vardcore Posted November 29, 2014 Author Share Posted November 29, 2014 OK, now I've got it .. thanks for clearing things out I think Matt has done periodic tests just to see if there was a way to save $. Tests like, "What if we ship your large order in two boxes instead of one?" I believe that it is always a little more $ that way. It is better for everyone involved if shipping costs are lower, because you feel better and will order more stuff more often. The flip side to this is that when we order records from other labels, we are often paying $1 per copy to have a 2xLP shipped from Californa to Florida. That gets added in before we post a price for a record in the catalog. Five years ago, I bet it was only 60 cents, by comparrisson. So... it's all additive. To compensate, we offer $4 LPs versus the normal $12. Ha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vardcore Posted November 29, 2014 Author Share Posted November 29, 2014 If I seem sensitive or reactionary about the question of overseas shipping rates, it is because I miss the days of SURFACE MAIL. Essentially, people living in other countries had an option equivalent to MEDIA RATE in the USA. That said, I remeber the very first time I was told about "Special 4th Class" (as Media Rate was called at the time). It cost 69 cents for the first pound and (I think) 25 cents for the next few pounds... and 19 cents past that. That was probably 1986 or 1987.

vardcore Posted November 29, 2014 Author Share Posted November 29, 2014 OH YEAH: I am about to put 100 - 200 test pressing up on the block. If anyone has any specific requests / wish lists, please send them over now and I will see what I have for you. (Yes, I just offered you "the inside track" for what that's worth, haha!) Thanks!

vardcore Posted November 29, 2014 Author Share Posted November 29, 2014 In for one LP grab bag for sure. Vardcore, Just sent you a PM about adding more on to the order to help with the shipping. If anyone ever wants to add-on to a fresh order, just place a second order and put in the NOTES section that you would like them combined. Then drop Matt an email to be extra safe.

vardcore Posted November 29, 2014 Author Share Posted November 29, 2014 Also, the 7" sets ran out. I added ten more sets, but after that they will be gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werner Herzog Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 I hate to be "that guy", but when will these be shipping out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vardcore Posted December 3, 2014 Author Share Posted December 3, 2014 I hate to be "that guy", but when will these be shipping out? I assembled all the poster, 7", and CD sets yesterday... and today is the day for LP-set-assembly. These will start shipping today and through the next several days. They will all be out early next week, unless you are waiting for something else (a pre-order). For example: * We have tracking info that the SUNSHINE STATE picture discs are arriving on Friday, but we have no clue when... and we need to assemble them thereafter... so those will start shipping Monday. * We have The Tim Version 7" but are still waiting on the 12"... arrgghhh!! (So close, UNITED, so close... why must you torture us like this?!?) UNRELATED: I am selling this 4x12 cabinet, previously used owned by Combat Wounded Veteran and used by many bands since. http://gainesville.craigslist.org/msg/4788034277.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajhall04 Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Mine came in today. Pretty satisfied. Had excellent packaging. Sweet wrapping paper Stickers Hot Water Music - Live in Chicago 6" ( Choked & Separated / 220 Years ) Hardcore/Punk Comp: City Limits - Down and Out in Toronto & Montreal Glass & Ashes - s/t The Bomb - The Challenger No Friends - s/t Young Livers - New Era Drop Everything is colored vinyl. Overall, can't complain. I have some new things to listen to, and I actually have been wanting to grab that Bomb and No Friends. Anyone else gets their grab bag, we can do some trades. Time to spin these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said the exact opposite of what I meant there because I'm a colossal dumbass. The only one I DO own is the Grabass one and yes, it is fantastic.
