According to the info on the website Circe is being shipped from the UK, Takk.. however from the US but it looks like both are being released on Krunk. I don't know what to make of this. Circe is shipping from Charlestown, USA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itsgoodtobefree Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Huh? Check again, at the bottom. Probably adjusts the location to where you are located if they have it closer to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keithyap Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 You didn't miss anything....they (Amazon) don't have the records yet...and also don't know how many they will be receiving...just like your local Indepdent Record Store Thanks for letting me know!

themightychew Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Noticed this on the site: "WE DO OUR BEST TO ASSURE THAT YOUR VINYL REACHES YOU IN THE BEST POSSIBLE CONDITION, BUT GIVEN THE FACT THESE ARE BEING HANDLED AND TRANSPORTED WORLDWIDE SMALL CORNER DINGS AND MINOR SEAM SPLITS MAY OCCASIONALLY OCCUR. IF YOU'RE A COLLECTOR WHO REQUIRES MINT CONDITION WE RECOMMEND PICKING UP OUR RELEASES FROM YOUR LOCAL RECORD STORE." Fair enough, and at least they're being open about it, but still pretty lame considering, in my experience, the vast majority of distributors\labels\bands also ship worldwide with adequate protection and no-brainers like shipping vinyl outside of the sleeves etc. If I was getting complaints about dings and splits from customers I'd improve my packaging. Hell, all my KGatLW LPs from Flightless arrived from Australia in pizza boxes completely mint; it's really not that hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjkenney Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Now I can sleep easy. Are you going to be packaging every single copy or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themightychew Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 I'm in the UK so all my records arrive via Royal Mail footmen delivered on a plump satin cushion scented with rosewater ps those King Gizzard LPs I was talking about came in *actual* pizza boxes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjkenney Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 The lady at my local po calls them pizza boxes too. Didn't realize it was a widespread thing. Amazing things can be held in those boxes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barberbro Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Again, now the band themselves are urging you to talk to your Local Indepdent Record Store..Been calling every week! Still not showing up in Canadian systems. I already ordered from the band site, but all this packaging talk has me worried. If I could secure a copy of this from a brick and mortar here in Toronto, I'd definitely get it from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barberbro Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Just got off the phone with my local. $75 + tax...? That's insane. When I called last week it was $62.99. I'm going to keep my pre with the band's website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloudsbelow Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Candian stores are getting screwed on this one. something to do with US licensing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cloudsbelow Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Canadian stores aren't getting screwed. To secure distribution rights for the U.S. costs X amount to secure distribution rights for North America costs X more.....the group/Distro that signed the deal had X amount of money to work with....they're purpose is also to keep Independent Record Stores alive because they feel it's important...because they feel music is important. In order to keep the production cost lower an order for X amount had to be placed....it is a balancing act between distribution rights and not having a ton of unsold product eating up space and tying up capital for future projects/endeavors. Any large enough entity inside the country of Canada with enough capital could've easily secured an exclusive Distro deal for the Country of Canada or for North America as well. This is just how the cookie crumbled this time. Nobody is holding out on Canada....it's a sign contract that the group/Distro can't afford to be in breach of. Australia....if Rocket Distro could order from the group/Distro the price would indeed end up being that high. The product is being manufactured in Europe (I believe), shipped to the U.S. Distro, would then be repacked and shipped to Rocket Distro in Australia and then Distributed to a local Independent Record Store......a whole lot of shipping and handling expenses add up when you're shipping heavy and fragile items around the globe.... ... yeah so what I said.. Canadian stores (customers) are getting screwed because of the cost of licensing the distribution. potato.. potatoe. I would have much rather bought my from local Mom and Pop shop, but instead I had to order from the states. Not the end of the world for me but it sure doesnt do my local indie store any favours. I get why and its nothing new.... it sucks, for everyone north of the border. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 MURICA!! I feel ya though, I spent nearly $200 this year on 3 POs from AUS and UK. Sucks but is what it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloudsbelow Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 I ended up just finding a work around and ordering from bullmoose, so i'm okay with it all.. It just eats me up inside whenever I have to give money to someone other than my fav.local indie shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 True, but on the bright side I you had to give your $ to any place other than your favorite indie shop you can't get much better than bullmoose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
