waiting for records in the mail

Drafted · #1 (**permalink**) Mar 03, 06

drives me nuts with their 3-10 days and allow for up to 30 for customs. But @ the half price of local record shops I can't really complain. The thing is.... I want em now, and I'm about to go postal about it

i reccomend juno records.. everytime i order from them i get my tracks within 4 business days... and they are being shipped from UK.. thats fast in my books

9 times out of 10 my records arrive in less then 5 days from the time they say its shipped. Only had to wait more then 5 days once...no complaints here.

Plus, its always nice to come home from work and see a package of new records waiting for you. Almost as good as payday.

hmm. . . maybe there's something to be said about supporting your local record stores and having your tracks right away?

lol yeah i fuckin hate waiting for records in the mail

i ordered some records like a month ago and i was waiting for like 2 weeks then finally i got an email from the dude saying he was still waiting for my payment....even though the money was already transfered from my paypal.....so i had to sort that shit out before he could even ship the records......i'm still waiting for them

www.chemical-records.co.uk is the best for me so far.....i ordered shit from them AFTER a couple other places and they came in like 4 days from the UK

www.htfr.com is also good for "hard to find records"

www.dancerecords.com has a shitload of stuff but it doesnt do any good cuz they're like %100 out of stock

Not if its going to cost me twice as much money and 50 - 100% more time. I'd shop at local stores if they put their stock list online and kept it updated.

When I mean more time, I mean having to actually head out to the store and then search only to find they don't have what I'm looking for.

with exchange and shipping it ends up costing me somewhere like 2-3 dollars less per record than in local record shops. =P

so i buy online! =)
