I don't dispute the actual cost of shipping over here (or various other parts of the world). The issue I sometimes take is that there seems to be an enormous variation between what different labels/suppliers charge. I've had 10 LPs shipped for $25 before now - maybe some options on international shipping cost would help? Such as uninsured at the risk of the buyer etc. For clarity, not sure what No Idea are charging shipping for this batch - it might be $25 for all I know!

gazzo Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Yeah, some use mail forwarding stuff, like Merchnow uses Swiss Post and they can keep the price low. But i think for some independent things, those companies are just to expensive to work with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kits in England cost much less than they do here, but they charge us for the shipping price. I think my last Arsenal shirt saved me $5 and cost me 3 weeks having it shipped from London rather than the Arsenal USA store. It seems like over seas shipping should be a lot cheaper by now, but here we are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the time 1 pound sterling was $1.50USD...so that would be $12 to ship...which is what I see on LPs these days. An Arsenal shirt was 39.95GBP and $89.95 USD....so either $60 in London + Shipping or $90 in Charleston, NC + Shipping...for my Arsenal gear, my Henry #12 Long sleeve and my daughter's scarf and touque, I got those form the Arsenal store and my training jacket came from another EU store. They made me take it on the shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll still get shit for it despite being completely transparent. Absolutely. For the record, I have NEVER had anyone take me up on the FedEx option. Not once. I have only ONCE had anyone take me up on the option I offer below: *** NOTE TO OVERSEAS HUMANS: Overseas postage costs a fortune, either way it crosses the Atlantic. If you get together with a couple friends, you may well be able to have 3-4 sets shipped together via FedEx for a massive savings. (If interested in this option, please write to: [email protected]) As well, if you place an order and ASK in the NOTES section: we can make sure to leave out any heavier records (gatefolds, etc) and we may be able to knock a pound or two off the rate. We would then issue a refund for the difference. As well, any time your box exceeds 4 pounds, it leaps from FCMI to PRIORITY and adds a lot of $$. Nothing else we can do to help. It's the same shipping from OVERSEAS to the USA... £££ On 3/29/2017 at 11:20 AM, Tidal Wave said: Nice try with the overseas comment.

yeah_totally Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 (edited) Picked one up. Had really good luck with the 35 7"s grab bag last time. Hoping for some No Idea lps this go around. Edited April 5, 2017 by yeah_totally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slipcraig Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 I grabbed one. Even if all the LPs suck, I'm happy to support an independent business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yeah_totally Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 I love No Idea and have found some gems in their previous grab bags, but this one was kind of a bummer. Nothing I've even remotely heard of and everything arrived pretty beat up. And I know it says 12"s, but you'd expect some full lengths in the package. This was all EPs and 10"s. Got a rad Crusades button and Leatherface pin, along with an Against Me poster. Still a disappointment overall though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottheisel Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 My box was pretty awesome, actually — a few CDs (some in jewel cases, some without), an Against Me! poster and the following records: Bombshell - S/T LP Fellow Project - Stable Life LP Freak Wave - S/T 12-inch Grim Fandango - Flicker Noise LP Landed - Dirty Bomb 12-inch Manifesto Jukebox/A Death In The Family split LP Mere Women - Your Town LP Franz Nicolay - St. Sebastian Of The Short Stage 10-inch Old Man Gloom - Meditations In B LP (1st press!) Pigs - Illuminati House Party LP I'm familiar with some of these bands but a lot are new to me (especially the three LPs on Poison City, so I'm assuming those bands are all Australian). Either way, that OMG record alone is a $25-30 record so my box was worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out Of Time Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 (edited) Received these: Lake Me - Solace V/A (Kylesa, Municipal Waste) - Best Friends Day 6 Tony Wain and the Payne - Don't Worry About Anything Ever Peter Stubb - Selected Cuts Vol. 1 Let Me Run - Meet Me At The Bottom Lil Daggers - S/T Auxes - Ichkannichtmehr Shotwell - Celery, Beef and Iron 10" Axeman - Arrive - Already traded in. Not at all what I'm into. Countdown to Oblivion - Discography - Already traded in. Not at all what I'm into. Bonus goods: 5 cds (sealed and loose) Against Me! - Disco Before poster AP Euro T(h)rash Tour 2007 pin - Not exactly sure what band this is referring to. A random stud from a studded belt? I am unfamiliar with most of these. While I liked what I heard from a few of these, I think I'm done with grab bags in general.

So, I didn't have any perspective as to what I would be getting. That's why I passed. I hope those who got it are happy with what they received.
