probably wont answer your emails and if you phone call the place with
anything that even closely resembles a southern accent they'll talk to
you like you are trying to sell them potatoes out of the back of a
station wagon.
On the other hand Im told they have a great shop & a wonderful selection
if you physically go there so its a mileage-may-very thing I s'pose >>
Basically I would caution against ordering
from Sonic based on a couple issues:
* They are vague about what they actually have in stock.
* They seen to make no efforts in the way of customer service.
* People have complained about getting scratched vinyl from them.
* People have complained about getting the wrong records from them.
* They have a "service charge" (what?)
If you're in New York yeah, you should stop by. But be aware
you aren't finding any monster rarities as the store is hardly
an unknown, untouched place: thousands of trainspotting fiends
and DJ's have ravaged the bins. And you know
Ernie, that remark about potatoes absolutely made my day.
I think I'm going to call them with a fake, affected
Southern accent as soon as I get off the computer.
