Ronald Records — Local services in Vancouver

Wonderful place with wonderful owners ! I’ve been going here for a couple years now, and it’s one of my favorite spots in Vancouver. The atmosphere of the place already sets it apart from other record shops on it’s own, with it having a really cool underground indie vibe being in the basement of another cool shop that’s kinda “hippie” too, and you can also write on the stairwell outside with chalk.

None of the cassettes from the other store worked (0/3!) so I returned them and went straight to Ronald Records with the cash they gave me to buy new ones. I told the person working there what happened (just in casual conversation) and she offered to discount my new cassettes just a hair so that they could be an even trade for the cash I’d been refunded at the other place. Top tier service, good vibes, and well-tested used products that...
