I have never witnessed such a terrible company
By Zico B.
Purchased a product from the Sam Fender store, paid for in June with a dispatch date due of 28th June, beginning of August and still no fulfilment of the product so I queried with customer services. 10th August, was informed that the item was being prepared to be shipped within 2 days. I'm still waiting for the fulfilment email (and obviously the actual product) now radio silence on the email query thread.

I bought merch at a Taylor Swift show and traded with a friend. The line was long and the transaction happened fast, so I didn’t realize until I got home that my item I got from her was faded to the point of being mostly illegible (beyond the normal “faded” look). I contacted UMG customer service, gave them the original purchaser’s information, but they did not help me because I wasn’t the original buyer. This was very frustrating because for a sweatshirt that expensive, I would expect at least decent quality. I know that lots of people traded/bought from others and had proof of purchase, and it’s not cool that so many people are having issues with such pricey, yet cheaply made garments. I was hoping for an easy replacement but UMG just says they can’t help. Reading the other poor reviews validates my experience.

Preordered Taylor Swift Midnights vinyl. It’s now a month after the release date and no sign of delivery, customer service is useless. I will never preorder vinyl from them again.

This company are useless, having been dealing with them under Sound of Vinyl for several years . If you pre-order a vinyl and your payment card changes from when you placed the order - ( have waited 19 months for one pre order!) obviously the payment doesn’t go through, they just cancel your order !! So you then don’t & can’t get the limited edition vinyl you ordered. You cannot update your payment options in your account. You can’t speak to anyone & the internet contact option is painful & useless : I have closed my account & will never deal with them again. All the vinyl I have bought has been available & cheaper elsewhere!!
