Exemplary service

I ordered the wrong bass string and emailed The Sound Post to ask for replacement. Even though their shop was close, I got an immediate reply and they switched it for me without any problem at all.

Poor customer service

Order placed for first class delivery. Items did not arrive five days later and the response of the sound post was “you need to wait two weeks”. There was no option to cancel or for the sound post to send replacement goods without us incurring another full set of charges.
