FE is fine if what you want is in stock.
Speaking as someone who'd like to keep on *current* things domestic
and abroad musically, it's not so hot.
It won't do to wait on them to get in much of anything that's
limited, and it's a crap shoot waiting to see if they'll get the
records in which create a buzz here. Usually it's a losing bet. On
the other hand, they'll often roll out a huge back-catalogue of a
label which wasn't that hot last year.
It depends on what you want. They are efficient and fast if you
specify you want backorders skipped and shipping asap, but as far
as keeping *consistently* current on things (save mostly the
'trendy' ends of techno, the Soul Jazz catalogue, and the odd gem
here and there) - and especially as Tom mentioned, the Detroity
stuff - you're better off elsewhere. I use a mail order service
(PBE) which is run out of NY.
No online site with interactive samples, etc, but excellent and
faster service with a more varied stock (including imports).

forced exposure. great experience every time. email them to make sure
what you want is available, especially if it is slighty more
uncommon.
