Received my order, unfortunately the case was damaged, after contacting customer service l was told in order to get a replacement l had go to my local HMV (a store 60 mile round trip) which kinda makes nonsense of using HMV online especially with the current Covid situation - makes Amazon look great - very poor online service

Appalling customer service they take days to answer emails there is now no calls being answered because of Covid-19, it seems to get blamed for everything. Poor excuse. They are not interested in providing customer service trying to get a refund for over 1 week. Avoid this company does not care

I ordered a dvd from HMV 11 days ago. Still nothing. I thought HMV were better than this. Amazon can still get my orders to me next day delivery. My son has been very very ill and we thought this would cheer him up being forced to stay in bed on his birthday. Thanks for ruining my sons Birthday HMV!

They cancelled my order. There was no attempt to resolve the issue or contact me with a resolution. I raised a complaint, and nobody was interested in giving me customer service. Absolutely dire way to treat customers. After shopping with them for 20 plus years I will never, ever use them again after this experience. Unfortunately, everybody is giving Amazon the monopoly because of the awful consumer experiences with other companies like HMV.

HMV in Belfast no longer allow customers to go and browse.A member of staff will go and get the dvds or blu rays for the customers I'm puzzled about this restriction

Bought a Vinyl LP at the advertised price, they sent me a CD. Refused to honour their advertising - won't use them ever again.

Dreadful experience. First they send me two faulty vinyls and then they flag my review for “not being genuine” instead of just helping me with this. They received my return of two faulty vinyls on the 27/01/2021 (as confirmed by Royal Mail). I received no confirmation of this at all and they are not refunding my moneys Absolute thieves.

Absolutely useless customer service - very delayed response to e-mails and a phone number that is not answering. AVOID USING THE ONLINE SERVICE.

Last minute shopping in Basildon for a couple of presents...couldn’t find the DVD I was after so asked at the tills and was told there were 17 in stock so they should be somewhere...and that was it. Zero customer service, no wonder the company is in trouble...I won’t bother visiting again in the future

Been coming to HMV Bournemouth for 5 years on a regular basis, and have spent a lot of money in the store. The staff currently are passive aggressive: filthy looks, abrupt in their interactions, extremely unfriendly. Its as if having regular custom is sonething to be viewed with suspicion, or maybe its an alien concept they are not used to. Will be taking all my business to Amazon. I prefer the anonymity.
