What are the good US record stores (with shipping)

[Celltek]

After reading a post by Vermi I thought it would be interesting to list some good online record shops based in the US because of the weak Dollar situation. This may mean buying more records for less $$.

but it is not enough to make it up for the low dollar, because of the tax that you would have to pay if the package is caught and also of course the shipping prices from US to EU.

+1.

Get caught at importing and you'll have to pay 20% over the whole price.

This would be the VAT charges i'm guessing

Çan't they just put a sign with "gift" on the package? I thought I read something like that a while ago at a breakcore forum

i ordered A LOT of vinyls from forcedExposure, but i ordered them to my hotel in san francisco while i was there because of the shipping prices.

dont know how the VAT is in holland / other customs fees, but here in norway they are simply too high, so ordering such large quantums is very expensive here.

if the vat / customs isnt a problem in holland, you could always send an email to the store you want to order from and ask about how much they charge for shipping. i think its much for overseas shipping, but i might be wrong.

to get the most out of the weak dollar you should visit the us and buy stuff there hehe

bent crayon is a secret gem...a small shop physically located in Cleveland, Ohio for heaven's sake...and they have a deeper selection than you will find in NYC, San Francisco, LA, or even Chicago's Gramaphone...

***EDIT: However, my experience with the bent crayon is only physically going there - have never ordered from them and I hear some people have had difficulties
