oh, do NOT get me started guys, I have been ripped off a number of times, what I like is how Dance Music Finder (alleged fierce rivals of HTFR) keep slagging off HTFR on their site, saying they stole a website address from them, bla bla bla and how crap HTFR are. Well, let me tell you, Dance Music Finder are absolutely NO better than HTFR, I went on the DMF site and found a lot of stuff that they said were "in stock" and I had ordered them all, there was some massive rare stuff like Auranaut - Ppl Want To Be Needed on Barracuda and a few other bits, including a Dance Opera release of Airscape - L'esperanza with the alleged DJ Tiesto Remix as well as a couple of others, so I think to myself, woohoo, Im gonna order these, about a week after I've ordered I get a parcel in the post that was rather um, light? I thought, hang on a sec here, where are all the tunes? I open the parcel up pull out the 1 record that was in there with the invoice and I read the invoice that says just Airscape on there, and I look at the record and guess what, they sent me the Xtravaganza release of L'esperanza with the fucking Original and Svenson Goes To Loveparade Mixes which I already have, so they sent me the wrong record, and charged me £15 fucking quid for a record I could so easily get on ebay for about £4-£5! so I go bananas and I ring up DMF and tell them that they had sent me the wrong vinyl, they apologised to me and took my customer number etc and said to send it back to them and they would give me a refund, so I take some extra time off at lunch time to head down the post office and get it sent to them, paying about £3 in postage, I then hear nothing.....1 week I think, hmm, oh well I'll just wait for the bank statement to come through, it comes through and I see no refund made by DMF but their charge appears on there (charging me about £18 in total, including the postage). So I think, dont worry, I'll give them a call on Monday (I got the statement on Friday) - I then ring them up and ask them if they had got the record back and then the guy said "hold on" (no please or anything) and 5 minutes later he comes back and says "yes? what do you want?" I then explain the whole issue again as this was a different guy, he checks on the system says they have records of it being sent back to me, and that they would refund me as soon as possible, to cut the story short (err, short you say? I've typed about 500 lines!!) about 3 weeks later I still had no refund and I was wasting my time and money ringing these ******s, so I was screwed out of £18 and they even got the record back, bunch of wankers! This was a few months ago now, but what a bloody disgrace, nobody *EVER* use Hard To Find or Dance Music Finder!!!!!!
The other records I later found out they never had in stock and just as well they didnt charge me for those, if they did I'd travel to Birmingham to fucking kick some serious arse! A friend of mine told me that when he travelled to the HTFR shop there was a guy there who's wife was in a wheelchair and he was taking her into the shop, and the staff told her to go outside as they didnt allow wheelchairs in the shop, what sort of company are they? discrimation or what! the guy went nuts at them (and quite right too!) and they booted him out of the shop and refused to serve him - trust me, AVOID!
Also, avoid dotvinyl too, they have been having a lot of problems lately, where people have ordered stuff and the order has never been sent to them and people are having problems emailing and phoning the company.
The only record shops worth looking at are Above The Sky, Replay, Chemical, Juno, Recess, Only-DJS and GermanTrance
Kind Regards,
P.S. Fucking hell I need a pint after typing all this out! :O
