NO SELF-PROMOTION
This thread is for reviews of online metal distros (not traders, you can do that here). You can mention places for folk/noise/whatever too I guess. I made a little template but as long as you're clear it doesn't matter how you post. Try to keep it to places you've ordered from more than once unless your experience was particularly bad. Redundancy is good so post about a place someone else has if you can.
Template works like this:

Template works like this:
What country you are from: For reference with shipping times
Distro name (website)
Country: Where the distro is
Selection: What sort of music they sell
Orders: How many times you've ordered from them (approximate)
Shipping: How long orders take to arrive
Secure: Whether the site has a secure shopping cart setup. If you see a padlock on your browser at checkout then probably yes. If not than you should list what other ordering methods are available.
