    That's a REALLY good price for that now. Radiohead prices bumped in the last month or two, so expect retail prices to go up everywhere for that. SRP is around $37.99 for that, and $26.99 is just above our cost directly from the label. I think they might have made a mistake when they received...

    Weird that is popping up - it's been completely removed from distributor's websites. It's not even available for backorder. I just went and tried to order a bunch and can't even find it in catalog anywhere.

    Yeah, there's definitely a lot of logistics that go on behind that scenes that are pretty hard to understand. A few things come to mind: 1) I've ordered 3,500 copies of Mellon Collie since the last repressing, but my current open backorders for it are only 700 copies. It's incredibly hard for...

    Our Smashing Pumpkins restock may have fallen through, fyi! Even though I pre-paid 😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐. We'll have a small amount of Mellon Collie, still waiting to hear how many. Sorry to let some folks down. I'll be sure to limit the stock we do have to 1 per customer to try to spread around. I had...

    That's great to hear! You're one of the lucky ones. When things go smooth with USPS, it's great. The transit times I mentioned right before that were for international shipments. Most domestic shipments with USPS still make it with a pretty reasonable transit time. It's just - when they mess up...

    "Plaid Room" actually doesn't ship to the UK, unless it's some of the used 45s on the website. "Colemine" ships internationally. The difference is, with Colemine we control almost all of the products so we can export as we choose. But with Plaid Room, we're stocking boatloads of major label...

    Definitely appreciate the perspective on this, and I can certainly relate to a lot of these issues. I guess at the end of the day for us, UPS has fucked up about 8 packages this year, and USPS has fucked up over 250. The other difference is that UPS comes with insurance up to $100...

    Really? I'd be interested to hear your experience with them. Honestly, 95% of our business is domestic, as there's export restrictions on most major label stuff. But, we do a handful of international and we've moved to UPS with most of it for the same things that are happening domestically. I...

    We're probably going to have to bump to $60 or $70 by the time the year is over. The free shipping is great but we also need to incentivize folks to use UPS where possible. Our local USPS is just too unreliable. They lost around 150 packages of ours in mid-March, some having over $500 worth of...

    Lol - we thought the same thing. We're going to spend between $400k-500k this year on USPS postage. The more we grow, the more that post office has grown to loathe us. They're at the point now where they'll only pick up once a day. They say they'll pick up at 3 p.m., but it's usually around...

    Our copies haven't shipped yet, we had to pre-pay due to the size of the order (struggles of maintaining your own inventory versus drop-shipping). Waiting for the check to deliver. I Priority Mail expressed it, but at this point I'm pretty sure our local post office adds 3 days to every one of...

    I believe Pop Market is similar to Deep Discount, where they may or may not be owned by AEC. I think they're both drop shipping product from AEC in KY. You may run into similar issues with Pop Market because it's the same fulfiller on the back end of their sites. But I haven't gone through the...

    That's an amazing price even without the 10% off.

    Folks looking for Mellon Collie or Siamese Dream should sign up for back-in-stock emails anywhere and everywhere. Repress incoming very soon. My guess is they'll both sell out again and the insane prices will continue. Or who knows, maybe they pressed a bunch and prices will go back to normal?

    Colemine's site doesn't have a free shipping mark, but Plaid Room (same ownership) does ship free on our site over $50. So this doesn't quite make it there - but we always recommend folks choose local pickup and combine with a future order to save on shipping.

    500 more on order - hopefully more showing soon? We never know with this stuff unfortunately.
