from 21 reviewsMy purchase arrived within a timely manner. Seamless ordering system all the way 👍😁
The new vinyl ordered online, was dispatched and arrived quickly and as described, great stuff!
Very groovy little shop with a wide variety of books and vinyls. Worth popping into!
What a beautiful store! I was so impressed with the friendly service and the wonderful variety of goods. The books were a big hit with the grandkids, and my brother is happily listening to his favourite tunes on the turntable. Thank you—we’ll definitely be back! 😊
If you’re visiting Stansbury, be sure to pop into this fantastic shop
Huge shoutout to Kate and Neil for an amazing online shopping experience. I didn’t expect such a personal touch when ordering records online, but these guys went above and beyond.
From start to finish, the service felt thoughtful - great communication, careful packaging and handwritten note - it’s clear they genuinely care about what they do. And when there was a minor issue, they were so quick to rectify it, even though it was a Father’s Day Sunday.
So massive thanks and congratulations to the team, you’ve definitely gained a repeat customer. Highly recommend!
Great service
Good selection of records and good price great service quick delivery love the little touch of the postcard with a thankyou. My go to store.
A pleasant shopping experience all round.
Good selection, reasonable prices and very fast shipping. Friendly customer service. Highly recommend.
Kate & Neil are superb. They also have a book range that is all Australian 👏👏 I was looking for something for a toddler and found this book (see pic) and it is perfect. It’s all about Australian animals and will help little ones learn about the nature that is right here in our own country. Badgers and Toads have their place but this little fella has plenty of time to graduate to those little delights later on.
This shop is unique and they also sell new releases vinyl LP’s.
I encourage you to check them out, soon 😎👍
Wonderful service. Ordered two albums on 12 August and they arrived in Alice Springs on 15 August! The albums were well packaged and arrived in perfect condition. Have already been back to the Peninsula Records and Books website to order more vinyl!!
Great products and excellent service. Super fast delivery. Thx guys!
great range, I specifically shopped for books for the grandkids. ordered, shipped and delivered to Tasmania in 4 days. remarkably good service, and the hand written thank you note was a nice gesture. well done PR&B.
Very quick delivery and a lovely personalised thankyou note… will definitely order from there again.
Set in 1600s London the book explores a world in which beauty is women’s only currency. Explored through the perspectives of 3 characters that are hard not to fall in love with. This books gives the perfect mix of history, romcom and women empowerment. thoroughly enjoyed!!
Outstanding customer service and quick delivery. Will definitely use again and highly recommended
