Funky Dunky Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 (edited) I made my purchase on the 8th and have received no such emailery as yet. Mayhap I have been hoodwinked. Edited September 12, 2016 by Funky Dunky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 I have received my confirmation email. I am confident that an unsolicited clip-on furry animal tail (with realistic swishing action) will be arriving forthwith. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

discreet Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 I got a mail on the 8th too, telling me my tuner has been shipped. Tuner in the singular, even though I ordered three... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funky Dunky Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 I ordered two, at separate times. No emails from Reverb yet but I've had confirmation from PayPal that my orders were processed. I logged into my Reverb account, and, reassuringly, there are two separate transactions, both in My Orders, and both are showing as being In Transit along with a DHL tracking number for each - but, in typical DHL form (like my last bass from Thomann) these numbers appear not to be recognised by the DHL tracker. I hate DHL more than you. I hate DHL more than anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funky Dunky Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 (edited) I also have Feedback from Reverb (Feedback? Reverb? Ho ho! Musician jokes aplenty!) for both orders, saying what a jolly good boy am I for paying immediately. They also asked if I would kindly leave them feedback. Oh no ye don't - you'll get hee-haw feedback until I receive my two tuners, laddie! Edited September 13, 2016 by Funky Dunky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chienmortbb Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1473687061' post='3132243'] I'm in the hole for six quid! The stakeholders will be furious! [/quote]I amor could be jealous. Just paid £10 for a Guitarman. It is accurate for four string, according to both my pedal tuner and the Peterson Strobe Tuner on the phone. Sorely tempted to try one of these though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivansc Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 This is beginniong to look like one of those "Its only a pound" (but you never receive the goods) scams where if enough people buy the scammer makes off with a tidy walletful leaving the innocent punters high and dry. So - torches and pitchforks at the ready, guys? Reverb offices here we come! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
