    I believe this is the first time I have not bought from the 10C due to their shipping prices.  Ridiculous the profiting they are doing on S&H

    No issues with buying through the 10C, I was pleasantly surprised lol. Shipping was more than I expected, but I'm happy to have a copy!
    I am just a dreamer, but you are just a dream...
    If I knew where it was I would take you there.

    $11.45 to ship a $17.99  record, must be wrapped in gold. $6 to ship a cassett? Are these trying to make a prof
    it on shipping?
    Of course - they are a business.  
    Not sure why shipping would be expected to be a pass through.
    Of course, one could take exception with the margin they might be looking to make on shipping.....

    Half the cost on shipping from Newbury Comics. $6 shipping on the vinyl

    I ordered at 10am quickly because I assumed these were going to go fast. As everyone is saying, the shipping is really expensive! I wonder if the weight of these is wrong in their system (@Santos L. Halper) . Subtotal of the 2 items: $28 - Shipping: $30 (to Canada)

    Of course, they are a business and entitled to profit. But unless there is a reasonable explanation, this could be seen as gouging their biggest fans. I would generally prefer to order from 10C and I had an order in my cart here. It was $29.44. I went to EBay and at the exact same time paid $19.99 all in for the same item. That doesn’t make sense.

    i'm guessing the cheaper shipping places are using media mail and have less workers to keep on etc?

    Wonder if the high shipping cost was an error.

    No. I'm sure they aren't. It costs money to run a business with responsibly paid employees. 10c shipping is always high compared to other retail outlets. I was not surprised by the cost. 

    I was glad to get it from the comfort of my home and skip the world of retail.

    Surprisingly they are both still available in the shop nearly an hour after they were first available. I wonder if the shipping cost plus the sheer number available online is why. Who knows? I couldn’t go to my local shop but I had a friend who went and he picked us both a copy of the vinyl. I have no need for a cassette. I haven’t had a way to play one in years.

    Shipping a bit high, but I justified for the convenience of not having to drive to a crowded store or wait in line. Maybe Ten Club throws in a sticker or two as well…

    People know there are different costs based on how you ship something right?   There are cheaper ways to ship things but there also is better chance those items could take longer or get beat to shit in transit.  Also, shipping doesn’t just cover postage.

    but I guess since it is still available we have to find something to complain about.

    I ordered from both 10C and Newbury. And I guarantee the Newbury copy will arrive sooner using media mail vs Innovations.

    If anyone has an extra copy of the EU version, I would gladly trade. Or if anyone knows of EU stores online with copies left, I would be very appreciative.

    I'll see what I can find. Banquet sold out so fast. Was able to get one from Resident Music.

    £27.99 for this 12" single in the UK.
    What an absolute joke. I know why I stopped bothering with RSD years ago now.
    BTW, you can buy an original pressing of this for under £20 online
     I paid 3 quid for it, poster bag, and 5 for shipping to Argentina back in 2011, now the brand new is 28? Nonsense.  It's up here for 17.99, I ain't buying, haven't seen the tape yet, and depending if it's available in any store in Buenos Aires during the next day I might buy it depending on the price which I assume it will be more than the equivalent of 28 GBP! 
    ... I am not in the business of being liked anymore ...
