Alternative Music Buying Sites

[Make me your Dream Life 87,821]

I wasn't really sure where to get this topic posted, but since Lana's music is pretty much well known, I'd like to think that other (at least popular(?)) music artists etc. would be made available on other of the same sites too so.

Just wanted to start a collection of reputable sites for other people to share w each other to buy vinyls, cd's music merch etc. : 
Aside from her official store, and the universal one too. 
(links below anyway: 
Store: 
https://shoplanadelrey.com

Universal:
https://store.universalmusic.com/lanadelrey/)

America:

uMUSIC: it's actually Canadian, but they've currently got a free shipping promo for orders over 35 CDN.
https://shop.umusic.ca/search.html?term=lana+del+rey

Amoeba Music: it's actually based in CA, but it ships to the US nationwide for free so. 
https://www.amoeba.com

Urban Outfitters: 
https://www.urbanoutfitters.com/vinyl-records-cassettes

Merchbar: based off SF in California.(used this for an AU shipment. went smoothly) 
https://www.merchbar.com/search?q=lana%20del%20rey&p=1

Also, sites like Amazon and ebay of course. I know that it's pretty thin, I usually buy records at local stores but please lemme know which other sites ya guys've used. America and Europe, worldwide, and I'll edit the post. 

UK: 
HMV: 
https://www.hmv.com/

'Course we've got official sites 'n shops. but wanted to get this going since not everyone's gonna be able to get news, or just might wanna buy products long after they've been released, timelines, diff editions, and possible hard to find vinyls/items. 

Ok, so if anyone's got any great sites they wanna share, and their experience w them, sound off! 



*haven't personally used. maybe someone else can provide more info.

In the UK, we have HMV (https://www.hmv.com/) and Rough Trade (https://www.roughtrade.com/) which are both reliable sites. And there is The Sound of Vinyl (https://thesoundofvinyl.com/), although not sure what country this one is based in!

jpc.de is amazing, you should definitely add them to the list! They're a bit on the pricy side, but they're super reliable and offer pretty much everything. They'll even import Japanese and other regional versions of some albums (great for collectors who are hunting for bonus tracks), plus sometimes they even have a limited contingent of vinyl that is otherwise exclusive to HMV, Sainsbury's, FNAC etc., which is great because these sometimes don't ship internationally. I got my blue Ray Of Light from jpc, for example. They also offer an "artist alert", so whenever they add a product by an artist you follow, you'll get a notification. Shipping is super cheap within Europe and I believe even beyond.

cede.com is based in switzerland and my go-to storw for books and CDs. Probably interesting for people from the DACH area.

 

also, jpc.de for germany

Thought it was worth leaving this here in case anyone thinks of buying from FNAC.

 

(posted in the Charli XCX thread about some vinyls on sale which have been out of stock for ages and have been really hard to find anywhere)

FNAC has THE worst reputation any store could ever have lmfao. I doubt y'all will ever see those vinyls or get your money back

You can buy unreleased songs on MAXIPADS I heard, but it is a top secret invite only group on the website Discord by Polish hackers.

nah fnac is totally reliable. trustpilot is quite inaccurate since people most of the time only go out of their way to post a review when something went wrong. All my favourite stores have a rating of about 2 stars on there

[SlowGinFizzzz 15,354]

Yeah I can also confirm that FNAC is great. Ordered Fine Line (limited edition), Future Nostalgia (limited picture disc), and Madame X (limited double picture disc) just last month because they had a 20 % discount on vinyl and they literally sent my stuff from France to Austria within two days.

 

However, I wouldn't be surprised if the sudden sale of Number 1 Angel/Pop 2 vinyls is a mistake and orders end up being cancelled.

I'm bumping this for future Lana records. 

So far we have the Assai records page. 
and all the other ones going on w the yellow vinyl. 

anyone have any shopping site reviews they want to share?
