Just what's supposed to happen. You buy something, HMV sends it out on time, with no fuss. The big plus is, unlike some other well known sites, when you make a purchase on HMV, you don't get 10 emai... See more

Great Products & Service

Wide selection of bluray & 4k bluray movies, some of which were not available on other sites. Delivery was on time & well packaged. I'll definitely use HMV again.

I went to HMV in Manchester to buy a dvd boxset of the Invaders, a 1960s American tv show. I'd seen it secondhand in CEX, they wanted 29.99 for theirs. So I went to HMV and got it new for 24.99. They didnt have it in store, but ordered it for me. I picked it up from the store three days later. There was no delivery charge, and I was kept notified by email about when it was coming and when it arrived. The staff in the store were also very professional.

Got what was ordered

Correct item in correct colour arrived reasonably promptly. It was well packaged. The item hasn't been opened or used yet, but it's clearly genuine OEM and sealed.

I love visiting the Worthing store

I love visiting the Worthing store, the staff are so friendly and very helpful. It is lovely to have a laugh with them and it never seems a burden to interrupt them all staff are willing to assist.
Hope the store continues to stay open, well done to all who work in store.

Item arrived well packaged.

Item arrived well packaged.
My only critique is that why can't the new pre orders be delivered to arrive on release day? They always arrive the day after.

I got the product I wanted easily.

I got the product I wanted easily by asking in store for them to order it for me. They kept me updated by email and I collected it 3 days later which was fine by me.
