pamfletty Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Hi there! I'm quite new to VC, but i'm glad I found this place! I wanted to ask, since I live in Belgium, what are some good European distros and/or online shops? The shipping costs for getting stuff from America are quite high and import taxes are brutal. I like all sorts of music: punk, hardcore, rock, classic bands, indiestuff, a lonely guy and his guitar, ... I saw there was already a thread on good distros and browsed through it, but most of them are based in the States. So if anyone know of a good place to score vinyl in Europe, please share! Thanx!

pamfletty Posted February 17, 2012 Author Share Posted February 17, 2012 Posted by jodi on Today at 15:47greenhell.de has alot. But sometimes it's cheaper to buy in the US even with the customs and shipping costs. If you don't have to pay import taxes it is cheaper, but it's so random. Last time i ordered from the US, the cost of shipping and import taxes was higher then the actual total cost for the 4 lp's. But in the past i have ordered up to 8 lp's without having to pay import taxes... as a worker from Flight13, I know that our shipping to Belgium isn´t that high! Yeah i checked it, it's about half of what greenhell.de charges.

overture Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 cmdistro.de They raised their shipping prices recently though (was 2 euros to anywhere in Europe. For each item). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jipc Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Thanks for them. i live in Spain and its a struggle to find anything here (and pricey if you do). Order from US/UK most of the time and have ordered from germany before, its actually cheaper than shopping domestic. These shops shoul dbe a big help. Cheers and beers to all!

The best European distro is Bis Aufs Messer, by far!! So much good stuff, and they carry a lot of US releases at good prices. They have a great physical shop in Berlin too. Also: Denovali, SNCL, and Specialist Subject are pretty good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jodi Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 depends from seller Oops, I ment ShopRadioCast; Yeah, the shipping costs to Belgium are not bad at SRC. I also almost never had to the pay customs costs, maybe 10EUR or something when I ordered at SRC. Shipping at amazon.com is also cheap to Belgium. But I once got fucked with an order of amazon.com which was delivered by DHL. I had to pay more than 50 EUR of customs costs for the BR - 30th anniversary set.
