sell high value items so for security it does mean that we have to deliver the item rather than leaving it somewhere insecure. Couriers do usually deliver during the day, but if you are at work we do offer a Saturday delivery option or you can get shipped elsewhere if you use a secure payment method for doing that. If someone cancels an item because its unwanted, we do charge the return postage for doing that. All of these things are to be expected when buying an item online, there's no certainly no scam.

Really good experience. I spoke to Barry regarding a digital piano. Really nice man, wasn’t pushy in any way at all, he just happily shared his knowledge and opinion. Delivery was next day. The whole experience was positive and made me glad I chose Rimmers over that corporate monster on the internet that was the same price.

Rimmers Music provided an excellent service with next day delivery, as promised. A query regarding our order was answered rapidly; I received a reassuring phone call within minutes of raising the query through Rimmers' online contact form. We were delighted to receive a beautiful piano in perfect condition on the day my daughter started her lessons.

I bought a Yamaha P125 pro package from Rimmers. The item was despatched quickly but unfortunately the courier couldn’t deliver on the first attempt. It took another two attempts to get delivery - I got two packages on one day followed by two further packages the next day. Not that I hold Rimmers responsible for this. The actual keyboard is great - really authentic piano sounds. The stand and the stool are also good quality. The only thing I won’t be using are the headphones - they are like cheap aircraft headphones. All in all, I’m very happy with my purchase.

The guitar I bought was excellent and at a good price. However, the experience with the carrier they used rather marred things. I had some issues contacting Rimmers as their contact e mail has an auto reply stating they will get back to you within 48 hours which isn’t exactly useful. The carrier used,TNT, has a very poor rating on Trust Pilot. Rimmers say they use them as they are the only carrier that will take a piano? I didn’t order a piano and there are some excellent carriers out there with tracking that is spot on. To be fair, I did actually get the guitar I ordered next day, but due to the lack of tracking information I had no idea when delivery would be made and was initially told that it would be delayed by 24 hours. I am a busy man and need to get out and about, but fortunately I was in to accept the delivery. I don’t want to waste whole days wondering if a delivery is going to be made. So to summarise, Rimmers are a good and reliable supplier, unfortunately let down by their choice of carrier which is a shame and obviously detracts from their otherwise good service. I tend to buy a lot of instruments, much to my wife’s dismay, and I will first check with other retailers that I know use reliable carriers.

Excellent price on a Fender Player Strat. Practically instant answer to an emailed question about delivery. Would buy from them again, no hesitation. Just an aside: Pay more than £6 for a guitar strap!

The pre-sales team were very helpful when I contacted them about the piano I planned to purchase and my special delivery requirements. The piano was dispatched quickly to their courier service (TNT). I had emailed weeks in advance to ensure delivery would in fact be next day as I wouldn’t manage the piano upstairs and would have to pay for folks to help with it. The next day, no piano and no update to let me know. £100 out of pocket to cover the costs of the help. I contacted TNT with not much luck. I also contacted Rimmers who contacted TNT on my behalf and advised me the piano would be delivered in the Monday. This left me in a bad situation as I didn’t have help booked for Monday. Another £100 to cover the costs of help to bring the box upstairs. Towards the end of the working day, the piano arrived. The boys found it easy to assemble and it looks, feels and sounds great. I’m really happy with it but disappointed with the shipping as it left me £100 down for no fault of my own. Especially having contacted weeks in advance and provided my address and detailed I’d need help. If delivery was on time, I’d have rated this 5*. After looking at the reviews TNT receive, I should have considered going elsewhere with a different courier service available. Rimmers we’re very polite and quick to reply but I’m still £100 out of pocket from the experience.
