Dov65 Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Right, 2 weeks ago i ordered a Jazz Pro (that was on the Monday) delivered on Tuesday and noticed a ding, scratches and a gnarled up T/R access hole on scratchplate, sent photos and gave them a bell to get it uplifted and a new one sent out which would take 2 - 3 days so should have been here at the latest on Wednesday this week..but didn't..sent a query email which was unanswered then phoned them up told bass would arrive Saturday which it did..its a 2016 model strings are dead and the best bit is the serial number authenticity certificate don't match serial number on bass !!! I checked online & it's for a black Jazz where mine is white. The dude on the phone said he had checked it 3 times 3 fekin times & still got it wrong. Obviously i'll be on the phone Monday or Tuesday dunno if there shut with it being a bank holiday. First and defiantly the last shower o dung 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Browning Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Disappointing. I tend to judge a business more on how it performs when things go wrong than when they go as planned. Hope you get the outcome you want. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burns-bass Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Sorry to hear this. I’ve never received such poor Service and hope it’s sorted for you. Nobody deserves that when you’re spending over a grand! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jezzaboy Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 You gave them 2 chances and they bolloxed it up. Return the second bass and spend your hard earned elsewhere. And name and shame them! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggaebass Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 After sales is important for me, if a company is quick to take my money they should be quick to rectify any problems, or they wouldn’t get my custom again. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dov65 Posted August 30, 2020 Author Share Posted August 30, 2020 Well for the most unforgettable shopping experience try PMT and not in a good way, maybe i was just unlucky the 1st time but after being told they had checked the replacement 3 times you'd think it would be fine.

Dov65 Posted August 30, 2020 Author Share Posted August 30, 2020 Never had this fiasco before so should i be looking at returning the Jazz again ? Or get PayPal involved i dunno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 I wouldn’t want an instrument where the serial number doesn’t tally up with the colour coding as moving it on if necessary may be more difficult as a result. It looks to me that PMT should sort this properly but their on-line operation does seem to be a little unorganised. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps it’s the individual rather than the business. I hope it gets sorted for you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggaebass Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 I had quite a big problem with them once with one of my jazzes, and I wasn’t really getting anywhere with the store manager, so I contacted their customer service department, and a few days later the store manager called me and sorted it out straight away, I think it’s worth doing Dov, 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worked out ok in the end but I was pretty unhappy about it for most of that time, no / poor contact, everything took too long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimonEdward Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Slight tangent. Increasingly, there's been signs of pre-Brexit activity with some on-line suppliers. On more than one occassion this year, I've been led to believe that I was ordering gear from a supplier and distributor (with a UK address). Only to experience fairly significant delays in shipping - from Europe. The first, turned out to be shipping from Holland, and the other from Poland. Unless you can establish they have what you require IN STOCK (or a prepared to wait, with all the anxiety that entails), then buyer beware!! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, that is how a large number of companies that sell basses here work (certainly bax, dv247 etc), they are european companies with a british branch. It wasn't a problem as you could just ship them quickly. I am sure all of those places aren't hiding anything from you, its just what they do as until the end of the year, we can buy things from whereever without additional problems. Obviously post brexit we will solve that, its no longer going to be viable to get stuff shipped! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still waiting on an Eden WTP600 that I ordered back in March from our local Musicroom. Covid lockdown obviously didn't help, but when the shop reopened, they contacted me to say there were delays right along the supply chain and did I want to cancel? I said no, but I'm still waiting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, DVT247 advertise as a UK company, indicated items in stock in UK stores, but when you order you are all too often informed that the gear is actually out of stock in the warehouse in Germany where all web orders ship from. As the result of this you might have to wait weeks/months for the item to be back in stock in Germany, even if it is in stock in the London shop about 20 miles away from where you live (but from where you cannot order it online). DV247 will never have any of my cash again 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodinblack Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 (edited) My main problems when dealing with bax was not the European leg of the journey, it was actually the bit that involved Hermes, who lost my bass, but then it got strangely found two months later. Actually, no, it was lack of contact Edited August 31, 2020 by Woodinblack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
