Hey Walter Mindz,
If your tracking didnt make it past the airplane photo, then what does it mean since my tracking has made it into their warehouse? Does that mean I am in the clear? And if that is the case for me, could there have been a problem with Canadian customs for you?:conf: |

I feel the same way. Both great stores with great selection but after reading this thread, I dobut i'll ever order from them again. I didn't even really like Airborne all that much anyways.
Guess Chemical and Juno will see more of my business now. |

Hey guys, i went through all the steps to get my records. I was stuck in the same boat.
I got a call from a Broker ( Customs ) and they said they had the release papers for my records which I had to sign to get my records. So I go there, and walk into this hole, honestly... it was a hole. They were sitting on those pleather chairs you buy from a garage sale that your 60 year old neighbour stole from his office back when he was 27. It was GHETTOOOO.....
Anyways, back to the main point. I sign the papers and say "Ok where is my package" - expecting them to have it. They say.... oh you have to go here and they give me the adress, its about 20 mins away from them and its at the warehouse. Only thing, before I go to the warehouse I have to go to the airport ( Customs ) and give them my signed release papers so they approve them and ask me about 1 million questions about the package and what its for and what im doing with them etc... wether I make money from DJ'ing or not etc etc etc...
So finally, i wait in a stinkin line for about an hour get my stamped and im on my way to the warehouse which is located in Bum Idaho. I couldnt find the place for the longest time. Finally, Im there, i walk inside and they tell me to use the backdoor for some stupid reason, which pissed me off cause I had to go outside and walk around, and it was hellda windy and cold! So I walk into the warehouse and speak to this lady show her the papers and she gives me my records. I then remember that Chris ( endlesswave) had the same problem so i asked if they were holding his records, and BAM there they are. I saw about 7-8 Packages with records there. One being RabbitJoker's. - He thought it was lost in the shipment.
Anyways... The reason for this whole thing happening now is....
THIS IS HOW THE NICE LADY AT THE WAREHOUSE EXPLAINED IT.
Vinyl is in high demand now, alot of people are ordering it so it became a commercial import. They no longer do Domestic imports with Vinyl. So now YOU Will have to go through this every time. She said, to save some time, get an Import Number and you wont have to go through so much trouble again and you will save on GST (If you're in Canada)
Anyways.... I Find this a load of crap! Im not ordering from ODJ's again until this whole thing is fixed. From now on its Local stores and Ebay. |

Depends how many records you ordered.. if it's between 1-3 chances are that'll go right to you. The Customs thing might be different in the States too.

I always loved Chemical Records, but they're slow on getting "some" records, but not often. I know from now on they'll be getting most of my business. |

ive had a package missing since the start of december $200 out of my pocket.
emailed countless times with no response, phoned them no one answers, faxed them with no reply.
YET they are still updating their website daily with new records and sending out other orders to people?
on the other hand, chemical are excellent and always have been. never once had a problem with them, have always been quick to reply to emails and their shipping is not only very cheap but also very quick out here to australia. infact its even faster than airborne/dhl! |

Ok, so now after waiting 3 days for Customs to clear my package I finally get it from the warehouse ---- 20mins away, but what now???? I had to pay some fee I never even heard of before... "Terminal and Handling" and extra $20 WTF!!! Never again will I order from ODJ!!!
All and All for 2 packages (1 for me and 1 for my brother) total cost for customs and Terminal and Handling cost....$87.23. Now factor in the cost of gas for the jeep to drive around to these places.... total Cost: $107.23. WTF IS THAT!!!! NEVER AGAIN!!!
Thank god for Chemical! |

They tried to pull that on me too with an order on Jan. 14... I had to talk to them twice before they resent it to me. Their excuse was the Airborne had sent it back. :rolleyes: Just keep calling... they don't answer the phone much, but you can get a hold of them... just make sure you call them when they're open...10am-5pm Dutch time. |

The best place to order vinyls is Chemical-Records, that place owns it !!!!
1st>Always find what I'm looking for !
2nd> S&H is cheap
3rd> Orders It take 5-7 days to arrive.
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 ? |

this was only the second time i had ordered from them, only reason i decided to pay so much to have them sent out to me was so that i could get certain records released (because they get them before anyone else) on dutch labels in time for a couple of events i was playing at... so much for that! :whip: |

| Ha yeah I used to go through only-dj's.com, but their mail service is ridiculous! try vinylwarning.com.au They have an awesome selection; and if you ship in bulk the fees aren't bad! plus their customer service is A++ and very quick, most oreders are shipped the same day their placed! |
