Not necessarily according to @Planbee.

 

I am glad I got over that "Oh it's cheap? I'll buy it" phase of being a music fan or I too would be getting 50 discs of stuff I really don't need coming to me.

 

I got over it, but got dragged back in, although I only bought 11 CDs this time.

 

This deal was amazing! Got my big package today, the new Beatles album on vinyl was $20. Every cd I got was 99 cents! Over 30 to dig through with a total cost of $51! hohoho!

 

The 28 discs I ordered shipped this morning via FedEx.

 

The 99 cent CDs now say in the description:
Special Pricing: One per customer, per order.

 

They refunded the $7.98 shipping, after I emailed them.

 

I got the free ship and it arrived shipped 2 days priority. surprised about that....

I might also add that the mastering on these oldies cds is great ...Hall and Oates Rich Girl sounds better on this 70's comp than on any actual Hall and Oates cd I own!

 

For anyone wondering about the free shipping minimum, try opening oldies.com in an incognito window.

If you refresh/use incognito/use different browsers, it will give you a different quote ranging from $25-50. It's deceptive as ****. They obviously use cookies to determine what you might spend, and they adjust the free shipping minimum accordingly.

 

Irrelevant. Yes, I saw both quotes when I was trying to order. But it didn't change the minimum required to actually trigger free shipping in my cart ($50).

 

Here's a thread on the topic: PSA: Oldies.com is pulling some sketchy ****. On the left is what you see before you place your order. On the right is what you see when try to place a $35+ order. More info in comments. • /r/vinyl »

 

Has anyone had experiences in the past with ordering from Oldies.com? There was a horror story there on the Reddit thread about them only shipping out portions of orders and cancelling the rest.

 

Well, as @eelkiller joked about upthread, I have no use for Oldies.com. Now, granted I've never placed any warehouse-clearing orders from them that might receive appreciative quick shipping--my few experiences with them have been for a CD or two each time. Slowest shipping time I've ever encountered from a domestic source. Whenever I receive a catalog from them it goes straight into the recycle bin, and I avoid their listings on the Amazon Marketplace.

 

I've ordered a few times and never had a problem.

 

If you want to find something to get upset about because you're in need of first world problems, OK, then their site and fill process will work.

But, basically, it's a legit company with a mediocre website and slow shipping.

I don't love them, but if something is a good enough deal, I'll order from them. That pretty much sums it up.

 

A 2 year old comment?

I mentioned on an earlier post, ordering about 33 CDs and was charged $7.98 for shipping. But after emailing them, they refunded the shipping, $7.98.

 

Well, hey, someone asked for opinions and I gave mine. Besides, this entire site is a shrine to "first-world problems." My CD didn't ship fast enough, why does my turntable sound like sht even though I paid $50,000 for it?, why does the new [insert name of almost every remaster] make my ears bleed?, and so on. I'm not equating Oldies.com's crappy service to a real problem, but just the same they shouldn't get a pass just because they're not in some vital-to-life industry.

 

Of course. That's why I said I only use them when the deal is good enough. They aren't my go-to for a normal purchase.

I will say this: They are still family owned/operated. At this point, I give them some credit for that.

 

My theory is they were happy to clear out the titles gathering dust on shelves and the quicker the better.

Obviously. These are mostly deep catalog titles that usually sell 95% of what they're going to sell in the first year.
