Most horrible customer service , lost my phone order and nobody seems to take responsibility

Absolutely shocking , lost my £500 phone and customer service has been absolutely horrible. It took ages and 20+ mails to get my own money back . Honestly, I cannot believe how bad this has been.
I ordered a Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra from musicMagpie because I thought they were a trusted, well-known company.And it was big mistake . They mentioned the phone will be delivered within two days , and the phone was sent with Royal Mail Tracked 48 and then just disappeared in transit. Tracking stopped, and it never even out for delivery, never attempted, and never delivered.

Most horrible part is , they do not have any direct contact , no direct mail to put urgent customer queries . They do not know how to deal and escalate with urgent requests .

After sending so many mails , someone from customer service told me to check with neighbours and people in my household. For what exactly? The tracking clearly showed the parcel had not even made it to delivery. It felt like nobody had even bothered reading the tracking before replying.

The customer service is honestly one of the worst I have dealt with. Replies are slow, generic, and most of them feel like AI-generated or copy-and-paste responses. Every time I contact them, I get another vague message saying they are “looking into it” or that they need to wait for Royal Mail. Nobody takes responsibility, nobody properly escalates the issue, and nobody gives a clear answer about when I will actually get my money back.

They have openly admitted the phone is missing in transit, but I was still the one left waiting. I did not choose their courier. I did not lose the parcel. I never received the phone. Yet I am expected to wait weeks while they do an “investigation” with Royal Mail before they refund me.

I needed the phone urgently and had no choice but to buy another phone. So now I am out of pocket because musicMagpie lost my order and cannot sort it out properly.

For a company selling expensive phones, this is absolutely unacceptable. If you are thinking of buying anything costly from them, be careful. If something goes wrong, do not expect fast replies, proper support, or anyone to take responsibility.

Ordered 2 CDs

Ordered 2 CDs. I know they’re used, but one had a cracked case and was very grubby. The other was very sticky on the front case. I’ve purchased CDs from them before,& all was good.
I probably won’t use them again.

Sent me a phone that didn’t work

Sent me a phone that didn’t work. I asked for a refund of which they repaired the phone and sent it back to me. I emailed multiple times of which they take days to reply. I have now been told it’s over 30 days so can’t issue a refund however I did send it back prior to this.

No other way to contact them at all except a chat bot or email. Still unresolved over 2 months later, it’s an awful company to deal with. Would avoid and shop elsewhere.

Returned my phone with a destroyed back

I sent my phone in for a trade in and was given a low reviewed price saying the back was cracked. I declined it and told them to send the phone back. It arrived today and I cried! They had smashed the back so they won't pay and I couldn't take it elsewhere. Meanwhile, it took them about 3 weeks to confirm they had received it even though I sent it with Evri in a bubbled envelope, so we can't say it was damaged via posting. If you can hand your phone in, in person, do it.

Do not buy from this outfit

Do not buy from this outfit! I bought an Apple Watch which tracked Royal Mail said was delivered, it never arrived & there was no photographic evidence of delivery either. MM chose to believe them not me tho and have refused me a refund or replacement, so I am both out of pocket & have no watch. Beware!!
