Hello HMV I purchased the latest vinyl from Steven Wilson and it jumped on first couple of tracks, I returned product back to store which took me an hour and re ordered to be sent via post. Received in post as promised only to find same problem. Another hour driving. Got a full refund and told to try and get vinyl in a couple of months. Not happy as Xmas present.

Hello, we're sorry to hear this. While our suppliers all carry out stringent quality control checks, it appears as though an error has slipped through on this occasion - we can certainly understand your frustration if the same fault is occuring in the same place upon recieving the item a second time.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Should you require any further assistance then please feel free to contact us at website.service@hmv.co.uk.
Avoid
Products are a rip off, staff product knowledge is appalling and talk to customers like crap, avoid where you can.
