    It's so sad paying $63 CAD/shipped for an album now a days.

     

    Feel like I'm being priced out of this game

    It's been rough since USPS upped their international shipping prices around 2015. Also the Canadian dollar's strength obviously makes things worse. 2011 - 2013 was the best. $12 - $20 USD records and $6 shipping and the Canadian dollar was worth more than USD. I used to be able to pre-order records from US labels for like $17 shipped. This Vein record cost $57 CAD...I really have to pick and choose what I am pre-ordering for the limited variant, and what I will just pick up locally on black vinyl (or whatever the indie store variant might be).

     

    I was in university back in 2013 with part time service industry income and I could afford to buy more records than I can now with a legitimate salary.

    Hi All, we were hoping it wouldn't come to this but figured best to give a shipping update for the Karate Records / 90s Bundle / etc... This year has been really tough one on the global vinyl supply chain. Supply shortages, labor shortages, raw material shortages, long lead times and even longer to replace damaged parts / products,  covid related quarantine shutdowns, manufacturing capacity shortages and increased competition, global shipping hiccups, machines breaking and lack of replacement parts / labor, etc...

    Anyways, it's been a tough one but we are pretty confident that all the orders should go out this week. We have shipping confirmation on what is hopefully the last pieces of the various 90s Bundles arriving at HQ within the next couple of days. We are hoping everything checks in with the correct quantity and in good condition and then we can get them out the door.

    Sincerest thanks from the whole crew at Numero Group. As music and vinyl lovers ourselves, we know how much a delay really blows. Good news is that things on the global scale are looking to be much smoother for all the upcoming projects!
