Thunder live CD

Clear, easy to order and it arrived two days after release-date. Great Thunder CD - it was pre-ordered and a much appreciated late Christmas present. Thank you🙏

Amazing customer service

Amazing customer service! I ordered my mum a Jimmy Somerville bundle for christmas, but was accidentally sent the wrong t shirt colour. I reached out to request an exchange at the busiest time of the year and they replied incredibly quickly letting me know they had sent the correct t shirt right away! The team also kindly offered me to keep the original tshirt which came as a gesture of good will. I was blown away by their prompt action and kindness, such a thoughtful team who clearly care about their customers!

The quality of the record is really bad

The quality of the record is really poor so was the packaging,I paid extra for a limited edition candy wrapped vinyl. only comparing this to other vinyls I buy. I was also seriously annoyed that I had to buy Kylie Minogue‘s single for her new hit Xmas and it not be on the fully wrapped album.

Hi,

Thank you for providing your comments, although we are sorry to hear this.

We can't seem to locate your order from the information provided on your review, and we sent a request via Trust Pilot for your order details so that our team can resolve any issues, but there's been no reply to the request for information.

Sadly, as we aren't the manufacturer nor the label, it is not in our control which tracks are included on the vinyl.

We are surprised to hear your comments about the packaging used, as we pride ourselves on the quality of our packaging materials which have been vigorously tested to ensure items arrive to their destination safely.

We strongly recommend you reach out to our Customer Service team by replying to your Order Confirmation email for them to see what can be done to help.

Regards,
TM Stores

BUYER BEWARE!!

BUYER BEWARE!!! This seller advertises records that are not in stock, doesn’t tell you this before ordering and there has been no contact from the seller since ordering. This is m second review, my first seems to have been deleted! Ordered 3 vinyl LPs on Dec 8th as Christmas gifts. It is now January 8th and absolutely nothing, no vinyl, no contact - nothing! BEWARE!!! I would purchase from another seller - a reliable one who honours their orders. A complete waste of time. Shame on you, like a lot of people nowadays, you just want peoples money

Hi Mike,

We are so sorry to hear the comments you've provided.

Since providing your 2 reviews (none of which have been deleted), our Head of Customer Service has reached out to you via email on 14th January, 16th January, and 20th January, but to date we haven't received a response from you. We really hope you reply to our emails as we want to make sure you're happy with our service.

Upon checking your order, I see we've sent items via Royal Mail which are tracked as delivered.

Some items are sold on a drop ship service, meaning we need to order these in from the supplier to fulfil each order placed, and sometimes it can take time for the stock to reach us, but this information should be available to you in your account to see estimated dispatch dates.

Again we hope you respond to our team's emails so we can try to ensure you are happy with our company.

Regards,
TM Stores

Good service/Very slow delivery

Have ordered numerous times from Townsend Music and never had any problems with delivery. But since I live orverseas most of the times delivery is very slow. Since postage is very expensive I expect delivery to be faster. Other sites have same postage costs and delivery is much faster as they send it by courier. I do not know why but Townsend Music charges 3 times as much for order to be sent by courier. I am still waiting for an order to arrive and it was dispatched on the 10th December. That is 20 days and still waiting.

I have upgraded my rating to 4 stars
Finally my order arrived and today I received a reply from TM regarding my earlier review.

Hi John,

Thank you for your review.

I am sorry to hear that your order was taking a lot longer than usual. As the Christmas period is very busy, sometimes this reflects negatively on the shipping time.

Great services form an enthusiastic team!

As usual ordered my music with Townsend Music and this time the local Dutch parcel delivery lost the package.
But the quick reaction of Townsend Music assured the delivery by sending again and in time before Xmas.

Hi Grace,

We are so sorry to hear the comments you've provided, our customer service team have received no contact from you to know you needed our help.

Since providing your review, our Head of Customer Service has reached out to you via email on 14th January, 16th January, and 20th January, but to date we haven't received a response from you.

Our team are more than happy to help if given the opportunity.

I am happy to hear that your first order you placed had no issues and sounds to be a 5 out of 5 service, but it is a shame you've felt so let down with the second order that you have rated us 1 star.

We really hope you reply to our emails as we want to make sure you're happy with our service, and I'm confident that we can turn around your opinion back to the same as it was on your first order.

We look forward to your reply to our emails.

Good Communication & Resolution of Missing Items

My experiences with TownsendMusic have always been good, having ordered from them (and artist shop-fronts hosted by them) a few times over the years both when living in UK and now in Canada.

I pre-ordered the CD & vinyl record versions of Levellers re-release of Zeitgeist a while back; upon dispatch it got lost in the Canadian post and diverted off to US (such is the efficacy of Canada Post), and they immediately replied back to me and arranegd the replacement, which managed to successfully arrive a few days later.

I pre-ordered 2 tshirts

I pre-ordered 2 tshirts, to be dispatched 14 November, didn't get sent. Tried contacting them, no reply, then got email 2 weeks later with new tshirt design and different release date. Eventually asked for refund, which is still pending in my account.
Poor communication, wouldn't recommend this company.

Hi,

Thank you for providing your comments, although we are sorry to hear this.

We can't seem to locate your order from the information provided on your review, and we sent a request via Trust Pilot for your order details so that our team can resolve any issues, but there's been no reply to the request for information.

We do aim to reply to all emails receiving within 1 working day, there should be no reason for you to not receive a reply, but without your contact information we can't pinpoint when any contact has been made from you.

Release dates or product design changes are not in the control of TM Stores, this is a manufacturer/label decision, but we really would like to speak with you to resolve any issues you have.

Please reach out to our Customer Service team by replying to your Order Confirmation email and the team will do all they can to help.

Extortionate shipping, incredibly slow dispatch

Townsend Music consider 2 weeks after purchase with no contact acceptable dispatch time. Ordered some products from Feeder, which is dealt with and processed by Townsend music. Shipping was over £7 for 4 small cassettes. 48 Hours tracked (should be closer to £3 or £4)

A week later, they haven't even dispatched the order. Edit: After reaching out, they promised the product would be dispatched on Friday last week. It still hasn’t been and they’re not replying to the support ticket.

Edit 2: They finally dispatched a week after promising it would go same day. They refunded shipping after I complained about the service. They think that this means I should give them a good review.

Hi,

Thank you for providing your comments.

We have looked into this information provided and can confirm that this order was shipped out within our dispatch timescale, and has been delivered within the timescale set by Royal Mail for delivery. I also see that our Customer Service Team also provided a partial refund as a goodwill gesture, but this all appears to have been completed in time.

Our Head of Customer Service has tried to contact you by email on 10th December, 12th December, and on 16th December, but we are yet to receive a response.

Any time you need any help or have any questions on our processes, our Customer Service Team are more than happy to help.
