Musique Shop Omdömen 

4 years later, a court judgment in my favour — and still no payment

I want to share my experience with Musique Shop because this situation has now dragged on for years and has eventually forced me to pursue legal enforcement in France.

The dispute dates back to October 2022. After the original problem, I repeatedly tried to resolve the matter directly with Musique Shop and recover the money owed to me.

When this did not lead to a solution, I eventually had no choice but to take legal action.

Court proceedings
I brought the matter before the French court.

Judgment in my favour
The court ruled in my favour and ordered Musique Shop to pay me the amount owed.

Despite the court judgment, Musique Shop did not pay voluntarily.

May 2026 — Enforcement begins
I therefore appointed a French Commissaire de Justice (bailiff) to enforce the judgment. This meant further costs on top of the money and time I had already spent pursuing the case.

June/July 2026 — Formal enforcement procedures
The necessary formalities and notifications were carried out and the bailiff performed a FICOBA search to identify Musique Shop's bank accounts.

10 August 2026 — Attempted bank seizure
The bailiff attempted a saisie-attribution against the only bank identified through FICOBA.

The seizure was unsuccessful. According to the bailiff, the bank reported that Musique Shop no longer had an account there, presumably because the account had been closed.

August 2026 — Still unpaid
I have now been told that the next possible enforcement step is to attempt to seize physical assets at the company's premises. To do that, I would have to advance another **€600**, with no guarantee that sufficient assets will be found or that I will recover my money.

So, after years of trying to resolve this, obtaining a court judgment in my favour, hiring a bailiff and paying additional enforcement costs, I am still waiting to be paid.

I am deliberately keeping this review to facts that I can document. I have the court judgment as well as the correspondence and enforcement documents from the Commissaire de Justice.

I would strongly advise anyone considering doing business with Musique Shop to take my experience into account. I never imagined that recovering this money would require years of effort, a court judgment and enforcement proceedings — and that even after all of that I would still be unpaid.

I bought a Laney LFR-212 guitar cabinet from Musique Shop due to their excellent pricing. The cabinet was 5% cheaper than other large online music stores and no shipping costs. I received the product 9 days after purchasing it in a good state. However, I did not receive shipping updates via the Shop app and it was difficult to reach them via phone or e-mail. Although they did respond via Paypal, their communication was quite blunt.

j'ai achété pour mon fils une Casio AP-270 BK Celviano qui a été payé et non livré. Ce site est une arnaque à dénoncer aux gendarmes

I made the biggest mistake by ordering a guitar worth €1,248.30 on June 4th 2025. After confirming they had received my bank transfer, the company completely disappeared. They stopped responding to emails and never answered phone calls again. Today, 13th September, I still don’t have any news from them. This behavior is completely unacceptable.

I have now opened a legal case against them and reported the situation to the European Consumer Centre (ECC).
Please be very careful with this shop.

Based on my experience, I strongly advise others to avoid them.

FRAUDULENT SHOP

Guitar strings ordered 06/07/2024 and paid for. I have the receipts. Also created an account on their website.

The strings never arrived and I spent 6 months trying to contact customer service in multiple languages and *never* got a reply. They also deleted the account I created.

Do not buy from this shop, you *will* lose your money.

Warning: Do NOT order from Musique Shop.
I paid for a product that was never delivered. Customer service does not respond, and many others report the same issue. Musique Shop takes your money and disappears. Avoid this website at all costs!

Other affected consumers: please report it to ECC (European Consumer Centre) and ACM ConsuWijzer (Netherlands). This way, we can combine our complaints.

Avoid this company!

They promised me a refund of a cancelled item weeks ago, and that was after chasing them to cancel my order for weeks. Very poor customer service and zero trust that they will act, I will be bringing the police into play.

Avoid this company!

I ordered an Allen & Heath xone 96 (1800 euro) on the 17th of November 2024 and I still didn't receive the product, and didn't get a response on my phone calls and e-mails. I also moved to a new place, so my adres is not even right anymore. Order number: 9000002945

I reported this case to the police and to my bank. We are looking for more people who wanna report Musique Shop to the police. Together, we can get our money back through a legal advisor. Perhaps, they can make the store close!

pls get in touch with me to do this together.

