    Forget about the poster - I'm still waiting for my HMV preorder of the CD to arrive! I only oredered it to have a chance at the SheBu farce but seeing as my 10C copy hasn't arrived either I'll take whatever arrives!

    I live in London, about 30 minutes away from HMV's head offices, and I worked for them for 5 years - was it something I said?!?

    Yep, I replied saying people had been offered £5/£3/£2 vouchers and I suggested they got together and offered a standardised monetary amount as this was further alienating their customer base. I ended by saying, once that was sorted out I'd accept the £5 voucher! :lol:

    Good for you, I checked who sent my email and it was from a different person to yours so it looks as though they just decided what they wanted to give.

  • Honestly, cock that! I would be PISSED if I was expecting a poster, was told afterwards that there was no poster, then saw the douche bags selling a "new" poster...I would find a new record shop.

    P.S. Thanks for the "new" term, Red Coats.

    Did you order another copy of Backspacer from 10C? If you did, I would send theirs back (they did say you could).... Say you are very unhappy with their service, you bought in good faith expecting the poster. When it comes to compensation you would expect a reputable company to be fair and offer the same to all those with the same complaint. As the goods are not what you expected (ie cd + poster), you will send the goods back (even if it has been opened - again in good faith as you were expecting the rest of your order) and you expect a prompt refund.

    If you want to bother with it. Even if you didn't order a 10C copy, rip the CD & get the free downloads (which I'm sure you already have!) and get another copy from Amazon or play....

    I think I'll try once more to get the fiver and if they still refuse I think I'll do exactly that.

    My reply was just that they were crediting me the £3 (so I guess it got me £1 more than originally offered) ... can get a copy of The Fixer vinyl or something ;)

    I got an email back from HMV yesterday, they say it was a mistake on their website and they don't have any posters.

    I can either send my CD back for a refund or accept a £5 voucher for their online store.

    Who was your e-mail from? A nicer/more generous person obviously!
  • Just got this back from HMV, they are now blaming Pearl Jam for this, what a joke


    Dear *****

    It has come to our attention that incorrect information regarding hmv.com's pre-order offer for the Pearl Jam album Backspacer has been posted on the 10club site. Hmv.com's offer did not include a free poster and this information was not listed on the hmv.com site at any point. We have contacted the site to advise them of this mistake.

    We are very sorry for any disappointment this error may have caused but hope you appreciate that external websites are not under hmv.com's control.

    Any questions? Visit the ‘Customer Service’ section on www.hmv.com; reply to this email, or give us a ring instead on 0845 603 8576 we're open 9am - 6pm Monday to Friday.

    Yes it definitely was on their website - that's why I pre-ordered it with them (before the SB ticket offer was even announced).

    Yeah I was sure too, I guess they found out that lots of people have complained and they have stopped issuing those HMV vouchers as compensation.
