Beth was very helpful, friendly and nothing was too much trouble. My item wasn't in and it was for my nephew's birthday and she ensured that this would be delivered before his birthday.

Hello Bradley
Thanks for your review,
We are sorry to hear that your hmv.com order did not reach our store ready for collection in time for the items' intended release date. Please be advised that although we do dispatch our pre-orders with the aim of a release date delivery, we are regrettably unable to guarantee this. It is, however, unusual that an order is not received by the release date, and for this, we offer our apologies.
