there is no other way to state it, warp mart is WAY TOO EXPENSIVE i orderer a 2lp, and a 7inch from them - with postage came out to be $40. USD !!! it doesnt help that the US dollar isn't worth a damn anymore, BUT the issue could be easily resolved i would figure that if you order from a label their stuff should be a little cheaper if they have cut out the middle man - yet i can order the same 2LP here for nearly 7 less, plus cheaper shipping also - there is no perk to ordering from them - no promo's, no stickers, they did send me a sticker once, ONCE, out of god knows how many orders i made when the dollar was worth more to the pound this has in turn made me stop, completely, from ordering from them - there is NO perk - shipping is too much - and whats the worst part? they overprice the records that are on THERE LABEL!!! even compare it to boomkat. - warp mart is normally 1 to 2 pounds more expensive...for no reason LAME ! ! ! |

"i can order the same 2LP here for nearly 7 less, plus cheaper shipping" Why didn't you do that, then? |

misspelled there should be their ho hum i was trying to get the squarepusher promo cd so i chanced it - that was the ONLY reason - now i'll never order from them again |
||||||||
|

|
|
katz? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the whole point is i would assume a label would like to be fair and get it's music out as much as possible, not be such fucking rock stars |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
how much does a 2 x 12" cost there? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
also makes me feel a lot less bad when people make love to mp3's i hope that hurts profits too, sucks being a collector sometimes |
||||||||

|
you have a fairr point, euphonicfilter, a fairr point. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think you're overreacting; it's mostly because of the state of the dollar at the moment. They are doing 'bleep' so you can't really say they are being unfair or trying to be rock stars. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well it varies - esp with european things japanese discs are always WAY too expensive ($25-$35) most recent warp stuff on 2LP is around $16-$19 (depending of course upon where you buy it) singles are pretty steady at $10 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
because in usd if i buy a 2 x 12" in finland i pay from 24$ to 29$ in usd and thats in a shop... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no i can say they are, because they are if i made records i would sell them direct to people for $5 each - if i sold it to a middle man (store, be it online or otherwise) i would sell it for $5 still - they then mark it up - make their profit all is good the perk would be ordering from me - you get it FROM me, i can give you a sticker or a note or whatever - plus you know im getting the profit to turn out more music it's more intimate and less rock star |
||||||||

(well the US dollar isn't worth shit right now) but that's not really my issue |
||||||||
|
|

now it's gone all bad |

I think Warp are cheap myself. What you're copping the price on is the import/export costs. Warp sell their stuff at cheaper than the english price. HMV wanted £17.99 for Big Loada. Hmmmmm, it's a LOT cheaper in WarpMART. It's not Warps fault you pay so much. You should complain to your government about the prices you pay to import stuff. Won't change a fucking thing but there you go. |

And some of the sales are wild... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
warp is not the chapest.... but its far for being expensive its not warps fault if USA´s economy is crashing despite of the belicist tactics to raise it up again |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i dont argue with the sales - what i argue with is boomkat being cheaper selling warp records releases then warp is not cd's cause cd's are my issue - vinyl is |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its not our govt's fault - besides the fact our people are fuct, bush is fuct, and our money is fuct im talking about the prices amongst UK SHOPS and the royal mail - NOT the value of the USD |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
plus, not that i complain, but when a UK shop mails me wax they put "promo vinyl" on the declaration which clears them and myself of paying export fee |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Fair enough, you've made a good statement there. I stand by my point though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah i dig your point - it's always harder when you live on the other side of the pond and your political "leader" is retarded (literally, not in the 5th grade name-calling way) just wish they made it worth my while, shame they lost a customer |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I still think warp is not exspensive |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's a damn shame. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
they wont feel my absence, no big deal, just a point i had to make if anyone here hopes to have fans who purchase their music and value their money as i do but most people don't - boo hoo or whatever |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
they make a good profit by selling it at the warpmart, thats for sure |
||||||||
|
|

I can see the slogans now: "Come to the UK- you get raped in tax and get nothing back from the government, but at least you can buy records reasonably cheaply." Whoops, make that records from our labels. Remember, we pay obscene amounts of import costs on American labels music for certain releases :( |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
i paid 27 euro for an american import cd :( |
||||||||
|

are you making money again? |

I made an order at neomod.com and for a 200 dollar order they charge me 66 dollars for postage? haven't placed the order yet, still in doubt cause of the postal rate; is this normal for overseas packages? and anyone else ordered from neomod before? is it reliable? |
||||||||

you people still PAY for things? |

||||||||
|

I've been bitching about warp lately, being a u.s. customer. I totaled up all the records I need to get and it was $328.67 USD |

most places would drop shippingcosts if you buy for such an amount. |
||||||||
|
|

its just too much if you ask me embrace customers like these éh |
||||||||
|
|

you are confusing matters. if you say you think Warps own stock could be priced cheaper, you could be right. other stuff - no. they're still a shop. they do still have to pay the people who work there. now, you can be just like any other customer and have a look at different shops and notice that some import stuff is cheaper elsewhere. order it THERE then. warpmart is NOT warp records. they owe you nothing because they're affiliated with a label. and I'm really sick about all the whining about freebies. they're freebies. little extra's. it's not normal for you to get free stuff with your order, you are just lucky if you do. (just had a quick look at warp's titles @ boomkat and @ warpmart - it would seem all of them are 1 to 3 pounds cheaper at warpmart.) |

The US's CD prices are just cheaper period, disregarding exchange rates. UK products are never going to rival the US in terms of price IMO. Bleep is awesome I agree. Great value... they said something ages ago about expanding the service to other labels a la warpmart... hope that happens, it will give me an affordable way to get Snares' back catalogue. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Bleep looks pretty nice. Geogaddi for 9.99USD as opposed to 25.00USD or whatever warp has it for. But how can you tell if it is CD or Vinyl? |
||||||||
|
|

Or is it just the files? |

It is just the MP3s :p |
