hey is cduniverse.com reliable?

CDUniverse ship worldwide with FedEx, and foreign customers have to pay custom fees (because all their packages are marked as "import merchandise"). I've had to pay 25,00 EUR for a 5CDs-package. But the good thing is that they took only 2 days to arrive at my home (from USA to France)

FedEx is fast but expensive, not a good choice if you order internationally

Does anybody know what's going on with The Basar North America? They were supposed to reopen a couple of days ago.

I fucking hate CD Universe! My preorder for Dark Space III was turned into a back order. They're telling me that if it doesn't ship by 6/25 it will cancel. I'm never preordering from them again.

I'm not sure about the rest of you but I don't consider online merchants like Cduniverse, cdbaby, amazon... to actually be distros, yes you can obtain metal music through them but its usually at a heavily marked up price

Buying used on Amazon is often awesome.

Reckless Records and Metal Haven, ftw.

Pros: Fast shipping, professional, good selection.

Cons:
Could be a little cheaper I guess.

Has anyone boughten anything from Liegelord7(eBay)? The seller is from Greece and all that bootleg talk makes me not want to buy, i'd rather not waste my money on a bootleg. I'm not sure if i'll get an answer here though.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Don't buy.

 

[rms]

Damnit, I can't find the fucking Ironsword CD or Wotan anywhere, except that fucker.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

You can't find it from him either, because it's probably a bootleg.

You can get the Wotan CD's from VJR -
http://www.violentjourneyrecords.com/distro.htm - way more secure?

I have found like 2-3 shops in EUrope that do it, but Id ont want to bother personally. I guess i'll keep waiting on SKR to restock them, even though his Ironsword cd is @ 15$

@v5, oh very nice. ill keep that on my watch list. I recommend his stuff, he sells ALOT of LPs and CDs.

TheEnd can take anywhere from a really long time to never to restock.
