Cheapest I've seen the single sell for in the USA is that $6.99 price. While in Canada they went for $11.99. Any record store in North America sell them for much cheaper then that price?
That Aus dollars D so probably about what it would cost me with shipping from the US.... That store is my closest so may have to bite the bullet & grab it from there.

It's still high. Here in Canada it was $11.99 CDN which is $11.80 Australian. You shouldn't be paying more then double even if it's right down the street. You'll find it cheaper in time.
I've got a spare copy (purchased in the UK) as I was on holiday and asked two friends to try to get a copy for me, and they were both successful. If anyone has anything to trade for it, please let me know

Ditto. I couldn't find it in NZ and if I did it would probably cost $30-$40! I bought it from US for $7.99. Just don't ask about the shipping cost!

I'm not gonna ask about the shipping cost, yet, but I'm going to tell everyone what happened to me, no big deal, just something I want to share. The thing is I'm a Placebo fan, not as much as PJ, but fan anyway, and I bought stuff from them, not as much, but anyway, at the beginning of April I bought Jesus' Son 7", the price at the official site was 5 quids, plus 2.50 for shipping, you do the math for your own currency, however at the moment of checking out the shipping went to 5.50 pounds because I live in Buenos Aires, and shit is sent from London. I paid with PayPal, and after the convertion fee the total was 13.67 USD, so, the question is, how come shipping and handling costs half or almost a third when it comes from UK. I haven't done the math, but 5 quids are not 12 bucks, you may charge whatever you want for an item, 12 bucks for SOLAT single? OK, seems fair, I'm on board, take my money, S&H is 12 as well? fine, but how come someone else on the other side of the pond can do cheaper and even faster sometimes? Can someone answer that? By the way, whenever I get stuff from ebay or discogs, first I check UK, Dutch and German sellers, cheaper prices on stuff, way cheaper prices on shipping and handling than anybody in the world...
There's only one thing remaining, yo, bazzer, how much did you pay for shipping?

I can answer that:
Royal Mail isn't USPS or UPS
I've experienced the same thing for a while now. Shipping rates from the US to Canada have really increased. I went to the USPS website and priced out a record sized package weighing a pound and it was 18 bucks. 10 years ago it might of been 10-12. It's really gone up. I used to order from soundstagedirect.com a lot, before the postage increases made it economically difficult.
Before the Canadian Dollar tanked I was ordering alot of my vinyl from amazon.co.uk (I still do from time to time). The shipping rates are so much cheaper. Presumably because Royal Mail charges less for international shipping. I'm not sure how Royal Mail charges less, but the shipping rates are crazy cheap compared to the US.
That and the customs is way faster when it's not coming from the US. If order from the UK I often get stuff in a week, whereas from the US it's two weeks (assuming USPS. UPS Mail Innovations takes a month more.. lol).
I definitely import more from the UK/Europe now than I do from the US
If anyone has 1 (or 2) spare copies, please let me know?? Searching for myself & a friend....

Bro you were at the brisbane show in 95?! that's freaking awesome! You still remember that show?
Hell yeah - it's been a few years but I still remember popping my PJ cherry Slept outside the ticket office after seeing REM Monster tour to buy tix & got egged by some punk teenagers.... Bribed a security guard with $20 to let 4 of us into the moshpit before the crowd started passing the seats back on the 2nd night - good times!!!
Also had a nude McCready & Dave Grohl special appearance as well as 2 amazing shows... Just wish I'd bought a few zebras at the original price - pretty sure they were selling for $5

Not trying to be a downer, but is it possible the copies in stores on RSD was the "First" release and the Ten Club allotment was the "Future" release and that's it?
