After four years of purchasing records from SSD, I got sick and tired of their policy of advertising "new releases" and then taking six months to fill an order. Last year I wrote a scathing review an... See more

Terrible communications. They shipped 2/3 of my order and refuse to ship the other 1/3, or even bother to respond to my multiple emails telling me why. Garbage customer service. Avoid.
Soundstage Direct takes enormous stride in keeping their vinyl stock in pristine condition, free of marks or dents which many online shops don't do. My vinyl purchases always arrive well protected an... See more
I've been collecting Vinyl since 1965. Going to the album store was always a treat. Sound Stage has made that shopping experience obsolete. Now I search for an artist and find everything available in... See more

Wonderful service, selection, and great value!
I had not ordered from Soundstagedirect for a while; but this purchase has convinced me that hat been a grievous mistake on my part. The service, selection, value are all very important; also, the method to their shipping is GREAT. I definitely will be purchasing more titles from this company.
Great Service
I have purchased from Soundstage on a few occasions. I found that they are accurate in description, provide excellent packaging and are reliable. The only negative I have found is that they are a little slow on shipping items. That is ok with me though, as I would prefer to receive the right items the first time. Previous experiences (during Christmas) with others resulted in the wrong items being shipped with the correct person they should go to on the inside of the package. I did the legwork to contact and ship to the other person, in doing so I found that they had similar circumstances....needless to say I don't do business with them again. Overall Soundstage gets 5 stars and that is rare coming from me. rs
Excellent transaction.
This transaction worked out perfectly. Fast shipping and the item is in perfect condition. Couldn't be happier.
grate place for vinyl
Very good place to shop for your vinyl always get my album's fast and in great condition thanks to the staff at S/S/D thanks Bob C in Cicero
big fan......
Great company....easy to reach....great service.....all vinyl deliveries come in sound packaging and quality ..... use them.....
Ridiculous long wait to get my order.
I thought when you advertise a product you had it in stock not so with Sound Stage Direct had to wait for over a month to get my LP.
I keep placing orders and that is what counts
Music and audio have been a hobby since the late 60s and I try to support businesses and brands that put the music first
Great experience and fast delivery
I ordered an LP release of an album yet to come out. I got updated regularly, notified when shipped and arrived quickly,
So, I ordered another LP from them. Also, love the option to take the record out then have it packed and shipped. That way nothing will happen to the jacket.
Too expensive and too slow delivery.
Will not use again. Delivery took too long.
Eh idk
They pushed back the shipping date A LOT but when it came it was perfect!
Good selection but sometimes slow
I like Soundstage Direct for LP purchases but they do list and sell a lot of records before they have them in stock, so you can be left waiting for a while on some purchases. I've also had some damaged records shipped to me but in fairness, they work hard and personally to rectify problems. So, not a seamless experience but I generally trust them to get it right in the end.
Helpful, fast friendly service.
Quality product, packing and shipping
In it for the right reason
Only quality pressings and they package it like it was their own...Nuff said
what more!
Great selection. Super fast delivery and never an issue with the packaging
Good Prices, and Good handling
They offer great selections of records with good pricing. Also once shipped, the records are handled fabulously.
Improvment In Just One Area Would Make Soundstagedirect Five Stars
I have ordered from Soundstagedirect a few times now. Their passion for vinyl is amazing with an ever growing selection of albums, including ones in my favorite genre original soundtracks. They package and ship very well and is one of the only places I will order vinyl through the mail because of that. My only constructive criticism is that the time table in delivery seems to be off. For example I ordered the original Ghostbusters Soundtrack, which stated would ship in 2-4 days, on Feb 2. It did not leave until Feb 10th and then of course the media mail time, so I got it on the 18th. If an album leaves later than expected then the shipping should be expedited at no extra cost to make up the time. That is the only reason they are not a five star.
SoundStage Direct-The Best
SoundStage Direct is practically the ONLY on-line vinyl record service I use. Products are perfectly packed and shipped. Never a fear of damage and never a mix-up in my orders ( and I have been a customer for several years). Pre-orders are great and, although the timelines of the labels release is not up to SSD, the anticipation is like being a child on Christmas Eve. I've never been dissatisfied.
I ordered they shipped!!
Planar 3 all of the pictures had the platter illuminated, not true.
