Thieves!

Thieves. I ordered a CD and a vinyl album through Amazon. Only one tracking number provided. CD in a jiffy bag which couldn’t possibly accommodate a vinyl album. Both items are showing as delivered. These theives have stolen my money and are not to be trusted. Avoid.

Ordered 4 separate CDs, all of which arrived promptly.
Having carried out a quick on-line search for each CD, you were the best priced each time.

Love Chalkys

Love that there's free delivery on all UK orders. Pre-order new releases and shipped to arrive on day of release (in this case, Madonna's Confessions II CD). Competitive prices too. Also love not having to buy from Amazon. Chalkys all the way for me!

Hi Archie,
We are truly sorry for the delay with one of the items in your order and for not communicating this to you sooner. We experienced unexpected stock issues due to high demand, which unfortunately impacted the dispatch of some orders. We understand how frustrating this must have been and we're actively working to improve our communication and stock management to prevent this from happening again. We appreciate your understanding and hope to provide a much smoother experience in the future.

Products late, refused full refund

I ordered products from Chalky’s as a birthday present for a family member. The Chalky’s website states clearly says that products will be delivered within 3 to 5 working days.

Two weeks later, I still don’t have the products and Chalky’s is refusing a full refund including return postage costs (when the products actually reach me!).

I have had to order products from elsewhere as a replacement birthday present. That retailer delivered next day.

The delivery times stated on the Chalky's website are clearly misleading and their customer service is poor.

My suggestion is that you use a different, better e-commerce retailer.
