Placing & Cancelling Orders
- How do I use the shop?
-
Browse through the different sections of the site looking at the products available. When you see something you want to buy, you'll notice an “Add to Basket” button or “Preorder” button next to it. Clicking on that button will put one copy of that item into your shopping basket. The number of items in your basket will increase each time you add something.
If you click on the “Show Basket/Basket” link or “Basket/Shopping Cart” Icon or “X items for £x.xx” link in the top right of your screen, you can see what you've got in your basket and how much it will cost you. If there's an item you no longer you want you can remove it. Once you've selected everything you would like to purchase, click “Checkout” - this will prompt you to log in with your EMI account. You can create an account if you don't already have one by selecting the 'New Customer' option. You will then be taken to the review order page where all of your order details are displayed for you to check before selecting to 'place order' and enter your payment details.
You need to select your country from the menu to see all the payment methods available to you. Follow all of the instructions regarding your chosen method of payment. After you have completed the payment page, you will be shown the confirmation page where you are given an order number which you can use to check your order status in your 'order history'.

The DVDs we sell are PAL format, Region 2, unless stated otherwise. You should refer to your DVD player's instruction booklet for confirmation of your player's regional settings. DVDs vary according to both format and region, so unless your machine is multi-region / multi-format, or can be converted to handle multi-region / multi-format, you should check that both the format and the region of the DVD match the settings on your player and that the format matches your television.
PAL is the standard format for the UK, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Africa and Asia (excluding Japan). NTSC is the standard format for USA, Canada, Central and South America, Japan and the Caribbean.

Delivery
- What are your delivery times?
-
We will send you an email when your order has been dispatched. Here is a rough guide for how long it should take for you to receive your order from this date
Standard delivery:
- UK Approximately 1-4 working days
- Europe Approximately 4-7 working days
- USA / Canada Approximately 7-14 working days
- Rest of the World Approximately 7-20 working days (depending on location)
Please note that this is a guide only and should not be interpreted as a guarantee. Once your order arrives in your country, it is passed to your postal service, who will deliver it to you in keeping with their standard working practices. As standard delivery is by Royal Mail, there is no tracking information available on packages.
Courier delivery:
If speed of delivery or tracking are important to you, it may be worth selecting the "Courier" option on the "Review Order" page when placing your order.
Orders should be delivered next day to most UK destinations if placed before midday. Delivery times to rest of the world destinations can vary significantly from country to country.
- Complete Shipping / Part-shipping?
-
If you select "Complete Shipping" your order will be sent out in one delivery once all items have come into stock.
If you select "Part Shipping" the available items will be sent immediately and the remaining items will follow in a second delivery once they have come into stock. The delivery charge displayed will cover both deliveries. You will be sent an email to notify you when each package has been dispatched. This will clearly state which products are contained within it and which products are still to be delivered. If you have ordered a bundle all the physical items in the bundle will be sent together.
- What are the delivery charges?
-
Each item is priced for delivery according to its weight and volume. An exact delivery charge for the chosen delivery options will be calculated for you on the order review page before you are asked for payment.
- Gift wrap
-
You can select to have your order gift wrapped for your convenience. Orders for multiple items will be wrapped as one parcel. Please note we aren't able to gift wrap posters due to the size and shape of the package. If you purchase a poster along with other products and select gift wrapping, the poster will not be gift wrapped but the package containing the other items will be. If your order is shipped in two parts then both parts will be gift wrapped. There will also be two charges for the gift wrapping.
- Customs & Import Charges
-
All import and export costs are the responsibility of the customer. We have no control over the length of time your order will be held at customs for clearance and suggest that you contact them directly for further information. We mark all packages for overseas delivery with contents and order value marked accordingly.
Where is my order?
- How do I view my order history?
-
You can check your order status at any time by logging into your customer account and viewing your order history. Just go to the web site and click 'Log In' where you will be asked for the email address and password you registered with us when you placed your order. Here all of your orders with us will be listed.
