horrorbusiness138 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I got a green day record from germany and shipping only cost me like $7. But I think I got lucky with that. $7 does seem waaay too cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmoney Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Ouch!! That does seem expensive. But then again I've never shipped a record overseas and I have no idea what shipping should run. HT charges about $40 (I think it's usually a little more). For me to buy a record and ship overseas, I pay $5 to HT, then a record like this runs about $21 to England cause its a 2xLP. So people still save about $15 having it shipped twice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotcha, I was always curious what shipping ran for shipping to other countries. I'll join in on starting to keep an eye out for future records if it's saving people that much money.

piky0032 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Out of curiosity, how much does HT charge for oversea shipping? From Us to Australia for 1 copy it was $41.00.........for 2 copies it was $41.00....and then it starts going up in increments......pity, would add more to the order if it stayed at $41, maybe 2 or 3 more records to make it worth while. To show just how expensive it is, i ordered two pairs of DC's (in shoe boxes) from Eastbay US on Friday, Both Arrived on Tuesday in Australia, that was Non Express shipping and cost $40.......$1 cheaper than shipping 1 or 2 records from HT Usually with a double record i would be looking at $20 from US to Aus, so i don't know where this $41 comes from entendu 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it you use USPS? If so is this a overseas flat rate by chance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danieljhayman Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Yeah HT shipping to UK is $42. I've ordered double LP's from the US with only like $15 shipping. It's terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdk261 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 First post defense to the villainious flipper...has the lurker come out of the wood work & blown his own cover in an attempt to save face? Along with all the candy and video games, does this..."friend" of yours also sell...Blink 182 vinyl records...? I see what you did there, with the quotes. Anyway, no lol it's not me. My first post had to happen at some point, right? I'm not defending the flippers, just simply pointing out that the reason they exist is because people allow them to exist. I wish I could go back in time and slap the first person to ever spend $100 on a record for opening the floodgates for this sort of crap. In all seriousness though, I went to high school with this guy and he literally goes to target, buys board games and then sells them on amazon. It's stupid, but he makes a killing.

andydrums Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Yeah $42 is crazy. A mate of mine picks up any HT releases I ever want, when ordering his own copies. He's shipping me MTTS, S/T, Siren Song & a Cancer Bats LP and I think he was quoted about $45! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dandw12786 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Just try and order x-amount copies. If it lets you, then there's at least that many left Tried to do that out of curiosity, and I cant enter a quantity of more than 99. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidhardy Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 People think that the prices are crazy, and they are! Just think of all of us overseas collectors who's collection would be at least 30% bigger if we didn't have to pay shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert_Sofa Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Tried to do that out of curiosity, and I cant enter a quantity of more than 99. If i click the order button 10x times, there will be 10x lines of albums on the order page. For EACH of those lines, I can order up to 99 records. So I can (10x99) get close to 1000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horrorbusiness138 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Tried to do that out of curiosity, and I cant enter a quantity of more than 99. If there is indeed less than 100 left, then these sold insanely fast!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marc32137 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Just got an email from UPS MyChoice about the tracking number being created and since it's a Mail Innovations package (UPS takes it to my local post office and they deliver it) I can give UPS $3.50 and they'll deliver it instead. I don't think they've ever offered that to me before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
