The album was delivered to the store for collection soon after ordering,pick up went smoothly and I would do it again.

The reason why I rate it 4 stars is that I am a funko pop collector and I am a big fan of xxxtentaction and they have little amount of CDs that are sung by him. And I think you should put a few more... See more

After mistakenly ordering one record in the 3 for £66 online incorrectly the Bournemouth HMV staff were able to swap out the record for one they had in stock without having to return the whole order.... See more

Happy 80s music fan!

It was easy to click and collect and the staff at HMV Bournemouth are always lovely and helpful.
However, you don't get a full score because you failed to take my payment as soon as I tried to pre-order the item and in this day and age money never stays in my bank account for long! And the payment bounced once and I had to wait until better times.
Also, in another recent enquiry with your customer services head office, the guy didn't seem to have a clue about which Tears for Fears live album I was after and they have only ever released one in their entire career lol! Except of course I couldn't remember its title. And he faffed around for ages trying to locate it and kept quoting me the wrong item until I had to put the phone down on him and give-up because I was running late for my next lesson after tea break - He was taking so goddamn long! (I work in education).
But on the whole, HMV tick most of the boxes for positivity when I buy from you. And you do it with a smile, which helps and costs nothing!
Best Wishes

HMV has a good selection of Blu-Ray DVDs.

I bough The Hustler and The Colour of Money on Blu-Ray using the collect in store option. Quick and easy process and great value for money as both films were sold at a reduced price. Very satisfied.

We were told when we purchased the item that the Bournemouth store would contact us when the product arrived in their shop. We did not hear a thing and went in on the off chance we could pick up the item only to be told they had the product 3 days earlier and did not tell us

Don’t use the click snd collect service …

We tried to cancel an order but the customer service line was closed. Our click and collect order was not ready until after Christmas! But we collected one from the store beforehand. We have asked for a refund but have been told we have to go to the store collect the item, return the item and have a credit note! That means a nearly 2 hour round trip for us. Very dissatisfied.

Thanks for nothing HMV

I made a purchase to be delivered in store I was advised it should be delivered for Fri 20th Dec and I'd receive emails to inform me of the progress, I have received no emails to advise me of anything and as Friday arrives I decided to go back to the store as it" should be " in by friday it's still not in however they haven't had today's delivery and it's expected to be on it and I'd receive a email to inform me of it be delivered after double checking my email address I was hopeful of it being delivered and me being informed, no such luck. In a tech based world a simple email is free yet phoning HMV can cost up to £0.67 per minute ( no way I'm calling them ) HMV will not be seeing my custom again.
