Where to get good vinyls online without CRAZY shipping fees?

So im trying to find some killer tunes:

Koenig Cylinders - 99.9 (a classic that i need)
Mauro Picotto - Taotek & playing footsie
Kobbe - USA Agression

ive found some website that have them but the shipping is 24 dollars american! Any suggestions?

PS. WHY DOESNT TRANCEADDICT OPEN UP AN ONLINE VINYL STORE!
seriously!

I saw tao-tek at play de on Friday. I nearly picked it up.

Wherever you buy, expect to pay $20 for a record.
I suggest www.juno.co.uk or www.djmr.com .

That's a good issue to discuss:

I play DnB (but I'll post on a trance forum cause I still like it)
and most Uk record stores will charge between 2-3 Pounds for shipping.

BreakBeat science.. which is in NYC.. charges 24 usd.

It usualy has to do with the size of the enterprise and their customer base.

Exemple: Red eye records sends out 20 000 records a week,
they don't mind using normal carrier mail that has 5% of their vynils come back broken. they make up for it with volume.

Breakbeat science can't afford to have 5% of their 5 000 shippings get broken, so they use extra safe mail.

a good place to get records without crazy shipping charges, i would say is www.djmr.com. its a record store in montreal with a pretty good selection of records, and is always updated. one problem i have had with this site is it might be a little hard to navigate once you start using it, but its not hard to get the hang of it.
