The actual true issue here is that EF are not allowing buyers to select different shipping options. Most website these days allow buys to; collect from store, have extress shipping or standard etc.

.

EF are using a sledge hammer to break a nut... they do not need to use a really expensive service like UPS to send a cheap item like a CD. I regularly buy CDs from the USA and I never pay more than $5 or $6 dollars. The CD may take 2 weeks to arrive, but there is no rush. I have HNR2 digital so I don't mind waiting a few weeks before the CD arrives. After all, before we know it the HNR series will be 5 years old and a thing of the past, so waiting two weeks to get a CD delivered for $5 is perfectly fine and FIT-FOR-PURPOSE!!!

.

From whom are you buying CDs in the U.S.? UPS charges even more for shipping than USPS. I don't know what cheaper shipping options you mean. DHL and FedEx also charge more. USPS has the cheapest shipping rates available.

.

Sorry, as I appreciate this issue is so boring but to clarify, if anyone uses a shipping company such as DHL, UPS or FedEx, then, yes, the charges are hugh!

.

HOWEVER, there are other services, such as the normal postal service - this can take two weeks but to arrive it is only $5 or $6.

.

My point is that stores need to provide different shipping options and not to just provide an over inflated option that is disproportonate to the value of the item being shipped!

I'm trying to order from Electric Fetus for shipping to the UK but the site won't let me submit my shipping address, it's getting frustrating, this is the last step before I pay and I can't get any further. Can anybody here help me? Am I going wrong somewhere?

It worked for me , am in the uk i payed via paypal. You have probably ticked the Europe, USPS? right , if not that maybe why it ain't working for you.

USPS is "normal postal service" in the states. Twice I posted the link to its site showing international shipping is $13.

I don't know if someone already posted this, but there is another online store that sells the HitnRun phase 2 CD. And they ship it at "normal" prices.

http://funk4u.myshopify.com/

They ship the CD to Belgium for 19,30 $. That's for the CD and the shipping !!

FINALLY!!!!! Someone with common sense! Hallelujah!!!

.

At last FOUR shipping options for people to CHOOSE the shipping method that best works for them!

.

It's a shame many links on the website don't work.

.

They now need to do some marketing!

I don't know how they can ship so cheaply because I sell CDs on ebay all the time and the post office always charges me over $10 for first class mail international overseas.

You've partly answered your own question - why send it first class, it doesn't need to be.

.

Excessive packaging and sending a packet as a parcel will also skew the cost.

.

Whenever I pay postage for a CD within Europe it is always cira 5 to 6 euros which at the moment is roughly $5 or $5.5 dollars.

.

For EF to just use UPS (or whatever) is just a mindless lack of intelligence and a waste of everyone's money. Whether that is a direct cost or not is irrelevant. The point is they are not giving customers options to choose.

Why did the idiot that designed this not include a web address? They obviously think people in that local town will know this store and will want to purchase the CD. It's a fact in marketing that print media is shared among hundreds of people - just think how many times you have looked at shared print media in a waiting room or on public transport.

.

i do wonder why some poeple do the jobs they do!!!

But there is no cheaper shipping method than first class. You can go to the postal service link I posted earlier and see for yourself.

edit: And looking at Funk4U's shipping method choices, first class mail international is the cheapest shipping option they offer too.

Thanks!!! Now those are normal shipping prices!!! Order Placed.

There must be a conspiracy in the USA to rip people off when it comes to shipping costs.

.

For example, anyone in the USA can go to www.fredperry.us and buy a t-shirt and have it delivered for FREE within 7 days. That is a great way to do business! (You can also pay for express).

.

In Europe there are numerous shipping options, from free to express to PUDO (pick up / drop off services).

.

I don't see why the USA hasn't applied any intelligence to how people shop online - but I suppose Europe has always been far more advanced.

That's disgraceful. Why are they not offering free courier pigeon delivery, like every other self-respecting European retail outlet?

Click on the type of shipping needed & It should allow you to put in your particulars after

I did that, but for whatever reason I couldn't get any further than that. After I messaged them I could then add an address but the site still wouldn't fulfill the order because it said my address was incomplete, but there was nothing else I could put in there.

Doesn't Eletric Fetus take phone orders?

I don't know about that. It might cost me a lot if I'm calling from the UK. I managed to order a copy easily from funk4u just now. It's a shame that I couldn't complete order with Electric Fetus, I've been trying repeatedly all day. [Edited 2/5/16 14:33pm]

Glad you found an alternative way to order.

Because it is an ad in the Minneapolis Star/Tribune paper.

A local paper. (to those living there)

So the street address is perfectly usable to go there and get the CD.

Amoeba Records in Los Angeles has the CD in store, priced at $16.98. Lot's of copies.

I`m suprised Madhouse Music in the UK have not got the cd for sale

I am wondering also what effect filesharing is having on potential sales. there have been several hundred takedown actions for sites, presumably, for some sort of infringements.
