How'd everyone's De-loused shipping go?/Shopradiocast discussion.

I recently received my copy of De-loused in the Comatorium from shopradiocast using the $10.01 USPS Priority Mail. Came out to about $50. It arrived in great packaging, only VERY minor corner pressure marks. I'm curious what everyone on here that ordered it chose for their shipping method? I wanna pre-order Amputechture and the inevitable Francis the Mute reissue but if I can get the same quality/timing shipping experience then I'd love to bring the price down from that $10. Can anyone help me out?

Still waiting on the silver copy from SRC, but my gold copy from Sound stage direct arrived a few days ago. Sound stage direct has some of the most intense vinyl packaging of any online store, and it was fully warranted this time. The package was beat up, lots of bends and creases, corners all banged up. Thanks to SSD's packaging the only damage was split seams on the inner paper sleeves.

Not sure what youre asking exactly though, how are any of us gonna get you cheaper shipping?

Couldn't tell you because I added Amputechture to my order so I've gotta wait until it ships to get it. Also I am an international customer (Canada) so the shipping cost isn't the best to begin with. However they keep putting good albums on clearence and I add them to my order to offset the shipping.

In terms of their packagaing, I ordered 10 at a time from them half a year ago and there was no issue. All LP removed from the sleeve where possible and arrived in great condition.

I'm not sure what the cheapest shipping method is for USA customers, but I would feel confident using it if there was no rush on receiving the actual record.

I remember having the conversation with you last week about SRC shipping :).

I received my gold colored version of De-Loused today from the UK. Double wrapped in bubble wrap in a sturdy box, the package was mint as was everything inside. Honestly I'm surprised it arrived already, 7 days from London to Winnipeg for standard mail through Royal Mail (UK) and Canada Post is kind of impressive.

I think personally these reissues are priced absurdly, but then again I've been buying them, so I'm not exactly voting with my wallet there.

My silver copy from SRC should arrive today or tomorrow. I've always gone with the cheapest shipping with them and I've never had any problems.

I picked whatever the cheapest option was and I got mine earlier this week on Monday. It was packaged very nicely and was unharmed.

I got this delivered yesterday and they boxed it extremely well, but unfortunately my post office still ruined it. It was bent in half all the way though. All the records are warped and there's a crease on the bottom half of the cover. I called them immediately and they are sending a replacement next week. Although this was sound stage direct.
