bollemanneke 3,334 Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 A few days ago I was considering to buy a few of their items, but then I discovered about the shipping costs. How can they possibly justify charging $15 for shipping to Europe? I mean, really... I'd be happy to support them, but not with these kind of prices.

Incanus 5,713 Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 The shipping costs have gone through the roof in the last few years and none of the specialty labels can offer cheaper shipping for international orders. Still I usually bite the bullet and buy directly from them to show my support. And you rarely if ever get better deal by ordering from European online retailers who import these releases from US. Unless you happen to be living closer to them that is but e.g. ordering via a German online soundtrack store would be as expensive as if I ordered from US as their base price for these releases is higher than the US price.

bollemanneke 3,334 Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 So why are those prices so high? Why is it, say, cheaper for me to buy a new DVD from the US and not one of their CDs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

International shipping rates increased drastically in recent times. Here are some threads discussing it http://www.filmscoremonthly.com/board/posts.cfm?threadID=94225&forumID=1&archive=0 http://www.filmscoremonthly.com/board/posts.cfm?threadID=113495&forumID=1&archive=0 Oviously, huge corporations like Amazon or whatever can cut deals to have lower rates, but all the specialty labels have had to increase their shipping rates. Despite the price, its very worthwhile to buy directly from the labels whenever you can, as that directly gives them income to fund future releases. bollemanneke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if you buy from a third party like Music Box, Amazon, Movie Music, or SAE, do they have some kind of bulk deal with the labels where they pay less than we would, which gives the labels less money per unit?

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Of course. Thats how these third party vendors can sell these sets for the same price as the labels do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes - there's the wholesale price and the retail price. I believe Varese does NOT offer a wholesale price on their limited releases - which is why it usually costs a few bucks more to get a Varese Club release from SAE vs. Varese's own website.

mstrox 6,637 Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 I still have a backlog of LLL releases I want, and it took me a few months to even scrounge up the cash for Jurassic Park, so I'm happy to get a break from release "needs" for a while. Daycare and mortgage bills have not been kind. LLL's output has been a little slow this year, probably by design. They know what they'll get burned on. It seems like they're pulling more focus onto guaranteed sellers. At the expense of some of our oddball holy grails, yes, but it's their business I guess. bollemanneke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
