fucking boomkat. (1 Viewer)

[theoootini]

the buddha machine 2.0 is 2 quid more expensive on bumkat than norman records, and they are charging an extortionate £5 delivery where norman only charges £1.

how the fuck can they be so uncompetitive??

 

[aoboa]

I haven't looked at Boomkat since they changed their format.
Used to be a good browse on a Friday morning. Now it's too messy.
Reckon they've lost loads of business since they changed it.

a lot of the time when im looking at stuff on boomkat anything id like to buy is out of stock. ordered something a few weeks ago...never got the email receipt thing so checked the site the next day and it said it was out of stock. they didnt bother to email me bout it, and when i got on to em they were all oh ya sorry bout that...
got some stuff in the post this morning that was supposedly shipped almost 2 weeks ago. joke. discogs marketplace all the way

Norman are great fellas. Why not just buy it off them?

 

[sweetoblivion]

Got a Maom bar in a delivery from Norman today. Nice!

yep. fuck boomat, go with norman

 

[theoootini]

yep, i am totally changing to Norman. clicking boomkat is an old habit...

and yeah that new website is horrendous. far too busy. shoulda taken a leaf out of warpmart's books...

 

[theoootini]

answer me this internet doodz: how in fuck does every remotely electronic artist/album you enter into google come up with a boomkat listing as the first hit?

i'm possibly exaggerating, but still.

it's not a sponsored link, as far as i know. is this something that boomkat have somehow manipulated? it's pretty impressive if it is. or is it really that popular a music shop?

optimizing?

 

[theoootini]

yesh. must be. didn't know anything about that...

 

[Charlie Bucket]

yep. fuck boomat, go with norman

yip...Normans all the way:heart:

Boomkat are more expensive than everyone - they're like the non-rock Rough Trade. Norman/Piccadilly/Honest Jon's are invariably cheaper in their respective segments.

 

[shitepipe]

hmmm. norman eh? how is their techno?

anyone use Juno? or Hardwax in Germany (postage seems expensive)?

 

[theoootini]

i've bought once or twice from hardwax but their shipping charges are totally crazy.

norman don't have much techno but they'll have the big names ...

never used juno...

Boomkat are pretty assholey when it comes to some limited noise/done cassettes. They normally buy up the entire release of a title and mark it up.. It works though as they sell out pretty instantly (like the Peter Broderick tapes)

used Juno a few times for dubstep 12"s. everything worked out fine and records delivered fast.
