sethdavid Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 The Dine Alone page just accidentally brought me to this link (?), but it's a $110 PO bundle. Doesn't look like they've put up the album by itself yet. https://www.dinealonestore.com/collections/pre-orders/products/tokyo-police-club-tpc-vinyl-bundle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeartSwells Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Extra $15 CAD for the clear variant is a piss take. ... Still bought it though, even with the extortionate UK shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veggiecorecords Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Why doesn't Dine Alone have a US Store so we don't have to pay $22 in shipping.

ejc625 Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 It’s 22 CAD. @veggiecorecords Was going to get it, but I think I’m going to stick with the white - which I assume has the same packaging as the clear, minus the belly band.

veggiecorecords Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 So $47.24 shipped after converting from CAD to USD. Still too much for me right now unfortunately. Would Dine Alone combine shipping for this and Say Anything you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Bud, Dine Alone Records is a Canadian independent record label, founded in St. Catharines and Toronto by Joel Carriere. The label is now based in Toronto, Nashville and Los Angeles. Only reason I said that. Some bigger labels have multiple stores for different countries, but sure single me out like I'm an asshole because I don't want to pay $50 for an LP sethdavid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneThreeOneTwo Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 (edited) Well, go ahead and self-label yourself an asshole; I was merely inferring illogical entitlement. Maybe when your own record company establishes an office in another country you'll realize that doesn't automatically mean and certainly in no way obliges you to open up a brick-and-mortar store housing and distributing physical product (as opposed to A&R). Because debating the issue with me as opposed to directly emailing the label is certainly the more productive method of registering your belief that "based in" means "must have a store/storefront".

Sorry I complained about this as I know as a Canadian you must pay extra for records coming from the states. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not even that. I'm sure most Aussies, Europeans and Canadians on this board have given up trying to convince the vast majority of you to look at the Location we post before replying with "How can you pass on this with free shipping no less?!?!" for the 4,783rd time. It's blatantly obvious it's impossible to convince Americans that other countries exist, and that businesses in those countries NEVER offer the same level of sales incentives. If only y'all knew how good you have it. That rational, true & valid perspective, for instance, would force you to forego moaning about expensive shipping when, say, you realize that the exchange rate is very much in Americans' favour as far as Canadian product specifically goes. gazzo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sethdavid Posted September 7, 2018 Author Share Posted September 7, 2018 (edited) Edit: I thought my order got cancelled JK they just sent me a refund for a partial amount I guess they adjusted the price. I just assumed the worst when I saw an email that said "You have a refund from Dine Alone Music" Edited September 7, 2018 by sethdavid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrainGilliams Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Same here. I'm in the US and just received a refund for 13 CAD. That brings it to around $38 shipped to the US which is somewhat reasonable for import prices. Thank you Dine Alone for the mystery refund!

HeartSwells Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 1 hour ago, gazzo said: shipping for cad stores is actually cheaper than shipping from us stores, like 10-12 dollars less For the most part I'd agree. I spent a good 5 minutes working out which option was best as I've been after the Melon EPs and clear Champ. Just found shipping for the new album odd ($35 CAD) when the seemingly larger packaging for the Deluxe EPs ended up cheaper. They've seem to have adjusted it anyway, when ordering the 3 earlier the only option was $85 CAD, now it's $39 CAD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veggiecorecords Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Still showing as 62 CAD for me. Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voltagedrop Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Wow, surprised the clear is still available. Just grabbed one with free pickup at their office! Also, I'd just like to point out that Canada Post needs $4 media mail like in the US. Paying $10-$20 to ship a record just within Canada is balls.

hori Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Any Canadian label should look into a service like Chit Chat Express for cheap shipping to the US. They basically charge about a loonie per package to drive a crapload of packages to the US and then ship with USPS so you get to use those rates! So I can ship a record from Canada to the US for about $5-$6 with them using media mail. Shipping within Canada still sucks though.
