Guitar never dispatched

I confirmed my order for the guitar I received an email telling me it would be about 10 days & I would receive an email once dispatched. That email never came I contacted through the customer service email. I was ignored. I tried to phone nobody picked the phone up in business hours in the end I phoned a store to see if the company was still trading.
The store was extremely helpful & said they would leave a message for online customer service to contact me & they did, to tell me the guitar wasn't in stock, but it was clearly in stock when ordered. I think Dawson's really need to review how they do business online. My experience isn't an isolated incident I wouldn't have the confidence to order from them again.

Shocking customer service

Shocking customer service. Ordered a very expensive guitar case for my sons 30th birthday. I waited over a week then rang. They assured me it would be delivered within a few days. A week later I called again. It’s out of stock they told me. We’ll refund your money in 10 days.

Most disappointed

Most disappointed, I have ordered a violin on the website in June 24, and today is 5 August and still haven't received it. Called customer service twice and they have no idea when the violin arrives.

Didn't send everything

Didn't send everything, admitted to not sending everything and basically said 'what are you going to do about it' and stole 30 pound.
text book definition of 'big chain store bad guys'.
Shop local and independent, I did after and it was a lot nicer.

Placed my order 1 month ago

Placed my order 1 month ago. Was advised 7 to 10 days delivery.

Currently I have had to switch two of my items because of stock issues. I'm still awaiting my guitar to arrive.

I was very pleased with Dawsons on all fronts

I was very pleased with both the quality of the service (including communication) and the quality of the instrument purchased from Dawsons Music & Sounds. The instrument arrived carefully packaged and in top condition ; I was somewhat surprised to find that it was even in tune! I should also mention the very competitive price (well over £100 less than that quoted by my nearest musical instrument dealer).

After ordering the karaoke machine I was emailed a few days later to say only a display piece was available . After accepting this , when it arrived the power cable was missing. I have informed them and am still waiting for an update 3 weeks later .

Fair price

Fair price, decent delivery time and kept me informed. The sticks I play seem difficult to find so thanks Dawson's for stocking

The worst experience I have ever had with a company . Had to fight to get a refund for my order which they did not have in stock. Endless amounts of phone calls with staff who were absolutely useless and lied every time about why my refund was not being processed ! Will never order from this company again .
