    Bought an awesome Sound Bar but my TV would only connect via Blue Tooth so the sound wasnt not at its full potential. Called the Selby hotline and the guy who helped we was a bloody legend!! Who would have thought that the TV needed us to turn ON the HDMI ports!!! Super happy and highly recommend Selby, they are great!

    Vince was very accommodating and helpful. Nice showroom and good selection of quality HiFi products, including some fantastic Raidho speakers.

    What a fantastic place to shop. The service is fabulous and the delivery end up two days later. They have everything you need in electronics and I’ve been shopping with Selby’s for over 10 years.

    Bought a Yamaha music cast 50 and then emailed to ask for express post as I need it this week I did advise I will pay for the express post. Joe contacted me and advised he has sent this via express post free of charge from Melbourne to Sydney! This place is amazing and you actually feel that they genuinely care about their customers. I will be shopping here from now on! Thanks so much Joe and team! Amazing service and experience!

    Really helpful and welcoming staff. David spent quite a bit of time with me testing a few different speakers out and I went for the Audioengine A2+ (amazing sounding speakers, by the way!). Happily bought them + a sub and David even carried them to my car as I had my baby with me, which was massively appreciated. Lovely staff and I'll 100% be back. Thank you!

    I live in the country Victoria so I did a fair bit of e mailing, The replies to my enqueues were always fast, When I picked up my turn table in Thombury Vince was very helpful and went to some trouble to set up a demo with a set-up like mine . I would recommend them and if I need to update any of my gear I would go to them.

    Honestly… just the most patient and lovely people. I missed out on two subs I really wanted and tried to work out how to work out an alternative as they only had one left. Finally found a second sub at another store across the country. But this was after changing my mind twice about it. They transferred store credit from another order and sent me the one I really wanted anyway without complaints. I feel like the biggest pain in the @ss but honestly, best customer service I have experienced anywhere in Oz. I’ll be giving my business to these guys going forward when possible. I think buy with confidence…

    I bought 10 fibreglass acoustic treatment panels and it has completely transformed my music studio. I did before and after tests and the results were incredible. Very happy with the advice I received and the product. Highly recommended!!

    Meagan was so helpful over the phone! Great service you rarely see anymore! Found what I needed quickly and made the process easy. It is my fourth purchase from Selby, and I will be more than happy to buy all my upgrades there in future. Thanks Meagan! 👌👍

    Purchased an Eversolo A6 Master Edition at the HiFi show, for later delivery. I was a bit late for the current batch but was in line for the next shipment in 4 weeks time. However, a day after the show I got a call to say they had one in stock and was sending it. I am very pleased with the customer service so far. Thank you.

    I Came to the shop on a quiet Tuesday morning ( 11.30am) 31st of October. Not a single person in the store ( apart from myself and the salesperson ). I was after some specific parts for a Turntable rebuild ,and had a list of the items that I wanted. Now firstly. No greeting , no acknowledgement from the salesperson towoards myself Okay, no problem , I thought I'd give him a moment to finish up his email or whatever it was that was taking his attention from the myself, the customer . After a few minutes, I stated politely that I was after some specific parts, and whether he had them in stock ( still no hello or acknowledgement/ eye contact of my presence ) . He managed to finally acknowlege my presence and without looking at me pointed at a cabinet stating something like ' that's what we have' , and went back to his computer task. I tried ( politely ) to follow up with a few deeper specific questions , which literally was met with some more finger pointing. At this point it crossed my mind that at best they were either very buisy , or worst case scenario , I was annoying him. Sure, I was probably only looking at roughly 100-150$ worth of accessories as opposed to a 15k Turntable or such. But no matter what, I did get the feeling that I was wasting their time and the store person could not make it any clearer that they where simply just not in the slightest bit interested in paying any attention to what it was that I was after, or offer any 'assistance' ( even tho I could see that parts of what I was after where in the cabinet, however I did need some professional advice as to the right parts). But There was simply no interest whatsoever in 'helping me'. I am not a difficult customer, I don't complain , and quite possibly they were very buisy with an online order, or an email.... I don't know their circumstances. I do know however , as I have stated, that everything apart from any questions that I had was more important . At this point I was exacerbated to the point that all I wanted was to leave the a store. I stated that they had lost a customer and a sale ( I guess $150-200 is just not worth any engagement for them) which was met with a shrug of the shoulders. I'm disappointed , and feel that at least a basic hello and some interaction/ interest wasn't to much to expect , as the store was dead quiet , I was organised, and knew what I was after. Basically I wasn't there to waste anyone's time. Also again. I am not a complainer, and usually I wouldn't bother even taking the time to 'vent my dissatisfaction '. But this was simply terrible ( in terms of customer service) , and won't ever step foot into the store ever again. Further to this, i have nothing positive to say about such a high end , specialised business, and I will always be honest about my experience, and that will reflect upon Shelby Acoustics on a whole.
