    TMR might do something similar to the lightning bolt blunderbuss for this with it only being available through the RRS or for Vault members.

    That's what I'm thinking/hoping and why I ordered through my membership... Not that it makes a lick of difference audio wise, but hey, I'm a sucker for colors.

    I cant justify paying an additional $34.50 postage to the UK so will buy it somewhere else. I emailed TMR about their postage and this is the reply I got:
    "Thanks for reaching out! Our shipping prices are calculated through the shipping carrier using 1)weight and 2)destination. Third Man is has no control over the cost as they are determined by the USPS or FEDEx. Unfortunately shipping costs keep rising every year throughout the year, and as a small independent business there is not much we can do to combat the high prices."
    Basically they just believe what a computer screen says whether its correct or not. If I pay $34.50 postage who is keeping that extra money when it is less than $20 to post a 2LP?

    If you order from Amazon Canada, do you still have that type of shipping?

    So you feel that Amazon has some guy double-check with a calculator and a tape measure to verify that your shipping costs haven't been over- or under-stated? "Believing what a computer screen says" is not akin to believing in God; it's trusting logic which has been designed and honed over time.

    I payed a little more for the usps first class international.
    They wanted just under $25 usd to ship one record!
    Still better than Fedex where they send you an additional bill after delivery.

    I mentioned nothing about Amazon so their pricing method has nothing to do with it. I'm saying mistakes happen all the time and I believe there is a mistake in either TMR or the postal company system. I had the PJ live at TMR poster in my cart and they wanted an additional $54.75 to ship a poster to the UK. It does not cost this, I can assure you. My point was that they won't even consider there is something wrong.

    I had a similar issue with Bong Load Records last week, their postage price dropped $6 in the space of a few days. i emailed asking why I had paid more and they explained that there was a mistake with the weight of the item and refunded me what they overcharged.

    I don't find Amazon.com or Canada being particularly accurate. They are always much cheaper because they are a huge company. Amoeba on the other hand are an independent retailer and they charge $17.99 to the UK so TMRs $34.50 is way off.

    Yeah, it's like TMR is using 10C shipping or something.
