Andertons - Safe Delivery?
Discussion
I’m about to purchase a Korg Kronos 88. I can get it locally but Andertons online have it at a £110 less and interest free credit.
Local dealer won’t price match so am thinking of buying from Andertons but am concerned about a courier taking proper care of almost £3k of keyboard.
Has anyone used them for delivery before and would you trust the courier? Am I being a little too concerned?
Cheers!

Ordered an AC30 from them a couple of years back. Arrived quickly and safely, would not hesitate to use them again (even though I find Chappers the most irritating t

I’ve only ever been in there for a mixer and studio monitors. Is he on the guitar side?
He is the one who got the ball rolling with their YouTube videos which really put them on the map. Dont think he works for them, seems a decent bloke, but hes very irritating. As for Andertons themselves, I bought a guitar from them sight unseen which was shipped to the other end of the country, no issues at all. It was quite an expensive one too, and fairly fragile headstock (Gibson) so I was a bit wary, however there were no issues at all and I'd happily use them again.
Andertons is big enough that the 1 in 100 (200? etc) chance of something getting damaged in transit is something they factor into the bottom line. Which means they are less likely to be awkward if it's damaged in transit.
For the little guitar shop selling a rare guitar (say), it's a lot trickier.
But if it turns up like my Nord,
make sure to write 'damaged' when you sign for it.
(Enjoy the Kronos - it's so deep, man!)

For the sake of saving £110 on a £3k item, I think I'd rather buy locally.
At least you'll get the after sales backup should you need it (and likely you won't need to be posting it off for repair etc.).
And as an added bonus, you'll be helping a local business to survive (because that's likely where you tried it in the first place?).

As it turns out, Andertons only have one in stock and it’s a display model. They don’t know when they’ll get more stock until they contact Korg directly so it looks like I’m buying locally At least you'll get the after sales backup should you need it (and likely you won't need to be posting it off for repair etc.).
