dodgy online record stores
Hello everybody just a little plug for reality-rekords.com which is due to open around end of april mid may time
After spending half my life trawling around records shops for decent tunage me and my m8 have decided to open our own worlwide record store we have over 32 yrs experience in house music and hopefully will provide a good service to everybody who buys from us .
Initially the store will open with a back catalogue of around 5000 recs and new releases on top of that figure inc house,tribal ,prog ,trance blah blah .
We would appreciate all feedback from future customers and any ideas now on what kind of store you guys would like
cheers neil
What i really like in a webstore is the number of records in stock, or at least a marking saying "no stock". I've ordered a few records in different stores only to find out later that some were not available, and had to wait longer than a month for them to come. That sucks.
Also be sure to reply all emails quickly, very quickly. Long samples and samples of each track in a 12" as a plus 
Yeah i agree you cant sell records that are not in stock so it will say not in stock .
and records that never arrive or take too long to arrive is something both me and moz have experienced particularly htfr and dfm ,in fact moz has about £100 worth of vinyl still outstanding .
And samples will be provided too and maybe pictures .
anyway cheers for your thoughts

I ordered six records; after 1 month i had not received them so i contacted them and they said not all where in stock and they where holding them so they could ship them all at once, which seemed reasonable to me. After 1.5 months i received 2 of the records. After 2.5 months i received two more. And then just the other day i received 1 more, after nearly 4 months of waiting. The last of the six they say is unobtainble, but is listed on their site as in stock. Obviously they do not stock what they have listed on their site as 'in stock'. I ended up paying a bunch for shipping too because they sent my order in 3 parts. The records did arrive in good shape, but nonetheless, i will not be ordering from them again. |
3 beat can suck my balls..... fucking assholes
Anyone else had ordering problems with www.mix5.com?
i think mix5 is closed since a lot of time

let me just say that bastard htfr say they have a record. theyll even advertise it on their website front page and then when u order it they had run out days ago and u are 30th in the queue again, gits
also they charge at least 15 - 20% more on vinyl and hardware before postage. i can get a 500 mixer 90 pound cheaper elsewhere with ease

Release Records is top notch. Its Canada based and i received my records in 3 days. Good selection and cheap shipping for Canada at ~$2.97. Even though some records are expensive, the shipping aint too bad.
Chemical Records. Its been 13 days from shipping date, where the fuck are my records?! Not happy with chemical, ******s.
Usually its the mail carriers fault that it takes so long. It could have been searched by customs, which usually adds a nice delay to

someone earlier asked about release records. i can say that release knows their shit. i have been dealing with them since i started spinning. i lived in toronto and they were great. now i reside in korea they ship here well. although expensive, but i get good service. the dude encharge of the online stores is dry but knows his job and does it: mitch is his name, if you have any problems just talk to him. max graham lives above the store and is a regular, if that means anything...also they tell you when they post the new releases so everyone has a chance at those limited promos...
i can honestly say don't doubt release....if your order is lost and you are a regular customer they replace it...also, juno and tune inn will do that too (for regulars)...
OH YEA ... good luck trying to find a store that gives you better samples...high quality and long....
hope this helps .. .

Well, I have had my decks for 3 years now, and have mostly used Juno. In all that time I have only once had any problems, and that was just the wrong record getting sent in an order, and even then they sent out the right record straight after I told them of their mistake. So, I generally use Juno. I have used Dancegrooves once, and it took about a month for my records to arrive (from Holland to the UK) so I wont be using them again. I have also used Tuneinn twice, one time no problems, the second time they only had about 8 of the 10 or so records I ordered in stock. Still not bad though, I'd use them again. But I'd say Juno is my number one.
thinkin about pickin up some stuff fomr planetxusa.. anythin i need to know before i do?
If your gonna by from planetxusa you need to be prepared for them to be assholes to you. They have this availability indicator: green means "in stock", blue means they can maybe order it, and black means its deleted and almost impossible to get.
I always order all green ones, because they are suppose to be in stock. Once they emailed me and told me that 3 of the records I picked out were actually no in stock, and they changed it to blue, and told me I didnt meet the minimum order requirement so they tried to get me to pick out more records.
I have had a couple other problems with them too and they are always assholes about it. I wouldnt recommend buying from them unless the tune is not available anywhere else.
In summary: their prices are high and their service is horrible.
Try satelliterecords.com, globalbeats.com, or essentialgroove.com
Dotvinyl again
Long time since something about dotvinyl has been posted in here for the last time!
Well, unfortunately I didn't read this thread b4 ordering at their store - and it looks like I've been ripped off!
I ordered the 2003 Whitelabel release of Atlantis vs. Avatar - Fiji (incl. Sorority Sex Kittens Rmx), cause they were they only one's still having it on stock... at least I thought they do.
So, same thing that happened to all the others experiencing problems with dotvinyl - NOTHING happened! No order confirmation e-mail (only from Worldpay to confirm the charge of my CC), money has been charged the day after ordering and there's no way to cantact them. Only one of their e-mail adresses works at all (email@dotvinyl.com) - failure notices on the other one's. But, of course, they don't reply on the working one aswell. I didn't try to phone them, cause I absolutely don't know why I should waste even more money phoning from Germany to the UK!
Anywayz, I mailed them twice now - no replies. I give them one more week, if I have no vinyl then and no e-mail reply aswell I'll phone my CC company and the payment will be charged back!
Btw, they apologized for past problem on their website on the 1st of May this year and said everything's OK again now... looks like it's not!
So, I can only recommend to stay away from dotvinyl.com! They suck bigtime! I'll keep you updated if anything happens (as if)

If you're looking for vinyl or CD's that you think can no longer be found, try http://www.cdexpress.com/ They have found jems that were long out of print, and they are reasonably priced (better than HTFR). If the vinyl or CD is out of print, don't worry. If it's on their web site, they can get it. It might take them up to 21 days to find it, but they do!! They don't bootleg, or press their own. They are all original factory CD's or Vinyl.
I give them 5 stars for their effort and availability to find things that have been long gone.
Let The Rush Come!
