Fairly priced and very reliable

Fairly priced and very reliable. Despite long waiting times on several preorders from Japan no order has been ever cancelled due to the LPs being unable to be delivered by manufacturers or third parties, something I've experienced numerous times ordering from other shops. Proces are sometimes higher but more often lower than the competition.

Recommended with absolute confidence

Having been a customer for several years now, I am continually impressed with everything offered and delivered by BSR. Ordering precious items like vinyl on an international basis is always somewhat precarious.. but their robust packaging ensures the likelihood of damage in the mail is exceedingly low.

New Favourite Record Company

This is my new favourite record company. Free stickers, extremely protective custom packaging, and excellent shipping? Truly couldn’t ask for better. Exceptional work.

BSR is Amazing!

My vinyl came on time and it was in perfect condition! They protected it well during shipping, and I couldn’t have asked for a better purchase.

Excellent packaging, customer service, product selection, and fair prices

I've bought vinyls from Black Screen Records several times. Everytime they where very communicative with the order status and pre-orders delay (which sometimes happen depending on the manufacturers and other external factors). I appreciate that they also sell iam8bit and Laced Records products, and that they are fairly priced. I also love that they import specific LPs from Japan, which would be a pain to buy both for the price and delivery process. The packaging is always super safe with a lot of bubble wrap and cardboard support. The customer service is also very kind, efficient, and responds within the time specified on their website; I only needed it to add products to already existing orders or to merge 2 orders together, which is an amazing service they offer, never because of a problem I had with a product

I ordered from Black Screen Records

I ordered from Black Screen Records, and unfortunately my vinyl arrived with a small cosmetic damage.
I contacted their customer service, and although it took a little while to get a reply, the issue was eventually handled in a very friendly and fair way.

After a few emails, Anya from support took care of everything and offered me a partial refund, which I’ve now received. The communication was polite and understanding, and they genuinely tried to find a fair solution.

Overall, I’m satisfied despite the small issue – great selection, nice shop, and reliable customer service in the end.
I would order from them again, just with a bit of patience when waiting for a reply.

I pre-ordered a 'Lost Records

I pre-ordered a 'Lost Records: Bloom & Rage' vinyl a while ago and I have to say that my order came in a pretty good condition and on time! It was well packaged with lost of bubble wrap (which is very appreciated) and no damage was done whatsoever. All In all, I would say that it's a trustworthy website!

Excellent vinyl releases & great customer experience

I’ve ordered from Black Screen Records a couple of times now, and I couldn’t be happier. My first order was back in May 2021 for the original Persona 5 vinyl, and most recently I received Junko Ohashi – Magical on cobalt blue vinyl. I had originally pre-ordered the transparent edition in February 2024, which unfortunately got cancelled, but the team handled it smoothly and I’m really happy with the edition I received.

The quality of the pressings is great, shipping was reliable, and as a collector it feels amazing to add these albums to my shelf. I’m very happy to be their customer and will definitely keep supporting them in the future. Highly recommended!
