Needed help in store to purchase online - both members of staff I spoke to in the Dundee store were very helpful.
Good communication regarding order and updates by email. Item arrived promptly and pick up was seamless.
All in all a very quick and easy purchase

Your customer service when I could not…

Your customer service when I could not find joanna shaw taylor because they had moved her class of music around the store.
I wish we could have one backing Aston. Under line, so we didn't have to go to stockport or Manchester, to get what I want.

Taken my money and haven't received my order.…

I got a notification that my online order had been dispatched for click and collect. A week later and still no notification that it is ready to be collected. Sent a message on the help centre and had the usual we've received your query, but nothing else. Tried phoning the store to chase it, it's a charge number and there was no answer.
Out of pocket by nearly £200, I'm fuming!