- What is my order status?
-
You can view your order history by logging into your customer account where your order status will be displayed.
If the status of your order says 'No Payment Received' it will be cancelled by the system. Perhaps your shopping session may have been interrupted before you finished entering your payment details. If you wanted to pay by card, then you will need to place a new order on the website. Before you re-order please make sure that you haven't already placed another active order with us, as a new order can be created by clicking forward or back on your browser during the order process. An order is placed each time the 'place order' button is pressed regardless of whether payment details are entered or not.
If the status of your order says 'Pending', this means that we are awaiting stock from our supplier. If the product you ordered is a pre-order then the release date will be displayed.
If the status of your order says 'Processed', this means that your order should be on its way to you. You will be sent an automated email to confirm when the order has left our warehouse.
- My delivery hasn't arrived
-
You will be sent an email to confirm when your order has been dispatched. Once you have received this, please wait until our expected delivery time has elapsed. Click on the link for delivery times to view our delivery times for your location.
If you have chosen Standard Mail delivery please check if your local post office are holding the package for you. They may not have been able to fit your package through your letterbox and taken it for you to collect from the depot. They should leave a card to say that delivery has been attempted, but in our experience this doesn't always happen. If they return the package to us because you did not pick it up at the post office, you will have to pay the p&p charge again to have it resent.
Returns
- Returns Policy
-
If you are not satisfied with any of the items you have received for any reason, we will be happy to issue a credit voucher for the cost of the items if we receive the returned items from you in the condition that they were sent, within 28 days of delivery to you. Please contact us below and wait for a response before returning item to us. Any returns should include a note of your name, order number and a brief explanation of your reason for returning the items. For your protection please ask the Post Office for a 'proof of postage receipt' when sending your items back to us. This proves you have sent the package back to us should the package get lost in transit. You will not be charged for this.
Please note the package is your responsibility until it reaches us. We will be unable to refund or resend your order without a proof or postage receipt.
- My item has arrived damaged
-
If your items arrive damaged, we will either issue a credit voucher to you (including the postage and packing you were charged), or send you a replacement. We may ask you to return the damaged item to us before we can take further action. Please contact us below and we will tell you how to proceed.
- Can I exchange an item I don't like / clothing that doesn’t fit?
-
If you aren't happy with an item you have received from us please contact us and we will give you the instructions for returning. We don't offer exchanges as such, but we will issue you with a credit voucher when we have received goods back to our warehouse. You can then use this credit voucher to place an order for the other item you'd like.
- Wrong items have been delivered
-
If you have received incorrect items in you order please contact us below. We will advise you on how to send back the items and replace them with the correct items.
- Returned by the post - delivery address errors
-
If your order is returned to us because you did not collect it from the post office or because you made a mistake with your address, we may be able to resend it to you, but you will have to pay the p&p charge to have it resent. We are not responsible for non-delivery if you have entered your address incorrectly.

What data we collect about you and why
- When you use the Website, there are different ways we and any service providers who assist us in managing the Website gather information about you. When you register with us, we ask for information such as your name, email address, postal address and contact details. We keep a record of this information and any other information relating to you that we may obtain from our suppliers or other third parties. This record will be stored and processed in the United Kingdom and other countries (see further below under “How we store data about you” and “How we use personal data about you”). All this is necessary for us to recognise you, provide you with the services or information you have requested from us and, where appropriate, to maintain your account with us. In addition to the uses described below, we may also use this information to improve our platform and prevent or detect abuses of our Website. You may also be required to provide personal data to order products or participate in one of our online forums or communities. You are under no obligation to provide such data. However, if you should choose to withhold requested information, we may not be able to provide you with certain services.
- We keep a record of any electronic correspondence you send us. This helps us to keep track of any problems or concerns you may have had with our Website or services.
