Ok, I order my records from Chemical Records because their shipping is so damn cheap. Look at this comparison.

Juno
BBE Free KOS 2045 12" £5.54
ANGEL BEATS Brightness FOG 043 12" £5.54

Sub Total £11.08
Shipping £5.60
GRAND TOTAL £16.68

Chem
Angel Beats :: Brightness :: Fog Area Records :: £5.73
FOG043
Angelic Touchdown :: Marinero [Nu Nrg Rmx] :: Extra Wild :: £5.73
XTRV003
BBE [S.H.O.K.K] Free KOS2045 £5.73
Kosmo Records

Sub Total £17.19
Shipping £3.09
GRAND TOTAL £20.28

I have wondered this for a long time. Why the heck is shipping from Juno so damn expensive?? It makes absolutely no sense to me. The shipping for 3 records from chem was less than an order of 2 records from Juno. Does anyone else think this is completely absurd?

Never noticed that but if it's true then it's strange, they are both based in the UK and could have been using the same cheap shipping method.

dunno why they are so expensive, but they are the best, I order records on sunday and they get here tuesday morning (I live in the US)

i ordered 7 vinyls a month ago .. and i still havent received them
i know that because i'm in brasil, the records take longer to arrive, but 1 month is much more than i expected ..
and they dont replay to my e-mails and the messages i sent by the customer services enquiry form

About when did you order them? I had a similar problem. On the 28th of November '02 I placed an order with juno (6 vinyls), we'll call this order #1. I placed another order for 3 vinyls on the 1st of December '02, order #2. On the 12th of December '02 I placed order #3 (9 vinyls).

16th of Dec '02 - order #2 arrives (15 days).

22nd of Dec '02 - order #3 arrives (10 days).

still order #1 hasn't arrived... I waited until like the 28th of Dec and finally rang them, asking wtf was going on. The guy explained politely that at the begining of December (the order was shipped on the 1st of Dec) Juno had hired another shipping company because of the christmas rush (they had lots of orders) and apparrantly there had been shitloads of reports from customers saying that their orders hadn't been delivered (all shipped at the begining of Dec). I was told to wait until the 1st of January before ringing back, since that would make it one calender month from the shipping date, and their policy is if the package hasn't landed in one calender month, they'll resend. I rang them back after it had been one calender month and the guy advised me to wait a few more days because the delayed packages has started arriving at their destinations... I regained my hope that it would arrive, because this was a better outcome than getting my order resent, half of which would now be out of stock! Anyway Saturday the 11th of Dec came and I decided I would ring them back and tell them to resend the order as soon as they opened on Monday... then a knock at the door... and it finally arrived.

So anyway, there's a chance if your order was shipped at the begining of Dec '02 that it went with this dodgy shipping company and is suffering major delays... you can ring them and request they resend the package if it has been over a month since it was sent, or wait and it'll probably get there.

If there shipping wasn't so expensive I would order from them for sure because they have so many more tracks I like than Chem does. Maybe if they lessen their prices, I mean 2 pounds per vinyl shipped?!?! Wtf.

actually it's not 2 pounds per record, the more records your order contains, the less will be the shipping cost per record

No because most of the time juno has there tunes first. I rather spend the cash for newer tunes so cash is not the thing.

Hey you live in Canada Mike, how long does it usually take to arrive, how many buisiness days ?

This is from Chem Records btw, dont care about juno because i usally don't have a lot of dough.

Cash is an issue for me

Depends if customs get the package or not. If they do open it etc it will be about a month, if they don't it usually arrives in about 7 or less days. Once it came in 3 days!!!

If cash is the issue then then don't order records.

Probably.. I'll wait a few days and hope that they answer my messages.
