I never have/will tryed ODJ cuz I'm really happy with CR and I've olny heard bad things of ODJ . I have a question for you all >> Why do you guys still ordering records from ODJ ?

Because before they changed shippers (which was around Jan 15, 2004) they were amazing.
I love chemical, but there's always a few tunes that I'm looking for that they don't have, but ODJ did a week or 2 ahead of them.

A reply from Andreas at DanceGrooves (I gave them the link to this thread):

Andreas@DG 06/02/2004 21:29 Thanks for letting me know about this! Of course we are aware of the problems in Canada and the strange policies of FB (the partner of Rapid Air/Skynet) regarding customs forms and procedures. The orders that have been shipped to Canada since tuesday are shipped in a different way, which means that there should be (keep our fingers crossed) no more problems. Regarding the packages that are still at FB and for which they are charging about $45 Canadian on top of GST and import duties, please e-mail us your order number and shipment number so that we can try to get this matter resolved. And the same of course for all other orders with delivery problems. Please understand that we were forced to change courier companies as Airborne Express closed their offices over here. We are doing everything we can to make the transition go smoothly, but it is a bumpy road. If the situation is not changing we will find another way to get the orders out to you! Andreas@DG 06/02/2004 21:37 To state it a little more clearly for our Canadian customers. There should be no additional charges (except import duties and GST) on shipments to Canada since Tuesday February 3rd. I hope our customers in Canada can check up on this if this is the case. Because only with this information we can talk to the guys at Rapid Air/Skynet!

What about America? Are we in the clear?
(fingers crossed...)

i think america should be clear for dancegrooves. i've ordered from them a couple times and its always been good. i think they just raised the price of shipping. other than that no problems receiving shipment. i never had to go to some customs place.

Looks like it -- according to their tracking site, mine was delivered to my local post office (university) almost 2 hours ago so I should be getting it tomorrow. Damn university post office closes at 3pm...grrr.

I just went and got mine. I'm fairly certain it has to do with the shipping company only...I'm hoping. If that's the case tehn I will order from chemical and hope I get things ok...

So did they make you go through that crap too??

Hey Walter Mindz,

I just received my order from OnlyDJs.com today. It took longer than usual but I got it.
One weird thing though: I got my order but I did not get MY invoice. I got someone elses invoice ALONG WITH THIS PERSONS VINYLS!? Someone with the username Nesco, his order was sent to me. I already sent this guy an email telling him the situation. Hopefully I can get his order to him to where he lives in Switzerland. And get this... he (or she ) placed this order, that apparently never got to him, January 2, 2004. If you all want my opinion on this, I would stay away from OnlyDJs.com for a while, until they get their kinks worked out. But for those who are worried about the Rapid Air bullsh--, I dont think there is a problem in America. But still the fact that I got this persons order along with mine... you know, if I was in his shoes I would be so off-the-wall pissed, I wouldnt know what to do. Anyone live in Switerland know this person? His first name is Radu.
Take care guys,
Good Luck
Hollen

First of all, I want to apologize for all the mess which is going on with the new shipper!! You as costumer and US as big supplier of vinyls are both * $#$@#$ * up with the mess they (rapid Air/customs) caused! Today we heard that this a WORLD problem, shipping to Canada! Not only "only-djs" or dancegrooves has these problems, from this week on, also Chemical, Juno and all the others has the same problems with delivery in Canada! The customs in Canada hold back the packages WITHOUT any reason! We all try to get behind the reason of this! Canadian customs suck really hard this moment... Airborne had an own take-in service at the Canadian customs, so there was never a problem with extra costs or whatever, they always delivered in time! Now, Rapid Air / Skynet DOESNT have this own take-in service, so we think, the customs in Canada are really making money behind YOURS and OUR backs... We are really working hard to solve this major problem, and to be honest, Iam glad its not only our (only-djs) fault...

If you have any questions, concerning your order, please dont hestitate to send us @ only-djs a Private email, and we handle the problem with all the care you deserve... Email to: [email protected][/email] or [email protected]... Dont send to [email][email protected] as this one is for website problems only...

Take care friends, we try ALL THE BEST to help you!

Yours sincerly,
Pascal

yes, my friend DJ Slav and I are both having the same issues as all of you, he has 2 shipments waiting and i have 3 shipments, 2 from dancegrooves and 1 from juno, they are all delayed and the customs warehouse told me it would cost me approx $50 to release the records due to duty and taxes etc... bullshit i tell you and i can't simply walk over to the warehouse either because i live all the way in Edmonton, Alberta!... i have emailed Andreas at dancegrooves a bunch of times already but i haven't gotten any feedback yet, the last time i talked to him over the phone was about a week ago and he told me that they are trying to deal with it. so if this is the case now with all the good online record stores, i guess i am stick ordering locally... ...