- If retail opportunities are provided, when you place an order, we may collect a credit card number or other payment account number. This record will be stored and processed in the United Kingdom and other countries (see further below under “How we store data about you” and “How we use personal data about you”).

In order to communicate with you about local events, offers and opportunities and other news, the data that we collect from you may be transferred to, stored and processed by EMI or one of our service providers based in Europe, North America, South East Asia, Asia Pacific or Latin America. Such entities may be engaged in, among other things: preparing and sending newsletters to which you subscribe; the fulfilment of your orders; the processing of payment details; and the provision of support services. The laws of some countries may not provide the same levels of protection of personal data as your home country, particularly if you are resident in the EEA. By submitting data, you agree to the collection, transfer, storage and processing of data about you for the purposes described in this policy. We will take reasonable steps to ensure that data about you is treated securely in accordance with this Privacy Policy, and that all information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers or those of our service providers.
Passwords
Where we have given you (or you have chosen) a password to access the Website, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. Please do not share the password with anyone. We will never contact you and ask for your password.
How we use personal data about you
All the information we collect via our Website, or through correspondence with you, is used to provide you with any information, products or services you have requested, to operate EMI’s business and to improve the services and products that we offer you. We will use personal data about you for purposes such as:
- managing the Website and access to it so that it is presented in the most effective way for you and your computer;
- dealing with orders and accounts for the supply of our goods and services;
- planning and managing EMI’s business activities, including analysing users’ preferences;
- research;

- notifying you of any changes to our products and services;
- providing you with password reminders or to notify you that a particular service has been suspended for maintenance; and
- processing and dealing with any complaints or enquiries made by you.
As described above data may be shared within EMI. There are only a limited number of circumstances in which we may share with others some or all of the data about you that we hold; these are set out below.
- With local agents and other third parties who assist us in the services we provide to you by, for example, hosting sites or sending emails on our behalf, and with retail partners on the Website. In these instances, we provide them with only the information that they will need to perform their function. EMI requires these third parties to comply with EMI’s instructions and requires them not to use any personal data for their own business purposes.
- In the event that our business assets are ever sold to, or purchased by, another company (our data records are part of our business).
- With our joint venture partners.
- Where you have expressed an interest in one or more particular artists and have consented to the sharing of information with any such artist(s), we may share personal data about you with such artists and their representatives. Such artists may use this information to contact you regarding products, programs, services and promotions that the artists believe may be of interest to you. We do not control, and are not responsible for, artists’ use of personal data. If you decide that you no longer wish EMI to be able to share personal data with artists and their representatives, please see the section on opting-out below.
- If we are under a duty to disclose or share personal data about you in order to comply with any legal obligation, at the request of relevant regulatory or governmental authorities, pursuant to a subpoena or comparable binding request, or in order to enforce or apply our Terms and Conditions of Use of this Website, or to protect the rights, property or safety of EMI, its customers, or others.
- We may make available services such as message boards, chat functionality and blogs, to which you are able to post information and materials. Please note that any information you disclose through such services or otherwise on the Website becomes public information, and may be available to visitors to the Website and to the general public. In addition, when you choose to make a posting on such services certain personal data will be available for other users to view. We urge you to exercise discretion and caution when deciding to disclose personal data about you, or any other information, on the Website. We are not responsible for the use by any third party of any personal data you voluntarily disclose through any such services or otherwise on the website.
- With your express consent.
So far as practicable we will seek to ensure that each disclosure will be subject to an obligation of confidentiality.
We may also share anonymised, aggregated data, such as access statistics, with third parties such as advertisers. This will not involve the identification of individuals.
When and how we communicate with you and how you can opt-out from receiving future communications or from our sharing personal data about you
We may use the information we collect to contact you by post, email and telephone (including automated calls, and by SMS text messages and other multimedia electronic messages such as picture messaging) so as to contact you:
- in relation to the functioning of any services you have signed up for in order to ensure that we can deliver the services to you;
- to provide you with further information;
- in relation to any contribution you have made to the Website, e.g. on our message boards;
- to invite you to participate in surveys about our services (participation is always voluntary);
- for marketing purposes subject to any elections that you have made in this respect;
- about a submission you have made to the Website, including any content you provide.
