for me in the uk its not just the cost of delivery that puts me off.
its also the fact that i'm never home when records are delivered, which is fine with the normal postal system as i just go to the local post office to pick them up, but with these special delivery services the place i'd have to go to pick them up is 30 miles away!

Yes, iam all reading this. And I also replied several times, explaining and advising. But seems that people are not taking time
to read that.
But 1 thing. Watch the shipping rates later this week.

I would love to order from NL but the cost of delivery is just way too high. I am in USA and i am studying Supply Chain Management here. This seems like a problem with the supply chain. From a customer service point of view, i think you need to asses the amount of orders that you get and see how many are from outside Holland. I am sure there are other carriers available. If most of the online orders are from outside NL next thing is to give customers the option on selecting their carrier service. From here i think you will satisfy most of the people. If they want fast delivery they will have to pay a premium (usaully the case). Well just some feed back from a (hopefully) future customer I love the vinyls you guys stock and i respect all the work you put into getting the site updated all the time. You can use CPFR for fulfilling vinyl orders to your store to minimize backorders (you canlook up the definition on google; Walmart is an example of a company that uses CPFR)
Just a thought because i do not know the exact status of the business and shipping rates...UPS? Fedex? for the international orders (at least to USA) and some local or European carrier for European orders?
I hope some of this random diarreah of the mouth helps!
Thanks.

That is only somewhat correct. 4 DJ's Only is a brand new shop with some similarities to Only-DJ's. A few things that seperate them is
1) It's being run by someone who knows what their doing.
2) Shipping fees are the same as Dancegrooves and Recess and the records are cheaper to buy AND are shipped faster.
3) As of January 1st, it will be the cheapest record shop in Holland.
2: Not true at all. please compare. dancegrooves shipping is lower and even recently decreased. If have been reading this various times now. please check your source.
also dancegrooves is online for 6 years now, without bankruptcy and a loooooooooot of satisfied customers and the bst service to make unhappy customers happy again

besides the shipping rates, ofcourse the weak dollar to euro conversion is bad in your case atm. the shipping rates the european shops can influence, and recently for example dancegrooves went down in shipping. though the exchange rate is something beyond every non us shop's power unfortunately.

Hey mates
Finally we solved the shipping costs problem. For Europe / Usa & Canada we installed a NEW shipping method called BUDGET SHIPPING , Shipping prices are atleast 50% / 70& cheaper then with RapidAir/Skynet.
Still, 16 dollars USD, untrackable, will still screw your business. There's no bargain at all. I don't see why you don't use fedex like Juno does, or why its so difficult in the first place.
