    ordered a vinyl from here online, and it came very quickly! was shipped well, and i was told straight away that it would come slightly after the release date due to the fact that it was an import, which was much appreciated. 5/5, one of my favourite aussie record shops!

    Was so happy I rang Happy Valley when I couldn’t find my daughter’s requested vinyls just before her birthday at other stores. Happy Valley were able to sell me both records then and there, when other stockists told me they were only available on back order or not at all! One very happy customer here.

    Packed & arrived perfectly. Great range of stock I can’t seem to find anywhere else. Now if you can track down Mac Millers GO:OD AM on vinyl for me I would be a very happy man!

    Very happy - Ordered a vinyl online with express shipping that arrived in just over 1 day and was packaged very securely in bubble wrap and in a cardboard mailer. Pricing was also competitive and fair shipping costs

    I have purchased a large portion of my vinyl collection from Happy Valley. Although I usually purchase through online, I have purchased in store for a RSD exclusive once. Regardless of purchase method I have always been satisfied with the service, price and selection of physical media. Not to mention the speedy delivery times and care taken in packing the vinyls. All of these positives has cemented them as my go to location for vinyl.

    Bought a record from Happy Valley for friend’s birthday at the last minute. Everything about my experience was amazing. They shipped it fast, protected it well and even gift wrapped it with a custom message included. Thanks so much guys. Exceptional service in every way. I don’t leave reviews often for anyone, but you guys deserve a 5 star review. I’d give you more stars if I could!

    I recently ordered from Happy Valley for the first time and it won’t be the last. Not only did they ship my magazine out fast, but the packaging was fantastic. If only other companies took as much care. The magazine was in perfect condition. I look forward to shopping with them again in the future.

    I was looking for sleaford mods spare ribs album,saw it and their.bew album on happy valley's website.. I am a supporter of small business so it was a no brainier. I collected both records within an hour of online purchasing and it was a very easy process. Love both albums. Also have purchased gifts and books from this store...great ranges and variety in store and online

    I came here on RSD black friday, the staff were kind and quick with the service which was nice and they let me purchase another record without lining up again. Chris is very friendly and I would definitely shop at Happy Valley from now on :)

    Ordered a few things from these guys recently, and it all arrived in perfect condition with carefully-wrapped packaging (alongside some super fast delivery times as well). Super fair prices as well. Highly recommend! :)

  • 5/5 Kiara D. 10 months ago on Google
    Happy Valley Vinyl has a great range of products and navigating their website was very easy. My order was dispatched very quickly and they allowed me to upgrade my postage after ordering. Customer service was exceptional and any issues I had were resolved beyond my expectation. Thank you Chris for all the help!

  • 5/5 Holly H. 5 months ago on Google
    I regularly order online at this store as I have limited vinyl retailers in my regional area. The orders always come packaged securely and timely. I can't recommend these guys enough! Always a happy customer :)

    Was after the complete collection from Fred again, happy valley had them in stock and was dispatched and arrived in Perth within a week. Awesome service and well packaged for protection

  • 5/5 Darren G. 4 months ago on Google
    Awesome, awesome, awesome. These guys make buying music online about as painless as it can get, and the service is simply second to none. I can't recommend them enough. Oh, did I mention that they're awesome? They are :)

    Honestly really happy with my experience, turned a negative into a positive and I couldn't be happier. Ordered two vinyl's from them, however one came with a torn sleeve (not at the fault of them, they come really secure), let them know, within the same day I was offered a full refund for it. Seriously appreciate what you're doing out here.

    Long time customer, but will never go back after today. Walked into the store holding a coffee (as I’ve done many times before) and proceeded to look at vinyl for a few minutes - only to have a pretentious staff member rudely kick me out the store for having a drink. Looked around and noticed at least 3 other people holding drinks that were not asked to leave. I don’t mind following the rules, it’s the tone in which I was kicked out that was the problem. I hope it was worth losing a long time customer for something so trivial. Furthermore, if so many were in the store holding drinks, perhaps you reassess the placement of the sign that says ‘no food or beverages allowed’. Seems to be missed by many including myself. Walked up the street and purchased my vinyl from Plug 7 holding my coffee. Suggest checking them out for friendly service. *Update* Stop embellishing your responses to negative reviews. It wasn’t ‘one of your staff members’ - it was you, Chris the owner of Happy Valley. I wasn’t violent or threatening. I responded to you in the tone that you spoke to me. You didn’t ask me politely to leave - you were aggressive and tried to stare me down when I questioned if you were being serious. This time someone stood up to you. There are other reviews that make reference to your rude and condescending behaviour. Other readers, take note on the way Chris responds to negative reviews. Never taking accountability, threatening legal action, etc. It paints a clear picture of who the proprietor is. The other staff are great, which is the basis for the positive reviews. There are also dozens of other small businesses in Collingwood that deserve your business.

