Understood, totally not saying it doesn't suck...i'm just hoping we realize it's not a shady move or anything. The pain is felt by others when something is exclusive to the US.

itsgoodtobefree Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 It is a shady move though. It doesn't cost $40 to ship two records overseas. Possibly if these were registered or expedited, but it looks like they aren't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorrisNuts Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Most of the time I order from Europe it's between $9 to $12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youspinmeround Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I emailed them about increased shipping when I went to place my order. They said it was due to increased fulfillment prices, shipping costs, etc. It was bs but I kinda read into it thinking it was going to get here priority. Mine shipped on 15th and nothing. My dead vibrations records from fuzz club shipped on 19th. Seeing which gets here first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustSchwimmer Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Royal Mail for 3 pounds to the USA is £17.20 or $24.44, again I'm not saying I like it I just think it's an accurate reflection of the cost they are paying. bluescreenlife 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timsimmons Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 (edited) Aren’t they supposed to be 180g and in tip on gatefold sleeves? That isn’t far from1.5lbs Edited February 1, 2018 by timsimmons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustSchwimmer Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 (edited) Anything over 2 pounds ships as 3, you guys and gals know that. Edited February 1, 2018 by JustSchwimmer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelby Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Just now, JustSchwimmer said: That would be a 3 pound package then... I know, we posted at the same time I wasn't replying to you. That's 3 double LPs these are 2 single LP packages so they def shouldn't weigh the same. Two 180 gram records are about .80lbs and theyre heavier than the jacket so that still wouldn't explain it.

youspinmeround Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 The way I justified that this is that shipping should have been about 25 bucks So I paid 30 dollars each for a AAA well pressed record in a gatefold sleeve that an OG this clean would could me well above both of these shipped numanoid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustSchwimmer Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Certainly not trying to start anything here and I certainly agree that the shipping price sucks, I've just had the experience reversed and quoted actual shipping costs from the states to various countries overseas and was accused of gouging when I was quoting actual cost. Nonetheless I'm super excited for these and can't wait to get them in hand! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even then, let's say you add on $1 for the price of a mailer and packing per order, it's still about $10 less than what they are charging. I totally get how overseas shipping can sometimes be crazy expensive, especially being in Canada where it sometimes costs an arm and leg to send something overseas. But something doesn't add with this scenario, especially given the above example, and also the fact that they aren't using the extra $$$ to ship this express or with any tracking, since it's taking a while to get to North America.

I'm saying. I was going to order it yesterday to end the wait for this to be available states side and noticed the shipping cost almost as much as the record. Not going to to do it.
