Customs charges.....is it worth supporting 10C?
I know this keeps getting mentioned but didn't see a specific thread about it anywhere.
Having just received my Yield vinyl with £11 additional customs charge, and no doubt the same for No Code when it arrives, I was just wondering what keeps me buying from 10C?
I took a punt on these in the hopes of a variant and also because i'd rather buy direct from 10C, however incurring additional charges (plus delivery times) makes me seriously consider this in the future.
I appreciate that there are rules they have to adhere to with regards the customs declarations, etc but this never used to happen with goods bought from here. The only time up until recently was with the Ten Super Deluxe box, which I kind of understood given it's cost, etc......But then look at the TMR Vault release, they seemed to get it right without additional customs charges and the cost of that was more than your average LP!?!
I'd be interested to hear peoples thoughts on this and suggestions of how 10C could avoid this to keep us non-US residents buying direct from the band?

I feel the band gets paid either way. If I buy something from Amazon, An online record store, or even a local store, they still get their cut. I'm not screwing the band by ordering from a better alternative.
I ordered the Yield/No Code reissues and it's been a month since I got the email notifications. USPS would of done it in two weeks. I don't get why they keep using mail innovations?
However, IMO the delays in receipt are something I've got used to and generally accept, but getting stung with additional customs charges on top of having paid usually over the odds to get from ten club is starting to sting a little.
I guess now it's only the 10C exclusive stuff that I should be ordering from here.......but they've got me hooked with the vinyl following the random variant drops for LB and Sonic Symphony

I wish 10club could use USPS, like what Mike McCready's HockeyTalkter Record store uses, who ship by USPS with about the same cost, even cheaper, a vinyl to Canada with tracking in less then 2 weeks delivery.

I kicked my habit
After all it's about the music and I can get that here and support small business on home ground
One solution is for 10c to ship from Europe (which has been done in the past) or even better have a European store...
A european store is an option but they really dont need to do that, the cost would be significant which would have to be passed on to customers, and it works already from Seattle.
