Shipping Cost on Vinyl

[thedisavowed]

Kind of a mundane post - but for those of you Americans who ship records from Europe (in this case France) do you find that 15 euro is a lot for shipping a single 12"? I just want to confirm I'm not getting taken for a ride.

I've been in Spotify land for so long that I've forgotten the details of things like this. I appreciate your insight/opinions.

from my personal experience with discogs, shipping from Europe to the US is around 9 euro for a record. 15 seems a little high

i think the US charges to Europe are much much higher. we won't even talk about the Stars of the Lid repress rates :/
also notice with ebay sellers that try to charge you priority then ship flat rate which can also be tracked but only up to the time it leaves the US. You can always tell by the track number, if it starts with 'C' its priority, 'L' is flat. So watch that and complain, they're trying to fleece you. Its over $30 priority for 2x12"s, about $18 for flat
