Another Moving Sale!

Jan 11

Everything is just about moved over into the new space but I would like to free up some more space still so I decided to heavily discount a bunch of titles.  Check out the moving sale here.  Also, I still have these titles on sale as well.  Go take a look and order a bunch of records at incredible prices!

If you live in Canada and you want to make a larger order, I can now offer a $10 flat rate for shipping.  I understand that the site calculates at a higher rate so the best option for large orders is to send your list of records to andrew@chiselrecords.com and I will send you an invoice via Paypal.  You will still receive your order in 1-7 days as it will be sent Expedited.

Moving Update

Dec 29

Just a little reminder that we will be moving into a new location early January,  starting sometime in the first week of January.  Orders that come in during the move may be slightly delayed.  Shipping will still be happening, it might just take an extra day or so.  If you don’t want any delays with your order then I would order all of your records before the 3rd of January.

Also, I would like to thank everyone for supporting Chisel Records.  This year truly was a great one and I am so grateful that you chose to  spend your hard-earned money in our store.  I couldn’t keep this going without each and everyone of you.

I wish everyone an incredible 2012!

BUNDLES

With the holidays coming up we have put together some great bundles so that you can save a bunch of money.  There are 3 to choose from and everything included is awesome!  2 of the 3 are bundles where you can choose your records from a list.  Lots of great stuff.  One is titled “Andrew’s Bundle“, this is my favourite one as it is stuff that I have been listening to quite a bit.

MOVING/OPEN HOUSE

We will be moving into a new place as of January 1st!  This is pretty exciting/stressful.  So please buy lots of things so that they do not need to be moved.  I might do some kind of an open house close to the holidays where you can come by and take a look/purchase records and talk about great music.  I will have more information on this soon.  Please “like” us on Facebook for updates.  There will be a Facebook event for this very soon.

The Open House event is now posted.  It will be from 12:00pm-6:00pm on December 17th – Nov. 24, 2011

New News!

Oct 23

I hope everyone had a great summer.   We have a lot of great (and not so great) stuff happening.  There are over 100 items still on sale in our store.  Lots of new stuff still coming in.

Our web host has had some server problems and we ended up losing a bunch of data.  This is why the site has been a bit out of date over the last 6 days or so.  We are just about done updating so everything should be back to normal very soon.

Our mailorder will NOT be shipping from late Wednesday October 26 – Tuesday November 1.  I will be in Gainesville, Florida for FEST10!  If you get your order in Wednesday before 6pm, it will ship out that day, anything ordered after will be shipped Tuesday November 1.

The one newer band I am really excited to see is Banquets.  I suggest you check them out.  I have been listening to them like crazy since I first heard their 7″, “This is our Concern, Dude“.  Now their new record “Top Button, Bottom Shelf” is getting a ton of play time on my record player.  We also have their split cassette with Mayflower, who are also incredible.

Thanks again for all of your continued support!

Relocation Sale

Aug 28

We recently found out that the place we rent is now for sale and will be forced to move in the very near future.  We just moved into this unit two months ago from another unit in the building.  This means all of our records will have to be carefully packed up and moved again.  The only way to make this any easier is to sell as many as we can before the move day arrives.  I discounted over 100 items on the site to make this more appealing to you.  Please take the time and browse our large selection of vinyl and tell your friends to do the same.  It would mean a lot to us.

Thanks for taking the time to read this and checking out our site.  If you are overseas and want to make an order, just get in touch and I can give you an estimate with shipping.  andrew@chiselrecords.com

Thanks again and I hope everyone is having a great summer.

Let’s enjoy the hell out of it before it’s over!

Coupon Code Update

Aug 05

The coupon code ‘chisel11′ has stopped working on the site. Until this is fixed, you can email your orders and I’ll get back with the invoice. Sorry for the inconvenience.

The percentage is not calculating properly and causing an error, so here is what we will have to do in the meantime.

1.  Pick out all of your items.

2.  Email me your list.  Include your mailing address and Paypal address and send it to andrew@chiselrecords.com.

3.  I will send you an invoice with the 20% off.

4.  Pay the invoice and I will ship that right away.

Another option would be me just refunding back the discounted amount.  If this is easier, just place the order without the code and add “chisel11″ in the notes in Paypal.  I understand this won’t work for everyone but it may be easier for some people.

I am really sorry for the inconvenience.  I will make this up by having a sale on a bunch of vinyl after this 20% sale from hell thing is over.   I think I can handle one week of manually sending invoices.  The deal officially ends next Friday! (August 12)

Out Of Print (or very close to be) Records Still Available

Jul 10

I went through and updated our inventory this morning and I noticed a bunch of great records that are still in stock that are either, completely out of print or very close to being out of print.  There are small numbers of just about everything and in some cases there is just one copy left.  I made a short list of most of the stuff.

New Shop

Jun 26

Our shop is brand new and we even have some genres for ease of browsing.  We only added four categories for genres for a couple reasons 1) I hate categorising music into specific genres 2) most of the music falls within these four categories.  The genre categories are PUNK, FOLK, ROCK and SOUL.  The category titled ROCK will mostly be what is known as “Indie” rock, FOLK will be a lot of folky stuff mixed with some solo acoustic music, PUNK is pretty straightforward but it does include Hardcore as well and SOUL is also pretty straightforward.   Some music will fall into two or more categories.  Some music will not fall into any of these categories and will only be able to be searched or by browsing through the alphabet.  Metal, Hip Hop and “experimental” stuff is the bulk of the stuff that didn’t fit into any of these categories.  We don’t carry a whole lot of that stuff anyways.

The best way to keep in touch and to find out about new stuff to the site would be to follow us on Twitter and Facebook.  We have been giving away records for every hundred “likes” on Facebook.  Once we get more people following on us on Twitter, we will do a special contest for that.

If you have any questions on anything you can reach me at andrew@chiselrecords.com

Also, we will have postal service by the end of the week.  This wasn’t the ideal way we would have liked things to be resolved but at least the lockout will be over soon.  Thanks for all of your patience during this time!
