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.

Terrible customer service.

Over the past 6 months I've had to return 6 vinyl albums back to my lo store for exchange or refund.
The last time I was offered a gift card refund eben though I bought the original lps on my credit card. I 've been in contact with customer services about all my issues and they have been very unhelpful. This has put me off shopping again with HMV although I have to now because of my giftcard. I feel I have been treated very badly.

Fab service instore and online .

After going into store and them being out of stock the adviser in store checked the website and said that the item was available online to order which was fantastic customer service.
Website really easy to use and item arrived earlier than stated online so great service all around .

I ordered a gift that didn’t arrive until Christmas in time but was available in store

I ordered a gift that didn’t arrive until Christmas Eve. The same gift I ordered online was in store, I wasn’t allowed to take that in place of the the order I was still waiting for, so I paid for the gift on the shop floor rather than disappoint my daughter. When the gift did arrive, I explained that the gift was no longer needed as I bought the same item that was already in store. In store, They said i needed to post the item back to HMV. I said i would not send this back if I am bearing the cost of postage. They said that they would speak to their manager and arrange for this to be returned to HMV and that I would need to wait for at least 2 weeks for a refund. If an item is in store that I ordered online and not received, I think there needs to be a process more aligned to just swap and HMV manage the swap out so that I am not out of pocket for weeks. The store was BASILDON and the lady that advised me is called Julia/Jules. Your order 1089863. I look forward to receiving my refund of £29.99 in due course.

Requested an early film and this was found by Ethan and ordered on my behalf.

Ethan was very very helpful throughout, very fast service
