Online order arrived with slight damage to record. Was told I could exchange it for another copy in-store, which I did. Thankfully they had copies available. Overall, reasonably satisfied.

Great place for music lovers
I was able to purchase the new album of Purple Disco Machine on the day of its release. I picked it up two days later at the shop. Friendly staff, great atmosphere, it put me I a good mood for the day!

It's a place I really enjoy shopping ing in
It's just a place I enjoy shopping in. They usually have a great playlist upstairs in the music section and I have picked up a few things on the basis of what I'd heard. I also enjoy browsing books, t-shirts and Blu-ray. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable.

Buying a game in store, on the website, to get it delivered…?
HMV. Somewhat flawed system in place that I personally encountered. I was given a gift card for Christmas, that I couldn’t use online so I thought of phoning up a store to see if they had anything I’d like available to buy but you have to pay to phone HMV locations. So, I rock up to the Edinburgh Princess’ street location on a whim and I’m told the game I’m interested in isn’t there (PS5 Release) because they don’t stock games anymore. So, I had to use my ‘in store’ gift card, to buy a game on the ‘HMV website’, in store so I could get it delivered to ‘my house’. Wow. That’s a lot of work for a product… guy on the counter was a gem though. CEO’s fix the company, yeh?

Confusing process for return of damaged product
As requested, my CD box set was delivered (within a cardboard box), to my local store. I collected it, and took it home. I opened the protective box, and found the box set, still shrink-wrapped, inside. The casing of the box set was clearly damaged, which begs the question "who shrink-wrapped a damaged product?".
I took it back to the store, but they didn't have another copy of the box-set. I was told to take it home, and start the lengthy process of arranging a replacement copy from the website. However, when I checked the website, it contained contradictory information on the returns process. To cut a long story short, I was left bemused by the whole process, though (thankfully) the local store eventually accepted the damaged box, and re-ordered another.

Excellent service in Edinburgh store
Excellent service in Edinburgh store, Princes St. Young lady went the extra mile to help me order some old movies. Instant Email receipts provided all the necessary information. Delivery was faster than expected. Overall a really successful store visit.

Disappointed
Have only listened so far to 1 of the 3 vinyl albums I purchased. Only to find Katherine Priddy’s ‘special edition’ transparent green LP is scratched! It was a gift for my partner and am not sure how I can prove we didn’t cause it. The delivery from HMV was fine but the scratch is very disappointing and am aware that’s nothing to do with HMV really as they don’t produce & package …
