Still have not received the Olivia Rodrigo vinyl I bought for my daughter. I am very disappointed, but not nearly as much as she is. No communication from store or Royal Mail. When complained was told to wait 14 DAYS! Would not recommend.

Overall the experience was a good one

Overall the experience with HMV was a positive one. Ordering, emails when it was available and delivery were great. My only gripe was between ordering and it being available there was no information on delivery schedule. Would order again from HMV

Great for ordering products to collect from store and helpful staff

I prefer to order what I can from HMV rather than using the likes of Amazon. Never had any issues with ordering to collect from the Liverpool store and the staff are always extremely helpful.
