I don’t generally buy from HMV but I was given a gift card for my birthday when I finally went in there to buy something two of my favourite bands had released albums so I picked up the Yes album Aurora and went to get the Hawkwind album Psychedelic selection but disaster they didn’t have it in the shop but the lady behind the counter said I could order it which she did two days later I picked it up from the shop
I found the service to be quick and efficient it is definitely worth a trip to see them

Hello Bradley
Thanks for your review,
We are sorry to hear that your hmv.com order did not reach our store ready for collection in time for the items' 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.
Beth was very helpful
Beth was very helpful, friendly and nothing was too much trouble. My item wasn't in and it was for my nephew's birthday and she ensured that this would be delivered before his birthday.

Great and easy ordering system
I ordered a blu ray to be delivered to the Southend on sea store.
The girl was very helpful and friendly.
After only 3 days I was notified via email that my order was ready for collection. Very happy, will use again.
