I wrote to customer service about a vinyl inner sleeve that came damaged (bent and with holes, the paper starting to unstick from itself) and, while I appreciate the 48hrs or less response, they essentially said “sorry can’t do anything about it because it’s cosmetic” when all I’d need is a new inner sleeve. I don’t need a whole new record, I just need a new inner sleeve. I’ve spoken to other fans who purchased the same record and they had similar issues with not only the product but the company refusing to do anything about a damaged product—a product mind you that isn’t just a vinyl, it’s a sleeve with art that I doubt the artist intended to have arrive or packed damaged. To me, it would be like purchasing a shirt that ended up having bleach stains across it and the company refusing to let you exchange it because it’s “cosmetic”. I’m a record collector and this really sucks. Avoid Kings Road Merch if you care about the condition of the product you’re purchasing.

We have not received our order yet. So far no review but it’s not looking good, as the tracking says delivered but doesn’t say to where because we didn’t receive it. Hoping it’s still coming as it’s a birthday gift

Hello and thank you for your order. The tracking for your order does show that it was delivered on 2/27 and we never got an email to let us know you did not receive your order. We've reached out to you through email so please respond at your earliest convenience and we'll get this taken care of for you. Thank you.

Horrible packaging. Customer service never responds. If I could get the things I order elsewhere I would.

Ordered two tye dye bad religion shirts and an age of unreason hoodie on September 29 2023. Got the hoodie in late November, one of the tye dyes just before Christmas and the last tye dye doesn’t exist on account of someone robbing your old warehouse or something so I settled on a pair of sweatpants just because there is really nothing else I wanted to substitute. ON TOP OF THAT; last year my seeet mum ordered me the American Jesus Harley Tshirt and that has yet to come. EVER. Without any reason. However, the customer service agent I dealt with throughout this ordeal was amazing and very very helpful and is probably an essential member of your team. GIVE THEM A RAISE. Lower your heads in shame otherwise.

Hello, apologies for the delay with some of your items. This order was placed in the middle of a massive warehouse move. If items you have are out of stock, we're always able to just issue a refund for the item instead of swapping it out for something else. Please get in contact with you about your mother's order that she didn't receive and we'd be more than happy to look into that. Thank you!

After waiting over 3 weeks, I opened up a PayPal Claim. FINALLY they shipped my order. Looks like reporting them to PayPal is the only way to get your order when dealing with these guys. AVOID!!

Hello, apologies for the delay with your order. We were deep in the middle of a massive warehouse move when you placed your order and things got a bit backed up. The move is mostly done now and any new orders are shipping very quickly. Glad you received the hoodie and hope you're enjoying it. Thank you!

Easily one of the most frustrating transactions I've ever made. I made a purchase roughly a YEAR ago, and now they want a review? Sure thing. I bought a tee shirt, sweatshirt, and vinyl record from there. Tee shirt and vinyl never even came in. Sweatshirt was way too small and came in very late, so I didn't even get to gift that. I attempted to contact somebody about a refund or getting the vinyl and t shirt sent to me, but it never happened. So here I am, one year later, STILL with no vinyl record or t shirt. And the website wants me to post a review? Laughable. If I could mark 0 of 5 stars j totally would, but 1 is the lowest I can go. This website is run by crooks who have absolutely no customer service capabilities whatsoever. If you're reading this, I implore you: ***DO NOT BUY FROM THIS WEBSITE***

Hello, You purchased a sweatshirt, hat and LP. You emailed us in December 2022 to let us know you received the sweatshirt and hat but not the LP. You emailed again a few days later asking for us to cancel your order. We let you know the order could not be canceled since it had been shipped already and you requested a refund for the missing LP and the shipping price. We issued a refund for the LP and shipping price in January 2023. You received 2 of the 3 items ordered and received a refund for the other item along with your shipping price. Thank you.

Hello, apologies for the delay with your last order. It was placed in the middle of a massive warehouse move which caused delays as we continue to get set up at our new spot. It looks like you were issued a refund as soon as you requested it though. Again, apologies for the delay and we can promise you your next order will ship much quicker. Thank you!

