Josua, I've buried the hatchet with Nordic Mission - as I expected, it was all a big misunderstanding and he straightened it up quick. I'm still not going to add his store back to the trusted sites for one reason:
The contact form/page on the US version of the Nordic Mission site does not work and he knows this. He also knows that the Nordic Mission email address is not posted anywhere publicly.
I can't in good conscience consider his store "trusted" if there's no existing means for US customers to contact him, if there is an issue.
If he fixes his site and/or posts his e-mail, I'll add Nordic Mission back to the trusted sites.

Again, I must give praise Metalhelm. I love how they give an update on the order and write other nice unrelated stuff on the messages that makes you really feel welcome Also dealing with Brent right now and while I havent yet got the package, I really like how is very good in communication.

We need a store in Brazil that ships to the US... I can't find a copy of Cerimonial Sacred's Christ Worshipers. The problem is ACTUALLY GETTING the product FROM Brazil. I ordered copies of that Cerimonial Sacred cd for my store back in JUNE. I NEVER GOT THEM. Distro's ARE trying but getting stuff out of Brazil is HIT AND MISS. Mostly Miss. Brazil Customs is VERY VERY CROOKED. I sent cd's down there one year and after 8 MONTHS they came back to me. Customs held them for months then NEVER cleared them and sent them back. They do the same when cd's are trying to be brought here from there.

I had heard previously that getting albums into Brazil was the problem, but this upsets me even more. They're the most prolific part of the CBM scene, and it seems that only half of their releases tend to make it here.

I dont know about the US, but I ordered both Cerimonial Sacred -cd's from this dude called Flavio who is running some online store whose name I forgot. The only problem I had was that there was one batch of Christ worshippers -cd's that did not work and apprently it was the factory's fault who printed them. I informed Flavio and he took out those copies that did not work and I guess it was good that I informed him about it cos he was unaware of this. Now he send me a working copy along with some freebie cd. He send it as a registed mail and all the communication with him has been very good.

↑ Stuff like that happens ...and what he did was what a store should do. Is it a Christian store? Sounds like if we could figure out who that was, we should add him to the list - if he's not already on it.

Oh, I guess I gotta ask him cos I have totally forgotten The thing was that the site was mostly in portugise (?) and I just found his e-mail there and asked him directly. But I guess if you will add him, you should just put a disclaimer about the language -thing and maybe his direct e-mail there.

Sure thing man! Also, a trusted store is a trusted store. Doesn't matter where they're from and what language they speak.

Has adding the Doolittle Group store in Sweden been discussed? doolittle.bigcartel.com/ I bought Parakletos and Crimson Moonlight from them and everything went fine. Even with overseas shipping, I think that was the cheapest I was able to find Parakletos.

Doolittle is legit. I bought a couple a couple CDs though and had a bit of an issue... I bought two CDs and when I got my package, only one was inside. I was quite disappointed, to say the least! However, when I went online and checked my order, they did say that they only had stock of 1/2 of my order. I would have preferred they communicate that to me, but alas, they only charged me for what I received so no harm, no foul. I just wish I had been told what to receive before I got only half my order.

Metal mission was the place where I got the Cerimonial Sacred -cd. Like I said, all went good, except for the thing with the cd -pressing, that was the fault of the place where the label pressed them. Apparently their website is down for some maintenance for what I understood, but here is their Facebook page: www.facebook.com/metalmissionThey did not have too many titles in their shop, however, I guess theyre mainy a online -magazine or something. Generally, cdr -releases are a bit problematic in my opinion, cos older cd -players or even computers wont sometimes play them even if they are fine.

Any cd that is pressed in less than 300 copies is pro-cdr. Most underground labels won't press more than 100 copies as they just don't sell and the cost of pressing 300 or more just to have 250 sit around unsold is just more than a label can afford. Most pressing companies require 500 or more copies to be pressed in order to do real cd. I only know of a small number of plants that do press real cd's starting at 300 copies. Those labels that do press over 300 or 500 copies tend to have copies sitting around unsold for years on end and they end up being on sale for $4 or less just to get rid of them. I have never had an issue with a pro cdr not playing. Now I have had trouble ripping a couple of them. But they alway play.

I share Larry's opinion. Through the years I bought quite a lot of CDr-releases and they're are still playing.
I remember seing a statistic from...2011 or 2013, that showed that 80% of all releases (in general) of that year were sold less than 100 times (90% when it came to "less than 1000 copies"). Over here there's a company in Poland that offers replicating ("pressing") CDs starting with 100 copies. The price for one CD is quite high compared to larger editions, of course, so you would end up paying almost as much as for 200 copies...

Was naking a referance to the cerimoonial sacred cdr issue. Some places do very good pro cdr releases. Wasnt trying to offend anyone. The fact of the matter is the major amount of bad discs in that release.

Wasnt trying to offend anyone. Me neither, but this is just a problem I have had and it sucks. I guess older players or computers have some how worn out the system that reads digital disk or something. Not that my computer is super old but still it has this problem. I dont think I have had any problems with "normal" cd's with either one of those machines. I have the Frosthardr -demo -cdr and though I have hardly played it and its been on its case for all I know and still it doenst work with even a newer computer. As for the financial side of it I do understand the use of the said format and for what I have understood, pro-cdr's are indeed better. And as the prices of underground labels are very decent to say the least and I do want to have a physical copy of releases are put out that way and I really like, whether they work on my old systems is fine as long as they work in some computer

IMPORTANT! I just received a news -e-mail from the owner of Maanalainen Levykauppa. Unfortunately he closing the store and while he is searching for possible person to carry the torch, he is only going to post the products from the orders that he currently has in stock and if you had a backorder,he will do a refund.
Hopefully he has sent this info to his English speaking customers as well but I just thought I would share this here instantly.
Sad to see the place go,but then again it is very hard to maintain a store like that here in Finland,even if it is the only one of its kind.

Apparently, Shaver is going out of business. In his EBay store he's offering free shipping if you buy five or more items. Everything is pretty cheap.
