I will call them and ask for refund [/quote] What are you going to say? "Please give me my money back because I expected the delivery sooner?" Not sure you'll get a refund until you get the bass and process it as a return. As far as I recall delivery timeframes are merely an indication, that's why they provide very detailed tracking information. I can understand if you took a day off it was scheduled as out for delivery, but other than that, I think you're just impatient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncle psychosis Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 [quote name='afterimage' timestamp='1436346030' post='2817230'] Hi guys when I ordered the bass it said 4 days to deliver so I took the day off assuming the extra 24hr delay for update which put it six days assumed it would be on its way out by then if trucks have been broken into I expect it will be damaged no sign off it well pissed off if you read shipping it says four days to UK [/quote]This page: [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/helpdesk_shipping.html"]http://www.thomann.de/gb/helpdesk_shipping.html[/url] makes it clear that [b]average[/b] delivery time to the UK is 3-4 days and that oversized parcels (e.g bass guitars) [b]can take longer[/b]. Honestly, it sucks that you have to wait for your bass but unilaterally taking a day off to wait for a parcel without specific confirmation that it was definitely going to be delivered on that date is more than a bit silly.

afterimage Posted July 8, 2015 Author Share Posted July 8, 2015 This was a telephone order and was told 4 days it is now 9 days now as it shipped on 30 June 08:00am ordered 29 june I can understand shipping delays two days extra but was under the impression guitars where air freighted in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afterimage Posted July 8, 2015 Author Share Posted July 8, 2015 [quote name='skankdelvar' timestamp='1436325588' post='2817082'] So what if thousands of rioting migrants are jumping on lorries and setting fire to the tunnel and causing hundred-mile tailbacks and whatnot? Thomann should have anticipated something like this and invested in a fleet of standby delivery Zeppelins. Now I'm going to have to wait anything up to a few days for my pickguard screw. Disgusted.

mr zed Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Just received an email reply to my chasing the speakers I ordered on 30th June. The reply states: "Thank you for your email. I am sorry to let you know that due to the recent strike at DHL, a massive backlog was created and lots of parcels have been delayed. However, on Tuesday, the 7th of July, the strike ended and hopefully, you should receive your order by the end of this week." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funky Dunky Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 I feel the OP's pain - I'm an impatient fella when it comes to receiving bought goods. I remember when I bought my Sterling from Thomann and I was checking the tracking infor every couple of hours! Having said that, the general consensus here is correct - it's not Thomann's fault and there's no point in raging down a telephone at them, as there's absolutely nowt they can do, nor are you entitled to any compensation. Sadly, you're a victim of rotten circumstance and you'll just have to play the waiting game. I sent my Sterling back to them last Wednesday for a warranty repair - I dare say they haven't received it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodinblack Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Mine is now trackable on the parcelforce website, and says that it is received and processed at the national hub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr zed Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Well, I have received UK powerleads and covers for my PA speakers. One speaker is 'in the destination country' the other is sat in Koln :-) At least things are starting to move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M@23 Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 I ordered from them a couple of weeks back, about 1am Friday and it took that weekend to deliver. My order was in my town Monday morning. Remarkable, given that by the following Thursday it hadn't made the 10 miles from the depot to mine. Who knows what Parcelforce were up to, I went and collected it in the end.

Lozz196 Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 I got an update yesterday that they were going to deliver my item on Jul 6th - presumably it was Dr Who that was going to do that seeing as yesterday was Jul 8th! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
