Because i just tried to buy stuff and it rejected my credit card number, calling it invalid. Is this site trustworthy anyone?

I've used them a few times, generally pretty happy with them. I have found their postage costs to be a little exorbitant but to be honest they're pretty much on a par with most online stores in that regard.

Plus they still have copies of the Vitalic 12"

personally i thought they were great. they actually had everything i ordered in stock (rather than on backorder like everywhere else) and my stuff arrived in under 24 hours! can't argue with that.

Whenever I've tried to order from them, they don't have the CDs in stock.

They used to be worse like that, but they've picked up their game a lot more and update the site more frequently.

They're still no Norman Records though. Norman is the daddy of all online stores.

I've ordered numerous times from them and the service has been good. Then again, nothing has matched the swiftness of Dusty Groove. No complaints with Opal other then the disappointment of ordering items not in stock, but listed on the database. Map Records is the same in that department as well.

Map Records has an alarming tendency to overprice new releases just because they're 'scarce'. They do get good stuff in but they're a bit of a last resort for me, if I absolutely can't find what I'm after anywhere else.
