norman records are excellent, very quick to post & good communication.
even though they are american, its also worth checking out tonevendor - very cheap so if you buy two or three records the postage becomes cost effective, good selection of new & old stuff on vinyl etc etc
rough trade are sloooooooooooooooow.

Has anyone had any experiences with newt records?

Anymore suggestions; don't mind if they are American, as long as the postage is fair.

i used to use opal music a lot, but i don't buy much vinyl these days and i've no idea if they're still any good or not. worth a look, though.

Opal music seems to be stuck in 2003

What kind of music are you looking for? Most of the things I buy these days come from Norman records (friendly and reliable, always interesting stuff on their new releases list) or direct from the label, but if you're looking for electronic stuff then Boomkat and Juno have been good for me too. Just don't believe any glowing reviews you see on Boomkat, obviously (see, there's something else nice about Norman, they don't mind telling you if they don't like something).

I bought some things from the Newt Records guy on ebay a month or two ago and had no problem; he confirmed postage pretty much right away and they arrived very quickly, new and shrinkwrapped. Never used his actual online shop though.

I think Opal is dead now; I heard of someone ordering something from them last year without noticing that the site hadn't been updated for ages and it never came. That's just what I read somewhere though.

I've bought a few bits of vinyl via VinylExchange (http://www.vinylexchange.co.uk) - you'll need to use the advanced search to filter out cds though.

five years pass...

I have a friend who is just getting into mail order and wants all of the "details" on how to start with mail order. Are there books about this, granted it is a little old.

Starting to sell or starting to buy you mean?

Selling.

I'm just wondering where to get the information about selling is it in a book. Like a web site and you have old records to sell.
