Jake Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 Don't worry about the timing, the records will arrive much sooner than that.
metal beat Posted August 26, 2014 Author Posted August 26, 2014 (edited) So I just had a look at my pre-order on Amazon Canada and clicked on change delivery speed just to see what the other options are. It now says this for Standard International Shipping (averages 30-40 weeks) ??? Are they having a laugh? that is ridiculous. They are pretty much forcing people to change their shipping, just so they can get more money, even though we preordered at the lower shipping price. Even for, Expedited International Shipping (averages 7-14 weeks), that is pretty damn slow. Anybody know what local sellers are going to stock this? At the moment Universal music are telling one particular music store that retail price will be around $570. That is more than the heavier Stereo box!! Since Universal took over EMI locally, they have no clue. I have sent screen shots of my amazon and ca prices and a large argument will happen with Universal music locally and the store. If they don't get anywhere with Universal Australia, they will cancel all their Beatle box set.. bit of a pity really. Shop said, don't cancel you amazon orders as Universal music Australia are screwing them in the butt. Uncklemack - what is Universal telling JB hifi? Edited August 26, 2014 by metal beat

M Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk That sounds like the response from a company that is useless and consistent with what my local store told me - Universal, not JB Mack. these boxes are all ready made. Universal Australia should have already have their order either in transit or sitting in the warehouse - sounds like neither
markus46 Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 (edited) Would be interesting to hear from some SNA members who are old enough to remember when the Beatles were releasing mono first, then the stereo versions. The first record I ever owned was Beatles For Sale. It was a birthday present from my Auntie. I was 6 years old. Played it on the family radiogram until it wore out. I don't have it now, but I'm pretty sure it was mono... Edited August 28, 2014 by markus46
Dolphy Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 Red Eye Records Sydney will have the box set for $500
betocool Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 500$ sounds like a fair enough price to me, considering the amount of records. I bought the stereo release in Germany for 399 Euros about a year ago, that comes close to 600$, and I remember the Mono CD version to be a few euro more expensive than the stereo CD set, if that's anything to go by. Especially if you can just go to the shop, pick up the box, take it home, and not mucking about when it's coming and how the bloke at the cargo area will treat the box.... or the Post for that matter (for some weird reason, some of the stuff I received from family in Europe arrived wet!)
Dolphy Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 JB might have them at $560.00 https://www.jbhifi.com.au/music/Whats-Hot/rock-pop/beatles-in-mono-the-mono-vinyl-box-set/616258/
medicine_shoes Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 (edited) Wow, that price is ridiculous, works out at 50 per record. Edited August 28, 2014 by medicine_shoes
unclemack Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 I confirmed today that the price at JB is indeed $560. This is unfortunate but is due to the cost from the local distributor which, I am led to believe, can be higher or lower than if the same item was sourced from an OS distro. As my media manager told me, JB choose support and use local distro which can mean prices at odds with OS/Online pricing. So there you go. M

arthur63 Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 Quality Records online price is $495 plus $7 local postage.
kneekon Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 (edited) Quality Records online price is $495 plus $7 local postage. That's a good price for a local seller compared to the US Amazon delivered price. Edited September 3, 2014 by kneekon
arthur63 Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 Also, if there are any issues it will be easier to have a local seller sort out the problem.
cheekyboy Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 Also, if there are any issues it will be easier to have a local seller sort out the problem. Hi Arthur, if you're looking for a local seller, pricing for StereoNET members you can find here through Vinyl Eye. Cheers, Keith 1