    A relative newcomer to the scene, Happy Valley Vinyl has been a welcomed addition to the Melbourne record trail in Fitzroy/Collingwood. Occupying the back half of a bookstore are walls and shelves brimming with new release vinyl. If each record store in town had a superpower, Happy Valley’s would be their ability to import new releases, particularly limited editions, and have them hit shelves before anyone else. In some cases, Happy Valley may be the only place in Australia where you can find particular pressings. For the most part their prices are competitive, they have an extensive and regularly updated website which includes pre-order option, and they constantly have sales on overstock and bargain copies with very minor imperfections. Happy digging @ #happyvalleyvinyl

    I’ve ordered a few records from Happy Valley, and every time, the records have arrived promptly and in excellent condition. I’ve been able to order some niche things, Happy Valley have a great selection. I will continue to support this business.

  • 5/5 Anastacia 10 months ago on Google
    I go to this place to buy all my vinyls since starting my collection. They always have special pressings and good quality non damaged vinyls with great variety including hard to find artists lost to eBay reselling. Their online service is incredible as well offering free click and collect. They also do shipping which is really fast! Some of them come next day even when you place an order last the night before. All vinyls come wonderfully packaged I’ve never had any damage. Staff is friendly and ready to help and the store looks great. Such a great aesthetic highly recommend buying your vinyls here! #happyvalleyvinyl

    #happyvalleyvinyl is an incredible and easy to navigate shop (both in store and online). I’ve purchased vinyl from here both in person and online and the process was so easy and I’ve never have an issue within the store or with the vinyl. When buying online, the checkout process was so simple and easy and the parcel was packaged with care to avoid damage and arrive very quickly. And they’re always getting new stock in so you never need to worry about waiting long if something you wanted sold out. I can’t wait to visit again in a few days. Would definitely recommend to everyone!

    Been searching for a record for my husband for Chrimbas, as big vinyl collectors we like to make sure we get something from each other’s wish list on Santa’s birthday! Searched high and low via my local WA stores, so had to jump online. I was flooded with a lot of dropshipping Aussie places, seems a lot of online-only stores have popped up recently, and they don’t keep stock on hand - high prices and bad overseas shipping? No thanks! My search eventually lead to me to Happy Valley, and after a pleading email, I got a prompt response about expected stock times and was thrilled to eventually nab the album. The gang also packed it up to ship on a Sunday, so it got over to me in WA in record time. Great service, great prices and fast shipping? You’ve got a forever customer in me now Happy Valley, great work.

    Bought a vinyl LP on-line for my son for his birthday, and the experience was easy and simple. Chose click and collect and gift wrapping as part of the customer experience and wasn’t disappointed. Went to the store, said I was picking up an album and it was quickly presented to me as I had requested. My son was wrapped (pardon the pun) with his present and that he got it on his birthday. Thankyou Happy Valley.

    Great range, great prices, great service! Good to support a small independent Australian business. My order was packed with care and shipped with haste for a good price. Great work Chris and team :)

  • 5/5 Neill M. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing selection of vinyl. A pleasure to deal with. Chris is easy-going but responsive. Fast delivery too! We need more vinyl places like this.

  • 5/5 666boltz 1 year ago on Google
    Ordered two records.. not the cheapest but also not the easiest to find. Both play well... Also ordered a mug for the Missus to be eligible for free shipping. Packed with care and arrived before expected. Highly recommended seller!!! Cheers, Matt

  • 5/5 Tarni C. 1 year ago on Google
    I made my first order with Happy Valley as they had a rare vinyl I had been searching high and low for (at a reasonable price haha). Absolutely amazing service! I made my order and within an hour or two I had an email letting me know that they had sent it off! Will definitely be shopping here again Xx

  • 5/5 kittysnaps 1 year ago on Google
    Great store, with great customer service. I have been contacted almost straight away if there was an issue with any order and it was resolved straight away. Fast shipping and good selection of unique vinyl, books and other items.

  • 5/5 Z �. 1 year ago on Google
    Great shop to purchase gifts for family and friends, or an interesting read for yourself. The range of books I would describe as eclectic unique. There are vinyls at the back of the store too. I didn't get enough time to look in depth but I found most of the stuff pretty cool and purchased a few things as gifts.
