"I pre-ordered an item. They haven't shipped it after the release date and have not responded to inquiries. "
"Ordered bunch of vinyl. Never got them."
"I tried to order 3 T-shirts, cancelled 2 of the shirt because a month went by while out of stock. They claim on the site that the 3rd T-shirt shipped. Another month goes by I never received it. No response from email. Phone number is disconnected. Fraud on my credit card used had 1.6k Ticket Master charges on it. BUYER BEWARE!"
"This is one of the most poorly run ecommerce companies out there. They always market presales for merchandise they cannot procure. Their **** poor customer service will just infuriate you even more. How this crapshoot stays in business is a mystery."
"I ordered a vinyl and a CD, before ordered there was no mention that either item was out of stock so I placed the order. I checked back to see the status and one said would be in stock in a week the other said unsure. This went on for a couple of weeks. Then one said expected in a day it said that for two weeks then the other said that same thing for a week. The next time I checked one item said back ordered and not expected anytime soon. So i cancelled my order, yet never received my money back. Have been trying to reach them by phone, email and there order question page, i have not received any contact back. They are thieves and i plan on taking further action to see my money returned."
"I wouldn't spend my money there again!"
"Updating review. Email responses have been pretty poor, but googling "Interpunk contact number" will give you their phone number, and the issue was resolved right away."
"I have made about 5 orders from this website in the past. Due to living in a smaller town, the selection of any real punk/alternative music/merchandise is incredibly limited. I'm going to point out the few issues I have had, and then i'll proceed to the good.
CONS
-Twice I was notified a CD was on back-order after having gone through with the initial order. While this can be a bit of an annoyance, they offer the possibility of a split order, or the cancellation of the unavailable item to allow you to proceed with the others.
-Waiting for an item that has been put on back-order can take a couple of weeks, so it depends how badly you want it.
PROS
-Great selection from a wide variety of bands. I have been able to pad my CD/Vinyl collection with artists I couldn't dream of finding around where I live.
-Prices range from pleasantly low to average, never have I found an item to be overpriced.
-LOW shipping. This is a huge plus to someone who lives outside of the US. Honestly the first thing that really convinced me to go through with my first order.
-Quick E-mail response times if you have questions about your order or items out of stock.
-A neat rewards program for returning customers, in the form of store credit being awarded to you based on a percentage of any order you make. While you won't be making a sizable sum, it's a nice little added bonus to shopping with them.
I feel I need to share one of my order experiences to highlight that the people at Interpunk really do try and sort out any issues you have. I ordered 3 CD's and shirt. Soon after, I was notified that two of the CD's were on back-order, and would take a while to arrive before any shipment was sent out. I decided to wait it out. After a couple weeks waiting and a few e-mails back and forth, I decided to cut my losses and order what was available. I was refunded promptly, given some store credit, and my order was sent and arrive in a matter of days despite me living out of country. Apart from my merchandise, Interpunk included some bits of extra merchandise (stickers/coasters/drink cozie) along with my order, free of charge, due to my patience and their inability to fully deliver on the goods I had ordered. I thought this was awesome of them, helping make the experience good overall.
Will continue to shop with them, I have had nothing but good experiences, apart from minor back-order hassles. The pros definitely outway the cons. "
"Place order for a studded leather collar in early December 2012. Item was not available and I was told in was back-ordered and would be available in a few weeks. So much for the timely gift I was attempting to give. Over the following weeks I have received several emails and each time the item delivery date kept getting moved back ANOTHER couple of weeks. I am now at three MONTHS and have never received my order. I have not canceled the item. Thanks InterPunk, I not only missed Christmas with this gift but Valentine's Day, New Year's Eve, Martin Luther King's Birthday and President's Day. You almost got me to St Patrick's Day. "
"placed an order last week for some vinyl and just received my package. have ordered from them a few times and the records are always packed very well and reach me in great condition. they are my go-to online shop for vinyl. would definitely recommend. "
"parts of the order were cancelled without explanation. had to email them to find out what was going on only to find it was 'no longer in stock'. this is the 3rd time this has happened and I am not happy about it and will no longer be buying things from this site."
"I ordered a shirt for my BFs bday. I got an email saying it had shipped. I look up the invoice on the site and it's for a different band, different size shirt. I contact them and the tech tells me via email that I can return the item just pay for shipping both ways. So I can either keep a shirt for a band I don't know, that I didn't order and for the wrong size or spend 31 bucks on a 14 dollar shirt to fix everything. RIP OFF! And they don't work with you. NEVER using them again."
"I ordered from them after finally getting fed up with rockabilia.com and the difference was night and day. I ordered a hoodie (for half the price) on wednesday, it shipped on thursday and arrived monday. That was using priority shipping and considering friday was vetrens day. The selection was great, the prices dirt cheap, and they clearly show if items are in stock. I will be using them for all my music merchandise purchases from now on."
"Placed order 3 weeks ago, still hasn't been shipped. No phone number to contact them about this. No contact information whatsoever to cancel the order. You have to send a message through their own website, that's the only way to contact them about anything. Very unprofessional."
"I got an email saying a hoodie was back in stock, so i ordered it, then it said out of stock. i went to cancel my order but they had already charged my credit card and would only give me store credit, i send them an email asking for a refunt but tehy never replied, i now have $45 in store credit and no hoodie. I then recieved another email saying it was back in stock, so i ordered again, two weeks later the order is cancelled because it is not in stock, i went to order the next size up, not in stock. that was over a month ago now, im down $45 and still havent heard anything"
