Above and Beyond

The person working there really helped and went out of their way to find a solution for me. (Sorry I didn’t get their name.) The LP I wanted to order as a gift wasn’t in store but they put an order in and it was delivered to my door a few days later!

I asked for help to find Raye’s new CD as it was out of stock. Holly found a cd but unfortunately it was the old one, not the latest one. She did think there was a copy in stock and I guess assumed it was what she found.
I got it home before checking and my husband opened it before I could see the mistake.
Is it possible to return it?

Great deal on COD

HMV had COD on a really good deal, took the empty PS5 case to the till and the server said that they don't actually keep the discs in store and that you have to order them. They said that you could get ot delivered for free. So I opted for that and it was delivered to my home 2 days later. Really quick service and the worker was really helpful.

The order has not been fulfilled

The order has not been fulfilled, didn't realise till Christmas eve when I opened the box, no way to complain, difficult to find out who to contact. That'll be after Christmas now.Not impressed, and certainly won't be using this service again, if it's not in the shop then I'll try somewhere else.

Excellent staff Member

I went into the store wanting a specific item. The lady I spoke with was very helpful. She had a look but they didn’t have it. However she checked online and ordered it to be delivered to the store. Was in with 3 days.

Good service from online click and collect

Item arrived at the HMV store in good condition. Staff at the store friendly and helpful.
I like having the option to order, in particular classical music online and have free delivery to a store. It gives me the ability to order less popular items that you wouldn't normally hold in store.

Buying 'deaf'.

There is a large selection of turntables on your website, but when it comes to going to a local store there are very demonstration models to listen too. In effect I was buying 'deaf' as I could not assess performance and most importantly sound quality.

Hi David

Thanks for leaving us a review. We’re sorry to hear you had trouble finding items at your local store.

Whilst we do like to refresh the look of our stores and show off a range of products that we have available for our customers to own, we’d never intend this to cause confusion or limit the finding of our items, so we’re disappointed to hear this may have been the case on this occasion.
