Damn Satellite!!!

[Brut by Faberge]

I placed an order with the cats at Satellite Records on Saturday morning, and the joints still ain't shipped yet! Not arrived...but SHIPPED.

I know people have their feelings about Satellite's selection, but please, respectfully, tell me of ya'll experiences shopping at their Web site.

Good? Fast? Lame? Overpriced? Am I being unreasonable in feeling that 5 days is sufficient time to package and UPS 6 pieces of wax?

YOU never order around the weekends from Satellite.

Order monday and expect them to get to your crib, next monday.

Peace

if the state of their New York store is any indication, I would say you might want to avoid them altogether in the future. I haven't been there in months, though, so perhaps things have improved.

Peace.

My experience had been good. In fact, I ordered something that was out of stock, when it came in I was notified. I placed the order and I got the package in a week. graemlins/thumbsup.gif

I haven't ordered from Satellite in a long long time. The couple of times I did order, it seemed like things took too long. Then again, maybe I'm just spoiled. I order from Dancetracks and I have my order within two days at the most, but often next day if I order early enough in the day. (Using UPS Ground as the ship method means 1 day service at least in the nyc/dc corridor).

I thought I saw some negative opinions of Dancetracks on a thread from a while ago, so maybe my good experience is not the norm.

The internet warehouse is definately closing down, and they are moving thier stock to the store space to sell it off on the internet. I heard the store is shutting down completely, but I'm not 100% sure. As much as it wouldn't work, they may try and run an internet warehouse and store in the same space, but that's just my guess from knowing them. And yes it wouldn't work well if you are buying copies of records in the pysical store - meets - web store if someone already ordered them on-line. So I'm pretty sure it's shutting down for real.

when I order from them. I get my packages within 3 or 4 days whenever I order.

They were doing good for a minute (IMO) with the store pick up service(If you have that option). But the last time I did it they took 2 weeks , when it would take 2 days b4.


peace,
gojay

Everytime I would order from Satellite, it would take ATLEAST 5 days b4 the order was shipped. I could have driven there and back by then mad1.gif

Hey I order my records from UK sites and get them deliverd and well packaged within 3 working days.
Can't beat that for service.
