Anyone have any contact with these folks lately? I ordered an album on Oct 8 and have not received it. No one is answering my emails, and the telephone number doesnt go through. Just wondering if they were out of business or what? Russellc

Their site is up and working, but no telephone or fax. I understand that "John" is no longer with them. They do not answer ANY Emails and ship no product. I will NEVER order from these losers again. It used to be a nice place. Not now. I am seriously considering buying an airline ticket and showing up on their front door...see what they say then. I can no longer reccomend that anyone do any further business with this outfit. Most unfortunate, it was my favorite on line source. Russellc

Their is quite a lot of banter on the steve hoffman site, people who have been ripped off and those defending rick and John. Anyone who takes money, is out of business and leaves the site up is dishonest in my book. One poor guy appears to be out over 900 for a VPI turntable that VPI claims was never ordered. If it was my 900, I just hope their health insurance is paid up, they would be needing it. From what I can gather, normally they do not charge your card until item is shipped. strangly, this item I ordered is in stock but not shipped. The fly in the ointment is if you order something not in stock, then you are charged immediately. Unfortunately, my favorite, most trusted vinyl source is kaput. Russellc

not that I know but some on the previously mentioned forum say so. Man, it looks bad... they were very fair, really to bad. The chatter over there indicates the guys who used to run it, john and rick, are no longer there either. Their telephone number and fax are no longer working and no one gets an email answered. There is a fairly extensive thread, with lots of people chiming in the same story. Web site, although not updated, looks like business as usual. Russellc

I agree but have at least one defense and that is that we as a nation have spent how many billions dfending others. A standing army in Europe; Japan. Fighting wars every other year; Central America, Middle East. The money adds up.
