I got a great deal

I was looking for a reasonably priced record player for an elderly aunts birthday present. I got exactly what I was looking for at a substantially lower price than some of the big name stores that you find in retail parks. Delivery was really fast. Great service all round.

Great PlaceTo Music Shop

My Cd arrived on time and was really well packaged. I discovered Chalky's firstly through their ebay shop,but then found their website which I now use as well. Their website has a smart retro look and is really easy to navigate and use. Their customer service is really good too. Prices are always good as well and they often have exclusive editions of albums/CDs you an't get anywhere else. It's like a great independant record store, but online.They have a mix of pre-orders and curent albums and legacy relaeses as well.They keep you updated on your orders as well. Searching for music on their site is really easy as well. A great place to buy from for sure

Best value in the UK

As usual, Chalkys provided the best value in the UK, delivered promptly and safely. Think I've bought 5 CDs and 2 albums from them already this year, with great service each time. What more do you want?
