I bought suede's new album in basildon store which was £24:99 , didn't realise i was charged 28:99 until I got home? Don't know why, thinking it was deliberate overcharge.

So helpful in Basildon Store
The young lady in the Basildon store was very helpful when I asked about the DVD I wanted to buy. She advised it would take 5 working days to be delivered. It arrived a week later, even with the Easter holiday in between ordering and arrival.

Visiting HMV Basildon.
When I visited the HMV store at Eastgate Basildon on 3/3/26, to pickup a dvd which I had pre ordered I was served by Shawn. He was very helpful and pleasant, as I find all of the staff in store. I will be visiting again in the future I am certain. Janet Hursey
