Raven_Space Posted April 18, 2003 Report Share Posted April 18, 2003 Has anyone seen the new mailorder shipping prices from www.gdstore.com ? Now that The Dead have switched to do their merchandising through musictoday.com, it now apparently costs $6.99 instead of $4.00 to ship a Dicks Pick or View From The Vault DVD to Canada. I say apparently because I was charged $8.99 when I ordered my View IV on Wednesday. What the hell is that all about? I'm fucking pissed. The following is copied form their site, first price is for one item, second price is for additional items: INT'L (DHL ONLY 2-4 Wk. Canada Included) Per Shipment Per Item Music Only Orders (CD, Cass., DVD)* $6.99 $2.00 CDs, DVDs, Cassettes (when ordered with other non-music only products) $7.99 $3.24 Shirts, Polo Shirts $7.99 $4.44 Vinyl, Comics, Posters, Calendars, Songbooks $7.99 $4.73 Sweatshirts, Jackets, Jerseys, Heavy Shirts, Mugs, Glass Bottles $7.99 $9.63 Priority Items, Gold Records, Bicycles $7.99 $15.73 Hats $7.99 $3.24 CD/DVD/VHS combo packages $7.99 $4.75 Stickers, Patches $7.99 $0.00 I think we should get a letter of protest sent in from Canadian jam heads telling them how unfair it is to send stuff to us this way. I'd like to go back to US Postal Service rates and they said no can do. As if! Raven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyberHippie Posted April 18, 2003 Report Share Posted April 18, 2003 It seems like they all really want to screw us when sending stuff to Canada. SCI Ticketing has outragous shipping fees for tickets, and so does Bonnaroo for that matter... I know that it doesn't cost $12+ to mail something up here...

Douglas Posted April 18, 2003 Report Share Posted April 18, 2003 That's a duty-ful point you got there, but if you want to send a protest-letter or something, hit the source instead of the little guys.............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secondtube Posted April 19, 2003 Report Share Posted April 19, 2003 i believe you still add duty to that price...that is just for shipping... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted April 19, 2003 Report Share Posted April 19, 2003 (Sally's post was by me) Really ST? I may have jumped the gun then, and I can see why people would be pissed if that were the case. I think we need to get our crack investigative team on this one..............or just injest some. Time to talk to David Lemieux. Get on that one Hux.

Although duty should legally be paid on anything over a certain amount (plus a handling fee for the customs guy to look at it and determine what the duty is), I haven't had to pay duty on any Dick's Picks items in a long, long time (and I'm talking about when I was living in Canada, not over here). It seems to be up to the discretion of whoever is handling the mail... I had to pay duty on the first 8 or 9 volumes, but I haven't paid on the next 7 or 8 that I own. One time, the duty was $0.12, but there was a $5 handling fee for customs to determine what the duty was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
