I’ve never been to hvm before but I’m planning on going there soon! I just wanna ask a few questions before I do!
1. I’m a very huge K-pop fan and I like over 15 groups so I just wanna ask what groups are in your store and if they’re sold out or not, a small list of groups would be perfect! (I like Katseye too!)
2. What time do you guys open, what time do you close and what days are you open? I’d love to know!
Those are all the questions (I can think of) but I’m giving you guys a five stars just in case I’m IN LOVE with your store but if I ever don’t like something I just give it 3 or 4 stars since I’m not that mean😅
But I will be coming soon! I’m really excited to see you guys!

I don’t generally buy from HMV but I was given a gift card for my birthday when I finally went in there to buy something two of my favourite bands had released albums so I picked up the Yes album Aurora and went to get the Hawkwind album Psychedelic selection but disaster they didn’t have it in the shop but the lady behind the counter said I could order it which she did two days later I picked it up from the shop
I found the service to be quick and efficient it is definitely worth a trip to see them

Hello Bradley
Thanks for your review,
We are sorry to hear that your hmv.com order did not reach our store ready for collection in time for the items' intended release date. Please be advised that although we do dispatch our pre-orders with the aim of a release date delivery, we are regrettably unable to guarantee this. It is, however, unusual that an order is not received by the release date, and for this, we offer our apologies.
Beth was very helpful
Beth was very helpful, friendly and nothing was too much trouble. My item wasn't in and it was for my nephew's birthday and she ensured that this would be delivered before his birthday.
