I pre-ordered the limited edition CD version of the new Morbid Angel from Dodax in November (released 1st Dec) and they haven't even posted it yet. Presumably they're having trouble getting it but it's surprising for a new release. Don't suppose I'll get it this side of Christmas now.

I'd chase that up with them. They should at least give you an update on what's happening with the order.

Dodax came through on everything I ordered from them recently, though they did display a habit of not fulfilling orders in order, so I got stuff ordered over the course of two three days over the space of nine days, with the first CD I ordered coming in last. I presume this may be something to do with having (I presume) multiple warehouses.

Amazon have fucked up again. Ordered the Power Trip album on vinyl 31st Dec and when it finally arrived today after a long wait it was the wrong album - they sent me something by someone called Mulato Astatke! No doubt I'll end up waiting another 3 or 4 weeks now. 

It was only 2 weeks ago they sent me the wrong drumsticks.

You certainly seem to have bad luck when it comes to Amazon, Paul. 

In all my years shopping online I've had a few things lost in the post (usually from 3rd party sellers), a couple of instances where the seller turned out to be a conning bastard, but only one time did I actually receive an outright incorrect delivery. That was years back from HMV, before they nearly went bust even. Can't remember what I was meant to receive now except that it was my Dad's birthday present. They sent me some compilation of Dance music instead.

It's all the more frustrating that it took them so long to send it in the first place. They don't seem to keep regular stock of it so god knows when I'll finally get it.

Don't know what's going on with Dodax lately, I suspect they may be the verge of going bust. I've had 2 order issues with them lately, one through Amazon where I had to go to Amazon to get my money back and another through their own website which I ordered on 2nd June and still hasn't arrived (marked as in progress). In both cases they ignored my messages to them. They've had a load of 1* reviews on Amazon too.

They take forever to deliver but have always been good on price but I'm not ordering anything else until I see some proof that they're fullfilling orders.

^ A shame, I had several bargains from them around Xmas time. There's several reviews on Trustpilot that confirm they have gone into administration. This happened to another website (I presume) that I used to use (or it may have been an Amazon seller, don't recall) and it looks like the same deal: they keep taking your orders and money, with no intention of fulfilling them. 

If you paid through PayPal on their website you can open a dispute there to get your money back.

Not sure what's up with Prime right now. Got a CD album pre-ordered that is out today yet apparently it is not arriving until Tuesday, yet it clearly says on the item page that it is both in stock and can be delivered on next day delivery on Prime if bought now it's released. Not impressed.

Dodax is the one that’s driving me daft. Orders are taking three weeks these days.

^ Dodax seem to have recovered from their problems earlier this year, at least to an extent. After seemingly going into administration earlier this year and the last couple of orders i placed around June time taking forever I gave up on them. I didn't really expect them to be trading anymore but gave them a go again with a cheap-ish CD (Marduk) to test them out and it came in about 10 days. Just had an LP arrive in a similar time which is quicker than they ever were in my experience.

Hopefully they're back as their prices are much better than Amazon usually.

I was surprised to see that Dodax was still around actually and with a revamped website to boot. Will have to have a look at them again.

Just made a Dodax order. Let's see how long it takes. They say up to December 4th.

Is Dodax a UK thing? Looks like the prices are higher than what i'm used to.

Does anyone know any killer sites that specialize in metal only?

They have sites for many countries, but I think they're a Swiss company. The UK sites does tend to be a bit cheaper than Amazon for many CDs.

Nice to hear, though still waiting for dispatch after three days here so far.

I ordered the new Terrorizer album on the 23rd and it's marked as completed today. Haven't checked since Tuesday so could have been earlier.
