Terrible customer service.
Over the past 6 months I've had to return 6 vinyl albums back to my lo store for exchange or refund.
The last time I was offered a gift card refund eben though I bought the original lps on my credit card. I 've been in contact with customer services about all my issues and they have been very unhelpful. This has put me off shopping again with HMV although I have to now because of my giftcard. I feel I have been treated very badly.

I ordered a gift that didn’t arrive until Christmas in time but was available in store
I ordered a gift that didn’t arrive until Christmas Eve. The same gift I ordered online was in store, I wasn’t allowed to take that in place of the the order I was still waiting for, so I paid for the gift on the shop floor rather than disappoint my daughter. When the gift did arrive, I explained that the gift was no longer needed as I bought the same item that was already in store. In store, They said i needed to post the item back to HMV. I said i would not send this back if I am bearing the cost of postage. They said that they would speak to their manager and arrange for this to be returned to HMV and that I would need to wait for at least 2 weeks for a refund. If an item is in store that I ordered online and not received, I think there needs to be a process more aligned to just swap and HMV manage the swap out so that I am not out of pocket for weeks. The store was BASILDON and the lady that advised me is called Julia/Jules. Your order 1089863. I look forward to receiving my refund of £29.99 in due course.
