I bought suede's new album in basildon store which was £24:99 , didn't realise i was charged 28:99 until I got home? Don't know why, thinking it was deliberate overcharge.

Hi Jessica
Thanks for your review, we love seeing 5 stars and happy customers!
Hope you choose to shop with us again soon,
Thanks.
The customer service in store was exellent, very helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. Had a discussion on pop vinyl figures which I felt was nice and good customer service
The customer service in store was great. Very helpful and polite.
The item condition however was not as good. Boxes delivered in store was beaten (I was concerned this may happen on home delivery), and several of the pop vinyl boxes had obviously been damaged during transit causing worn edges to the box.
Disappointed as it arrived damaged. Only ordered as I was concerned they may sell out in store

Buying an album from HMV
Staff were very helpful in arranging my order, and subsequently updating me on its progress whenever I stopped by the store. When I finally got the album today the assistant was very efficient and friendly.

Absolutely first class, the staff could not be more helpful, they offered help without being asked, as far as I'm concerned five stars wasn't enough, the best shopping experience.
