This is great. Thanks 10C, Santos and crew. As NW guy and fan of Easy Street, this is a no-brainer for me. I'm a little curious as to whether this is a short run, but regardless, glad to have it.

$11 to ship a single record domestically.  LOL.  I'm still getting it but that is absurd.

Yep, I know it's peanuts compared to the international shipping costs, but it did make me pause for a minute and go listen to the album on Youtube to make sure I really wanted to pay that shipping fee

$11 to package and ship a record seems pretty reasonable to me.  It's not a letter after all

Well, just about every other company I buy records from can do it much cheaper. I think that's the point. They've never been able to figure out shipping, or they are using it as a 10c revenue generator. Either way, it is overpriced.

Their shipping fees always vex me. More than a third of the cost of the product for standard shipping is whacky. And you can't add things to shipments for a lot of products in order to feel better about the shipping price. 

                            


No one made me buy it.....

I bought Hilltop Hoods new album back in March.  Shipping was under $6 and it arrived in 4 days...  from Australia.

It’s gotta be a revenue generator. Shipping a record via Media Mail is less than $5. Their packaging is bought in bulk for pennies on the dollar.  I dunno what they pay on a corporate rate for UPS Smartpost but it can be done cheaper and usually is by any other online shop selling vinyl.

I probably order a hundred albums a year and rarely if ever pay over $5 for shipping. Actual shipping costs for this via Media Mail anywhere in the US is around $4 max. But 10c does seem to package the records very securely at least which can't be said for eveyone.

Philip_Ireland

About ten of them on Ebay already - one for $400!!!

Forgot it was the 10th. Wow. Still available after an hour. Well done on stock SLH.

helplessdancer

a very cool looking record but this purchase doesn't fit my exit program of reducing what i have already.

pearljammr78

I have emailed them and asked why they don’t use the post office to ship since it’s way cheaper and the response was “they have their shipping partner but thanks for the inquiry” UPS did a great job with the mystery boxes so I can see why.

You guy's have it made in the USA. $4 bucks to ship a vinyl anywhere's across the USA? Here in Canada it'll cost me at least $15 bucks CDN to ship a single 12" vinyl from one coast to the other coast via Canada Post. You don't want to know how much more UPS & Fedex wants if I want to ship inside Canada.

They definitely give us value in the "handling" part of shipping & handling. Can't argue that.

Would it make you feel better if the album cost $35 and shipping was $6?

Oh. And thank you for making this available to members!! I forgot about RSD (well, I remembered at noon which is in effect forgetting), and wanted to grab one.

They aren't a non-profit.  I don't mind paying someone $5 to package and slap a label on my purchase.  I just paid $8 to mail a bunch of papers 50 miles away from me.
