But they seem equally inept. :( JFudge did let me order a bunch of stuff a few weeks ago though with payment in US dollars. Had to send cash, but with registered mail that is safe enough. Took about a month for them to get my letter (I think they forgot to check their mailbox for a bit), but once they acknowledged getting it I had the records at my house within a week. (Well packaged too, to avoid damage, unlike a Ninja Tune order that showed up a day or two later all beat up.) So perhaps you should ask again...? Tis a shame they just don't ask NTune or someone reliable and equal in style to distribute their goods over here. Hummmm... If you do get some things, may I highly recommend Part 2's _Prelude to Cycle 6_ and Mark B/Blade's _Hitmen for Hire_ releases? (As well as the obvious Andre Gurov releases.)