I placed an order with them, they took my money then ignored me for 4 months, no communication, ignored emails and did not respond until I contacted them on social media. Horrible company.

I like the choices, but there has been a consistent problem of me being charged for shipping on purchases over the amount required for free shipping. I have yet to receive any refund and I just call it a wash. I don't like that I have to contact Customer service about this on multiple incidents. I don't see me coming back anytime soon

Hello, at the time of this purchase there was a promo for free US shipping on orders $60+. Your order total was a few dollars short of that which is the why the free shipping didn't trigger for your order. It needs to be $60+ before shipping is added. If you're ever charged for shipping when you shouldn't be, feel free to reach out to our customer service and we'll be happy to help you out and even issue a refund for shipping if it actually should have been free. Thank you.

Package never arrived, they offered to reship but then they stopped responding to any communications. I reached out many more times. I have finally filed a dispute with my credit card company. I'll buy elsewhere in the future.

I never received my item. I got a shipping notification but it was never actually shipped and for months now I keep getting told the item is in transit to a new facility. Nobody seems to actually care. I just keep getting the same noncommittal message. I feel like any other reputable business would have done something more than minimal effort to make this right after many months of a missing/unsent/who knows what's happening with it item.

Hello, apologies for the delay with your order. We do very much care about your order and the replacement copy of your record should be shipping out soon. We shipped your order before we started moving our warehouse but it looks like USPS lost the package before scanning it into their system. We put in a replacement order but by that time we had already started the move and your item was unavailable to ship from our old warehouse. It hasn't been received at our new warehouse yet but should be soon. As soon as it's received we'll get your order shipped out. We're receiving thousands of items a day at our new warehouse and more and more orders are shipping out from there. Again, apologies for the delay and we'll get your order shipped out soon. Thank you!

Received a defective record. Sent a request for a replacement. No response. Left a review, as requested. Was told a replacement would be sent, and I would be contacted. No response. Here is another review of my order. Maybe I’ll receive a response.

Hello, apologies for the delay with your order. Your email was responded to weeks ago with a tracking number for your order. Not sure if you missed that email or not but you should have your order now. If there's anything else we can help you with, please let us know. Thank you.

Order placed the very same day the item was made available. Order status had it as having been shipped, but no tracking information available. Followed up several weeks later, opened a case number, waited more, only to be told almost a month later that the item is no longer available. A refund was offered, I responded that's what I'd like to do, and haven't received confirmation on that yet, nor a timeframe of when I should receive the refund. Now, the website says that items are back-ordered with a 3-4 weeks delay, effectively making a new order for other items, impossible to do. Some "new warehouse" excuse, which is exactly what another horrible company pulled when they couldn't fulfill their orders. It's all a shame, since previous orders were handled perfectly. Looking forward to my refund.

Terrible customer service from Kings Road Merch. I preordered an album from Kings Road and I received a shipment notification. The shipment was marked as pre-shipment, label created and stayed that way for three weeks. When I reached out to Kings Road via email I received no response. I then reached out via their Facebook Messenger, which elicited a response within 30 minutes asking for the order number. I immediately sent the order number and then received no response for over 24 hours. When I responded asking what was happening, I received a response that customer service was working on the issue. That was a week ago, with no response at all from Kings Road. I will never use this service again. I could have ordered from another company and had the album almost a month ago.

Hello, your order was originally shipped out on 5/6 but it looks like USPS must have lost the package before they ever checked it in. Since it was shipped media mail, it's not uncommon for these packages to take a few weeks to be delivered, sometimes the tracking never updates and then randomly just gets delivered. We had responded to let you know about this and to see if it showed up and once we knew it was lost we issued a replacement order. Before that could be shipped you wanted the order canceled and refunded so we issued a full refund on your order. Apologies for the inconvenience with this order but once a package leaves our warehouse we have no control over how the carrier handles the package. Unfortunately, this one got lost and we were happy to issue a replacement order but since you would rather have a refund we processed that right away once it was requested. Thank you.
