i placed an order excited for a vinyl i wanted for a while. only to have my order cancelled a couple days later because they now have no stock. i should not have been able to place the order, pay just for it to end up being cancelled. clearly the website needs some work so that they don’t sell more stock than they have. very disappointing.

Hi,

Thank you for this review.

We are really sorry to hear these comments, we've looked into this and the product purchased is not held in our offices but ordered in from the supplier on a dropship service, as such, at point of purchase you were advised to allow up to 7 days for dispatch. When you placed your order, this automatically placed an order with the supplier to provide the stock to us, and they let us know this is no longer available, so we took immediate action to update the product status on our website and issued a refund.

These actions were taken at 7:52am, you placed your order after business hours (at 5:47pm) the previous day. Contrary to the details in your review on the timeline of events, this was under 1 business hour, showing that we do try our best to ensure a speedy service.

We always want to ensure we are providing a high level of service to our customers, and any time something doesn't go to plan, we want to put things right immediately.

Our Head of Customer Service has reached out to you by email on 3 occasions to offer assistance, but is yet to receive a reply from you.

Please reach out to our Customer Service Team should you require any further assistance.

Regards,
TM Stores

I'm delighted with my Gary Numan Telekon 45th anniversary edition CD. Telekon was the first album I bought of Gary's, and remains a firm favourite.

Vinyl cover damaged upon reception

I ordred the Kylie Minogue Tension Tour DL vinyl.
I was so happy to receive it to realise that the edge of the cover is damaged.
I was SO upset ! it is this kind of sneaky damage. I could not find anyway of contacting them. For damaged items, they request them to be sent to be reassessed. Australia UK will take ages to be shipped and re-shipped.
I am so annoyed. Anyone has a direct e-mail to their customer service ?

Townsend, excelling at selling and delivering again

Recently received delivery of the new Elles Bailey album "Can't take my story away."
As always when I deal with Townsend Music Store the album/CD package arrived promptly for release day.
The package was well wrapped to avoid in transit damage.
Communication from date of sale through to delivery was excellent as always.

CD Pre-buy and delivery

Ordering process straightforward and communications throughout timely and useful.

Product arrived when expected and well packaged. Bought the 'zine' version of the cd. Great album but had hoped it was a hardcover product.

Consistently reliable

TM Stores are always efficient and reliable - and on the rare occasions there is a problem, they resolve them readily and helpfully.
I buy much of my music from TM Stores - particularly their individual artist stores.

Townsend music seemless process, order through to delivery.

I frequently order from Townsend music as they have a great selection. The ordering process is simple. The communication from order placement through to delivery is excellent with order number, delivery dates and tracking details always provided.
