kannibal Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 I'm 100% sure I didn't pay $20 for shipping. Not sure what happened between my order and now, but it's clearly a HUGE amount of bullshit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psus2h Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 So why don't we start some sort of Sonic Highways exchange here? I mean really let's get creative. If you get one you don't want swap with someone else. DC for LA. SF for Seattle. I'm thinking order from Amazon, Bullmoose, SRC, wherever. Also just for fun I added 10 albums to my cart on the FF webstore (not including SH) and the shipping came out to just under $25 for ten albums..... One album $8.62. That's shipping to DC.

Or even just an exchange of jackets. I wouldn't think the records themselves would be different So why not just swap out the jacket so you can still listen to the record while you're waiting for the cover you want to come in? Also, I honestly wish they weren't doing it like this. I actually really like the full image much more than the individual ones. Would have been nice if they had the 9 different choices they have now, plus one more that's just the full image.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, maybe they could've made each individual cover limited to 500 or something and have the "standard" release the whole image Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Limited, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsgoodtobefree Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 They said that those city covers are first pressing only. I think they'll have the complete cover for later pressings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can ship these to each other about 5 times before it would cost the same as the FF webstore. Wether it be the jacket only or the whole thing I think it's a solid solution to a lame issue.

kramer73 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Well, they don't seem to be around to answer emails, so I sent them a message on Twitter so everyone can see. I just want to know why I should pay an extra 20 bucks for shipping, that's all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just a normal guy kevin Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 I don't think they have a satisfying answer for people who understand the realistic costs associated with shipping LPs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsgoodtobefree Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 From their Facebook: As a THANKS for pre-ordering direct, every pre-order from FF official Sonic Highways store http://sonichighways.foofighters.com/ will come with a free gift. This sweet limited edition Flexi disc features Foo's take on Roky Erickson's "Two Headed Dog" & is ONLY available free with purchase from Foo Fighters official Sonic Highways store. Don’t worry!! If you’ve already pre-ordered from the FF Sonic Highways store, the collectible Flexi will be shipped with your original order. Offer is good while supplies last. I would probably order from their site if shipping wasn't the same price as the album! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's up with that. 20 freaking dollars, that's absurd. I could by another record. I'll be hitting up my local record shop. F*ck the flexi. #F*UCTHEFLEXI stl_ben, marco_182 and aju2streets 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattcrandall Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 The shipping on their site is insane - I'm a diehard and was contemplating the $150 package - but shipping to canada is SIXTY DOLLARS. Excuse me!? Unbelievable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psus2h Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 As much as some of the commies here will criticize me on this, if your really want a specific cover, cough up the money, order from FF, and sell the flexi disc. You can probably come out ahead on the deal. highfives 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xpacinox Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 shipping to germany would be 43 bucks. plus 23 bucks for the record. thats crazy.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serum7 Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 I ordered the deluxe so I just figured the high shipping was due to all the crap in it and the size. Not only is the price to ship just the LP bad, but the CD is $8 to ship by itself. I highly doubt the band is even aware of it, but that company needs a swift kick in the nuts.