We will not send you unsolicited premium rate SMS messages (which are SMS messages you pay to receive), although your service provider may impose a charge on messages that you receive. Please check with your service provider for details. You will be given the opportunity to opt-out of receiving such marketing information at the point when your details are collected. All promotional information from us will come with instructions on how to opt-out from receiving further information in the future.
You can tell us not to contact you or share the information with a third party either at initial registration or later through updates. We may occasionally contact you about products and services we feel may be of interest to you. This contact will only come from us (or our agents) and only if you have indicated that you do not object to these offers. If you would prefer to no longer receive marketing-related messages from us, or if you would prefer that we not share personal data about you with any of our joint venture partners or artists, you may opt-out of receiving messages from us or from our future sharing of information about you by following the “unsubscribe” instructions in the latest such message you have received. We will endeavour to comply with your request as soon as reasonably practicable. Please keep in mind that if you opt-out of receiving promotional messages from this Website, we will continue to send you transactional messages and important account-related information regarding this Website or services offered through this Website. We also will continue to honour your requests regarding promotional communications from other EMI websites for which you have subscribed.
Please note that if you opt-out as described above, we will not be able to remove personal data about you from the databases of joint venture partners or any artists with which we have already shared personal data about you (i.e., to which we have already provided personal data about you as of the date that we implement your opt-out request). If you wish to cease receiving marketing-related messages from such joint venture partners or any artists, please contact such joint venture partners or any artists directly or utilize any opt-out mechanisms set out in their respective privacy policies or marketing-related messages.
Data over the Internet and other websites
The Internet is a global network and, therefore, there are times when data about you travels globally and may not always be completely secure. If you provide us with data over the Internet, this will be at your own risk. By using the Website, you agree and authorise us to process data in this way. However, please be assured that we use commercially reasonable procedures and security features to prevent unauthorised access to data about you.
Where the Website contains links to third party websites, please note that these have been included for convenience only. Neither EMI nor any of its affiliated companies, controls the content of any linked site and any personal data collected by such sites will be subject to the privacy policy of the third party operating that site. Please read any such third party’'s policy carefully before providing any personal data on such websites.
We sometimes may offer content (e.g. competitions, sweepstakes, or promotions) sponsored by or co-branded with identified third parties. By virtue of these relationships, the third parties may obtain personally identifiable information that you voluntarily submit to participate in the Website activity. We are not responsible for and have no control over these third parties' use of this information. However, we will notify you at the time of requesting personally identifiable information if these third parties will obtain such information.
We may use third parties to present or serve the advertisements that you may see on the Website. This Privacy Policy does not cover any use of data that a third party ad server may have collected from you.
Offensive or inappropriate content
If you post or send offensive, inappropriate or objectionable content anywhere on or to the Website, or otherwise engage in any disruptive behaviour on the Website, we may use the personal data we hold about you to stop such behaviour. Where we reasonably believe that you are or may be in breach of any applicable laws (for example, but without limitation, content you have posted may be defamatory), we may use the personal data we hold to inform relevant third parties such as your employer, school email/Internet provider or law enforcement agencies about the content and your behaviour.
Legal disclaimer
We are not responsible nor will be liable to you in any way for events beyond our direct control. Because of the complex and constantly changing nature of our technology and business, we cannot guarantee nor do we represent that our performance will be error free, and to the maximum extent permitted by law we will not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential or punitive damages or other loss suffered by you and relating to the use or release of your personal data.
How long we will hold personal data about you
We will hold personal data about you on our systems for as long as is necessary for the relevant service, or as long as is set out in any relevant contract you hold with EMI, subject to any applicable laws and/or regulations.
