Avoid! Absolutely insane nonchalant attitude.

Avoid!
Oversold a record and just put it on backorder and no one in store knew anything.

Absolutely insane nonchalant attitude.
Ordered a LP Friday night for pick up in store that showed in stock. Got an email 11am Saturday saying this had just been placed on back order (which i know wasnt going to turn up as it was limited) So I just picked it up from elsewhere.

When I went into the store I was met with a guy with no customer etiquette what so ever. Just a sort of none caring attitude. I dont even think he cancelled the order and I had to hang around to get more information only to be told it will be dealt with on Monday. So no refund there and then. Opened a paypal dispute in the end and in all of this not one person apologised and they still think they can just put orders on back order for items they'll never get in again.

I havent dealt with this store too much because they damage the records they keep in the back and these "New" records are actually graded VG+ at best.

Extremely kind and professional

I had an opportunity to browse their vast range of records during my stay in Manchester this past week and I have to say multiple copies of vinyl records I couldn't find in my country were available and in mint condition. I bought four records (a total of six LPs as two came in two units each) and they were so kind as to post them all as a single parcel right away (I'm not even kidding; I went back inside to ask about something twenty minutes later, tops, and they confirmed to me they'd posted my parcel already). The staff is very kind, then again- I have never met a rude Manc and they were just no exception.

I'm definitely going to get my hands on some more records next time I visit.

Grazie

Relief to have great simple order process and delivery exceeding expectations

After a dreadfully experience with What Records, I was so pleased with the purchase of the two God Machine albums rereleased on vinyl via Piccadilly Records and relieved that I managed to get hold of them before selling out everywhere. The free delivery over £75 was also a bonus, lets face it with the current price of vinyl it's not hard to get to this level!

Took pre-order then on day of release cancelled order

Very disappointed with them. My first order was a pre-order of the two CD edition of the 50th anniversary edition of Wings “Band On The Run”. On the day of release they cancelled the order saying they were unable to source it, by which time other vendors had sold out. If you don’t have stock or guaranteed pre-orders don’t advertise them, take money and then wait until the last minute to say “Nope! No can do”.

To add insult to injury I now have to wait FOUR DAYS for PayPal to put the money back in my bank account.

Won't use them again for any order.

Pre-ordered the Pastel ISAIAH EP on…

Pre-ordered the Pastel ISAIAH EP on white vinyl, which was exclusive to a couple of UK stores, including Piccadilly. Item shipped on drop date and was well-packaged, with the vinyl having been removed from the sleeve for shipping. Unfortunately, despite this, there was some damage to the sleeve spine on receipt. Record is incredible though.

Support Indies!

I've ordered (& preordered) a few records from Piccadilly now and I'm really impressed :) The ordering process is super straight forward and delivery times are great too.

Love supporting local indie shops too!

This is what 5 star customer service is…

This is what 5 star customer service is all about, an amazing experience, Laura went above and beyond, in assisting me to purchase a birthday present for my son. When l made a mess of sending the email address Laura sorted it out no fuss. Defo best customer service ever.

Great customer service

I went to their shop in Manchester, and bought two records, came home to find out one of them were misprinted. I wrote to their support mail, and got my money back. Incredible customer service.
