Dismal customer service. Sent a £250+ box set out damaged. Was returned to them almost two weeks ago. Still no sign of a replacement or a refund despite multiple attempts at communicating with them.... See more

Not in any way to downplay the negative reviews, but just to give my own personal experience for some balance. Ordered 3 vinyl's (at a great price in the sale) at around 10pm Monday night. Woke up Tue... See more

Excellent. Ordered on Saturday and it arrived on Monday which was superb and a nice surprise. Was well packaged and fairly priced so can't recommend enough.

Pre-ordered Bob Dylan The 1974 Live…

Pre-ordered Bob Dylan The 1974 Live Recordings 27cd set for £109. Had an email to say the release date had been put back. I emailed them for an update and they cancelled the order. I now can't find this set for less than £180. Why advertise stuff you have not intention of stocking. Now I've missed out on this set. Will not be using them again.

Hey Gary,

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review. 

We think customer satisfaction is essential and are genuinely sorry that we haven’t met your expectations on this occasion. 

Unfortunately, we do not physically stock the items and they come directly from our supplier, we then ship these to all ordering customers, so when the supplier cancels this is beyond our control. I am truly sorry for any inconvenience this has caused. 

We look forward to providing a better experience next time and if you have any further questions or concerns please reach back out to us!

Tomorrow Never Knows…

Rock chick granddaughter’s birthday was imminent and she’s a keen vinyl collector but rather than slipping her a few quid I decided she needed educating musically. I thought The Beatles was a good place to start and Revolver is a favourite album with a great variety of musical styles (plus it was the first Beatles album I was given when I was 12). The Record Store shipped me a sealed copy and within a couple of days it arrived in stout packaging. Great service all round. Might introduce her to the Stones’ Beggar’s Banquet next time ;-)

A total embarrassment of a company

A total embarrassment of a company. Pre-ordered a number of items months ago. You would think they would actually be here on the day of release but no no dispatch email no contact. Nothing at all. Quick to take your.money but have absolutely no intention of fulfilling any order. This company should be investigated as they are.an absolute sham.

Great Deals on Hard-to-Find Vinyls

Recordstore has honestly been such a great place to buy rare and hard-to-find vinyls! As an international music fan, I have often struggled to find vinyls from my favourite artists, as most of them were only distributed in the US. For over 2 years I have been searching for an "emails i can't send" vinyl, but there were literally none to be found in Europe or Asia-Pacific. I found the vinyl on Recordstore through a reddit post and quickly ordered it along with some other ones. I had seen the reviews about products often being damaged in transit, but this didn't happen. It was somehow delivered from the UK to Italy in under 48 hours. All the products were extremely reasonably priced.
Thanks so much for making my day! 😊

Careless packing

This was packaged great, really well protected but had an autographed photo with it and they had stuck the invoice straight across one of the autographs, ruined

Just received my vinyl

I have received my record today. For being shipped over seas it was package poorly. I have never received a record out of hundreds I have ordered that were just put in an envelope with zero stability protection. The record sleeve was bent and the vinyl has a couple tiny chips. No wrapping on the vinyl.

Vinyl with signed prints

Vinyl with signed prints, although my preference is a signed record sleeve, good product, delivered on time, well packaged. I enjoy buying vinyl from this company.
