Does anyone know what the returns policy is for returning cd's from stores such as hmv?It says on the receipt that it accepts exchanges within 21 days if 'purchased in error' or unwelcome gifst or something but they have to be in perfect condition. Does this mean 'unopened'? And what if its not a gift but you just dont like it? Does this apply to sale items ? (By the way I would check the site but it keeps crashing my computer) So any help is appreciated...

Sale stuff - no. They were trying to get rid of it in the first place, hence the sale

If the package has been opened then you can't return the CD. The reason is, is that you might have burned the CD onto your computer and you're trying to get your money back which means you would have stolen the CD in a way.

But what if I'm offering to get rid of it by exchanging for something almost double the price?

I don't think that it matters whatever the price of it was and what you're exchanging it for. You could try asking them for vouchers.

I'm just worried i won't be able to exchange it...i was on a high today and don't even know why i bought the cd in the first place!

I have to ask - what was the CD?

I think you like the band Trebor...Franz Ferdinand?

You cannot retun that!!! franz ferdinand are great!!!

The new album? That's a great CD, don't return it

I expected the new album to be slightly rockier...i have really weird phases of 'i love franz ferdinand' (phases lasted from Monday to about 5 o'clock today) and an 'i dont really like FF' phase (from 5 today up till now..)

The Fallen is pretty "rocky". It's a solid second album overall.

Out of 13 songs the Fallen and Walk away are the only songs i like....does it get better with 'listening'...I was thinking of changing it for Jimmy eat World....

Edit: You should get the new Strokes album

What's wrong with Jimmy Eat World?? I'm not really sure i like Strokes...i've only ever heard about 3 songs.

What's right with Jimmy Eat World? (no, they're actually alright)

Big Strokes fan and going to see them in February

I'm listening to Jimmy eat world on their website and its occurred to me how much more i like them compared to FF...I'm going to see if i can take it back... I hope i CAN...and what shall i say? 'I didnt like it..' hmmm

Put something sticky on it and say it was there when you opened it

I doubt it'd work Does it matter that its been opened? I kind of shoved it back int the plasticy thing...

They probably won't mind but you never can tell.

Oh what the hel.l I'll give it a try...though hmv people at my local one have never been that nice to me

take it to a different branch then

What's the strokes' new album like? I was thinking of getting it, but I didn't like "is this it" album very much at all. Please describe it!!

I found it easier to get into than "Is this it" overall, and very enjoyable. The voice of Julian Casablancas is also much more clearly heard on this album (in the other two, he muttered a bit)

what a sham of a band.

Sham = Something false or empty that is purported to be genuine; a spurious imitation

I can't see how any of them apply to Franz.

Anyone like Kaiser chiefs? The killers? GREEN DAY?

I think they're all pretty good, although not exceptional (seen The Killers live )

they're not bad

I hate Kaiser Chiefs.
I really like the Killers
Greenday are on the whole 'not my thing' though one exception is 'Good Riddnace'..love that song"!

I have a problem with the mp3/4 player i got for chirstmas, seems one of the navigational keys jammed and it keeps skipping songs/movies and it is basically unusable now, i have the receipt and was wondering could i trade it in for an ipod at the same price?

Depending on where you bought it from I'd imagine it would be possible. I traded my old MP3 player for an iPod at John Lewsi (had to add some extra cash) after it emerged it did not work with Windows XP

Probably..as there is a fault. Couldn';t you just change it for a new mp3?

By the way people, i changed the cd today...the guy didnt even listen for the reason and changed it straight away...Jimmy Eat Worlds album looks fab (and has extra demo cd) but i can't listen to it because all out upstairs electricity things have blown...eeekkk

Hehe, after the worrying. It seems that big companies will usually give you the benefit of the doubt over these kind of things, because it's better for them to lose a small amount of money than being difficult and possibly losing the customer for any repeat purchases.

Actually they gained an extra £6!

Oh go and ruin my theory why don't you, I don't know the youth of today never showing any respect for their elders, oh I don't know

well, tomorrow after school im heading to currys and seeing if tey will swap for me, the one i have at the minute (broke one) cost 320 pounds, the ipod i want is 300, so im hoping they will replace it:unsure:, ahh well i guess, will find out the result tomorrow

Good luck!
