Routine Vinyl started the way many great record stores do – with two collectors who couldn’t resist digging through crates at local shops and estate sales every weekend. What began as a hobby gradually evolved into something bigger as we balanced our growing business with our day jobs. Operating from both Colorado and Wisconsin gives us access to unique regional finds that collectors elsewhere might never see.

Our decade of combined e-commerce experience helped us build a platform that works as well for someone hunting down a specific Blue Note pressing as it does for casual browsers discovering new favorites. We don’t just throw records online – every album gets personally reviewed before it joins our inventory.

The real difference is in how we handle the records themselves. Everything lives in climate-controlled storage designed specifically for vinyl, because we know how quickly heat and humidity can ruin a collection. Our vertical shelving keeps albums upright and safe from the ring wear and sleeve damage that happens when records get stacked or stored carelessly. Whether you’re buying a 1950s jazz original or this month’s limited pressing, it ships in the same condition we’d want to receive it ourselves.

That attention to detail has built trust with collectors who know their purchases will arrive exactly as described. In a market where condition and authenticity matter everything, our reputation for getting both right keeps customers coming back.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
