Funky Moose Records runs its vinyl record business out of Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, operating primarily as an online retailer rather than a walk-in storefront, with its Prince Albert address serving as the company’s mailing and operations base. That online-first model has not stopped the business from building a genuinely broad catalog, covering rock, hip-hop, heavy metal, jazz, pop, country, punk, blues, electronic, classical, folk, soundtracks, and even seasonal Christmas records, alongside new pressings and used vinyl sourced from collectors and sellers across the genre spectrum. Customers can also pick up basics like record cleaning supplies and protective sleeves, plus branded merchandise, rounding out the catalog beyond just the records themselves.
A recurring theme across the business is support for Canadian independent musicians. Funky Moose Records markets itself explicitly as a proudly Canadian online vinyl record store, and merchandise proceeds are directed toward supporting indie artists rather than only major-label releases, giving the store a mission that goes beyond simple retail. That commitment carries into the media the company produces on its own: The Sit Down Podcast and Funky Moose Radio, an online station built around guest musician interviews, genre deep-dives, and a mix of classic and current independent releases. Together, those two projects give the business a media presence well beyond a typical online record shop, functioning almost like a small community hub for Canadian vinyl culture rather than just a sales channel.
The store also runs a toonie bin, a budget section aimed at collectors hunting for cheap finds without digging through full-price new stock, alongside a customer rewards program that gives regular buyers an incentive to keep coming back. For sellers, Funky Moose Records buys used records directly from customers, giving collectors and downsizing sellers in Prince Albert and beyond a way to pass along a collection rather than let it sit in storage, and the company also offers record pressing services for musicians and labels looking to put out physical vinyl of their own work. That combination of retail, buying, and pressing services covers a wider slice of the vinyl supply chain than most small record shops attempt.
Shipping policy reinforces the online-first approach: Funky Moose Records offers free shipping across Canada on orders over 110 dollars, a threshold clearly built around an e-commerce customer base rather than local foot traffic. Business hours run Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., covering when the Prince Albert-based team handles orders, customer service, and the buying and pressing side of the operation, with weekends off from regular business activity.
For Canadian vinyl collectors who would rather order from a Saskatchewan-based independent retailer supporting local musicians than a large chain, Funky Moose Records offers an extensive genre catalog, a used-record buying program, record pressing services, and its own podcast and radio station, all run out of Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. Funky Moose Records is a Prince Albert, Saskatchewan based online vinyl retailer offering new and used records across nearly every genre, along with a used-record buying program, pressing services, and original podcast and radio content supporting Canadian independent musicians.
