blackcalx Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 It was with frothing excitement that I discovered that The Tea Party, one of my very favorite bands, was releasing a new album. It was with shattered dissapointment that I noticed Amazon wanted over $30 US for the import. Is there any possibility of asking one of our Canadian members to purchase it for me, ship it, and be reimbursed all costs? I'm under the assumption, of course, that after conversion the price wouldn't be much more than I would pay domestically for a standard release. Would any of you be willing to do some research? I must have this album, but not at $32.00 plus shipping. Please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan FB Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 Looks like amazon.ca has it for $12.99 CDN ($9.93 US), and they ship to the US. :green: I used to order DVD's from amazon.ca all the time when the US dollar was stronger, got Band of Brothers for around $50 shipped that way. Keep in mind your credit card company might have like a 1-3% currency conversion surcharge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whooter Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 Shawn, I'm pretty sure you can just order it from Amazon.ca. $12.99 CAD plus shipping. Edit: Doh! Ryan beat me to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackcalx Posted August 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 Not something I would have thought about. Excellent advice gentlemen. I'll rush right over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Monkey Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 Sean, did you download the free double-disc live CD from their website? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sure did, thanks to your link awhile back. I've listened to it extensively while at work and enjoyed it every time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam P Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 Shawn, if you run into any hiccups, know that I'll be more than happy to ship it to you the old fashioned way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackcalx Posted August 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 I appreciate that, Sam. I'm going to put the purchase off for a couple of weeks. The reason is that I decided to preorder the new Bjork and get a book for my wife so that the price met the free shipping mark. Who knows...I might get bored enough at work tomorrow to order it anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orpheus Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 Good luck with the new Bjork. It's an interesting listen, but after 3 spins I'm still up in the air about it. It's very creative, but I don't find many of teh textures that pleasing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
