Townsend Music Ltd Reviews 

Ordered 2 items on the 14th November and haven’t received either of the items. Have received my order confirmation and since the 14th have heard nothing. Have tried contacting through their website but the website isn’t allowing me to send an email over. Overall not a very happy experience especially when you spend over £70 including postage to not recieve the items.

Great to see a company specialise in physical releases however the prices charged for shipping are astronomical when there are such a wide range of shipping options about these prices are ridiculous and will always use other sellers with free or lower shipping costs

Thank you Townsend Music for your great service. It was really easy to place my Jake Bugg order with you and I loved that you kept me informed about the delivery of my parcel and when it would be dispatched. My parcel arrived in great condition and I am delighted with the service you provided and I know that any future orders I purchase from you will be in safe hands. Thank you again Townsend Music

Great service. - always a speedy delivery without any issues 10/10 👍

Placed an order more than 3 weeks ago, and there is no movement at all. Ordered some t-shirts, nothing rare. Tried to contact them via the website, but "Send" button click responds 403-Forbidden. So probably the only way to have their attention is to leave 1-star here.

So my bag I said that I would not use TM again due to past experience. But hey I wanted the Alan Parsons Project IRobot boxset with limited addition poster so went for it. Not sure if some grudge is being held or they are just totally incompetent when it comes to packaging people’s personal property. I preordered the item and paid for it so I believe it belongs to me. So really it comes down to their disregard for buyers/owners items that they fail drastically. I mean they are selling these items as limited addition future valuables collectors pieces and then they arrive like they are worthless to them which makes them worthless to the buyer. There is no way TM can brazen their way out of what has happened to my limited addition poster. All the posters have now been sent, delivered, appreciated. Not mine they somehow managed to pack my poster in the bottom of the outside package. The beautiful poster was laid face up unprotected with the album boxset inside its protective cardboard sleeve on top of it. For some unknown reason there was some sellotape on the bottom of the boxset protective sleeve, which I can’t comprehend why it’s there as it’s not on any of the other box sets I have bought from them. Because of the position of the poster and the tape on the bottom of the boxset sleeve the P in Parsons has been subjected to a removal of part of the print which is now part of the tape. This has left the poster ruined well the P in Parsons is ruined. Can’t believe it total incompetence goes to the packer. Please be informed TM that all details have been submitted and I have sent u an email in regard to the situation with pictures to let you see exactly what you have done through your packaging negligence and complete disregard for the items you dispatch to your customers.

So here we are 5 days later and no reply to my internal email or response to my review. What does that mean. Does it mean that they realise what they have done or did it in revenge to my past complaint and can’t face making a response because they can’t get over their complete incompetence and complete disregard for there customers property. What a complete bunch of well what can’t I say.

11 days on and I have had a response asking for more more details. Which were submitted in initial review. No response to my original email or the one i sent after with pictures to make sure they could see what they had done. Indefensible attitude utter rubbish service.

Still no response 16 days later. Says a lot don’t it.

And the no response no responsibility rolls on and on deliberate action then as no explanation has been forthcoming or given.

Reply 4 days short of a month great customer service. As always pushing their failings on to the customer. Got an apology but too little too late. Then using my failure to respond to their last debacle implying that it’s got nothing to do with TM must be the customer. Their offer to send it back for a refund is nothing short of comedick. The poster was free so I am better off with it damaged than not having one at all. No mention of compensating me for their behaviour. I honestly believe that the damage was a deliberate action because of my last negative review. Fair enough there are people like that in the world fortunately I am not one of them.

Great Feeder items from Townsend Music, well packed, dispatched on time and good communication.

Exelent service and communications, problems fixed and everything perfect.

I've been using Townsend Music Ltd, for quite a while now, & order quite regularly, from them. I always receive the orders on time, well packaged & fast postage. Being a record collector, Townsend Music Ltd provide a good price on their items. Long may it continue.

The vinyl arrived promptly after dispatch notification.
The plastic sleeve was split on 2 sides probably due to vinyl rattling around in box during transit but vinyl not damaged at all.

it's normally a decent enough place to order from. i have done many times over many years, but the website feels like it's a company run by barbara when she's not cleaning offices. keeps crashing, keeps going back to the first page of a search instead of going back to the page you were on (well fecking annoying if you have reached page 30!!). it has always just fallen short for a business. for an online shop, the website is quite annoying to use. there's no decent links for customer service. there's seldom any movement in prices for way old stock - not like a business to not want to sell stuff off!. when i do order it's always a decent experience. stuff arrives well packaged and secure. i feel postage shouldn't be applied over a certain price cap. but that's just how i would run it. you can't contact them easily if there's a query or something to highlight.

Delivered on time and well packaged.No complaints at all with service received.Thank you.

I have been overjoyed with all of my orders from Townsend Music Ltd, as not only have they offered numerous exclusive / signed bundles for some of my favourite artists, but these collectibles are always meticulously packaged to ensure that they arrive in mint condition! Thank you so much tmstor.es for the many beautiful additions to my record collection, which I absolutely cherish! Highly recommended to music lovers and collectors everywhere! A+++++

Just placed my 4th order Townsend Music Ltd. in the last four years. The quality of the music offerings are really top notch! Seems I'm on track for one a year previous all Simple Minds (Which we saw in concert with Soft Cell and Modern English this past June in the Atlanta area.). Just bought the Zombies - Odessey and Oracle (Mono Remastered) CD & (Mono Remastered) RSD Stores Orchid Vinyl I'm making out better price wise than buying from the big "A" (USA) which doesn't even offer the Orchid Vinyl. This is where to come for music in general and also to find the music from artists that might not be making a say special edition release in your country. Which is why I made my Simple Minds purchases here. The staff have in the past ALWAYS responded to an enquiry from me very quickly and within the next day allowing for the 6 hour time difference from Ga. Packages are well secured and have never had an issue when received. I know someone will question only 4 in as many years but it's a long swim to the UK and back so shipping can get up there so I'm very discriminant in my music I want from here and I think that's OK in the long run. So in other words I'll be back.
