Excellent staff Member
I went into the store wanting a specific item. The lady I spoke with was very helpful. She had a look but they didn’t have it. However she checked online and ordered it to be delivered to the store. Was in with 3 days.

So that we can investigate this fully, please contact our customer service team at support.hmv.com with as many details of your experience as possible and they’ll take a look asap.
Good service from online click and collect
Item arrived at the HMV store in good condition. Staff at the store friendly and helpful.
I like having the option to order, in particular classical music online and have free delivery to a store. It gives me the ability to order less popular items that you wouldn't normally hold in store.

Buying 'deaf'.
There is a large selection of turntables on your website, but when it comes to going to a local store there are very demonstration models to listen too. In effect I was buying 'deaf' as I could not assess performance and most importantly sound quality.

Hi David
Thanks for leaving us a review. We’re sorry to hear you had trouble finding items at your local store.
Whilst we do like to refresh the look of our stores and show off a range of products that we have available for our customers to own, we’d never intend this to cause confusion or limit the finding of our items, so we’re disappointed to hear this may have been the case on this occasion.
George was amazing!
I went into the shop with little to no information on an old record player i was trying to set up with low hopes of anyone being able to assist me. That was until George came to the rescue with all the information i could've asked for, he was friendly and efficient and went above and beyond to make sure i got everything i needed. Massive thank you to George!

As well as that, the genuibky friendly Staff who always make me feel welcome whenever I visit and seem to enjoy being there which makes the store feel so much nicer to visit.

The staff were very helpful and indeed were polite. I think they enjoyed searching for CDS they did not have in the store. It was fun.
