I ORDERED 5 CDS THRU THIS COMPANY. PAID FOR AIR SHIP. ORDER WAS PUT ON A BOAT AND IS TAKING 2 MONTHS TO REACH ME IN HAWAII.
I WOULDN'T EVEN GIVE MY PLAY DIRECT ONE STAR. INCOMPETANT HORRIBLE SERVICE.
NEVER AGAIN WILL I GO THRU THIS COMPANY!

My worst ever online retail experience!
Pathetic excuse for a company. I pre-ordered my product over a month in advance and was just fed a plethora of lies from start to finish. Finally ending in MPD telling me it was out of stock!?!
How can a product be out of stock & no longer available on pre-order?
Was this all just a long drawn out practical joke then? Because it definitely wasn't funny! I sent over 20 emails to customer service with everyone just promising me I would receive my product in 1-2 working days. 6 weeks later they finally admitted defeat and I was told my product wouldn't be arriving!
Complete set of Jokers. Avoid at all costs!!
Completely out of their depth and by the amount of people leaving similar reviews to me they should be terminated as a company. It's clearly a scam to hold people's money for interest.
Total scum!

PopMarket owes me a refund - did not ship the product
I bough the PopMarket July 9 Album Subscription Bundle 1. I received the 1st shipment but not the 2nd or 3rd. I worked with Kevin Rey and returned the 1st shipment sealed and am still waiting for my refund. I was told my refund was processed but after following up with them they changed to their story to "checking with the billing department" After several weeks of requesting an update they have stopped responding. Worst online transaction ever.

Worst purchase in 30 years of collecting records is this really Sony.
I contacted Myplay to notify them my package had not arrived they responded as follows.
Hello john,
I am really sorry to hear your shipment hasn't arrived yet. The most likely reason for the delay is that it's been held up at customs and will simply arrive later than estimated. Another possibility is that it's at your local post office, but delivery is delayed because of customs related formalities. We suggest you contact your local post office to see if it's there.
You may provide this reference # to your local post office, TNT Post UK International 000502815701961870. Please take note this is not a tracking #.
If your order doesn't turn up, please let us know.
No effort on their behalf to track it and no Tracking Number. So I got on the phone (I live in Ireland) checked with my post office, checked with TNT Ireland, TNT U.K and TNT Holland they had no idea what the reference number I was given was for. So I emailed them back
Hi Hazel,
I have checked with my local post and it turns out they don't handle TNT post. I contacted TNT Ireland and the number you gave me is not valid on their system. They need a booking number or reference number, shipping date would also be helpful.
They item that was sent to me is a limited edition piece of only 200. This is alarming me at the moment that no one knows the where abouts of my parcel. I would like to here back from you before 4 pm today as TNT Ireland will be closed until next Tuesday as this weekend is a Bank Holiday in Ireland. You could ring me on +35386720770 as well.
Regards
John

Hello john,
We're very sorry for the inconvenience. Unfortunately, we cannot get in touch with TNT to locate your parcel since we do not have a dedicated phone line to make outgoing calls. We would be glad to reship your order of the Northern Soul Fan Bundle ***SOLD OUT***. For us to be sure that we are sending the order to the correct address, please take a look below and respond to this e-mail with any corrections you may have.
Important to note at this point THEY HAVE NO PHONES to ring out.
I replied,
Hi Angela,
Thanks for getting back to me. Please re-ship and please insure to send the Northern Soul Fan Bundle. Can you let me know you when you ship the details you have for me are all correct. So far this hasn't been a pleasant shopping experience I hope you can put this right asap. Please keep me informed of what is going on with my order.
Regards
John

Hello john,
We're very sorry as I have checked for the replacement with our warehouse, the Northern Soul Fan Bundle ***SOLD OUT*** is no longer available and it doesn't look like we'll be receiving additional inventory any time soon.
Since we can't fulfill your order we had no choice but to process a full refund to our account.
We've processed your refund on October 24, 2014. The amount and transaction ID are as follows
Amount: XXX.29 EUR
You should see the refund on our next account statement. If you have any further questions we suggest you contact your bank with the information above.
Again we're very sorry for the inconvenience. We would have much preferred to fulfill your order.
Sincerely,
Hazel
Only now has the sold out status been recognized by the staff at Myplay.
I replied,
Hi Hazel,
This is just awful, you never thought to ask me weather I wanted a different package? You have more than one. All that said you will have one Northern Soul Fan Bundle ***SOLD OUT*** in stock very soon My one is getting returned by TNT or is it..
You have been very quick to dismiss my order without research and with no proof of post. Why would you tell me to check my local post office and then send a refund 2 days later. I guess like I suspected last week it wasn't sent at all.
I have been collecting records for over 30 years now this was my first time using Myplay Direct it will certainly be my last I can't believe Sony are a part of this. This has definitely been one of my worst record buying experiences ever. I would never recommend you to anyone.
John
I don't expect anything further from them. I got through to someone on facebook but when it got tricky they just said check your email. I did ring the Sony office in London as they are the same company same building and they refused to put me through to anyone.

