adamlikesmusic Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Everything is new in the webstore. Shipping out of the US varies by what you order, I believe. I could be wrong, though, as I've never ordered from VC outside of the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 shipping costs for one LP are around $11 to Germany, so I believe Italy will roughly be the same. 3 LPs cost $21 postage as far as I remember Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xlovecolouredx Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 in my opinion,buy 4 lps from vinyl collective store per one time is a good idea. shipping for 4 lps is 25 usd. not too much when you average 25 by 4.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xfedaykinx Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 i believe its a combination of the italian post being notorious for losing packages, leading to disputes and claims of unsent records and apparently a lot of scams come out of italy. no idea how that got started.

cj Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 i got a claim from italy about 2 months ago. it was because the italian post needs an exact description. i wrote 1 vinyl lp and they sent it back saying the description wasnt good enough. i was pissed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ijux Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 hmmm, sounds weird so they want a description of what is inside the package so they can steal the cd/dvd/lp is its uninsured Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catharsis Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 I'm from Italy and i often buy records from Usa, frankly Italian Post doesn't offer a great service but it's not a total scum. I agree with xfedaykinx, this crappy situation was the result of several combined things.The main cause was the so called "2007 Christmas Crisis" when the italian postal service collapsed due to the overshipment of the Christmas' period. The result was a terrific delay in consignment (not only from Usa): i received in march a order shipped on 19th december At the moment the situation is coming back normal; i received my last five orders (2 from VC)- all shipped via First class - within 10 days. Moreover italian custom office has increased the controls for all the goods that come from no EU countries: so if a package has stopped at custom, a delay in consignment is 100% guaranteed (especially if you use Priority mail ). x newbie : feel free to email me if you have doubts or you need informations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been living in Italy for 3 months and ordered some magazines from interpunk which they marked as 'merchandise'. After not getting them for 2 months I then got phonecalls and mail from the post office asking me (in Italian) to clarify specifically what the goods were.