Salut mon chef

tu m'a toujours remboursé ma commande 000031239 ?
bah tu va avoir une petite visite des cousins de Strasbourg la famille Santiago, tu va voir ils vont réaménager ta boutique , ca va être sympa mon chef

J’ai passé une commande sur Musique-Shop.nl le 28 décembre 2024 pour un produit indiqué comme "disponible immédiatement". Après validation le 2 janvier 2025, je n’ai reçu aucune confirmation d’expédition.

J’ai contacté le service client à plusieurs reprises. Finalement, le 24 janvier, j’ai annulé ma commande et demandé un remboursement. On m’a répondu que ma demande avait été transmise au service comptabilité, mais à ce jour, je n’ai reçu ni remboursement, ni preuve de traitement, ni retour.

Je me suis déplacé en magasin, où l’on m’a fourni une adresse e-mail invalide pour la comptabilité. Malgré mes rappels et relances, je reste sans réponse ni solution concrète.

(Review written for musique-shop.fr but has been moved to musique-shop.nl . Same company!)

Ho pagato per l'ordine n. 6000007281 del 17 maggio e sono spariti. Non rispondono ai ticket e al telefono. Mi sono accorto in ritardo delle pessime recensioni. Evitate di comprare da loro.

Een bedrijf dat totaal niet communiceert.
Op 20 februari een bestelling gedaan (en betaald). Nu is deze LP conga al een tijd nergens leverbaar en wordt overal de datum van leverbaar continu verschoven, maar op geen enkele wijze wordt hier verder over gecommuniceerd. Ook op een door mij gezonden mail (22 april) wordt totaal niet gereageerd, dit ondanks een standaard melding op hun website dat ze binnen 7 werkdagen een reactie zullen geven. Of wordt er misschien helemaal niet gewerkt bij de Musique Shop??

Délai de livraison OK, matériel correspondant à ma commande, même un petit goudies en plus
Ras quoi !
En vrai, au vu des commentaires, je m'inquiétais mais tt c'est bien passé !

Oplichters: wel feedback op je betaling, daarna niet telefonisch bereikbaar, geen reactie op mail (ticket)

They don’t deliver at all. Customer service doesn’t reply. The website should be closed.

Awful, scammers and thieves. It is painfully obvious if you made the mistake to order though these degenerates that the only way to get what you want is through an EU small claims procedure (if you ordered through another EU country), and sacrifice a whole lot of your personal time. An absolutely draining experience.

Never contact this site. It's a scam. I already wrote a review on their main site, now I need to do it on the Dutch one, because I ordered a guitar for 699 euros here, in Amsterdam. A company of scammers. After numerous ignored calls and messages, I filed a complaint with
1. Statement to the police
2. Statement to Fraudehelpdesk
3. Statement to Europese Consumenten Centrum
4. Contacting a law firm - eccnederland.nl

I am a French customer, and following my unfortunate experience on the French version of the Musique Shop website, I feel it’s important to share my case with you now that the company is expanding into the Dutch market.

Order #000026679 – November 8, 2024 – €336
Item never delivered.
A fake refund (ref. #000000969) was listed on my customer account but was never credited to my bank account.
The refund was ultimately issued by my bank, at its own expense, after I submitted a formal complaint and provided supporting documents.
Musique Shop took no responsibility. Not even an explanation.

A well-oiled method?
• A “special order” with a ghost delivery delay of 24 months, only disclosed via a discreet pop-up — just long enough to let the legal chargeback period expire.
• Terms & Conditions promise a response within 7 days: I received nothing after more than 120 days.
• Mediation attempt via CM2C: refused.
• Complaint to French consumer authorities (DGCCRF): ignored.
• Registered letter demanding action: no response.
• Support ticket opened on 11/30/2024: no follow-up.
• Registered letter requesting refund details: ignored.

All that… for a set of pickups. Not a car. Not a house. A set of pickups.

Administrative oddities:
• Three different SIRET numbers across their site and official filings.
• A parent company registered under a “holding” structure with no public financial records.
• A shiny website redesign… but still no refund.

Everything is vague. Everything is doubled. Everything is locked tight.

Reputation? Deserved:
• The company was flagged twice in the French consumer TV show “Ça peut vous arriver” (April 2024), where individuals now suddenly worried about their privacy were named publicly.
• Numerous similar reviews across platforms: undelivered orders, ghost refunds, total silence.
• Last-minute phone calls with no proof, using vague terms like “accounting department got back to us,” curiously timed right after I posted my public review.

