Previously I had never had much problems with this company. But very recently had two faulty amps from different makes and models sent to me via their warehouse. The items that Andertons have sent me also look like the amps had been returned to Andertons by other customers as one of amp had clearly been repackaged and has a bit of green masking type tape on the opened manual package and the power plug package on one of the amps. This is the second faulty amp item I have received recently from their warehouse. If you do order from this company, make sure you check the item is fully ok and working.

Very deceitful Website showing stock but They don’t actually have any when you place order and pay. I phoned up to enquire about my order only to be told it will be a month before I get it from the order date. Staff very rude not professional. I’ve googled the reviews only to find many people seem to be experiencing the same as me , ordering from the site saying in stock only to be told after payment they are out of stock. Steer clear

Hopeless, hopeless shop. Sell you something off the website on line, debit your credit card, take 3 days to tell you they don't actually have it, then take a week or more to give you your money back. Great scam if you can get away with it, but disgusting business practice and customer "service". Never again.

We have placed the order of Ibenaz electric guitar from Andertons music Co. on 27th Feb morning and by afternoon we received call that they have left only display piece, as all fresh new one sold out and could take a week to get new one. They asked us do you want that. We refused to take the display piece as we paid for new guitar and agreed to wait . With-in an hour we received message that our guitar is being dispatched. Received delivery on 28th Feb. On 29th of Feb we have complained that the guitar they have delivered us, got defect in volume knobs as it was not fitted properly and more likely they have sent us the display piece as they told us they didn’t have any new piece left . Send a video of guitar by email. There was no response, so called up and they said they will look into it. They send a mail that the video is not clear so send pictures. So send lots of pics from different angles that shows clearly the fault but first they didn’t agree and start arguing. I am really surprised that I have paid £259 for new guitar and I got response that we can see the problem but there is an “Allen key” given, please do it yourself. I paid for the new guitar and when you can see the problem ,instead of replacing it with new one you are telling customer to do it yourself as you got your money and you don’t care. They have send me the faulty display guitar and I will strongly warn everyone not to purchase any stuff from this company who don’t take the responsibility of the product they are selling. I will never order or recommend this supplier to anyone. Please Beware of Andertons Music Co.

I too have had problems with them despite them being a big name in UK retailing and with a very successful Youtube Channel. One amp they tried to send me wasn't new as described but B stock and it was pretty badly damaged which wasn't mentioned on their website. When I recieved the pics of the damage 2 days later by email(after I had already paid for the amp) I called to cancel immediately and that was a hassle, staff were unfriendly and lacked any empathy or personality. Guy said to me it was definitely mentioned it was B stock but said there should have been damage pics on the website. I took a screen shot of the amp and description when I ordered as I always do and said to him he was wrong, there was no mention of the damage anywhere, I then said I could email him the screen shot but he kept saying I was wrong and it did mention it but then went on to contradict himself by saying he couldn't get a hold of the amp and description as it wasn't in stock anymore and that was the last one. We went back and forward for 5 mins with him basically saying I was lying. He then said sarcastically of course there is damage what do you expect for the sale price. Then they mucked up my address twice in a row and that meant I didn't get the items I ordered, I did eventually on the 3rd attempt after a 2 week delay from initial order. That was my fault apparently for not inserting my address on their website apparently, even though I showed another staff member it was correct on their website. The problem was theirs and their actual printed label was wrong. Then the guy switched to it was the couriers fault, it wasn't as I called the courier when my order was a no show and they read my address back to me and it was missing my flat number, so Andertons fault but they would never admit it. Every time I call this company I get the same we blame everyone but ourselves routine and unfriendly, unhelpful, cold handed and very bad customer service. They need to get rid of a few staff that have an attitude problem. To be fair the one and only order out of 4 I have did with them that was problem free was the last one, but even in that order I called them to make sure they had sorted my address out properly this time and the same guy I recognised from the last time I spoke to them cut me off mid sentence and was just rude. I have worked quite a lot in customer service and I know the standards required and this lot fall way beneath the standard required not to mention trying to fob off goods that are not as advertised and other basic mistakes you wouldn't expect from such a well known company.

Ordering from outside of England? Think hard.. Think twice. Shipping delays and hassles. Unexpected and unaddressed import fees (your item held up till courier is paid).... and returns? Ugh. Took me a month to get my money back... and shipping to and back not covered. Big mistake (I live in the US). Think twice. For me? NEVER again. Zero stars.

Re: order no. 124779150985 Right, is this some kind of a joke?? Yesterday our dad placed this order and it's taken you till the end of today to tell him you have issues with my payment when your site accepted my order!!! There are no issues with his account and he has made a few purchases since ordering with you. Now your phone line is closed. Seriously, I've never experienced such tosh. Just cancel the whole order and we'll take our business somewhere else!!! You've delayed this because you are inept. You don't deserve our time or money. Waste of time... totally inept, Andertons never even had the courtesy to ring my dad, just sending everything through emails, we want to speak with a human being!! Their loss anyhow, they lost a sale through their inept management. This order was for a gift to my brother for his 18th. Bad show.
