from 60 reviewsTop quality records and services
Hi!! :) I just wanted to thank Kate & Neil, for the great personalised service they provided to me, after I ordered a few LP's from their Peninsula Records & Books webite.
The vinyl was packed "incredibly" well, guaranteeing safe delivery, and the shipping time was faster than I imagined it could be (using AusPost). I did not expect express delivery, since I got free shipping, but seemed to have gotten express delivery anyway.!!
Thanks for the great service, Mark. :)
Order arrived promptly and safely, was packaged perfectly and no issues.
This company was a joy to deal with and would happily purchase from them again!
First time buyer from Peninsula Records & Books. My vinyl arrived in mint condition, safely packed & reasonably quickly. Communication from the store was very good & the record was well priced especially considering the markup that some place of RSD items.
Happy to recommend
Awesome and quick delivery. Super happy I was able to get the Megadeth Hidden Treasures vinyl and they delivered it well packaged and with care :)
These guys are amazing! I was chasing a copy of Olivia Dean’s Record Store Day vinyl and I stumbled across their online store on Monday morning. Was able to secure my copy and it arrived the next day, packed up so well. Thank you so much guys, I will be ordering again in the near future!
huge thank you to Kate and Neil for the amazing service. Delivery was incredibly fast — much quicker than other record shops I’ve used in Sydney. Communication was excellent from start to finish, and it’s clear they genuinely care about their customers. Really impressed with the whole experience and will definitely be ordering again.
I have been to the physical store & was impressed. Bought 2 albums online for Sydney delivery - came in 4 days & very well packed. Will definitely be a returning customer.
GARRAMUL arrived promptly. Not a scratch. Good service for an LP that was proving difficult to obtain.
Friendly, knowledgeable people. Great set-up and reasonable prices. Will definitely visit again when next in Yorkes.
I recently bought the 30th anniversary edition of Silverchair’s Frogstomp and a limited edition numbered copy of John Farnham’s Whispering Jack, both on vinyl and I couldn’t be happier. The albums arrived very quickly, extremely well packaged so they were undamaged, they sound great and Kate and Neil’s communication with me to just thank me for purchasing from them was unexpected and a very nice surprise. Kate even hand wrote a nice message of thanks and put it in with the albums.
It’s little things like that, the quality products and the obvious enthusiasm for what they sell, that will keep me coming back.
Thanks guys.
Well packed shipped fast, good quality presings , these play really well
Great service and very well packaged, the LP’s are of good quality
Albums received are excellent. Ordering process was simple. Very rapid delivery. Personalised response was a nice touch. A great new Aussie business that I will definitely use again.
The ordering process was simple & delivery was super quick! One of the vinyls was tricky to find in stock locally, and I didn’t want to order from big company, so was chuffed I found Peninsula!
