Best service ever.

You really have the best service ever.
I sent the package to a friend who was in TX, he never recive the package and came back to Argentina.
I told my problem to your operator and they told that they gonna send the package again. I ask if it can be delivered to a friend house in Washington DC, but my friend was moving at the time so they recommend me to wait that my friend finish his move and then they will send my the package.
So now its time and im sending the package to my friend.

Truly thank you for all!
Sorry for my english.

EXCEPTIONAL CUSTOMER SERVICE

MyPlayDirect provided exceptional customer service on my recent preorder of the new Zac Brown Band album. Their thoughtfulness and ability to handle my customer service request was incredible and I would be delighted to deal with them again. In particular Chris and Kevin were great to work with. Thank you to MyPlayDirect for your understanding during my issue and for resolving it in a timely and efficient manner.

Amazing customer service!

I received an LP bundle that did not meet my expectations. I sent an e-mail to the customer service department , who within two hours, proceeded to blow my mind. I have seldom had such an excellent online buying experience. I will continue to shop here and recommend them to all my friends.

Download code issue

The mp3 download code that was included in the Paul Simon vinyl album did not work. A couple of hours after my message to your customer service I received a link that solved the problem.
So everything went perfect and I would like to thank everyone (especially Kevin!) for helping me out so fast.

Thanks a lot!!!!!

The best experience I've ever made

I bought a few items in the asap mob store and everything was perfect except for one thing. A shirt was damaged, so they sent me a new one, for FREE. Since the replacement was damaged to (I am not mad about, it mistakes happen sometimes), I got a refund of my whole money immediately!

The customer service is the nicest and kindest I've ever seen in my life. I had lots of questions and became a detailed answer to every single question, and that within just a few hours!

I am very very satisfied with the service and the items too. I am a big fan of Asap Rocky and now of the shop which sells his merch!

I will visit your store with pleasure again! Thank you!

Restricted view on iPhone

Using my iPhone. Survey options viewed in landscape mode best; portrait view cuts off half of buttons. At first I thought it odd top option was "Neutral" button only. Next question: 3 stars only viewable. Landscape mode showed 5 star option so I went back and corrected view on satisfaction question and finished survey in landscape view. (Also the screen didn't float to show 5 stars when in portrait view.) Thanks

AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE

PLEASE NOTE - Apparently MyPlayDirect is reporting negative reviews and asking TrustPilot to flag them for removal. THE FOLLOWING IS A REAL AND ACCURATE AND DETAILED description of what I ACTUALLY EXPERIENCED with MyPlayDirect and if TrustPilot archives it then they are DELIBERATELY aiding and abetting a company in swindling their customers. TrustPilot removed this review because they alleged that I did not provide my proof of purchase viz->Order Number. When I attempted to update the order number on the review I WAS NOT ALLOWED THE OPTION TO DO SO and then they pulled the review claiming that it was defamatory and without saying WHAT is defamatory. I DEFY TRUSTPILOT TO TELL ME **EXACTLY** WHAT THEY OBJECT TO IN THIS COMPLETELY ACCURATE AND DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF WHAT I EXPERIENCED WITH THIS COMPANY. If they are unable to do so, then this review SHOULD REMAIN IN PLACE.

(update 4/17/15)

---

TL;DR - When MyPlayDirect sells merchandise, officially licensed, for a band or a movie or a TV show, for any entertainment entity, they become the ambassador for that brand to the customer, to the fans. This is the worst possible choice any brand can make - associating themselves with a company that doesn't care about the fans to the point that they actively work to destroy the relationship between the fan and the brand they are trying to support.

----
On July 29, 2014 I placed my order with MyPlayDirect. In that time my order has been delayed again and again, I have been lied to repeatedly - to the point that it is routine and expected, and I have been robbed of over six months of my life all so that this company can keep paying teenagers in Indonesia to field angry tweets. Seriously. Teenagers in Indonesia - that is who is answering your tweets and emails. They have a phone number but they won't give it to you. They will lie to you and claim to have no incoming or outgoing phone capabilities. And maybe the basement troll teens in Indonesia don't have a phone number, but someone does and they will admit it if you call them out on it. But they won't give you the number.

