Greeting everyone. I am looking to purchase these 2 titles on the Penthouse Label:

Chaka Demus: No. 1
Marcia Griffiths: Collectors Series

I'm not involved with this outfit, honestly, but for the third time today, try here for Marcia:

They always have titles to buy, but hardly have anything in stock and you wait a very very long time for them to come in ......if they do!

I avoid them like the plague now. Why advertise something for sale when you don't have it in stock???

Thanks for the help and advice though

because it helps bring traffic to sell the things you do have in stock.

Maybe, but with them it's a craps game. I got tired of rolling the dice. How can you tell what they actually have in stock? I would place my orders, and then not get any emails to let me know what is going on. After many of my emails, I would finally get a message saying once the items come in, they will send them.

That is why Ernie Bs gets a shout out from me. What you see is what they have!

OK,

Sorry about that link. I haven't used them for a couple of years now because I've been buying vinyl for DJing instead. But my old orders always came through fine, and relatively quickly taking into account the Transatlantic crossing.

I will bear your comments in mind for the future myself, and maybe stop linking to them if it's a regular problem nowadays.

I stopped buying from them for the same reason. They NEVER had any of the items I couldn't find on Ernie B's. They would list the item but it was always the same--If it wasn't in stock at Ernie's, Reggae CD didn't have it either (even though it was still listed). About 5 years ago they used to offer free shipping (back when Ernie's shipping was always $6 in the US). This made them a good option at times. Now their shipping is 2X what Ernie's is.
The one cool thing though is that actual Jamaicans run the shop.

Thanx for thee info on reggaecd.com. I ordered a CD from them and I STILL haven't received word on it. I wished I did more research before I shopped there. Big up to ebreggae.com!

Hey G_Dubble,

With my experiences with them, you won't receive an email. I tried several times to contact them about my order and finally asked them to close it and cancel the order. Depending on how long you have been waiting, you may want to tell them to just cancel the order. I bet the title is not in stock.
