jerseypride Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 So I ordered an LP from Banquet and the shipping was £7 to NYC. I emailed them to ask if I could add two 7" to the order and they said shiping would be an extra £5.25. Is it me, or does that seem ridiculously excessive?

GradedOnACurve Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Pounds to dollars exchange rate has been brutal for a while. I also don't know how Royal Airmail works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseypride Posted August 7, 2012 Author Share Posted August 7, 2012 Probably not dude. It's a pretty big ocean. Yeah, I hear that. My point is that it's all going in the same mailer and the added weight of a 7" or two is pretty minor. I just don't see how it would almost double the shipping.

marcrucial Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Postage to the US from the UK is expensive - i've recently sent a few single LPs and its been closer to £10 so based on that you're getting it cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glass realms Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 That's pretty ridiculous. Adding two 7" to an LP package should only cost another £2 on top of the £7. That's one of the reasons why I rarely order from Banquet. Plus they don't remove VAT for people in the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
