Great personable service
The people at the store were very friendly and helpful with my collection, and they also helped me previously when I needed to be refunded for a faulty item by another company.

Took week to arrive
Ordered 3 Vinyl which took a week to arrive, split delivery. Said: “usually dispatched with 24 hours.” What didn’t say is that delivery takes a further 3 or 4 days.

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.