I ordered two t-shirts. Shirts. The kind that, if they would send me the design, I could have custom printed and in my possession in a matter of days. Possibly hours. But for them, they are getting off well and good on NOT shipping them for the better part of a YEAR.

They not ONCE proactively communicated with me about the delays and the status of my order. Not. Once. When I noticed that the order status had changed and called attention to this, they seemed surprised that I expected them to actually COMMUNICATE to me about the status of my order. It does not seem unreasonable to me to expect an email notifying me of an update in my order status. You know, after SIX MONTHS of trying fruitlessly to get these people to communicate with me outside of copied and pasted form letters. They won't do it.

They have no managers, they have no supervisors. Nevermind that Sony Corp made over $7 trillion last year, they can't possibly afford to pay people to address the concerns of their customers and the fans of the brands that they represent. And they don't just represent their brands poorly. They are actively working to DESTROY fan relationships with the brands that they represent.

Look at the Trust Pilot website, for instance. As of this writing, of the 17 companies in the 'Entertainment' category which average 2 stars out of 5, MyPlayDirect has 137 reviews - the overwhelming majority of which were EXTREMELY negative. The next closest 2 star average company listed has only 56 reviews. It is also painfully obvious from the positive reviews for MyPlay Direct on TrustPilot that the overwhelming majority of those 5 star reviews are fabricated and were created by persons in the employ of MyPlay Direct or Sony Corp.

If the numbers don't speak for themselves and my experience does not deter or at least worry you, consider this - when something goes wrong with your order, you will have NO RECOURSE to escalate the situation. The best you'll be able to do is email them, maybe get a form letter response from an Indonesian teenager, and that's it. You won't be able to get the product you ordered, you won't be able to speak to a manager. There is no one at this company who cares about you as the customer or as the fan of the brand that they are representing.

I highly encourage any and all brands of quality who value their fanbase to immediately disassociate themselves from this travesty of a company. It is entirely peopled with thieves and liars and cheats. Worse yet, they are STILL fraudulently selling the products that they do not ship for over 6 months.

---

Update - They have now pushed back the estimated shipping and delivery date again, but without notifying me and without providing any kind of explanation. Up until today, they were fraudulently claiming that the products I have been waiting to receive for over half a year were "in stock" and would ship "in 1-2 business days". So either they HAD these items in stock and CHOSE to not ship them to me *OR* they NEVER had them in stock and were willfully committing FRAUD on their site. Either way, why would you want to have anything to do with these worthless "people"? I am STILL waiting for a response from this alleged "management".

The last time they delayed the shipping and delivery window, I told them that they were lying to me, that they would not deliver the items during that window. They "assured" me that the items would ship during that window. Yet here we are - I was right and they, of course, were lying to me. Just as they will lie to YOU and just as they will lie to ALL of their customers in their unrelenting mission to DESTROY the fanbase of each brand they sell for. As of today, they are estimating the items will ship to me, on the outside, 204 days after I placed my order.

We all know that there is no way they will deliver the items during that window. I would LOVE for them to prove me wrong, but they won't. They are lying now as they have been lying this ENTIRE TIME. They have never had any intention of shipping me these items and they don't care AT ALL about how bad this makes the parent company look in the meantime.

Update January 16 - After 70 days I was finally contacted by a manager. I spoke to Christine on the phone, manager of the email support team and received an explanation. The Pacific Rim shirts were never ordered - confirmation was never received from the vendor and up until I came in with a social media battering ram, the upper management hadn't bothered to investigate, in spite of the email support team passing along escalations. I told Christine she is not the problem and to pass word along to the upper management that this is not acceptable behavior. She at least understands the situation - and that was all I wanted. I wanted to speak to someone who could identify the issue, offer a reasonable explanation, and could CONFIRM that action was being taken to correct the situation.

