Personal touch, from physical shop to digital..

I am very much a brick 'n' mortar shop guy when it comes to buying physical media. I buy all of my brand new purchases from Fopp in Glasgow, where staff member Lukan is particularly knowledgeable and friendly. On this occasion two of the movie titles I was looking for were only available online via HMV's warehouse. They ordered them for me, to be delivered to my home. What I most liked it that HMV sent it Royal Mail 48hr Tracked. Meaning I knew exactly when it was coming, could change the delivery date or even redirect it to a neighbour. Excellent fast service!

What made my experience great was on…

What made my experience great was on 27th June 2026 the special album Westlife 25 was back in stock & ready for me to collect, nearly gave up hope i would get it, wanted to collect myself because it was cheaper than being delivered
Got the special album Fri 3rd July 2026 didn't want it to be sent back
I ordered the album on 22nd May 2026, waited long enough
haven't been to hmv for years to get a cd or album, glad the store is still around 👍🏻

Purchased the new Madonna vinyl yesterday 03/07/26 at 1.50pm at the Harrogate branch, and Jamie T. served me and he is always such a pleasure to see, and is always super helpful, always asking if he can help you purchase any other good and is very good at upselling too. Such a great joy to visit this store, and everybody is always so helpful. Regards Darren P
