You get one star because you let me know it might be delivered (by An Post). The missing 4 stars are because it hasn't arrived. However, I've learned, to never ever make a so-called 'Black Friday purc... See more

Support independent music

How Irish music is recorded, preserved and shared, item was slightly delayed due to unforeseen circumstances, was worried that TD Niall "forty names" Collins had it in his car.

I still don’t have my order

I still don’t have my order. I don’t find this very satisfying at all. I made my purchase 26th December and nothing has been updated since 4th January with no delivery to date.

Missing Items

I ordered my items 2 months ago and haven't received them. Have sent several email but the last 2 this week have remained unanswered. Don't know where my items are and it was quite a large order.

Shocking service

Shocking service. Ordered an album Christmas day. Presumed they'd be closed for the holidays but the website didn't mention anything extended and said shipping was 1-2 biz days. Checked in via email to get an automated response that they were closed till Jan 2nd. Still no word on shipping. Contacted twice on website form and two emails with zero responses. They don't have a phone number on their website. Showed shipped on the 4th but only that they'd notified an post! It stayed that way for another 11 days at which point I contacted the bank to reverse the payment. I received the record the very next day. The day after receipt I got an email to say there was a delay in the shipment! Disaster and waiting 3 weeks was unacceptable. And ignoring emails when it's the only point of contact is also unacceptable. Will never order from here again and wouldn't recommend it!

Non existent customer service

I had a problem with an order before Christmas. I got a prompt response and was assured that the order was dispatched and would be delivered before Christmas. It wasn't and has never arrived. My real issue is the fact that my numerous emails have gone unanswered. I have just received automated responses that someone will be in contact soon. The order was processed on Dec 12th. I have ordered previously from this site without any issues.
