About EMP

EMP is a UK retailer of music, movie, TV and gaming merchandise alongside alternative clothing, footwear and accessories. The site at emp.co.uk groups its range under Band Merch, Entertainment, Brands, Lifestyle, Women, Men, Kids, and Sale, with regular drops tied to specific bands, films, and franchises. Parcels are dispatched from EMP's central warehouse in Germany and delivered to UK addresses by Royal Mail. Shoppers can apply an EMP discount code from this page at the online basket on full-price items, subject to the standard product exclusions used across the site.

EMP Newsletter Discount

New email subscribers receive a 15% EMP voucher code towards their next order when they sign up to the EMP newsletter through the signup form on emp.co.uk. The welcome code is valid for four weeks from issue, can only be redeemed online, and cannot be used in conjunction with any other promotional codes. The newsletter offer excludes books, media, tickets, vouchers, items that include a donation in the price, and selected band ranges including Rammstein, (Till) Lindemann, Die Ärzte, Die Toten Hosen, Feine Sahne Fischfilet, Broilers, and Böhse Onkelz.

EMP Backstage Club

The EMP Backstage Club is the retailer's paid loyalty programme, costing £9.95 per year with a 30-day free trial for new members. Membership replaces the need to track an EMP promo code for delivery savings on every order placed during the year.

• Free Delivery: Free standard delivery on every Backstage Club order, saving the £5.49 per-order delivery charge.
• Extended Returns: Returns window extended to 100 days from delivery instead of the standard 30 days.
• Member Perks: Freebies with selected orders, members-only competitions including backstage and meet and greet experiences, and partner offers.
• Exclusive Items: Access to limited-edition bundles and selected products held back for Backstage Club members.

EMP Student Discount

Students, apprentices, and eligible young people can claim a 15% EMP discount once they verify their status through a recognised student verification portal linked from the EMP UK site. The discount is issued as a single-use code that is entered at the EMP basket in place of any other EMP discount code, since only one promotional code can be applied per order. The standard EMP exclusion list applies, covering books, media, tickets, vouchers, and selected band ranges.

EMP Blue Light Card Discount

Eligible workers from the NHS, emergency services, social care sector, and armed forces can claim a 15% EMP discount across the site after verifying their status through a recognised verification portal. The discount applies on a minimum order value of £40 and cannot be used in conjunction with any other offers or another EMP voucher code from this page. The Blue Light Card discount excludes media, tickets, books, Rammstein products, and gift vouchers.

EMP Delivery Options

EMP ships UK orders from its central warehouse in Germany, with the parcel handed over to Royal Mail for the final UK delivery leg. Customers using an EMP discount code should check that the discounted total still meets any free-delivery requirement attached to their account.

• Standard Delivery: £5.49 flat per order to UK addresses, with delivery aimed at 5-10 working days from dispatch.
• Backstage Club Delivery: Free standard delivery on every order for active Backstage Club members.
• Tracking: A tracking link is supplied once the parcel is dispatched, viewable from the Orders area of the EMP customer account.
• Cross-Border Tracking: Tracking updates may take up to five working days to appear while the parcel travels from Germany to the UK.

EMP Returns Policy

EMP offers free UK returns through its online returns portal, with the postage label generated and printed at home. Customers using an EMP voucher code on the original order receive a refund based on the discounted price actually paid.

• Standard Return Window: 30 days from the date the parcel is delivered to request a return.
• Backstage Club Window: 100 days from the date of delivery for active Backstage Club members.
• Condition: Items must be returned in the condition they arrived in, with all original packaging and labels still attached.
• Hygiene Exclusions: Masks, selected jewellery, and underwear cannot be returned, and swimwear can only be returned with the hygiene strip intact.
• How to Return: Use the EMP returns portal with the order number and delivery postcode in capital letters, print the prepaid label, and drop the parcel at the carrier provided.

How to Use an EMP Discount Code

Applying an EMP discount code at the online checkout takes just a few steps.

• Confirm the saving: Check that the reduction is reflected in the basket total before continuing to payment.
• Choose payment: Pay using a major credit or debit card, PayPal, or Klarna at the final checkout step.
• Note: Only one EMP promo code can be used per order, and the standard exclusion list of books, media, tickets, vouchers, and selected band ranges typically applies.
