So much I can say about the Cobraside team but they definitely are the best local distro…firstly, their catalogue is IMMENSE. I curate and am the buyer for a local shop and I could be on their online catalogue for hours putting together a list, but the fun part is stopping by their physical location to browse in-person…a vinyl lovers’ dream. Secondly, their customer service is without a doubt the best around…Andrew Emily Randy and everyone I have been able to meet is always such a big help and go above and beyond to meet customer needs. I especially appreciate the quick communication and fast turnaround time on orders and shipping, it makes sourcing so much easier with their incredible support. Thank you Cobraside!

As a customer of nearly 20 years, I can confidently say that Cobraside Distribution is hands down the industry leader.They are the West Coasts largest music distributor. With a deep inventory, new releases, and special orders there are always numerous titles to add to our catalog. Their B2B website is simple to use and provides an inventory snapshot in real time.Cobraside stands apart from the competition thanks to its superior customer service.  The team is a group of music aficionados, always willing to help, advise, and be an advocate for lesser known artists.They are not open to the public. However, if you are a legitimate business you are more than welcome to open an account and come in, browse the warehouse. Since we are local we normally come in, but have had shipments sent to us, and I can tell you the packaging is spectacular and shipping is FAST.And get this;  you call and someone answers - a real live human!

As a vinyl reseller, Out of Date Records needs reliable resources, and Cobraside Distribution is my FAVORITE One-Stop! Great staff and inventory. I could send them an internet order but I would rather come through their door, say hi to everyone and find not only what I need but what I didnt know I needed. Highly recommended!

In my nearly 40 years of working at record stores (Reckless Records, Rough Trade, Amoeba, and The Last Bookstore) Ive ordered from just about every small and large distribution company that has existed over that period of time. COBRASIDE distribution is hands down, the best one-stop of them all.Its incredible what this small, discerning and dedicated crew of people, are able to provide that multi-million dollar distribution companies and many an indie havent been able to figure out!Theyre is an emphasis on punk, hardcore and metal but they have just about everything in their arsenal. They also have stuff that NO ONE else does (wink!). Lastly, theyre B2B site is very intuitive and user friendly, it makes doing repeated orders with them a breeze.H I G H L Y R E C C O M E N D E D ! ! !

One of the best places for music distribution in CA period. Not only we’re they a great wealth of knowledge but group of people that helped us every step of the way to get our selection for our shop ready

Sean is exactly what a sales representative should be: not pushy, helpful, and attentive. Customer service is the new marketing. Good job, and you have really earned my business. Easy to deal with, and wonderful selection. Thanks!

Open once a month, they have a sale event with live music (sweet indoor/outdoor set up) and a BYOB policy. A true gem.
