The protective packaging used for products, especially vinyl, is often praised for ensuring items arrive undamaged. However, some customers experienced significant delays in dispatch and delivery, with orders taking weeks to process or not arriving at all.

Dismal customer service. Sent a £250+ box set out damaged. Was returned to them almost two weeks ago. Still no sign of a replacement or a refund despite multiple attempts at communicating with them.... See more

Fraudulent site

Disgraceful place. Paid £6.95 for next day delivery within 24 hours to find it takes FIVE days to deliver and they’re gaslighting me by saying “these are within our guidelines”. Basically fraudsters. Avoid

Oh for a piece of bubble wrap!

Like availability. Dislike having to chase up despatch. Very dissatisfied with packaging. Putting a cassette tape on top of a gatefold album without additional packaging in between was looking for trouble…..so now the cover has a rectangular imprint! Could only get a replacement by returning first, but that would not work as it was a birthday present.
Just seems a little amateurish.
