Staff training required for decent customer service
Back on the 1st of October I pre-ordered the Bryan Ferry Bête Noire 2 cd, which despite being available in the store on the day of release on the 14th November for a customer to buy, wasn't available for me to pick up in the same hmv outlet.
There also seemed to be a communication problem between staff in the store and the person at the other end of the telephone in the sales dept for hmv who between them, could not explain why this had happened. I strongly suspect my order wasn't processed correctly back in October with my money already taken.
I was eventually able to pick up the CDs four days later and I am very pleased with them.
However, the lack of explanation and the grabbing at straws for a 'reason' for the delay, namely; "a lorry could have turned over or anything could have happened" told to me by an hmv sales assistant, was a very unprofessional way to deal with the incompetence.
Based on the above experience, I am highly unlikely to pre-order with hmv again which is a shame, as I would like to support high street shops such as hmv. But when they don't deliver what they promise and staff are clueless to provide an explanation other than a made up scenario as aforementioned, why should I bother?

Dear Peter,
Thanks for your review,
We are sorry to hear that your order did not reach the store, ready for you to collect in time for its intended release date. Please be advised that although we do dispatch our pre-orders with the aim of a release date delivery, we are regrettably unable to guarantee this. It is, however, unusual that an order is not received by the release date, and for this, we offer our apologies.
