jase Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Don't forget the $9 US customs charge. Shipping anything overseas isn't cheap. For one 12". It's costs me about $12 in shipping depending on how much the seller/label wants to jack it. I've paid up to $17 for ONE record shipped here, but was packed well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseydave77 Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 It is about $13.50 to ship one LP in a mailer to Australia. That same package in reverse is about $30 or something like that. There a ton of tariffs and it is likely killing Australian Distros and Labels. I was going to make a large purchase from a seller on here but the actual shipping was going to be about $75 and I had to pass in the end. He told me he understood and that the shipping has killed many deals for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
