I have had good experiences with the following German mailorders:

Nuclear Blast - http://shop.nuclearblast.de
EMP - www.emp.de
Grau Mailorder/Prophecy Productions - www.grau.cd
Metal Merchant - www.metalmerchant.com
RockHard Shop - www.rockhard.de , then click "Online Shop"

...and, easily the friendliest of them all:
HevyDevyRecords - www.hevydevy.com

www.napalmrecords.com - Never had a single problem with these folk. Great service.
www.emp.de - Great selection of stuff, and fast delivery. I have however had issues with poor packaging and have found communication with them to be difficult.

www.supernalmusic.com - I've been shopping with this place for years. They are very reliable and their customer service is pretty good, plus the proprietor actually knows his shit when it comes to extreme metal.

A few people have told me that Supernal isn't very reliable.

 

[Life Sucks]

The shop at www.relapse.com is reliable, and it carries many really obscure, hard to find CDs.

Maybe they've had a different experience, but I've been buying stuff from them for about five years now, I think, and never had any hassle.

well that sucks! I just placed an order! They've got some really good hard to get albums. December Wolves - Completely Dehumanized, Melechesh - As Jerusalem Burns, Sublime Cadaveric Decomposition 1, Yattering's debut re-issue, Houwitser's first album...... good stuff.


www.displeasedrecords.com has a good selection and good prices, but they send-out damaged goods....so.......

I usually go with www.mymusic.com . It's not quite as big or full featured as Amazon.com but it has the basics for a good store. They have song samples for most albums aswell. Much better quality than Amazon. I don't buy unless I hear a bit of the CD so that is a must. Prices are pretty good and their service is top-notch.

ill second the end records ... im in australia and have had good service from them.

what do you mean by damahed goods?

Well, every single order i've ever gotten from them included CDs with cracked cases, smashed cases (even cracked-up spines) broken teeth. I don't know if it's down to the non-existent protective packaging or them being shipped like that (I suspect both) but trust me, if you order from Displeased your going to have to replace at least a few jewel cases.
