Shipping a single cd to Europe now costs 6 pounds??

Do they want to loose costumers or what?

Royal Mail put their prices up at the start of the month, small itms overseas were hit particularly hard, I haven't posted any CDs to Europe since, but it's probably what it now costs, combine your orders and you should save some money.

I just checked and we now charge £4 to Europe, I think PS use an outside company so have to pay for a person's time to pick and pack the items, we don't build that in.

On honestjons.com the price of the cd is one pound higher than pressure sounds, but shipping (to NL) is only 1.10 pounds so in total 3.90 cheaper.

I suspect Honest Jon's will be increasing their shipping prices very soon as they are losing money on every order.

Unfortunately Royal Mail have redsigned their site to make it harder to use, but you can find out what it costs to ship a small packet here:

The £4.00 shipping to Europe also includes shipping within the UK. I live about 10 miles from the industrial site where Pressure Sounds are located and I got hit with a £4.00 Shipping fee on the "Zion Hill Dub" which I ordered this weekend gone

we had some significant postal rate increases here in the US as well, it hits hard for sure

RM is expenive ans sloooow as a snail.
LP from London to Berlin takes 10-14 days.

LP from Berlin to Tokyo/Rio/N.Y,... (via DHL) is 3-4 days! Even cheaper!

That's not been my experience when I've sent LPs to Germany. 4-6 weekdays seems quite common for things to arrive safely with my buyers...

possible but unusual
