Friendly and helpful
Bought some vinyl as a xmas present and the server was friendly. But the record turned out to be warped and jumped so took it back to the store, they didn't have any in stock so they ordered a new one and had it delivered with no hassle. Was a lovely young lady who served us.

First class customer service
After entering the shop rather than searching for what I was looking for I asked one of the assistants called Simon who took me straight to the customer department and looked on the system for what I was after. After looking Simon was able to order the CD and said that I would receive a email when it's despatched to the hmv shop at the Oracle shopping centre in Reading. I collected the item on Friday when I was doing shopping and only had to mention my name and what I had ordered.

Caring Service
Excellent service as on asking a cashier where/if a mobile accessory might be , she took me to it as unsure herself. She then said that SHE would know in future herself. I was using a walking aid,
This is not unusual as previously I have found staff there are always pieasant and professional but Never patronising. This is whether I’m using a walking aid or not.
