If this were the case we'd see similar prices for US to Canada as Canada to US.

We are. Every LP that I order from the states are $12 - $16 US to ship. I haven't seen anything cheaper than that for many years. If you do an order at Sub Pop, it costs $24.95 + for 4 LPs. Regardless, the extra cost is tacked on because of Canada Post and what they charge to take the package. USPS acts as a "broker" for Canada Post when someone ships here - hence the higher rates. 

It's not the dollar amount, even when our dollars are comparable our costs are still WAY higher.  I mean, regardless of the specific cost, all you need to realize our system is stupid is notice this small fact:

• Cost to ship an LP from a Canadian address to a Canadian address is $14 (roughly, for example)
• Cost to ship from a US address to a Canadian address is $10-12 (once converted to CAD)
• Cost to ship from a Canadian address to a US address is $8.50

How does that make any sense??

 

Our shipping costs are shitty because our postal system is not capable of running a business.

On the surface, it makes no sense. I dug deeper and found the reason - infrastructure. Once a package enters the USPS chain, the network is huge, therefore allowing cheaper rates. Canada has a small fraction of the trucks/outlets/employees, so the rates are higher. Location/Distance also makes a difference. It costs me around $10 - $12 US to ship a single LP from Canada to US. So everyone's experience is different. 

As per Facebook - Black/Yellow LTD to 1800 and some will hit stores (outside of their mailorder). Red is LTD to 200 (webstore). 

Ordered. And I would also love a new Assemble Head album. Hope that happens again one day.

Anyone who's a fan of the late, great Eric's Trip knows how hard/expensive this LP is to pick up. First re-press run on color. Get on it!

Thanks so much!!! I've been waiting years to own this and was able to grab a copy. I can't believe they can ship it air mail for under $6. That's awesome. I wish USPS rates were comparable so I wouldn't have to gut my Discogs international customers.

My pleasure! Always happy to help... and agreed on the shipping front. It costs me $18 - $15 to ship a single LP overseas from Canada. Ouch!

Two Red copies left at Juno - $30.77 (US) shipped.

Nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thanks for this link. I just spent $240 on 10 records thanks to it. lol.

$27.91 shipped to the USA, and you're guaranteed the White version (while supplies last/while it's still listed on this page). Love this store. 

They have not gone up yet. Lots of people are getting confused by this. Check the SL Europe Facebook page - they are assuring everybody that when they say midnight in Amsterdam, they mean exactly that.

 I think putting "Sold Out" on the page was a poor choice of words, hence people's confusion. How about "On Sale at X date/time" next time?!

I have the Sloan Hardcore 7" and Shirt that I would be willing to trade if anyone is interested...trying to think out my 7" collection.  This one was limited to 500.  I think the shirt is a large and is unworn!

Pm'd.

I need to stop looking in this thread in the hopes that I see the only 3 words I want to see. Bad. Motor. Finger.

Well, well.

Got mine today! Also went to the Ballbreaker show in '96. So glad these are back in print.

Comes out to about the same price Sound Stage Direct has it at. I just hope it comes colored.

Juno guarentees that it's color. They only list the actual item in the store once they get it and do no pre-orders. Something to keep in mind to make sure you get color pressings for sure in the future!

"Bee Colored" edition now listed at Juno. $28.10 plus (cheap) shipping.

If anyone is interested, I saw three copies of the "RSD edition" at Waterloo Records in Austin, TX this past week.

Canadians: 2xLP now on amazon.ca starting at 30.33 CDN w/ Free Shipping.

http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00IN5KZ6S/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I'm guessing the $187 is for the box set.

It is indeed the Box Set. If the original poster scrolled down on the Amazon page, it shows a picture of the contents and the 6 Disc description. Regular 2xLP version has yet to be listed on .ca. 

I mean who needs to eat right

News I can get into. Big time.

Awesome. Just pre-ordered the Mozes and the Firstborn color LP. Great stuff.

I think it was $15 at the show.

Cool. Thanks for the info!

Saw him for the first time last week in Montreal and I was impressed. Grabbed the record and it was a blue one.

Sweet. How much was the LP at the show? Just debating whether to order online or wait 2 weeks for my local show.