Conclusion:
At Musique Shop, delivered customers are miracles. Refunded ones are legends.
And negative reviews? It’s easier to try having them deleted than to answer them honestly.

I defame no one.
I simply report what happened to me — and I have the documents to prove it.
My bank didn’t reimburse me out of kindness.
It did so because Musique Shop tried to make me believe I had already been reimbursed.

Musique Shop even responded to my French Trustpilot review (April 2, 2025), claiming I had used an “expired card” for the refund — which is factually false. The order was placed and debited in early November 2024, and the card was perfectly valid at that time.
No failed refund notification was ever sent to me by email, phone, or via my customer account.
I even sent a registered letter requesting transaction details — it was ignored.

They claim they tried to contact me several times: yet I received no call, no voicemail until April 1, 2025, at 6:59 PM — nearly five months after the order.
The message asked me to write to “luc@…” — which I did, on April 2 at 7:35 AM.
Still no reply.

I’ve received more signs of life from Musique Shop in two days than in the five months prior.
This sudden burst of communication shows that their silence wasn’t random — it was deliberate and strategic: a way to dodge responsibility, sidestep legal obligations, and respond only when exposed publicly — even turning things around to blame the customer, as they attempted in their french public reply.

The fact remains:
These shadowy merchants are still holding €336 of my money and refuse to return it.
They can reject all insinuations they like — but honesty is not the first word that comes to mind.
I thank them for having, themselves, put words to their own actions.

Avoid at all costs. Unless you enjoy a scavenger hunt — their “About Us” page is a good place to start.
You’ve been warned.

Don't Touch With A Perche De Barge!
Warning! This Company Breaches Contracts!
This company is domiciled in France.
Don't touch with a perche de barge!

Having established the currency risk before placing my order - I was reassured that there would be no extra charges - or 'No Surprises' (Aucune surprise!).

So if you don't have time to read this fully - don't trust Musique Shop and seek out the better European music shop, for example, in Germany! (Because they know what they are doing when it comes to 'export'!)

Having been assured that there would be no further charges - they were surprised - as I was - because I got a £15.50 transaction charge - because unlike Thomann - they submitted the invoice in Euros (Other European companies use the Treasury facility of their own banks and submit it in, for the UK in GBP).

Even though they promised to refund the charge - I've waited too long - so the review gets it! (And they specifically asked for a review in exchange for a credit!! - Dodgy!) .. So I'm happy to oblige.

Read the other reviews too - if you are thinking of ignoring my 'lesson learnt' - and you'll see a lot of unhappy reviews. And they are trés snail!

So don't order anything from the UK! And if you ever have to communicate with them you have to 'raise a ticket' - on a dodgy entry window. This has a habit of disappearing - it seems to operate like the old DOS system! Archaic and time consuming.

Don't touch with a barge pole!

**********************************************
En Francé:
Attention ! Cette entreprise viole les contrats verbaux !
Cette entreprise est domiciliée en France.
À éviter !

Ayant pris connaissance du risque de change avant de passer commande, j'ai été rassuré : pas de frais supplémentaires, ni de « surprises » (Aucune surprise !).

Si vous n'avez pas le temps de lire ceci en entier, ne faites pas confiance à Musique Shop et privilégiez Les autre German boutique, un magasin de musique européen plus performant ! (Parce qu'ils maîtrisent l'exportation!)

Ayant été assurés qu'il n'y aurait pas de frais supplémentaires, ils ont été surpris, tout comme moi, de recevoir des frais de transaction de 15,50 £. Contrairement à Thomann, ils ont établi la facture en euros (d'autres entreprises européennes utilisent le système de trésorerie de leurs propres banques et l'établissent, pour le Royaume-Uni, en livres sterling).

Malgré leur promesse de remboursement, j'ai attendu trop longtemps, donc l'avis est valable ! (Et ils ont spécifiquement demandé un avis en échange d'un avoir ! – Louche !) Je suis donc ravi de vous aider.

Lisez aussi les autres avis – si vous envisagez d'ignorer ma « leçon apprise » – et vous verrez beaucoup d'avis négatifs. Et ils sont vraiment véreux !

Alors ne commandez rien du Royaume-Uni ! Et si jamais vous devez communiquer avec eux, vous devrez créer un ticket – sur une fenêtre d'entrée douteuse. Ce système a tendance à disparaître – il semble fonctionner comme l'ancien système DOS ! Archaïque et chronophage.

Ne touchez pas à barge pole!
