I Am Very Far Deluxe Edition - really, $43 to ship to UK?

Postby Liarliar on Mon Mar 28, 2011 4:11 pm

Had it in the "cart", already with card, filled in form, address and all that...

...then, $43.30 to ship to UK. NO, THANK YOU!

I appreciate that it is a wooden box and all, but costs more than half the value to send it? Doesn't sound quite right.
Purchased a GPS from USA once, big box, and cost $10.

I know the box would be heavier but that seems far too much.

Agreed. The label has a small presence in the UK don't they? Don't know his name but I thought the guy who was manning the merch table at St Pancras last night is label side. Maybe they can sort out a batch being shipped over here for European distribution.

The box-set looks amazing but is out of my budget. I had been hoping for another 2 CD version.

$15.45 to ship to NH. I'm cool with it though. Just put my order in. Now the question is if I can make it to the Boston Show on 6/8. I have a baby due 6/1. Might not happen :(

I'm still torn on buying either the deluxe box set or getting just the cd and the 40 page hardcover booklet

It's only $3.35 more to ship to Australia! I can do without the doo-dads. I just want the album.

(I still get excited by the idea that you can buy a CD for $11 from the US - $17 including shipping - instead of paying the usual $25-30 we pay here. Bargain.)

Looks like normal CD purchase from Amazon, then...disappointed, really.

Yeah, I sadly can't afford that $75+ even if shipping were free. I just can't decide which to pre-order, the CD or LP...

I just ordered the CD and the lyric book. It was a tough decision.

Question: Have you other pre-orders gotten the link for the lyric book "immediate gratification"? I never even got an order confirmation. Not panicking, but I'm wondering when the downloadable content will be available -- if it's not already. Or if I need to go fetch it somewhere with an order number or something...

False alarm, y'all. The order confirmation came sometime this morning to my home email addy. All's well.

I want the Deluxe Edition but there's no way I can afford it. Money's tight at the moment. shit, I can't even afford to preorder it right now. Student loans are a drag.

Received my deluxe edition today. Very cool. I did notice that even though the box has "fragile" printed on it in red letters a couple places it was still delivered banged up. Luckily no damage to the box or its contents though.

Anyone know how the digital download might go? I pre-ordered the 2xLP but it won't be coming to this address. Think it's in the box or will be in an email?

sadistikal, and anyone else who bought the deluxe, did yours include the 17x22 poster? My box seems to be bereft of it.

You should send Jagjagwuar a message. I'm sure they'll send you a poster free of charge.
