Jay 37,355 Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 LLL will also begin shipping on Tuesday right at 12:00pm PST; The other distributors can't begin shipping until their copies arrive from LLL. crumbs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Question. Will moviemusic.com carry this title? And if so any idea what the shipping costs will be? I found this: International Rates: Rates begin at $10 per order with one CD. For orders with 2 to 8 CDs, the rate is $20. For orders with 9 to 12 CDs, the rate is $35. For orders with 13 to 17 CDs, the rate is $55. For orders with 18 or more CDs, the rate is $65. Delivery time for Standard Air Mail is anywhere from 1 to 5 weeks.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 For us Europeans it used to be much cheaper. Not only were the shipping costs far lower, the exchange rate was also in out favour. Now there's a 5 cent difference between the USD and the EUR. It all adds up.

Jay 37,355 Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 It's possible Universal could release this presentation to iTunes, Amazon mp3, Google Play, HD Tracks, Spotify, etc at some point in the future.

Gurkensalat 340 Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 oh what the hell, I just preordered via Musicbox. 75 Euro without customs risk is fine by me here in Germany. I don´t mind one or two weeks additional delay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,355 Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Yes, I would imagine that the customs issue is best avoided by ordering from a European retailer such as Music Box.

I know you'll have to wait, but if anything goes awry, Peter will make it right. Being a California citizen, I usually try to order from there to save on 9% CA sales tax, since LLL and Intrada and Varese are ALL CA-based and have to impose that on their purchases for me. I forget where MovieMusic is based, but it's not CA. The only times I don't order from there are if one of the labels offers signed copies of something MovieMusic obviously won't have, or if I simply can't wait. So, for this, I am ordering directly from LLL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pieter Boelen 740 Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 I don't suppose high shipping rates actually serve to support La-La Land themselves, do they? So better to find the lowest rate and then send a donation directly to them! Is that even possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,355 Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 La La Land - like all the specialty labels - make more money from your purchase if you buy directly from them as opposed to a third party retailer. The reason is simple - say a CD costs $20. If you buy direct from LLL, LLL gets $20. However, if you buy from SAE, well they sold that CD to SAE for a lower amount (say $16), so that means when you give SAE $20, $4 goes to SAE as profit and only $16 goes to LLL. Beyond that, what little profit (if any) is built into shipping costs (at any retailer) would go to LLL if you buy direct from LLL. They get nothing other than the $16 otherwise. So that's why i always buy directly from the labels whenever I can. Will and Pieter Boelen 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
