Yeah, they're actually only one state away from me. I sent them an email a few hours ago, but if that one doesn't get a reply, I'm going to try posting on their Facebook page and see if I can accomplish anything there. I haven't tried contacting USPS with the tracking number, and I actually didn't even think of that, so thanks for the idea haha. As for whether or not they print things on demand, it seems like some stuff they have on hand and other stuff they print when ordered.

Does anyone have experiences with Musical Hall?

http://musical-hall.com/

Has anyone used

http://vaultofdriedbones.com/

or

http://www.morbidmoonrecords.com/

Apologies if these are duplicates of prior posts.

The guy behind this label is really involved with the Ukrainian black metal scene. He either plays in or does something directly for Nokturnal Mortem. I ordered from him once no problems, I think he sent the CD before the money arrived there.

Has anyone ordered stuff from Nebelklang lately?

When I try to add a shirt to my shopping cart, I get internal server error. I sent an email regarding this about 2 weeks ago and haven't got any response...

Does anyone know if something special is going on with the distro? I don't want to spam them if they're busy with something else.

Both of them are super! I have only had one order with both of them, but it was a perfect deal!

Has anyone noticed anything "off" about The Omega Order lately, along the lines of orders just not arriving?

After four years of being a frequent customer and never losing a single package, two packages (six CDs from the main site, an LP from their Amazon.ca marketplace branch) have vanished into the ether in the past month. The LP might still arrive (it's past its projected arrival date), but the CDs - going on five weeks from New York to South Ontario - are likely gone. I'm just wondering if anyone else has noticed a drop in delivery quality lately, or if I'm just extraordinarily unlucky right now.

Yep, been waiting for 3 weeks, almost a month, for two packages from The Omega Order.

Which is not a big deal, coming from the US to PT it's a long way and it has the customs pit stop that can take some time, the problem is I tried contacting them twice, to know how I can track the packages that come with "Intl Tracked Lite" (yeah, the **Tracked** and the big increase in posting costs made me optimistic), and haven't got a single reply in more than a week. Still have some weeks to complain with paypal though.

Yeah, their customer service is...questionable for such a big distro. I shot over an email through the proper channels on Tuesday (four weeks to the day since they shipped from the main site) and still haven't received a reply.

Other than the obvious inconvenience, I don't mind when orders get screwed up; it's just a fact of shipping things across borders, and I would wager that roughly one in fifteen of my orders will simply vanish before they reach me. But I've got $72 riding on the parcel from the main site that never arrived, so that's why I want to speak with a customer service person so badly.

Well, I guess they will wake up when I open a paypal dispute, if the things don't arrive first. Just want my damn tracking number

Can anyone tell me if Life is Abuse (http://lifeisabuse.blogspot.com/) is reliable? I ordered a CD from them a few weeks ago and haven't received or heard anything from them. Thanks

I wager that whoever manages the customer service on their Amazon marketplace location is different from whoever manages the main site. They gave me a refund for my Amazon order no problem, and I immediately used the money to re-order my LP from importCDs, a marketplace seller who has never let me down yet. Meanwhile, almost a week on and no response from the main site people. Big difference.

Anyone have luck with http://www.evil-rising.com/

Anyone knows if Mistress Dance Records stills running?
I've emailed two weeks ago asking if some stuff still available and there's no response...
I've read the one behind this distro is really slow answering, but i wanna know if it's reliable, and if the shipping is as slow as the communication...

I sent an email many months ago, still no answer...

Same thing happened to me with the Old Outpost. Can't make an order because no one answered any of the e-mails I sent.

I know it's been mentioned a few times, but I just had an awesome experience with Teutonic Satan (http://www.teutonicsatan.com/) - Aaron got back to me quickly about my order and even sent it insured at my request because my post office sucks and loses shit all the time. Tape-only disro with great black metal titles - will be ordering again!

I also always have great experiences with Bindrune/Worm Gear distro (http://bindrunerecordings.com/distro/) - been ordering from Marty for years now. He carries a variety of genres but you can bet if it's in his distro, it's good shit.

Have anyone ever made any orders with: Runenstein Records ?

yeah, thanks for the info.
the web is absolutely dead. Not updated since may.

and still without answer, too

Got my CD from these guys today, so they are reliable, albeit a little slow at sending out orders.

I advise anyone getting seduced into buying rare merch "found in the vaults" from Nachtmystium directly will get ripped-off. They are shameless in their thievery as well, ripping-off almost every single person that buys the items at any given time. There are literally hundreds of pissed off buyers on their Facebook page. I attempted to buy the re-issue tape of the Live Onslaught they were selling after "finding" some copies, however no one ever received them. Same goes with tour posters and test presses they were selling before that. Scumbag band, of which I will never support again, and I will avoid owning anything that band has released on principle.

Assuming this is happening as you put it then it's a really fucked up thing.

Are there any good, or at least recommendable, European distros that have good merchandise? I'm thinking bands long-sleeves.

Is www.kvlt.fi reliable? They've got quite a few things I'd love to have..

Finally received an email this morning saying that they'd ship my order before the end of the week. We'll see...

yes, same here. Ordered couple of CDs in the early september, and than 4 CDs two weeks later (alarm in my head was beaten by great reduced prices). NOTHING has arrived. Even I'm in Lithuania, that's too long, cause I ordered some Cds from other US sellers lately, and all the packages are here. Tried to contact The Omega Order Customer service almost 2 weeks ago - no answer. BEWARE, guys. Going to open Paypal disputes now.

That's way too long. My two orders took about 5 weeks to arrive.

Anyone have any experience ordering from Primal Vomit Records?

Hoodie from Shop Shogun showed up today in the mail. Only took a few months, but hey, it's here. They don't exactly get my highest recommendation, but perhaps it was a one time screw up.

...


Both yes, and there was no complications at all.

Has anyone ordered from the Slough Feg website?

Are Pagan Records from Poland reliable? They seem so and I ordered from them some 20 days ago and have gotten no reply.

Is darzimadius records from macedonia reliable?
They said that only way to pay is send moneys in registered letter. They dont accept example bank transfer or paypal.

I know this is a bit late, but Sevared are great to deal with! Excellent prices, great communication & fast delivery!

Has anyone ordered from Unique Leader recently and got their order quickly? I remember back when I used to order from them it would take a month or longer to receive the items.

Do not send them your money, totally unreliable. Also, the country is called the F.Y.R.O.M.

Ancient Darkness Productions from Denmark is totally reliable. He send quickly and good packing.

How reliable is The Omega Order and Open Grave Records? Both have pretty cheap prices on some stuff, so I'm hoping it isn't to good to be true.

I dont know from Open Grave, but The Omega Order is totally slow distro. Do not order from them, if u want get your stuff quickly.

I only ordered from Open Grave once, about four years ago, but I found their shipping uncomfortably slow.

The Omega Order, I'm never touching again. I used to be a frequent customer despite the less-than-awesome shipping time (But I live in Canada, so I accepted it as the border or Canada Post mucking up), but dealing with their customer service will sour you on them, guaranteed. If something goes wrong, their customer service just doesn't give a fuck. In my experience, they just don't answer you, period. Their deals can be tempting, but if you can find the same items elsewhere for the same price, why take the risk?
