@TAG are you sure you're not starting this thing up cause you already bought to many records last year? ;) I wonder how many you'll end up deciding to keep for yourself! I'll be keen to see what you've got and wish you the best of luck bud!

@Dagar - It's actually been the opposite, I've got a bunch of stuff in that I'd love to keep but its all going on the site!

Well, I might keep one or two for myself… ;)

As I'm in the UK it would be rude not to partake in some purchases ;) count on my custom! Hope all goes smooth with the launch.

Hey Tony

Is there any chance of securing a Carpenter before the site goes live?

@nrs24985 - I'm making the site live on Friday & this is the only place that will know about it before it launches next week & I want it to be fair for everyone to grab stuff so can't really reserve anything.

I'll post up the time when everything goes live if that'll help?

Thanks for support :)

Just wanted to let you guys know I've been working on the postage & packing prices all morning and for some releases they will be slightly higher just because of the weight of the package.

The cost of postage from the UK is just a pain because it can be quite high so where possible I'm keeping the cost of the product as low as I can.

Once again I can't thank all of you enough for your support and encouragement.

All UK packages will be sent via First Class mail & most overseas countries will be sent via International Recorded.
Now this is more expensive but on the plus side, it's trackable so you can see where your stuff is & it arrives a lot quicker than regular air mail.

I've lost too many parcels over the years to overseas shipping so figured this would be the best route to go.
This doesn't apply to all countries though :)

@Chuck - I know buddy, its the worst part about running a store.

It is something I will be monitoring though and if I can make any cuts in cost I shall do.

Excellent news mate, always try and support independant record stores rather than the big boys when I can. Will definitely be having a browse online when it opens.

Good luck @TAG!

I'm sure to be spreading my OST-love around now, especially if you can build relationships with the labels and secure stock of tasty imports etc ;)

Had a peek last night @TAG after I noticed you'd changed your little picture icon - very plush and professional site design - reminded me a lot of Mondo, but easier to navigate than Mondo, without the fussy side bar - a good start!

Only one thing I'd say: a Google search for Shipping Records brought up a lot of nautical data! :)

Anyway, excited for you.

@spun - Yeah that's a bugger right now, I've registered the site at Google but they did mention it would take some time to get it updated.

I'm hopping the logo and name stick with people for now and will be keeping on at the powers that be on the internets :D
