I had a great time shopping for vinyl at that store. Ordering online was straightforward, and I like being able to drop by the store in person. The vinyl records I got were in excellent condition and packed well, which is important since I'm a collector. Overall, it was a great shopping experience.

I ordered something, and then like over three weeks later they just decided to cancel it without even telling me why! I tried reaching out to them, but didn't get any response at all. It was seriously the worst shopping experience I've ever had. So uncool.

I just bought some pre-ordered vinyl records and I gotta say, I'm super happy with how it all went down. The customer service was amazing and everything went smoothly. The records arrived right on time after the release date, and I only had to pay when they were sent out. It's so rare to find such dependable and efficient service in this business. I'll definitely be coming back here for more purchases in the future.

As someone who comes to this store a lot, I gotta say, every time I buy something here, it's been a great experience. The whole thing is quick and easy, and I like how they make sure you know what's happening during the whole thing. They have the best selection of imported vinyl records, which is why I always come here when I'm looking for rare releases. The staff is always super professional and knowledgeable, and they really go out of their way to make sure you're happy. I definitely suggest checking out this store for all your music needs.

Signed copy disappointment

No

I was so disappointed with my recent purchase from the store. I thought I was getting a signed copy because I definitely clicked on that option. But when my order showed up, it wasn't signed like I thought it would be. It was a big letdown because I was really excited to add something special to my collection. The fact that they didn't pay attention to the details when filling orders is worrying and it definitely affected my whole experience with the store. I hope they can fix this problem for next time so they don't let down other customers.

RSD Vinyl Order

S

No

So, I wanted to get some RSD vinyl from Rough Trade and it was a nightmare. I ordered four 12" records and waited three weeks with no updates. Suddenly, they canceled my order! Super frustrating. I decided to just get two of the items still available. Same thing happened - no responses to my emails or messages. It felt like customer service didn't even exist. When I tried to cancel, it didn't show online and they didn't acknowledge my cancellation. What a mess! After canceling, I got a shipment confirmation for one of the items, so now I had to pay for a duplicate that I already got somewhere else. Overall, my experience with Rough Trade Berlin during RSD was so disappointing, especially since I've always been a happy customer at the UK branch.

Rough Trade is definitely the best place online to buy vinyl records, eh? Their customer service is amazing, especially Jack. He's always on point and goes above and beyond. They're quick to respond to any questions or requests, and they never disappoint. I always look to them for my vinyl fix.

This shop is seriously one of the best places I've ever been to for vinyl records. I checked it out on RSD24 and it was so awesome! The live music was amazing, and I snagged some really rare records from artists like Kate Bush, Cocteau Twins, The Weeknd, and Kim Wilde. I went back a few days later and got the new Olivia Rodrigo 7-inch (I really wanted to grab another one), along with albums from Ultravox and Mac Demarco. The staff there is super friendly and helpful, which just made the whole thing even more enjoyable.

As someone who has been coming to this store for a while now, I can honestly say that the service here is always top-notch. When I ordered a vinyl album, I got regular email updates about my purchase, which was awesome. I was even surprised when the album showed up at my door the very next day after they shipped it. Rough Trade's delivery service is just so efficient and reliable compared to other places. They really care about making sure customers are happy and have a great shopping experience. I've been a loyal customer for years, and I know I'll keep coming back thanks to their amazing service.

Oh man, what a bummer! I was really hoping to find a bunch of new vinyl records but I was totally let down. The people working there were too busy talking to each other instead of helping us out. I don't think I'll be going back there anytime soon.
