Definitely not a serious or trustworthy company.

I placed a preorder on the very day it was announced, which included three items. On release day, I was informed that one of the items had been canceled due to a lack of stock. I contacted them immediately to ask if they could replace it with another size or let me pay for the same item in a different color so it could be included with my order. They took too long to respond, and all they told me was that the order was "already being prepared" and that if I didn't want it, I should refuse the package (of course, I would have to pay the return shipping).

It's ridiculous that they can't provide quick and simple solutions.

The worst part is that they refunded the cost of the canceled item (or at least they were supposed to), but they didn't reduce the shipping cost. Hope they enjoy the extra money...

Hello,

Thank you for your review, although we are sorry to hear your comments.

We don't have your order number to look at specifics, and we requested your information via Trust Pilot but had no response.

We can confirm that if an item is cancelled, a proportion of the postage cost would also be refunded. If the entire order is cancelled before dispatch, the entire postage cost is refunded. We would like to speak with you to understand more on your comments for this.

We respond to all emails within 1 working day (Monday-Friday 9am-5pm). Our current average response time is 2 hours, during office opening times. We would like to know more about your comments about the team taking too long to respond, as this doesn't sound to be correct.

If you refuse a parcel on delivery, you don't pay return postage so we are unsure where this information has been provided to you.

We really want to make sure there's no misunderstanding, but without your order details we are limited on the information we can provide, so we urge you to reach out to our Customer Service Team for support if you have any questions relating to your order.

Regards,
TM Stores

Van the Man

I have been purchasing music from Townsend Music for many years now and have always been impressed by the quality and value they offer. I preordered the Van Morrison vinyl in early March. I wanted to support this exclusive release and was not disappointed. It arrived on time in the usual secure packaging. The quality of the record is amazing. A superb release. I can highly recommend Townsend Music to all music lovers.

Superb Store!

I've used Townsend Music for a number of years and have always received excellent service.
Their range of limited editions and exclusive releases is superb, making them a go-to retailer for music collectors. The pre-order process is straightforward and reliable, and I particularly appreciate the regular email updates keeping customers informed about new releases, special editions, and order progress.
Packaging is consistently first-class. Items arrive well protected in strong, high-quality packaging, ensuring that records, CDs, and box sets reach you in perfect condition.
A professional, dependable company with great communication and excellent customer service. Highly recommended for any music fan or collector.

Fast and smooth process - Pre-order

I recently managed an album pre-order transaction and was really impressed with everything. The ordering was easy and clear, and the delivery was super quick, which was even better than I thought.

One of the best parts was that there were extra digital options, with some great discounts that made buying it even more fun. Plus, getting to see album preview events was a cool, special treat that let me hear a sneak peek of the new music before it came out.

Overall, I’m very happy with the service. The way it’s efficient, thoughtful and focused on making customers happy makes this pre-order process really special, and I’d definitely suggest it to any music fan who wants a smooth and enjoyable pre-order.
