Big Love Vinyl is a great record store, and owner Doug Ausbury is the best. We vacation at Holden Beach most summers, and I always look forward to my annual visit to the store on Oak Island. I have made three or more major purchases (both at the store and online) from Doug, and he does not disappoint. He goes out of his way to make certain his customers are completely satisfied. One summer several years ago (before the current store opened on Oak Island) we went to his satellite store at Waterway Music, but the store wasn't open like it should have been. I contacted Doug, and he even was willing to meet me and bring the records that I wanted. I have purchased over 40 records from BLV, and each was VG+ to NM, never a bad record. Thanks Doug!!!!

I don’t even remember a guy from Wisconsin stumbled across Big Love Vinyl in NC but I am sure glad I did! Doug always has a great selection of new and used vinyl available and entertaining YouTube videos every Friday showing new albums available in his shop. Orders are always shipped quickly and packaged very securely. Highly recommended! - 12/13/2024

Just got my first online order from Big Love, and I’ll definitely be back. Very good prices on a solid selection of new and vintage records. Thanks! - 11/22/2024 

I have had the pleasure to visit the store in person last summer during our family vacation on Oak Island and needless to say my daughter found a few great records to pick up during that stop. This is prior to my knowledge of the online store - I can say this is one of the best online buying experiences I've had. Seller had the item listed and described correctly on his website and I received exactly what I ordered, the way it was described. I highly recommend Big Love Vinyl and trust their descriptions and conditions as they are listed on site. A+ Service! Thank you Vinyl Richie! - 11/22/2024 

Such a great selection! Their customer service is wonderful!! Communication is amazing! I already placed a second order with hopefully more to come! - 11/18/2024 

I have been watching Big Love Vinyl's Youtube for a few weeks now and spotted a couple of records featured that I have been looking for, so went onto the website and order them along with a couple of others I saw there, including a free record I liked the look of from the youtube video. They arrived very well packaged a few days later bundled well and well protected. The records were all as described, perfect!! Highly recommended. - 11/16/2024 

5 stars! Couldn't be happier. Records were packed/shipped perfectly. Total pleasure buying from Big Love Vinyl. I’ll be a repeat customer for sure! 👍👍 - 11/07/2024 

They worked out a great deal for me with a very sought out vinyl, that people were charging outrageous amounts for! They are amazing for this! I’ll never not shop here in the future. - 11/04/2024 

Doug found a few Japanese pressings that I had been looking for. They arrived in great condition. Only had one problem dealing with Big Love and Doug was quick in making things right - 10/29/2024 

Great store and people running it!! Great to work with and can get ya pretty much whatever your looking for. - 10/28/2024 

So, I ran across Big Love Vinyl on a FB link. I was like sure why not and gave it a look and I can tell you I liked what I saw. I live in Tucson AZ and the pickings are slim to say the least so any chance for some vinyl deals are very welcome. I have made some purchases and tend to be a regular customer(when the wallet allows lol). Not a huge place, but they get some good stuff in. Prices are reasonable, interacting with them is great and shipping is very reasonable. They also do a laid back live show every now and then and it's nice to kick back watch whats for sale and relax with the guys(cheers!). So yes between me and Vionel Richie( check the site out you will get what I mean) we can highly recommend Big Love Vinyl! p.s. the view from their window...WOW! - 10/12/2024 

Very easy to search and navigate on the website. Very cool and informational weekly vinyl videos I look forward to every Friday morning. I also enjoy the early email of some releases that are shown on the video. The make an offer tab is a great option for big love and the consumer. I am making a cart up as we speak. 👊🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻 - 9/23/2024
