arrived in London, ON...$26.75 in fees

looks pretty good, but pricey with the shipping and fees

only complaint is the orpheum cd tracklisting when put into itunes doesn't bring up song titles, I had to manually add everything

I'm not understanding this...

arrived in Oshawa, Ontario today... $46 IN FEES!!!

So that's $46 CDN plus $39.00 USD for shipping?!?!??!?!?!?!??!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!

This happened to nearly every European country that ordered the Super Deluxe Ten Boxed Set.
It didn't happen this time, as Sony sold Europe the set, not 10 Club. The Sony ordering page asked us to pick our country, and it factored in the tax to the final cost on the pre-order. No surprises this time. I feel your pain though, from the time of the Ten Box...

Just ordered mine to go with my Super Deluxe Ten.

The extra 26.50 in charges is total crap. 10c needs to find a better way of shipping these. That said....
Amazing box, BUT my litho of the whole band has a hugely crumpled corner, like it got crumpled going into the envelope thing.

My LP copy of VS skips about 10-15 seconds into 'Go'. I hear, chk, chk, chk about 7 or so times and only out of the right speaker. Does anyone else have this issue?

Well I am waiting for my box set to arrive, but when I got the ten boxset 2 years ago on the Drop In The Park LP right at the end of porch where it really starts to climax in the song it skips quite a few times always did since it was first opened, so i dunno if it was a defect in the vinyl or just a bad copy I got.

Same here. Luckily my pay day is Thursday so they just gotta hold off till then haha either that or not take the money at all. Do we know if it's just us or has this happened with lots of people?

Dr Emmett Brown

We're the only two I know of this has happened to.

Anyone else out there had the same thing?

Getting mine today. Got a note that the mailman left yesterday when I was at work. I'm gonna go to the post office to get it today. Little excited to go through all the fun stuff.

quick note to Canadians: the money we're being charged (even though we already paid for shipping) by Canada Post is not the Ten Club's fault. It's the taxes/duty we have to pay for buying things out of the country.... sometimes small orders get through without this charge (I never get charged for the Ten Club T-shirts I've ordered) but a big box-set is not going to be missed by the taxman and/or customs. If re-read what Ten Club has on the page for the box set in the Goods section you'll see that we were told this would happen.

I saw a post where someone compares this tax/duty charge to being raped... that's beyond silly... yeah, being charged an extra thirty bucks for a box of records is the same as rape...

Pretty sure we all know this. Obviously getting dinged for duties and taxes isn't the 10C fault. The complaints i believe are mostly towards the distribution plan. Us Canadians end up having to pay $40 for shipping, wait 4-6 weeks to receive our package, and then get dinged another $25-50 in duties/taxes. Surely there has to be a better way.

Blgarden

I do agree with the complaints about how long the wait was for us Canadians (or everybody... i think some States are still waiting...). I'm not as angry as some people about it but it does seem that the whole point of pre-ordering something well in advance should mean you get it on the release date...
I just thought it was odd that people now seem so upset about the tax/duty charge...

jgardz

You'd think Sony coulda handled Canada orders for cheaper, and maybe quicker too...I dunno, I think the costs were too high when coupled with the wait, but whatever, I've got it now so it's overwith.

Picked up my set at the post office...ended up getting dinged the $26.75. Not sure why some other Ontario residents are getting hit up for just under $50?

The set, of course, is beautiful.

Hmm I may be the only one. I'm gonna contact TC soon to see what my options are.

Got mine yesterday, also had to pay the $26.75 and they wouldn't accept credit card which was weird, just cash or cheque.

Still waiting here in the UK for mine...
