Captainfog hipped me to Juno when I was wanting Khalab & M'Berra Ensemble's
M'berra a couple of years back. Everywhere I'd looked was cost-prohibitive to get it to Canada, but Juno wasn't!
Shipping for a single LP runs $10 and change; $14.50 for 2LP - as I'm sure you're already well aware, this is less than shipping
within Canada!
The site allows you to set your browsing directly to CAD, which is great for me because I'd rather not have to continuously convert costs.
As far as their pricing goes: some items are insanely cheap while conversely, some items are insanely overpriced. They definitely aren't a go-to for everything, but they have a great selection, and on more than a few occasions I've gotten things from them that have been cheaper with shipping than I've found them for pre-shipping anywhere else.
Juno's packaging is... okay. Their cardboard seems a bit softer than most others, and their single LP mailers, in particular, seem quite thin (hilariously, at the opposite end of the spectrum, the one box set I ever ordered from them was packaged like a tank!) Personally, I've had very few issues beyond an occasional corner ding, which bothers me less than some folks so YMMV.
Only once have I received a record from them with significant warp and when I emailed them with a video they promptly sent a replacement copy without asking for the defective one in return. I've contacted CS on one or two other occasions with minor questions and the response has always been quick and helpful.
They also have a great interface as far as setting watchlists to receive notifications for labels and artists when stock comes in. You can also set notifications for price drops as well, in case anything goes on sale.
They very seldom do discount codes, and when they do they're pretty minimal for one-time use - but all in all, I've been really pleased with these cats and the many orders I've made with them over the past 2+ years.
