PO Now: Tame Impala - "Currents" 4th Single Out


Recommended Posts

This currency conversion has me all screwed up. My e-mail stated it was $80.63 (which I assumed was USD) because $69.99 + $17 shipping would have been around $87 but my bank account was hit for $64.56.

 

Currently the conversion rate is 1 AUD = 0.791138 USD so it seems about right.

 

It looks like the $80.63 is less the GST tax which may not be applicable since the transaction is outside of AUS. Seems to make sense, but who knows.

I've seen the same thing happen when I ordered from Amazon UK.  It ended up being cheaper than what it said it would.  It does have something to do with taxes.

I took a chance and did the JB Hi-Fi one - if you look in the 'special offers' tab it looks like the same lenticular cards - worst case scenario they aren't and I still get the colored LPs - worth a chance... 

it's sods law as I just spent out on two LPs from them (JB) yesterday and may have been able to combine postage on this one. It's a killer them based in Aus!

I assumed that the currency was changed to U.S. when you were ordering. I'd feel a bit better if it did indeed come to around 63-65. I agree that I could do without the lenticular prints as well. I think its interesting that it shows the price for the colored vinyl only as being two dollars more expensive than the colored pre-order that came with extras. Seems a bit shady

What do you all think the probability of a colored edition being available in the US?

 

I feel like an Urban Outfitters exclusive edition is written all over this..

 

I just don't know if I should bite the bullet and order from Australia.

 

I personally like having the vinyl from the origin country of the band.
