Rough Trade Records - Beware Before Ordering


Has anyone dealt with this store before? They are based in the UK and I have yet to receive any items I ordered including a record and some merch. I have waited 6-8 weeks and more for items which were never delivered. I would periodically get a message from the company stating that my order was being prepared for delivery and that was it.  So, I just cancelled my order and will receive a refund less 8% because the cancelation was beyond the 2-week cancelation period.

I saw nothing about any customs issues. In fact, my order had the tariffs added. The order was placed on 5/25 and crickets since.

My refund request came through yesterday, minus 8%. I will probably contact my CC company about that charge.

Why not buy from discogs or ebay when buying used? New I usually buy from either the record labels or the following 3 merchants - music direct, acoustic sounds and elusive disc. Great customer service. No issues with exchanging defective records and their shipping is always prompt.. 

@grk I may pursue the 8% cancellation fee.

+1 don’t reward their negligence and terrible service

I ordered from them once and cancelled the next day and was still charged a fee so the 2 week window isn’t accurate in my US customer experience.  Won’t buy from them again.
