howitgoes Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 This is probably a really stupid question, but I don't know the answer to it, so I'm asking. Why is shipping to Canada so ridiculous? I would love to start buying more off of vinyl collective store, but to order 7-8 records and 1-2 seven inches, it would cost me over $40 to ship the package. that is just too steep for me.

gravitylovesdrunks Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 shipping to canada isn't really that ridiculous, other people just think it is and so they wrongly price their shipping. that shit shouldn't be more than $25 AT ABSOLUTE MOST to ship, and yet it's priced at nearly double.

jailhouse Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 You can't ship media mail to canada, so 8 records and 2 7's, including packing material probably weighs 10 lbs so it might be damn near on the money. I know for one LP it comes to about 4.50-5.00 1st class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cactusbot Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Yeah usually costs me 5.50-6.50 to ship a single LP to Canada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

demarco Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 yeah vc has a good price on shipping to canada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylovesdrunks Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 VC has an initial good price on shipping to canada, but in my opinion, the additional $3 for every LP is a little bit off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cactusbot Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Like I said, usually costs me $5.50-$6.50 to ship a single LP to Canada. Costs about $8.50 to send a 2xLP. $2 more. So $3 isn't that bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylovesdrunks Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 i agree man, it's just a tiny bit off here at VC- hardly nothing. just starts to add up the more records you buy at once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forgeagain Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Well, it's a good way to make foreigners pay for the money they lose on domestic shipping when people order more than a couple things! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slowpoke Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 If you think shipping to canada is bad, try sending from lavender town to cinnabar island! For that much I could buy 2 super potions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miguelthibodeau Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 I find VC being really good with shipping to Canada. I've noticed Interpunk lately has been quite expensive when it comes to vinyl. You actually have to buy 3 to make it decent (when you divide the whole thing by 3) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

againstmatt Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I have family in florida, so I get most of my stuff shipped there and wait til my relatives from florida come and visit or until I visit. It's a long wait but always worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firebird1 Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Insound and Saddle Creek have cheap shipping to CA I totally agree. VC IS REALLY expensive concerning shippinh to Canada. They should have the same deal those two have. If someone knows why they don't, I'm really curious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

srcvinyl Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Canada post is the WORSE company in the world. They are the reason why it is so expensive. Do you know that as a Canadian it costs me MORE to ship within my own country ($12 PER VINYL!) than to ship anywhere else in the world. I can only assume that shipping to Canada from USPS is expensive because Canada Post charges a LOT. Also, to ship internationally (Non USA or Canada) Canada post takes 4-8 weeks! Slowest mail provider in the world. The average international order as well takes about the full 8 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