So if you ordered a Pacific Rim shirt sometime in the past 6 months and you were wondering what happened - that is what happened and if you ever do receive your shirt(s), you're welcome for the assist in waking up the company. I'll update here if I ever do receive my shirts. I'm not hopeful that I will, but at least now I feel a lot better about the situation.

Thank you Christine, I hope you find a better job somewhere else.

February 3, 2015 - the shirts have finally arrived and they are AWESOME. Totally worth fighting for, but not something I should have had to fight over. I hope that MyPlayDirect steps up their game. They've got the business, now they need to deserve it. Clearly for too long they have ridden on the coattails of previous business connections and it hasn't occurred to them that they actually have to have people who can and will take action when things aren't running smoothly. They have a responsibility to their customers that they have not been fulfilling and the glaring failures need to end here.

So go ahead and order from them. If you get the product you ordered, it will probably be good quality. But if anything should go wrong... I recommend taking to Twitter and involving the brand that they are representing because they'll answer to that - they don't have a history of answering to their customers.

In the end I received my products - and free of charge - but it took over 6 months and would never have happened if I hadn't launched a full scale attack on all fronts.

Excellent customer service

I ordered 3 Donald Fagen LP's from POPmarket. The albums arrived promptly all the way from the US. Unfortunately there were faults with 2 of the albums and POPmarket very kindly replaced these promptly, even allowing me to keep the original ( albeit damaged ) albums.

Again I recieved the replacements promptly and one LP
was again faulty ( the same fault as original , so most likely a manufacturing issue ). Once again my query was dealt with promptly and on this occasion I accepted a refund which was immediately paid to my credit card.

On both occasions the albums were very well packaged.

In summary, although I had issues with the goods ordered,the customer service was excellent from start to finish and I would certainly use POPmarket again and would have no hesitations in recommending them.

Helpful with download despite third-party purchase

I bought a record from a third party, and the album's liner notes included a download link/code. When I went to retrieve it, I was unable to get the link to work. I was a little worried because I didn't buy the music directly from myplaydirect, but I got a very quick response with a new link that worked perfectly! All in all, I was very pleased with the help, especially considering I bought the record from somewhere else.

Great response

I received a damaged Ricky Martin poster , I contacted you and got a timely response. You very quickly sent me a new poster. I appreciate my dealings with you.

For future shipping please note , my poster would not have been damaged if the packer had not bent the tube the poster was in. My order came in a BIG box and if the tube would have been placed near the top of the box ( corner to corner ) there would have been room for it , instead they bent it to sit at the bottom ???

Totally impressed.

I am so happy with the customer service I received through this site. I ordered Black Messiah and received a damaged vinyl; I thought it was my record player that was causing the vinyl to skip on every song, but when I played another brand new vinyl it played perfectly. I was pretty bummed so I contacted customer service to see what my options were, especially since I already opened and played the vinyl. An agent named Chris responded within the same day and apologized, and let me know he placed another order (free of charge!) for a new Black Messiah vinyl, and even said that I didn't have to worry about sending back the defective copy. I received my new vinyl today (free 2-day shipping was included!!) and it works great. Thank you guys so much!! I am beyond satisfied and even surprised by the quality of the customer service I received.

Awful Company

Ordered a shirt in November, sent back for an exchange as my wife wanted a different size. One month later they sent me an email to say they no longer had the size requested, but not to worry, I wasnt going to be charged as it hasnt shipped yet. I informed them that i was already charged for the initial order and would like a refund. Entered into some weird groundhog day hell of emails where their only response was to tell me that i didnt need a refund since the item never shipped since it was out of stock. It is obvious they dont read emails, or are too stupid to actually process the information and respond with anything that isnt a template response. It should be telling that there is no phone number, almost always means the company has terrible customer service. Either way, I hate this company, and if you ever need anything from their customer service, there is a good chance you will too.
