parkinglot Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 I have thought about this before. Labels charge anywhere from $10-$18 to ship an LP to Canada, and anywhere from $6-$12 to ship a 7". I wonder how much you would actually save. $4-5 to ship an LP within the states, and what does a 7" cost? $3? Say you order 5 LPs and 5 7"s in Canada, that's on average I would say, $105 worth of shipping fees. In the states, it would be about $40 worth of shipping (I think). So about a $65 difference. What would bulk shipping 5 LPs and 5 7"s from the US to Canada cost, $25? These are rough estimates, because some labels overcharge like crazy, but I guess it has potential to save you a good chunk of cash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toby: Didn't you lose a lot of money on that other investment? The email? Michael Scott: You know what Toby, when the son of the deposed king of Nigeria emails you directly, asking for help, you help! His father ran the freaking country! Ok? (Couldn't find a clip of it.)

zpushor Posted July 1, 2014 Author Share Posted July 1, 2014 first off big ups and huge thank yous to all the people willing to help me out I really appreciate it. I have however started using a border pick up system so I should not be needing help from here on in but again I really appreciate it I can not count how many times I have gone to pay for a record and shipping it to canada costs more than the record I want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
