Not me. I have no idea by what means they're so expensively sending it next day.. but what I do know, and I deal with this at work every day, is that FedEx overnight a.m. delivery is $9.50. They could be sending it Airborne Express but that's $16.00 and it isn't next-day.

Shipping costs are probably the biggest rip-off out there. I understand that the word "handling" encompasses a lot but any reputable company should absorb those costs by taking in revenue on product sales. It's rediculous.

..That being said, I spent $6.99 to get it in about three days (which makes no sense either but hey.. I'm not going to wait weeks for this thing like normal NPGMC store orders took last year).

Moo.

if FedEx is costing you only $9.50, your company must be getting a humongous discount. Go to the FedEx website and do a calculation for a 1 pound package. $20.50 is the quote. Even the USPS charges like 10 or 12 for an overnight letter. More if it's not a letter package.

*Shrugs at the FedEx issue.

We're only sending loan documents, definitely not a pound.

I paid the standard too. But, everyone should realize that businesses make a lot of money off of people who are willing to pay a little more to be the first to have something. Like plasma tvs. They're down to $3000. I remember when they were $10,000. Someone had to buy it to bring the price down to where I'm willing to buy it.

This isn't music, this is just sh*t.

£11.40 wait for 6 months and it will be £1 on ebay, just like Xpectation no-one will listen to it twice.

Well heck, if I paid extra money to get it "next day" then I'd sure as shit be expecting it today, since it was supposed to be shipped yesterday. Let us know when y'all receieve yours.

hey, you don't have to buy it if u don't want. look at it this way...try getting NPS, Come, Chaos and Disorder, The Vault for as little as £11.40 - North and East are enough to convince me it's better than all those!

Are you kidding me?? $18.00.. I go with the cheapest shipping cause a few days different don't mean squat. Maybe some of ya-all could walk to MPLS and stand outside Paisley demanding the cd then when your told to get the hell outta there you could post something up here about your experience.
