Subject: request for non-USA CD sources: Please help!
Newsgroups: rec.music.gaffa
Organization: GE Simulation & Controls, Daytona Beach, FL
Please help me compile a list of addresses of mail-order firms located outside the USA that accept major credit cards for Compact Disc purchases. I have been happy with Adrians and Oldies Unlimited in England, but am seeking companies in Australia, the contental part of the EC, Japan, or elsewhere. Motivation: I have bought CD's from England for as low as L7.99 and with no currancy exchange fees by using a credit card (virtually none, any way) that means $12.80 for an import CD that would cost about $25.00 from an importer (read importer = middleman). In my small purchases for personal use, I had to pay no Customs charges, and the shipping was basically free because the English companies provide non-English customers with a 13% VAT (Value Added Tax) discount. Please use e-mail if at all possible. (Post too if acceptable to moderator, but I will post a complete list once I assemble one.) I made a similar request to rec.music.cd, rec.music.misc, and alt.rock-n-roll about a month ago. The response was terrible. One guy recommended Towers in London, everyone else just mailed a request for a copy of the list. (I still have your e-mail addresses and will mail to you) This news group seems to have far more non-USA readers and contributors than the others, so I am hoping for a better response!!! Please!!! Almost forgot, I had good luck with Discs and DATs in Whitby Ontario. All addresses will be part of the completed list Thanks. Sincerely, John M. Sulak ************
