Long ago I noticed that Denmark isn't the place for the best prices on music gear. I have earlier bought stuff from thomann.de and turnkey.co.uk
I have only good things to say about the service at Thomann, however their prices are not always competitive enough with the easyness of visiting a local store. TurnKey are sometimes better on the price, probably due to the current low currency of the UK £ compared to the DKK. However I experienced some annoying problems with the shipping company last times I ordered there. Besides that Im also annoyed by the poor information on their website regarding the whole buying and shipping process. The shoppingcart is even controlled by some google sh*t.
Im looking for some alternatives, but are there any good ones?

Music Store Köln (musicstore.com) is a big one, with a very large selection of products, although Thomann is often cheaper, and has better service, from my experience. :)

Yes I think it's hard to find something that really beats Thomann, but thanks for the help anyway. I'll check it out.

Turnkey did go into administration and was taken over by another company about a year ago. They still trade under the name of Turnkey.

Somehow it doesn't surprise me, eventhough I actually visited their store in London a couple of years ago, just after my bad experience with DPD. It turned out that æ and ø which appears in my adress were fucked up and replaced by dollarsigns etc.

eBay
Yeah, sounds stupid, but there are plenty of stores selling brand new material on there, with a nice warranty ;)
