Review of Britannia Music Club [TV Advertisement]

...have been a member of Britannia Music club now for two years and have never found such a fantastic and easy way to shop for my music. I have read many reviews about Britannia on this site and most people don’t rate them all that well, most people feel they are too expensive. This part I partly agree on for your regular CD’s but now as an established customer I think of all the savings that I have made. Each month members receive a newsletter ...
...date. 3 – Visit Britannia website and cancel before deadline date. If you wish to take the recording you simply do nothing and it will be dispatched to your door. Simple is it not? The monthly newsletter is more of a catalogue with pages and pages of CD’s and cassettes covering all genres of music, the range is quite extensive and on visiting the website this is expanded even more. Each month there are 5 different recommended recordings ...

I joined Britannia a few years ago and it was trouble from the outset. The initail cd offer had attracted me but like everything in this world if it looks to good to be true then it probably is and this is the case with Britannia. OK so you have to purchase 6 cd's over two years (three each year), if you do happen to buy six CD's in your first year then you still have to buy three in the second year. You also pay postage costs on your selections, ...
...After a very nasty letter with some back up from my solicitor Britannia stated that it had been a computer error and cancelled my membership, no appology. All this happened within my first tweleve months of joining. Put simply I would not touch this company with a barge pole. ...

Britannia Music and Video Club, a name that strikes fear into the hearts of many shoppers and sends Watchdog into a frenzy, it seems. So why exactly did I try them out? Well, it all started with a phone call. Once upon a Time ---------------------- A polite young lady (aren’t they all when they try to send you something?) asked whether I was interested in videos or music, I told them I was interested in films, but on DVD. She then mentioned ...
...a month before the next Britannia magazine arrived. The problem was that the £10 vouchers that they supplied could only be used with the catalogue numbers, not available on their website. This meant waiting for the catalogue to arrive. Now, I don’t know about you, but I believe that there are plenty enough DVD titles out there to form a pretty thick catalogue. Well, imagine my surprise, then, when a flimsy little 12 pager came through my door. ...

This company have got a good strategy going. The offer of buying 1 CD and getting 4 free was just to tempting for me, so I thought I'd give it a go. I'm sure you've heard of them as they put their leaftets in every magazine and newspaper known to man. As I mentioned, the introductory offer is good and they have a reasonable choice of CDs, similar to many music chainstores on the high street. When you join, you are commited to buying 6 CDs at full ...
...you a catalogue every month, this is where the annoyance comes in. Along with your catalogue, you recieve a statement which has an 'editors choice CD' that they'll automatically send and charge you for, unless you tick a box and post it to them, stating you don't want it. Every single editors choice they sent me, I didn't want and made sure I sent back the form to ensure I wouldn't get it. For some strange reason, most months they sent the CDs to ...

Britannia – a name alsmot synonymos with junk mail, unwanted orders and rip-off prices. And I knew all of this before I joined. So, you may think, why on earth did I bother? Well, as you’ll all be aware I’m sure, they do these wonderful offers whereby you buy one DVD and get a load more free – in my case I got 5. So at 6 films for £20 I thought I couldn’t fail. Even better when the openeing offer included box sets ...
...you can’t. Listen – Britannia is not half as dodgy as you may think, but you’ve GOT to get your money’s worth out of the initial offer otherwise you are on a hiding to nothing. There are much cheaper places to buy DVD’s, particularly on the internet, and the fact they try and farm you off with a crap film once a month. BUT!! If you do manage to nail the initial offer, it is well worth getting involved. The minimum ...
