daegor Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 A 6 song EP should never be $15 And over $18 to ship to Canada? come on! Domestic seems reasonable... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sh0ez Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 $6+ shipping for a 10-inch. No media mail option. $23.50 for a 6-song 10-inch is meh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blkheartgroup Posted February 18, 2012 Author Share Posted February 18, 2012 As a collector myself (as well as a member of this board other than this account) i totally understand the concerns of shipping prices as well as the cost in general of the release and hopefully i can offer up some clarity. Shipping prices - While i don't specifically handle the pricing and integrations to the best of my understanding, our e-commerce platform's integration w/ USPS doesn't offer a media mail option and the prices in general are just rate based. To the best of my knowledge those rates are unfortunately out of our control. Release price - I agree $15 is a little pricey, however w/ the cost from the pressing plant as well as splitting profits w/ the band there isn't much wiggle room (the cost per unit actually went up when we dropped the qty but we won't be raising the price to compensate). While it could have been a little cheaper if we went w/ a single color we (as well as the band) wanted to do something really cool. All of us figured w/ it being a 5 year old album that a really fun color option would be a added selling point. Not that it helps justify it but i've seen quite a few 10"s that are single color be the same price. We should be having a upcoming sale and i always post the details in relevant threads so i will absolutely be doing that for you guys here & if some people are still bummed about shipping prices im pretty sure In Vinyl We Trust will be carrying these so there is a option for that as well. I hope this offers some clarity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daegor Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I asked In Vinyl We Trust if they were getting any copies, and they replied that they are, I may pick up a copy from them when they do depending on their cost/shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blkheartgroup Posted March 19, 2012 Author Share Posted March 19, 2012 These should start shipping this week, we had a delay from the pressing plant and will hopefully be getting these in the next couple days. And im pretty sure IVWT will still be getting a order of these (however i don't handle that side of the business so im not 100% but im pretty sure they placed a order) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blkheartgroup Posted March 21, 2012 Author Share Posted March 21, 2012 These came in today and will start shipping today and tomorrow. The splatter came out a little different than the mock up but they still look awesome. sorry for the crappy iphone pic, the greens brighter in person.

blkheartgroup Posted March 21, 2012 Author Share Posted March 21, 2012 also, its not noted on the label because we didn't find out till after art was submitted and we received the test pressings but these are 45rpm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daegor Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 That looks wicked, and it's awesome that it's a 45! Definitely going to have to pick up a copy. How many do you guys have left in stock roughly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
