Love it!

I shopped at Sokollab multiple times and I will continue to do so, they have amazing service and products at reasonable price compared to HMV.

Open box

pretty average experience, albums are cheaper then elsewhere which is why i decided to order. I had to pay €30 in customs for 2 albums. The albums arrived and the box was opened. Sokollabs packing is disgraceful. No bubble wrap just an open box. Luckily my albums weren’t damaged

Hi,

We're very sorry to hear that the packaging was open on arrival. This can be down to transit handling, as well as packaging factors. We use a high strength kraft corrugated bukwrap for impact protection, which is FSC certified, sustainable and biodegradable.

We try to reduce use of void fill like bubble wrap where possible. Your feedback has been passed on to our team, so thanks for taking the time to leave us a review which will help us improve our services.

Best wishes,
The SOKOLLAB Team

My txt album

My txt album was a preorder, everything arrived and sokollab have a weird thing with making my manifestations come true for example, in the minisode two i wanted to pull soobin (bias) and beomgyu and taehyun as i didn’t have them yet, i ended up getting a soobin, taehyun and TWO beomgyu. ik this is by chance but sokollab never fails

The shop is adorable

The shop is adorable! There are so many shelves of things that I didn't know existed, I have to buy something everytime I go in because its so nice. There are even small stickers and card holders which are really cute. The staff are so nice as well and you can tell they enjoy being there ^^

Empty promises made

Asked them about an album I wanted for a while. They said they'd reserved it for me specifically and I would just have to ask from behind the counter. Went back around 3pm and they told me they don't reserve albums. I was stuck with the last one on the shelf that wasn't the version that I wanted and found that it was damaged! There was a rip on the photobook and scratches all over the cover. They are legit (hence the extra star) but when something goes wrong their customer service is terrible!

Hi Jane,

All our store purchases have a 28 day returns and exchange policy, so please be assured that if you have an issue with a purchase our team can help you. You can return it to store with your proof of purchase/receipt in the 28 day period.

With regards to reservations, we do not normally reserve albums in the store for general sale. Please can you help us understand with whom/where this was requested, the requested item and the date, as this should not occur. We would appreciate if you could get in touch with us at help@sokollab.com to discuss further.

Best wishes, The SOKOLLAB Team

Very Friendly :)

I love how Sokollab is so welcoming. In Birmingham every single one of the staff there are honestly amazing!! I love that when you go to Sokollab they’ll honestly help you with anything you need. They always try to do things for everyone eg. Doing concert tickets giveaways and giving us discounts when possible. Also, all the albums, k beauty and accessories they have in store is just amazing and every time I go to the store I get so excited!! :)

Great shop

Great shop , I go there regularly now for my kpop albums. The prices are value for money too. Not expensive like other shops I’ve brought from.

Friendly and helpful staff

Friendly and helpful staff! Loved the interior. Prices may seem high but from my experience of buying kpop albums this is the best you can get from a UK store.
