And I would certainly question your motives at this point. Believe what you want.


Dirk, don't even bother with this board if you have a bad experience in some way. For some reason the regular idiots on here that do nothing but post on this board for hours on end have lost their minds! I don't know if you saw my post in July about getting ripped off at a White Stripes show for paying close to fifty bucks for the night and getting a show that was barely an hour. But doing so made me the enemy in every possible way! This place is useless for sharing common experiences that are negative.

I know what you mean about FE also. I've had issues with them in the past. Not consistently but I have had majorly delayed orders with no communication. I try to stay away from them if I can but sometimes FE is the only place with a title I'm looking for so it can be tough.

Do yourself a favor and don't even look at this thread anymore.

hahahahaha, schizophrenia is taking me home.

do they have wi-fi at mental institutes?

if you're stupid enough to pay $50 to see a band, and then get pissed off about it afterwards, then you deserve what you get

Savage Clone 09.07.2007 12:01 PM

The only irritation I have had with FE is the fact that they don't delete things from the catalogue when they are out of stock and so many times my order would be only partially filled. However, they are by no means the only place that does this. Not by a long shot.

If FE haven't taken their money off you, then check out of the many other internet-based distros around now. If you're UK-based, Volanic Tongue and Second Layer come especially recommended.

If they have, then you're within your rights to ask for a refund. If you receive no reply from FE via e-mail or fax, then have a word with your local Citizens Advice people.

Well, I've generally had good experience w/ FE, but i do remember one or two occassions where they we extremely slow and somewhat unresponsive with my orders, i think they used to be very fast like, 7 to 10 years ago where i would always get my order in 7-10 days and the last few times i got my order in 3 to 4 weeks. somehow things have changed though i haven't ordered anything from them recently, actually proabbly have only ordered from them once in the last couple of years mostly because their shipping costs do not make ordering thru them worthwhile enough unless i place the BIG order w/ them which i don't really do anymore. plus i've found alternative outlets to ordering some of the same things i like that they carry. though i do think they are a very good distributor of esoteric musics.

Everyneurotic 09.07.2007 02:59 PM

fe have astronomical international shipping rates, though.

Visaforviolet 09.07.2007 03:06 PM

I've had good experience from them (so far). My last order shipped incredibly quickly. But it was all in-stock stuff.

Yeah that makes a lot of sense.

What the hell is terminal boredom?

You don't wanna know. Boycott Forced Exposure.

eh whatever...i don't have enough motivation to boycott forced exposure since there are way, way, too many other problems in this world to boycott over. but probably coming from someone who seems to always get their way no matter what happens i guess the feel the need to boycott an organization that is providing a mere service in the entertainment industry such as music recordings is enough to get your underwear all tied in megaknots. there are plenty of other ways to deal with this situation you have on your hands, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out... go try the better business bureau for starters and quit complaining here. you'll get little sympathy.

dirk diggler 09.13.2007 05:08 PM

I'm not looking for sympathy, loser. Boycott Forced Exposure.

funniest thread ever.......................

evry distro gets bad rep at soe point. ive never bought off forced exposure but have of volcanic tongue and others. the only onei had grief with was kung fu nation, it took literally 6 months for a couple of shirts to arrive and they never once replied to my queries! but this aint the first complaint ive heard about forced exposure.....

...on the other subject, a piece of advice from someone who has been on this board quite a while, if you dont want us to gang up or insult you, stop calling us losers!!!!! it is a friendly place when the bitch isnt in heat!
