Vinyl Me Please (store, exclusives, swaps, etc)

Wtf is this. I am an international member so why am I paying for a record club to ship from USA when it seems they’re now on sale over here? What’s the story here?

Historically they pressed way more records than they could sell because, believe it or not, they used to be even worse at inventory (which seems fantastical...). They’ve been selling them off through a few alternative avenues outside their store in the US for roughly a year to eighteen months now. This is the first I’ve seen of them using a European seller to offload excess stock. It’s more expensive than direct from them at €40 plus shipping. The main sub direct is $36 (roughly €32) internationally and the add on $23 (roughly €20). So that’s not a reason to be too up in arms. The fact that they are a terribly run company staffed by terrible people is the reason to do that...

Given it seems you are literally one of like, five people who are excited for NERD, I'm cautiously optimistic they'll be able to secure a copy for you.

I need to catch up to the R&HH thread but is there a reason people aren’t too excited for this one? I’m not overly familiar with N.E.R.D other than seeing them at a festival last year, and I have listened to a few of their bigger songs but not this album.

You know what would have been a great NERD pick? The original version of In Search Of.. still not really a RHH pick but a much better one than this one.

I haven't listened to Fly or Die since it came out but I remember it being crushingly disappointing after In Search of.. which was fantastic. I prefer the original too but I quite like both versions.

It's not their best work.

Is that the album with the track, 'Bobby James'? Thats a fire song.

That is indeed the one. Although the 'first version' may just be the version you already know as the electronic version got released in Europe before they re-recorded it with Spymob and put it out over in the US (and all vinyl versions have been the one with Spymob so far)
 
@Murfocakes and @Joe Mac you might be able to help me with this one. So the 2 ROTM got through customs fine and I now have tracking for the others. 1 parcel has 2 black friday sale records in there with the total cost to me being 28USD (its Cecil Taylor and the Art Ensemble of Chicago) but after checking that Parcel App website it says the declared value is 72USD.....2.5 times the price I paid. Did the fees you got hit with relate to the number shown on the tracking or was it based on the price you paid? Im baffled where they got the 72USD from unless that was the original price of the 2 combined.

If I end up getting a 'custom fee to pay' slip which is calculated from the 72USD im not going to pay it and shoot CS a photocopy of them and ask what the hells going on.

My parcels haven’t arrived yet. But they have declared $100 which is enough to hit customs if the declaration is picked up. The limit is £20/€22 and if it goes above that the entire amount is subject to VAT + any customs charges + any postal company charges. Beyond VAT being 20% I don’t know what the other charges would be in the UK sorry!
