The vinyl arrived promptly after dispatch notification. The plastic sleeve was split on 2 sides probably due to vinyl rattling around in box during transit but vinyl not damaged at all.

Feeder LP - RSD

Quick delivery and overall good service as normal from Townsend but the packaging was poor on this occasion with the record able to move within the packaging resulting in splits on 3 of the 4 sides of the plastic sleeve of the picture disc

I have ordered a few things from Townsend Music and they never fail to deliver. Always delivered in perfect condition and on time, every time. Ordering process is very easy and straightforward. They are my number 1 go to for cd's. Always excellent service, and great prices. I honestly can't praise them enough. No need to go anywhere else.

4 different albums i have pre ordered vinyls or CD's for from Townsend music and all 4 have been delayed/pushed back. It's a shame upcoming bands use Townsend as even the bands become frustrated with them. Always the same excuses too. And massively inflated postage prices. Very poor service

Hi,

We are sorry to hear these comments, and we note that there's no order information to give specific information. We have requested more information via Trust Pilot but no response was received.

Delays of items are rare, and could be down to multiple factors, such as release date changes which isn't in our control as we don't set these.

We would really like to speak to you regarding your experience, please reach out to our Customer Service team by replying to your Order Confirmation email so that we can provide order-specific comments.

Best Customer Service!!

I had an issue with my delivery (at fault of royal mail) and Veronika from customer service was lovely and assisted with the issue, promptly sending out a new shipment and refunding my postage cost. Some of the best customer service I have experienced

Excellent Customer service

I ordered a LP and it arrived damaged (the package was a bit destroyed during the transport). The customer service has sent me a new one in perfect shape for free.

Excellent customer service

Placed an order for 4 items that were despatched in 3 packages, unfortunately 1 package was damaged upon receipt. This damaged the poster inside. I reported this and asked if it was possible for a replacement to be sent. I received a prompt positive reply and a perfect poster arrived in a couple of days. I was kept informed about the replacement and the despatch date which was very helpful. A friendly and professional service which was much appreciated.

The Customer Service work is excellent

The Customer Service work is excellent. I received the damaged item in the first place, reported it right away and sent photos of the damage. People from TCS reacted very quickly and few days later I received another copy, this time in mint condition. That's how Customer Services all around the world should do their job... it's rare these days. Thank You, best regards!
