Awful QC

HMV seem to think it's acceptable to send out over priced cd's that look like they've been kicked around a warehouse floor time after time.
If I wanted damaged, tatty cd's I could save a small fortune and buy second hand. When buying new I expect new!
HMV need to stop mugging their customers off and sort out their dreadful QC!

Delivered promptly on release date

Delivered promptly on release date. Have been eagerly waiting to The Pretty Reckless new album ' Dear God' and it was delivered early on in the day so I could listen to it many times on its release date, very happy.

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
