Re: (313) Online ecord stores
Let's not forget, opusrecords.com (downtown 304), they are ideal for picking up house and have been increasing their techno selection as of late, picking up the slack for some of the other online stores that are no longer with us. The other odd store I take a peek at every now and again, if all other options have been exhausted is down in DC, djhut.com. They were the only store we could snag that last Kevin Reynolds. jw On Fri, Apr 18, 2008 at 9:04 PM, Kowalsky <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > People, i'm in a mood of refreshing my roster of online record stores in the > US.

Re: (313) Online ecord stores
Dope Jams gets all the Delsin stuff, but only a few copies...but it's worth checking before dropping more $$ for int'l shipping... Dancerecords.com has a quince ep and the yotoko album on sale right now...i don't think they've been getting any more Delsin stuff since Syntax went down tho On Sun, Apr 20, 2008 at 7:44 PM, dan lucas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Any recommendations for Delsin vinyl?

Juno always worked fine for me. They have a pretty decent site, large stock, lots of audio samples, wishlists, and fast shipping. In one order i placed, the package didn't arrive.

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). jeff forced exposure. great experience every time. email them to make sure what you want is available, especially if it is slighty more uncommon. -- peace, frank dj mix archive: http://www.deejaycountzero.com

I have mentioned here before (but still haven't yet got it out of my system!) that I was shafted by TTL twice in a row so stopped ordering from them and would warn others against doing so. The most recent incident involved them claiming my package was returned to them by the US postal service because it posed a "security threat" (I live in New Zealand, second only to Norway on the Global Peace Index - http://www.visionofhumanity.com/rankings/). TTL decided this was somehow all my fault despite the package having got no further than their local post office, so informed me that if I wanted my records I had to pay for the postage again!! But of course they couldn't guarantee the same wouldn't happen a second time. And they wouldn't refund the postage after I told them to keep the damned things. Interestingly, this all came to pass after I enquired why, according to my account status on their website, the records hadn't been shipped several weeks after I ordered them. They refused to give me any evidence of shipment so I could take it up with the shipping company instead. In fact, they refused to acknowledge any of my emails for a period of months until I gave up and had my credit card take action to reverse the charges. I had a sneaking suspicion the whole time that they had simply forgotten to process my order and were trying to cover up with some bullsh*t story when I asked them about it. In that case a simple apology would have been more suitable. Ironically, I was trying to use a credit note from my previous order which was also problematic. Needless to say, I wouldn't recommend those fools. It seems their quality control went out the window when they went "big time" with the second LA warehouse. [/rant] Andy

Re: (313) Online ecord stores
i should mention that turntable lab often has a lot of obscure represses and hipster disco, and of course they have almost all dfa releases. i don't shop there much because i'm annoyed that their new releases rss feed doesn't distinguish between records and the hundreds of other nonsense products they carry (clothing and accessories, needless tech gizmos, every time they get a restock on gruvglide they add it to their rss feed, it's really dumb) On Sat, Apr 19, 2008 at 3:09 PM, JT Stewart <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > as much as you can find at dancerecords.com (lightning fast shipping > which is often free for orders over 50$, ridiculously huge stock..), > then more boutique type shops like dopejams, emporium50, submerge etc > to fill in the gaps > > i second Tom's question though, why the heck would you order records > from a u.s. store when you live in europe? american labels send the > majority of their stock there anyway, there's probably next to nothing > you can get here that you can't get there > > FE gets a low rating from me, they've sent me the wrong records even > when what i ordered was in stock, and not much of what i order is ever > in stock. kudos to them for providing some much needed distribution > services, but the store is "meh" > > > > > On Sat, Apr 19, 2008 at 7:41 AM, theREALmxyzptlk > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > 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.

Re: (313) Online ecord stores
as much as you can find at dancerecords.com (lightning fast shipping which is often free for orders over 50$, ridiculously huge stock..), then more boutique type shops like dopejams, emporium50, submerge etc to fill in the gaps i second Tom's question though, why the heck would you order records from a u.s. store when you live in europe? american labels send the majority of their stock there anyway, there's probably next to nothing you can get here that you can't get there FE gets a low rating from me, they've sent me the wrong records even when what i ordered was in stock, and not much of what i order is ever in stock. kudos to them for providing some much needed distribution services, but the store is "meh" On Sat, Apr 19, 2008 at 7:41 AM, theREALmxyzptlk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > 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.

People, i'm in a mood of refreshing my roster of online record stores in the US. Can you point some good ones? The store must ship internationally, must be fast and eficient in replying mail and in shipping, must have a good catalog of classics and new releases and must have a decent site interface with audio samples. Thank y'all in advance. Kw
