Another great order ❤

I bought some more t-shirts and yet again they were great quality, brilliantly priced and arrived earlier than stated when I ordered.

Never received my cd's ....

Order placed on 18/04/2026. The order of 1 cd was cancelled on 27/04/2026, but when I looked on the website the very same day, it was still available, but the price was 6.95 in stead of 4,95! Shame! I still have not received the other 2 cd's ... I will never order again!

Great for a Long Time

As I have written before for Trustpilot, I LOVE Chalkys. I have ordered from them direct, via Amazon, via eBay and have been buying from them, off and on, since the 90s, if my memory serves me. The service has always been top rate, you get exactly what you order, as described, in the perfect condition you expect. When I used to call my orders through (yes, there were days before online orders) the staff were lovely, knowledgeable, and friendly. I am positive they still are!
I still get a wave of joy when I see they have something I am looking for because it is nice to cut out big business and people who "take a cut" and I encourage customers to do the same. Wide range, great service, very competitive prices. What more does anyone want. I'll be back to Chalkys and I hope my review helps you decide to choose them.

Inappropriate packaging

The price was good, but packaging was terrible. The BD box arrived with no padding in a paperthin plastic envelope, totally unsuitable for international shipping. As a result, the jewel box arrived broken. Luckily the discs were undamaged. Chalkys can do better than that!

Quick and efficient order and delivery

Received my vinyl very quickly and packaged well for delivery. The only comment I have is that I did not receive shipment or tracking details. Package just showed up at my door. Would be good to share tracking details.

Hello,
We are delighted to hear that your vinyl arrived quickly and in excellent condition. Thank you for your feedback on the shipment and tracking information. Unfortunately, at the moment, most of our international orders do not use a fully tracked service. However, we are actively addressing this issue. We hope you enjoy the record!
