Avoid Thomann. They charge for services they don't complete, with no recourse.

This company charged me €45 (£40) for a setup on a Harley Benton guitar which was never completed. The guitar arrived with a loose bridge pot which isn't working due to a loose wire. The guitar needs a tech repair. I've sent countless emails to Thomann, and they deny any wrongdoing (despite happily charging me €45 for a setup) and refuse to accept culpability. They're even preventing my account from leaving a review on their website. I'd strongly recommend avoiding Thomann and buying from an alternative seller. I would give zero stars if I could.

ID verification needed for purchase

I have purchased before from them and had zero issues. I decided to purchase a cable and got an email that my name was on some sort of restrictions and sanctions lists.

I am Bulgarian, and I am ordering from Bulgaria. So, in order for them to go through with the order, they required me to send a photo of my government-issued ID to confirm my identity. No way in hell I'll send a photo of my ID over email, just for my info to get leaked.

Not purchasing from them ever again.

Dear Николай Иванов,

We understand your concerns and your hesitation regarding identity verification.

In some cases, the details entered during an order may correspond to an entry on the EU consolidated sanctions list, which requires us to carry out additional verification. We use a secure verification process to determine whether the customer, address, or order details are a genuine match to a sanctioned person, group, or entity, or simply a false positive. This is a legal compliance requirement that applies regardless of a customer's nationality or previous order history.

We understand your concerns about sharing personal documents. If you would like to discuss your case further or have any questions about how your information is handled, please contact us directly and we will be happy to assist you.

Disrespected and Exhausted

What every buyer should know about Thomann is that it's a massive corporation and it behaves like one. It's not a champion of the customer.

Their primary objective is to make money, and you as a customer should stand your ground when that objective bulldozes your rights.

I ordered four hard cases for my guitars for 9,436 SEK. Every single case arrived with damages.

The cases were packaged without bubblewrap, with only some loose cardboard floating around in the packages as protection.

I sent images of all damages for all cases, but apparently they needed more photographs. So I created and linked them an extremely detailed documentation of the specific cases and their respective damages along with the order number. They did not use the documentation structure I provided and instead referred to the cases as ‘bag1’, ‘bag2’, and so on.

They accepted that ONE of four were damaged but "weren't 100" on the others, despite the 38 images I had taken.

They then offered me a 400 SEK discount if I just wanted to keep the cases as they were. Remember that the entire package was 9,436 SEK. So for 4 out of 4 damaged cases, I was offered what... 4% of a discount.

I don't know if they tried to pass off B-stock items as pristine for full price and just hoped I wouldn't notice or if their quality control is non-existent. Neither option is good.

When they FINALLY agreed to instruct me on how to send the packages back, they also had the audacity to tell me "We ask that you carefully follow each step in our packaging instructions to prevent any damage during return shipping. Thomann assumes no liability for damage caused by poor or inadequate packaging."

The instructions they provide require a substantial amount of bubble wrap and protective packing material. However, these return-packaging standards did not match the packaging I received from Thomann in the first place.

I do not believe customers should be expected to purchase additional packaging materials out of their own pocket in order to return products that arrived damaged. If Thomann considers extensive protective packaging necessary for safe transport, then I would expect the same standard to be applied when shipping products to customers.

After I had sent the packages back I clearly stated that I wanted a full refund, and not replacement cases.

It took 11 days of asking to actually get them to give me instructions on how to properly return the packages, and 18 days from the date I contacted Thomann about their defective cases to the date they actually paid me back the money I was owed.

TLDR;
I paid 9,436 SEK for four new cases. All four arrived damaged. I documented the damage extensively. Thomann initially disputed parts of my claim and offered a 400 SEK discount (4% of what I paid). After 18 days, I returned everything and received a refund. I was left without the cases I needed and would not buy from them again.

I did not get the cases I paid for, which were cases I needed so not only was I without almost 10,000 SEK for 3 weeks, I also couldn't transport my guitars because of the garbage that Thomann sent me.

It's exhausting dealing with Thomann. And as one of the WORLD's largest retailer of musical equipment, offering a 4% discount is an insult to your customer.

I'll never buy from Thomann again, and neither should anyone. Buy from your local store or from a different online store with better service and care.

Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We're sorry to hear that your order did not meet your expectations.

We'd like to clarify that we do not intentionally ship damaged products or B-stock as new. While we package our items with care, damage can unfortunately occur during transit. If this happens, we work with our customers to find the most appropriate solution, whether that's a replacement or a refund.

The packaging instructions provided for returns are intended to help protect the items during their journey back to us and minimize the risk of further damage in transit.

We're sorry that the process left you disappointed and appreciate your feedback.
We're here for support, please contact us at reviews@thomann.de with your order details and we'll gladly look into your case further.

Your Thomann Team.

I would given zero stars if the option were available. Awful customer service here in the UK. I've been given the back forth between thomann and DHL over my parcel which at the time of writing, has been delayed twice. Lost. Delivered to the wrong address. Then magically found and undelivered. Now has been delayed again. Thomann are doing nothing about it and I have instead had to go down the avenue of contacting citizens advice UK. If you are thinking or purchasing here in the UK think again and find whatever you're looking for anywhere else. A shoddy company that uses a shoddy delivery service. BUYER BE WHERE.

Buyer beware!!!!

Buyer beware! This company does not stand behind the products it sells. I purchased a number of 484 Lift-o-matic for the music conservatory that I were I am employed. One of the benches began to malfunction and the customer service representative, began with a boilerplate email. As it turns out they have zero service for these benches in the United States. They recommend I find my own provider to get an estimate for repair. The issue was is because the bench has a weight limit of 30kg (66lbs) which is not in any of the literature. I am not sure why this is advertised as

"Excellently suited for use in music schools"

"Suitable for children and adults"

They do not honor the "3-year warranty"

Dear Mr. Diehl,

Thank you for your feedback.

We're very sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your recent experience.

We would like to clarify that we do stand behind our products and honour our 3-Year Repair Warranty.

In certain cases, particularly where international return shipping and repair lead times may be lengthy, we may ask customers to obtain a local repair quotation for review by our technical team. If no approved repair partner is available locally, a quote can be obtained from a repair provider of the customer's choice.

If approved, we can authorise the repair as a faster alternative to returning the equipment under warranty. If this is not possible, we can arrange for the equipment to be returned for repair under our 3-Year Repair Warranty.

We're sorry that this process did not meet your expectations, and we'd welcome the opportunity to review the handling of your case in more detail. Please contact us at reviews@thomann.de and we will be happy to investigate further.

Kind regards,
Your Thomann Team

They refuse to bring heavy goods upstairs

I ordered a few items and the service in the last couple of years was always very good. However I just ordered a piano and they refused it to bring it upstairs and left it on the curb. There is no option to pay more and get it delivered to your flat. There is a message buried in the small print but that is just to avoid litigation, it doesn't help in the least. Disappointing and utterly ridiculous.

Hello,

Thank you for your feedback. We're pleased to hear that you've had good experiences with us over the past few years, which makes it all the more disappointing that this delivery did not meet your expectations.

For larger items such as pianos, orders are shipped by land and deliveries are curbside. When an order requiring this service is placed, we send an email explaining exactly how the delivery will be handled, so customers know what to expect before dispatch and can make an informed decision.

We're sorry that this wasn't the experience you were hoping for, and we understand that receiving such a large item at the curb can be frustrating.

We appreciate you sharing your thoughts, and we hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a smoother experience in the future.
