Musikhaus Thomann e. K.

My guitar (entry level, cheap guitar as thomann insist in remember me), came with the package taped like if a 3 year old child do, not with staples, lots of dust, like an an exhibition device.
My amp (marshall) came with cable like a nest.
Now, after a lot of emails where they say that it is normal, that the manufacturer do that because it is a cheap guitar, I contact the manufacturer, and they said, quote: "I can assure you that this is not how this guitar was packed at the factory".
As I send the manufacturer email to them, they do not answer me any more.
I let go the amp thing.

It wasn't easy to find a way to solve my problem, but both sides kept an open mind and our focus on a solution instead of the problems.
I also need to recognize that Thomann has always replied back to me timely, in a moment when many companies would just leave me hanging (when things got really complicated). They persevered and made sure to see it through.
In my review I was advocating for myself, and whether it made a difference or not to the outcome, the fact is that the email conversation led us to end this in good terms.

I have bought so far, 1 guitar, 2 ukuleles, 2 pickups. From these, 1 pickup was not working, 1 ukulele was scratched and the guitar stopped working after a few months. They decided to recall the guitar which was then broken during transportation back to Germany. After appealing from their initial decision to sending the guitar as is (broken) back to me, I was able to obtain a satisfactory solution from Customer Support. The ukulele and pickup were so low value that they just decided to send me another one (still in transit).
So, not the best percentage so far, but I guess is good to know Customer Support was there in the end for me, even if I had to appeal from their initial decision in one of the issues. I hope to have better luck with their products next time.

I've been a loyal customer of Thomann for over 10 years, and always recommended people to buy from them, but after my last transaction I won't be buying from them ever again.
I received a guitar with a damaged neck and contacted them expecting a swift response for an exchange but that didn't happen. They asked for pictures which I sent, then they asked for more pictures which I sent again, and then they completely ignored me after that!
After a couple of days of not hearing from them, I contacted them to see what was happening, and they told me that I had to take the large parcel to a DHL drop off point! Pathetic! Bad service! Unnecessary stress and grief!
There are plenty of trustworthy companies out there with great customer service, unfortunately Thomann isn't one of them!

Horrible service. Watch there return policy. Don't buy if overseas. I was totally misinformed about my package delivery. My guitar's tracking service did not work properly. The US Postal Service sent it to hurricane ravaged Puerto Rico! Then had me sign for it before I could look at the box because it was behind the counter. They placed a note apologizing for the delay on the damaged box but NEVER explained why there was a delay. The company won't honor there money back guarantee without me shipping it back to them AT MY COST! That would cost me more than the guitar!
Also don't take your equipment to a local luthier for a set up because they claim it voids there warranty.

Purchased a guitar 40 days ago, arrived in pristine package but with neck broken in two.No way to get money back since then, customer care always repeating the same story about UPS courier responsability but no way to get refund. Beware

I did have a minor inconvenience when ordering but the customer support was really helpful and we solved the problem fairly quickly! Other than that the guitar is awesome! And it arrived earlier than expected

My first order was in 2022, when I got a Korg L380U piano. My initial hesitation and concerns fully fade away when this large and heavy instrument was delivered to Armenia in perfect condition. In 2024, I made two other orders including 2 guitars, 2 modeling amps and accessories, all in good packaging and in the quality as advertized. I'm blowed away by the excellence of my HB guitars - TE-62DB and SC 550ii!

The only issue I had was a factory defect with the PG Spark Go amp in my last order. It failed to shift stereo/mono in the app and the phone socket only had mono output. Thomann's customer support helped me greately with the warranty related investigation process. As the return shipment from Armenia would be quite costly, they just offered me to keep the defective and shipped another one, new and fully functional. What a great example of an awsome customer care and support!

I bought an item from Thomann but decided I wanted to cancel the order. I sent them an email 10 minutes after I bought the item asking them to cancel it. 2 days later they tell me that I can't cancel because the order was sent already! These people don't know what they are doing and can't even check their email in a timely manner. DO NOT waste your time with this company. Look for someone who is more professional and knows how to treat you and the product you buy with respect!

I bought a brand new drum kit from Thomann, which arrived within the estimated timeframe. Upon inspection however, the drum kit was damaged, and I contacted Thomann to report it. The returns policy quoted in response is clearly designed to deter customers from returning faulty goods. I was asked to take the drum kit (which I explained would not fit into my car) to a drop-off point, after which I was told shipping would take 15 working days. Only after the item is inspected will Thomann even consider shipping a replacement. I explained that this was not acceptable, as I needed a drum kit for use very soon. Despite my request, Thomann are not prepared to ship a replacement as quickly as they were able to ship the drum kit when I first bought it, or arrange for collection of the damaged drum kit. I therefore have had a damaged drum kit that I have not been able to use, sat in its original packaging, for two weeks. Evidently, Thomann are happy to take your money, but treat you as an inconvenience once they have it. I have used Thomann in the past, and have otherwise had a positive experience, but I will never be using Thomann again.

I recieved a defect guitar. Thomann would not honor their guarantee or warranty. They said they could not provide a return shipping label to the United States because it was against their import laws... Yeah, right.

Based on my experience, Thomann is deceptive in practice and application. What they claim is a far what they actually do. Very unethical.

My advice, avaoid at all costs.

A happy customer since 2007!
Great store with so many options of so many different brands.
Also great customer support! There was only a couple of times throughout the years that sth went wrong with products I bought from them and they did everything to help me and they solved the problems free of charge.

Unable to process US debit cards. Ordering process is confusing - after payment your order just goes into a black hole where the website does not know it exists, you get an email that a human (really, in 2022?) will process it eventually but that email does not include what items you actually purchased, if a payment method doesn't work your order is just canceled and you are told to do it again from memory, which I guess would be fine if you are trying to order one thing, but if you are ordering tens of things can waste hours of your time to recreate.

When I received the product, I realized that they sent me a damaged product. I contacted immediately. Days passed, no answer. Then they asked for a photo, I sent it. Again no answer. I write, I ask, I want to get information, but no one is interested. Don't you have an exchange or return program? I want what is my legal right. You have sent a problem product. I'm sure it's not the first time you've done this. What procedure do you apply in these cases? It shouldn't be this hard. You haven't been able to send even a simple email for days. I can't hear from you. You sent a damaged product and also confiscated my money. This is your crime. You don't care about the customer. Be respectful of the law. I am being punished for your mistake. Are you going to solve the problem by acting like nothing happened?

I received top class, excellent service from my initial email enquiry all the way through ordering and delivery to Greece. I highly recommend Thomann and will definitely be ordering from the again in the future.
