VinylMnky came through VinylMnky came through. We got off to a rough start largely due to the timing of my order. There was no communication for a week until a wrote a panic review after having read some other reviews. After the initial delay in hearing from VinylMnky, they returned to work after the Thanksgiving weekend and set about to sending me the Kanto YU6 speakers (BIG SHOUT OUT - these speakers are fantastic!) and a selection of some classic vinyl I had ordered. Again, slow start but Travis’ team at VinylMnky came through in the end. This would have been a “4” all along if the communication about being closed through the holiday had been clear.

Weird site. Weird site. I kind of like the whole "monthly subscription" idea (although the catalog is so limited it wouldn't work for me), but the truly bizarre thing is that the site primarily sells vinyl fetishism rather than music. Catalog is the smallest of any record store I've ever seen, including brick & mortar, which might be okay if there seemed to be some kind of guiding principles or aesthetic driving the offerings, but it comes across pretty random, with some quality releases sprinkled in *if* they have hipster appeal (they probably didn't have any Bowie until after he died). Worse, there is no information about any of the releases...not even lists of song titles. But the dead giveaway is the emphasis on framed options. The Vinylmnky tagline might as well be "we sell music for you to look at."

Vinylmnky is the BOMB! Really great service. I love that its a different genre of music each time and you get the benefit of being "first" for new artists that are emerging. A lot of the albums come signed which adds a lot of value. It's really a fantastic way for collectors to build their library and discover new music that maybe you wouldn't normally listen to.

Poor service (Updated) During the period between my pre-order date and the ship date, I moved states.i reached out well before the ship date to update the address but the order was still shipped to my old address. It was forwarded by the post office but I had to pay more shipping for a mistake I did not make. When I mentioned that in my final email regarding this issue, there was no acknowledgement. EDIT: Travis was kind enough to reach out after seeing my review to make things right which goes a long way. I'm willing to give ordering from Vinylmnky another shot.

The best of all my subscription services VinylMnky is the best! Consistently introducing me to new music, while also peppering in some recognizable artists. And they throw in stickers and signed posters with almost every order. They have awesome access to the artists and their teams. Ordering vinyl from them is extremely convenient as well.
