yes.. dancerecords.com is pretty quick.. selection is alright, not the greatest, but u can find decent stuff. theres also satelliterecords.com, but shipping from that site is kinda costly, processing is not as fast as dancerecords, but selection is superb.. yall can try www.dancegrooves.com, they are in the netherlands i think but shipping is fucking fast as shit.. usually have my stuff in a couple days when i order from them. anyone in souther cali, higher source records is going outta business in october, they have two locations i believe, i've only been to the one in costa mesa/huntington beach.. but i think theres one on melrose as well.. www.highersourcemusic.com so im thinkin at least in store, they should have some good deals.. and regarding the topic of this thread.. it usually takes me 3 weeks to receive orders from chemical records and i live in los angeles.

Just got my order from www.tuneinn.com . It was placed 9/5, it took 8 days to Nevada, that's acceptable to me.

yah you pay 16 bux or watever it is.. so just make sure that you fill up the order to make it worth while, i'm pretty sure u can fit about 5~6tunes before it doubles in shipping cost. they use airborne express, so no1 signs for it, but it is trackable, and yes from the time they process the order, it takes about 2~3 days.. however, it might take them a day or 2 to process the order.. so ur looking about 4~5days from placement of order to receiving tunes. www.juno.co.uk is also really quick, and they use fedex.. but just keep in mind, u r paying for quick delivery, and that doesn't come cheap. chemical has the cheapest shipping rates around, but that is reflected in the delivery time.. or at least to me it does cuz like i said, from chemical it usually takes 3 weeks for me.. and then stupid us customs opens up ur package and sometiems they don't seal it back up.. most of the time they will re-tape it up, but i've gotten a few shipments where the flap on the mailer is wide open.. i was pissed cuz if the mailman is holding it upside down, ur records will spill out onto the floor. bah oh well.. u might try www.dancerecords.com they are in the bay area i think.. not as great of a selection of newer trance but u find stuff, and if ur order is over 50 bux u get free fedex shipping.. good luck man

Wasn't too bad, made 2 orders before took about 7 - 10 bus days.

i've always been a big fan of dancerecords

just made an order from chem records tonite at clyde's advice

found alot of good old stuff.

when you guys order from there do you ever have problems with stuff that is out of stock? i was quite surprised to see alot of the titles i ordered on the list, since most of them were older tracks i wouldn't expect to be instock.

hope all goes well

I was fortunate enough to find Veracocha - Carte Blanche on there and it shipped very quickly. However... that was almost 2 weeks ago. Chem ships fast but it takes forever for the package to get here.

I just bought 4 records from dancerecords.com. I recommend that all you guys subscribe to their new release e-mail newsletter. Its format is alot easier to read then their crap website format. I just bought ATRC and it should be here in a day!

My order from chemical finally turned up, 25 days after i placed the order. It was in a big white sack marked Swiss post. No wonder they take so long if they have to truck to switzerland first.

Posted by Zzyzx on Sep-22-2003 17:35:

Well, my order the Chemical was placed 9/9 and still no shipment as of 9/22. I placed a order with Tuneinn the same day and it came 6 days later 9/15. Looks like Tuneinn took a plane & Chemical took a row boat

I ordered on September 8th, It's now the 21st and still no records. I got all of these promos and stuff that are going to be old by the tim ethey get here!

Posted by vhx1 on Sep-22-2003 18:33:

Well my order on 9/2 finally arrived about 20 days later. It said it was coming from Sweden. Why is that?

Posted by Special_K on Sep-22-2003 19:39:

haha i placed an order for 16 records from them and i live in vancouver.

Been 3 days since i placed the order and i still havnt recieved a confirmation......how long does it usually take for them to process the order?

Posted by farley on Sep-23-2003 06:03:

Actually this week's order took a little longer, about 4 more days than usual and it arrived in a swiss mail sack too??? That's the first time out of the many times I've ordered from them, I guess that's why it took so long too.

If only Chem could find a faster mail carrier it would be the ultimate place, for now it'll just have to settle for the best selection by far.

Posted by vhx1 on Sep-24-2003 05:06:

For 4 records, they shipped extremely fast, less than a day. Might take longer for huge orders like that

Posted by jesten on Sep-24-2003 09:31:

I placed an order Aug 30. Still no sign of it.

Posted by Omegasox on Sep-24-2003 14:04:

Yeah I think they may be using a different mail system. The last 3 orders I've placed have come in Swiss Post sacks.

Last order took 15 days, so not as bad as the previous 2.

Posted by Zzyzx on Sep-25-2003 04:59:

Got my Chem order today. 14 days, via sweden

Wow ive never had a problem with Chemical Records before, but now that Ive read this thread its making me wonder if im goin to get my rekkids soon.

I live on the East Coast though and every time ive ordered, my records came within a week. But still for all u guys that live on the west coast, i dont think that a week or more later to get ur records is justified at all.

Oh yeah Special K, u shuldve gotten a confirmation email immediately. I ordered records on sunday 9/21, got their automatic email confirmation. i went to sleep and woke up monday sept 9/22 to 2 emails from Chem saying my records were packaged up and they had been sent.

So i dunno, i guess they might be going through some shipping crap now or something.

Heads up on www.only-djs.com they have a huge selection of upfront promos..but their shipping to the US is horrendous.. if u order from them u better get a lot of records to make up for their shipping cost!

Posted by surferfb on Sep-25-2003 05:35:

Chemical has been taking a bit longer than usual, and my records have been coming from Sweeden. Price is still the same though so I can't really complain.

Posted by vhx1 on Sep-25-2003 05:42:

For people on the west coast, I recommend dancerecords.com. For me, the 20 day wait is just not worth it. I still have yet to try dancegrooves and juno. However, since they got the FedEx and Airbourned Express options, they should be faster and their selection is very decent.