Fantastic service, that's quick and easy!!
I ordered Olly Murs new album then moved house and I was really worried about it because I believe I wouldn't be able to change my address. I was so wrong!! With only one email I was able to voice my concerns and with 3 hours I had a reply! The agent solved my problem and I am extremely happy with the service I received today and I will defiantly use this service again because it's reliable and friendly!!

Fantastic service, easy and prompt replies!
Transaction was super smooth and easy with no troubles. When I had a query, I contacted them via email and always got replies in under 24 hrs. (name) from the team in particular, answered all of my queries explaining EXACTLY what was going on and all the options I had to choose from. I am very pleased with the service. Will be purchasing from you guys in the future for sure.

Real Bad Service!!!
We ordered a Miles Davis - The Cellar Door Sessions 1970 box at PopMarket/MyPlayDirect at Oct 8, until now our shiping status did not change. We were contacted at Oct 16, by Mr. Santiago via email, and he just wrote what we allready knew. After that we did not receive any other contact from this company! In our receipt is writen that they had the product in stock and it would be shipped in maximun in 2 working days! We bought many times in the internet, always from european web sites, we NEVER had a problem. This is the FIRST time we order from USA!!! This company is a shame to the country! We hope they find a solution to our problem, as soon as possible, and change our minds. But reading the reviews here our hope is going away. Many bad reviews and the good ones seems like came directly from the inside of this company! Do not recomend to anybody!

We receive an email from Mr. Raul Santiago. That says:
Unfortunately Miles Davis - The Cellar Door Sessions 1970 is currently on back order and we don't have an estimated ship date in our system. As soon as we have the information regarding your shipping status we will update the website.
Impossible to read that after 15 days of my order.
Mr. Raul Santiago you it is a crime to sell something you do not have?
I have a receipt saying that the product was IN STOCK, and will arrive in my adress until november 6. Be professional and instead of given me a new stupid excuse, work hard and solve my problem.

Mr Kevin Rey wrotes:
We understand your frustration and we really apologize if we could not send your order (Miles Davis - The Cellar Door Sessions 1970) as was initially provided. We would have much wanted to fulfill your order on time.
I have set up your file to priority and forwarded it to management to know when your order will ship. We will email you back once we receive a response. In the meantime you will receive a ship confirmation email once your order ships.
ANYTHING SOLVED YET, LET'S SEE IF THEY REALLY HAVE A MANAGER AND IF HE/SHE KNOWS HOW TO DO HIS/HER JOB!
26/10/2014 12:20
One more week passed and you did not sent me any solution for my problem. Mr. Kevin Rey said that my problem was with the manager allready. But I think this was one more lie from you, or your manager just ignore the clients.
This CD box is a birthday present. Please have a litle bit of respect and solve my problem. Be human, and treat your client like human. With you seems like we talk with machines that send automatic answers!!!
03/11/2014
No answers, they really do not have a manager!!!! Lost my patience an d cancelled my order!!! The news: they do not confirmate my cancel, neither by email or in my account!
THIS SERVICE IS THE WORST EVER.
Everything you write will be posted here to everybody see how you and your company works.
NEVER BUY FROM Myplaydirect or Popmarket!!! Even if it is the product of your dreams!!! You will never receive it!!! You can not cancel!!! They ignore you!!! Unfortunatelly I can not what this guys are with polite words!!!!
Do not believe the good rewies they come directly from the inside of this fake company!!!!!

very happy with all of their help
I had some issues with my order for a music album. After ordering I realized I provided wrong contact number and probably wrote the address in wrong format. i was very worried that if my order will not reach on time/on my address. I contacted the MyPlayDirect Support and they helped me through. It took over 4 e-mail. They were really quick with response and help.
I feel relieved now and I am very thankful to MyPlayDirect.
