As of now there are no plans for physical distro. How do people ship records overseas without it costing a fortune?! Seems like USPS raises their prices every month.

I'm not overseas but it pushed the price to a little higher than I can justify right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nelso330 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 $6.50 isn't too far off if you consider packing materials! That's 1,000 boxes and hopefully some bubble wrap or filler board...hopefully tracking as well and you're at $6.00 easy, especially if you live across the country from where its shipped, based on distance and weight... Look I don't want to pay $6.50 either but if its a small few man operation it's not that far off! Considering larger labels charge more for media mail at times...

I'm not overseas but it pushed the price to a little higher than I can justify right now . Ahh. Well, yeah media mail is like $4 and change, and we ship with about $2 and change worth of cardboard... So we came up with $6.50 for shipping. If that's too steep for ya we understand. Honestly we are still figuring out how to properly run our online store since we took it over ourselves a few months back. Trying to charge as close to actual costs for shipping and packaging as possible... Anywho, we'll be toting the record around the states when we tour next year... Hopefully we'll come through your town! CaptainHerbalLife, deltadon and highfives 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toomanyrecords Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Oh, hell yeah. I'll just grab one when I (inevitably) see you guys live. I don't know if this is Jimmy behind the account or someone else but if it's Jimmy - I live in LA and I'm really good friends with Aaron M. and he saw you guys twice in the past few months and I tried to join him both times but had to work. Ugh. Soon, hopefully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nihac Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Holy moly. Ordered a clear one. Shipping to Germany is pricey, but I have to get this. Super excited. niblips and CaptainHerbalLife 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellodees Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Was so happy to see this as this means hopefully a new tour and I can finally see you guys live. I ordered the red one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlbumLeafMerch Posted August 28, 2014 Author Share Posted August 28, 2014 Does this come with any sort of digital download? Asking for a friend who never got this album... Nah unfortunately not, it's surprisingly expensive to set that up. Tell your friend to "illegally" download it! jack8urt0n and highfives 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we'll come through your town! Media Mail is only $4+ if you're shipping multiple LPs at once (or one reallllly heavy LP). The cost of shipping single LPs for my label is between $2.83 and $3.02, and double LPs for $3.16. I charge $4 for shipping, but I should probably charge closer to $5, as the mailers I get cost $1.25 each. Anyway, the point is Media Mail doesn't cost what you're thinking it costs. You could lower your shipping by a dollar and not take a loss. Love your band, btw. Into The Blue Again is my perma-jam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niblips Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 $12.50 shipping to Canada... and we are only next door. I paid it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Into The Blue Again is my perma-jam. we add tracking ($0.23) and insurance ($0.80)... and probably too much cardboard that pushes it just over a pound... and also costs us more than $1.25 in packaging... maybe insurance is for wusses!?

CaptainHerbalLife Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 It's being hinted that Seal Beach might be coming up next? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smailtronic Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Has anybody heard this? Curious if it's more like early-mid Album Leaf, or more like Chorus of Storytellers Album Leaf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
