cheeseburger is on a distinguished road
Online record shopping is the devil

the phrase "add to cart" holds a different meaning now as i push myself closer and closer to bankruptcy.


In the month of October i have spent over 800$ online, and another 400$ tonight. This is not good whenu can barely make ends meet.

I'm not bragging here, i seriously need help. I can't stop listening to samples online.. (ok.. last one, just one more.. ohh wait, whats that, must have a quick listen, ohh thats pretty)


I am seeking help, is there any RA (recordaholic anonym) clubs.

how can i stop this addiction....

What site do you do most of your buying from? What kind of vinyl are you buying?

The worst thing you can do is cut up your credit card.. then you have NOOO way to get your credit back up.. you have to pay off what you owe, and then use your credit card for small things, but pay it off right away to bring your credit rating back up, or else you credit is fucked for the rest of your life!

djbonez, u have problems with djmr.com. i buy tons of stuff off there, never had a problem. i am in the same boat as ninewells, my credit card is racked because when i sample good music i cant say no, its an addiction. i fear the $8500 credit line the bank just gave me

may god have mercy on my bank account.

Has anyone ever ordered from chemical records in the UK?? I've heard that they take a while to arrive, but the problem that I have been having is that my credit card keeps declining... is it because it is in the UK?? this is a brand new credit card as well, so it definitely isn't over its limit or anything...

yeah i've had mad issues with chemical

everytime i've ordered off em i'm been assraped with customs. they have a good selection and all but getting charged 8 bucks and recieving the package a month after ordering it is just straight up bullshit.

but once after revieving a late order, i found out that 1 record was missing out of the 6 records i payed for.... so i let chemical know and guess what... 4 days later i recieve the ENTIRE package again... so i have doubles of all the records except for the missing one =p

hehehe

whats the url?

all dnb or whut?


LDUB- i had that problem for a while too.. i Ended up calling visa.
Felt like a big ass after. The way the pull down arrow came down down for the expiration date on the site i was ordering from was fucked, it kinda skipped january.. so i was like 1,2,3,4,5,6 and 7 and not thinking about what month the 7 month was.. I don't think that made sense.. ohh well.

did you get the credit card on our own.. or was it co-signed

I've heard of problems when co-signing with your parents..

i can't remember the details.. but it limits the card from online use or something



What kind of credit card is it? Have you tried on from a different Bank?

its a mastercard.. the guy from chemical records e-mailed me saying that he phoned mastercard and the only reason that they are denying it is because it is an international payment... so I have to phone them and straighten it out first. I also tried a visa and it came back the same.
