High ability to deliver and the widest possible selection of products

So that you can be optimally supplied by us depends on our ability to deliver. No matter how large the online shop, if the listed instruments and technical components are not available on command, that is of little help to you. We are fully aware of that. And so we regularly offer you the widest possible selection with our range of over 100,000 products from trendy to necessary as well as special items. Every music enthusiast will find what they are looking for here, from beginners to amateur musicians to professionals.

Need advice? Just call!

Our experts in the respective departments keep their eyes and ears open at all times so that they can answer your questions regarding the latest trends and new developments. Don’t forget that our colleagues in the shop departments and on the hotline will advise you competently and with great attention to detail. The focus is exclusively on the perfect solution for you. Just get in touch if you need to.

Prepared for future challenges

It goes without saying that the immense demand must also be able to be met logistically. Especially since our existing shipping warehouse was reaching its limits in view of the millions of customers, we had a new logistics center built in 2017, which not only forms the heart of our shipping and warehouse processing, but was also networked with the already-existing system without any problems during ongoing operations. The next high-bay warehouse is currently under construction, which will also have space for 35,000 Euro-pallets.

Time saved for your satisfaction

Currently, up to 35,000 parcels are sent out into the world from Treppendorf every day. In order to be able to master these challenges flawlessly in your interest, we made a large investment for the new building, including robotics and software. The result: The average throughput time was reduced from the already considerable 28 minutes to just 20 minutes from order entry to order picking. More than 560 employees currently work in our logistics and shipping department. We are still looking for backup for our colleagues.

Trustworthy facts of innovative logistics

Music is pure emotion and a language that connects the world. And we want to inspire and excite you, also, with the idea that musicians from beginners to professionals are one big family. Allow us to give you a few bare facts so that you can get an idea of ​​the magnitude of our logistics in action for our community with more than 12 million customers worldwide:

Thomann’s shipping in figures

Music is our passion: You can try everything on site

The hands-on, human component must not be left behind, even in the age of online trading. After all, you as a musician enter into a very personal relationship with your instruments. Even if the vast majority of products are shipped: “You have to be able to touch everything,” says our boss Hans Thomann, and we couldn’t agree more! Everything you see and hear in our online shop can be tested on site in Treppendorf. The exhibition is huge and what is not on display can be taken from the warehouse for you on request.

You are always welcome!

We look forward to welcoming you online or in person on site in Treppendorf. Here are directions if you wish to come visit us! We hope that our sightseeing flight showed you our constant desire to improve our service for you. See you soon!
