I would strongly advise against using 611. I have called their mail order
numerous times [okay actually I only ordered twice..] and I was hung up on...
they give you that infamous line of "okay call back in 15 minutes and ask for
so-and-so.." and I call back and the guy is not in or on the shitter or out
to break or some bullshit like that. Furthermore they won't let you pay with
a credit card which means you have to pay their crappy-ass COD charges.
I have tried many places [611, Modernmusic and a few others which I can't
remember
the names of at the moment.. oh yeah Sound Factory being one of those
others...]
Anyways after all of that hassle and being overcharged (Modernmusic charges
$6.99
for most of its domestic releases) I found a place in south florida called
the dj store that hooks me up great whenever I call. There is a supernice
guy named
kimi who always helps me out whenever I'm buying slabs... they have a
website too...
