Online Shopping
I shopped online from this company to buy an exam book for my daughter who plays the violin at grade 8 level When the book arrived we realised the violin part was missing in the book I sent an e-mail to their customer service but received no answer Later following me sending them a WhatsApp message a lady rang me and told me they checked all the books in the shop but none of them had a violin part --- By the way on the book cover it says for violin and piano --- We wanted to see this for ourselves so we took the fourty-five minute long journey to Waltons Blanchardstown shop The shop assistant understood us immediately He told us we were right and he would change the book However he couldn t find another copy so he said he couldn t refund the money but he could give us a gift card We said we didn t need a gift card we shopped for an exam book not for anything else He told us there was no other option so we had to accept the gift card After this I WhatsApped the customer service again asking for my money back but no one texted me back ----- I bought a book which was delivered to me with a missing part My daughter s exam was delayed because of this I shopped for a book but now I have a gift card I want my money back but no-one is replying to me I went to Blanchardstown from far away which takes time and I spent money to solve the problem but I couldn t I shopped online and I m having to chase Waltons for a problem they caused I don t recommend anyone this shop

Two online orders over 6 months - two complete fails
Two online orders over 6 months the first item had not been in stock for years but is STILL advertised as being stocked to this day Second order was shown as being in stock but after 5 days I get a text to say sorry that was the last one and it s broken I m getting a refund but for a company that has a rep for being a great shop their online store is a joke 1000 never shopping there again

Avoid this Vendor
Since May 2024 I have emailed called and submitted via their website a return request over 4 times using each method I inquired about information to return a Bodhran case that was the wrong size I have not heard from back from Waltons The phone number from the website is forever busy This is horrible customer service and I do not encourage anyone to use this vendor in case your run into a problem with your order and need to get a response from Walton s

Lacking in quality and thought
Bought an intermediate 3 4 violin for a child learning to play Basic item Seemed fine Took it to class later the violin is really terrible quality bridge too high tension too high the strings are terrible quality it s really hard for a child to play Bought the equivalent line from Thomann Perfect Q why even sell a child s violin that is too tough on little fingers Did you not test it for purpose You re happy selling really bad quality stock

I m not the kind of guy to write a review but I feel I have to I drove all the way from Waterford today to buy a guitar with all i can say is the customer service was the worst I ve ever seen wasn t once approached by staff I eventually asked they guy had no more interest in helping me second guy approached looked like he was hung over from last night which is not the customers fault I known waltons has great name but if they keep the staff they have they won t have a business i came out of the shop rageing after driving for 2 half hours to get there I ll never return not hope looks fantastic when you walk in I was all excited but that quickly left my body I went home spend 2k on line for my dream guitar

Bought a guitar pedal as a present
Bought a guitar pedal as a present Almost a full week goes by and not one email confirming the delivery or tracking number When I sent an email to support asking for an update they tell me it s out of stock Took almost a full week just to tell me it s out of stock and they ll refund me No wonder Irish music shops are closing all around the country because they re absolutely useless Shop at thomann or Gear4music instead checked their website again 2 weeks after this happening and they still have the out of stock item for sale on it

Honestly from a drummers perspective it has absolutely nothing in the shop Needed a hi hat clutch and a pair of sticks They had about 7 pairs of sticks in the shop all the same size and they didn t have a hi hat clutch Other times I ve been in the shop looking for XLR cables and they had none left apparently Absolute joke of a shop
