Damaged items cost customers double

Order had an item which was damaged - they dont offer exchange! options provided where to return to a store (pay for tube) or return to them (their return portal charges you postage) then to replace the broken item
I would need to pay order postage as its under the threshold where my original
Order was over. So basically for a broken product its goin to cost me more to replace than the original thing was worth!!! Wont bother again with them

Great service at HMV Reading

The salesperson at HMV Reading, Phil K, was very helpful. He ordered the CD album for me, and the whole process was smooth and easy. I was pleasantly surprised that it was dispatched in just three days—it was much faster than I expected. Great service, and I’m very happy with my experience!
