Devildogdistro Avis 54

An amazing distro that hooks up UK folk with records that are sometimes hard to come by over here, especially if you’re into punk/emo/hardcore etc! Couldn’t recommend enough. Every order is well packed and the range of stock is immense. Order with confidence!

I've been ordering for the last couple of years now with Joe. Saved me an absolute fortune in shipping costs and have a really good range of exclusives.
Also met Joe in person at Outbreak in 2024 and he was lovely.

The absolute best in the business. Insane selection of releases that often aren’t available anywhere else in the UK, and really reasonably priced. Loads of great offers if you subscribe to emails as well. Great customer service and records are always posted safely. Don’t pay attention to spanners who don’t understand that small businesses need to take time off at the end of the year ✌🏻

I ordered DDD some records many times and I always had a great experience. Excellent communication, fast shipment (and extra fast by special request), great packaging, very kind people... Everything is fine!

Yes, sometimes there can be unexpected delays, I had one with my latest order, but what can you possibly criticize against a small and independent record distributor/label trying their best to ship records amongst the hundreds of thousands of Shein/Temu/Amazon/etc packages which completely saturate postal networks worldwide, and ESPECIALLY during Black Friday/Christmas times? And how can you not realize they can themselves be overwhelmed by the biggest amount of orders of the year and possibly reduced staff because people have the right to take holidays lol???

The 1-star review complaining not to get his records on time for Christmas and ordering 6 days before it (and with a weekend in between lol) is completely unfair : Normal people plan their gifts sent via the post office a MONTH in advance.

This 1-star review is absolutely NOT representative of what you should expect while ordering from them, once again I always had a great time ordering from them and was always reassured about delays.

used for about a year now and never had an issue- owner is a very lovely and polite, very reliable too highly recommend <3 art is also so so sick

Great selection to pick from. UK stockists for certain labels too which is great. Joe’s really good at helping out where he can if delivery address change or you want to know if he’s getting preorders for things.

Very much keeping the hardcore/punk DIY ethic alive.

Have been shopping from devil dog since way back. Fair pricing and great range of stock from many labels. Never had an issue with adding or amending orders, joe is nothing but accomodating, even delaying delivery at my request. My go to online record store.

Always prompt. Sometimes you get free stickers and sweeties!

The best UK independent distro out there. Always a great range of punk, metal & hardcore, the go to option!!

The best UK distro for all things hardcore/punk/metal/emo/shoegaze. Class customer service always and always helpful in emails with a quick response. Zero Negatives 🔥

Regular customer. Amazing seller getting in those hard to get records from the US. Quick and efficient shipping. No complaints

Allways getting the new releases / repressses
Rarely go anywhere else now

I was looking for some converge records for Xmas presents, they had them in stock and UK based? So far so good. Placed my order on the 18th and messaged asking if they would come back in time, Joe mailed me saying he would try to get them out to me that day. 30th of December I have emailed twice at this stage and I get a message saying the stuff I wanted wasn’t in stock but they have some other variants I could have. I told Joe to cancel and a week later I get the refund. Then had the gall to say I’m snotty on the internet. Be better dude.

In short, steer clear unless you want shoddy service.

I've been ordering regularly from them for at least a year now, and have spent far more than I'd like to admit, but the products, service, and quality they offer deserves some praise and recommendation.
Being a fan of alternative music, I was struggling with the USA import costs, or just getting hold of some items and then I discovered this wonderful UK distributor, who not only charges very reasonable prices but also has exclusive vinyl variants!
I've made some wonderful additions to my record collection thanks to them, and have likely saved a small fortune on shipping and import tax. My most recent addition was the new AFI album Silver Bleeds the Black Sun... which came in 3 vinyl variants and cd, all which arrived perfectly packaged within days of the album release, and within hours of them receiving stock. I have a preorder for Jack's Manniquin debut album reissue, in their exclusive vinyl variant only weeks away now.
Orders will have flyers, stickers, and even promo cds added as a free bonus, and these extra attentions to detail is not wasted on me- consistent quality of service is a rare fine these days, and I show my appreciation by adding a tip at checkout whenever I can spare to.
If I was forced to note a con to all the pros, I guess it would be that some items sell out incredibly quickly, but then if buyer demand increased I'm sure stock quantity would also increase.
If you're like me and are into the music they provide, then I would strongly recommend placing an order and finding out for yourself. I hope they continue for many years, and will certainly be getting continued custom from me!
