Investigation Brief
hhv.de is a long-running online shop selling vinyl records, CDs and music merchandise. It has operated since at least 2010, maintains over 100,000 customer reviews on Trusted Shops, and shows no malware or phishing detections.
Reputation and technical checks
Trusted Shops lists 106,314 reviews for HHV dating back to March 2010, indicating a sustained retail presence.
The multi-engine malware scan reports zero malicious or suspicious detections across 93 engines, and the browser threat feed issues no warnings.
The site uses valid TLS encryption for all connections.
Customer service notes
An independent review platform's review mentions slower support response times in early 2025, with two tickets opened in March remaining unanswered after eight days.
The same reviewer states they continue to purchase from the store, indicating the issue is isolated rather than systemic.
Why the score is 88
The saved checks and analysis found no material threat. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

Domain & infrastructure
The plumbing behind the site — who registered it, how it’s encrypted, where it’s hosted, and where it links out. A valid certificate or a calm server doesn’t mean the business is honest — scam sites pass these checks too. Use this to corroborate the verdict, not to overturn it.

None seen among the outside domains we saved.
Read from the first 20 outside domains the page loads and the shop platform it uses; the web server and platform rows are under Hosting & Technology. A payment script on the page does not prove the shop accepts that method at checkout, or that you are protected.
