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

Metallica Color Vinyl Reissues

I have been pre-ordering the cool Metallica reissues through Recordstore. Being overseas, there is always a little concern while waiting for the records to be released, sometimes several months. Each time I have pre-ordered from Recordstore, they have always followed through! I have continually been impressed by the care taken with these orders - especially the safe packaging! Thank you so much!!

Misleading shipping information on the…

Misleading shipping information on the site. Please, don’t say you ship outside the UK when you actually don’t. I was very disappointed to find during checkout I could not get my order. I tried different addresses in different countries, none of them worked. If it’s UK only I understand, but just disclose it. Don’t mislead people. I was so excited to find the vinyls I wanted only to close the tab with bitterness.

Delivered quite quickly which was good

Delivered quite quickly which was good! However the cover of my vinyl was slightly damaged when I received it. The record itself was fine but still. This could have been more the fault of the delivery company though.

A treasured purchase.

Cheapest price on the market I could. I ordered my purchase on a Sunday. It was despatched on Monday and arrived on Tuesday. The postage was only £4.95 for a 17album boxset. The item was well packed. I would certainly consider using them again.
