Good deals on Amazon.co.uk--updated regularly (Part Three)

Thanks!

 

Fleetwood Mac Boston 4LP set £34.99 from third party seller Vinylhead. Amazon UK have next cheapest listing down for £79. So this would appear to be a reasonable deal? Amazon US sell this set for $79.

It’s a great set!

 

Ordered, thanks

 

Bought and received, thanks

 

Me too, Thanks

 

De rien

 

Ordered 3 cd set for $20.50 as it was taking forever with US Amazon(2 months and counting).
Great show for sure.

 

Just a quick follow up on this topic. I ordered two items last night, and had the full range (5?) of shipping options again. Strangely, despite saying 6-10 days for my cheap shipping method, delivery is being shown as 3 weeks from now. Also, unusually, in contrast to my last order which took over a week to even ship, one of my two items (an 80 CD box set) has been shipped within 24 hours -- the other item (a 4CD set) will apparently ship later, even though it is 'In Stock'. I can understand delayed shipping for those wanting free domestic shipping, but it does not make any sense for paid options.

Now back to deals....

 

A silent order of the Claudio Arrau box, cheeky

 

Busted!

I see today that it is shipping from France, and will take 3 weeks. Ouch!

 

Very interesting, mine too. I don't think I've seen that before. I can not wait to hear this box, if you want some great interviews with Arrau I posted them here.

 

I have received items before ordered from one European Amazon but shipped from another. Don't recall any big box sets, though.

Thanks for the links to the interviews, now if only I can find the time to read them, and listen to all the music I keep buying! Lots of the Philips catalog is on TIDAL, so I can listen without opening the box!!

If someone finds a 'Sunday night massacre' price on the Bach 333 box I think my wife will likely 'crown' me with it!

 

I'm glad we're getting a tracking number for this box. At least for me something is up with packages getting lost from Europe to New England

Amazon UK third parties- anyone else waiting a very long time for packages to the US?

 

I had an order from Dutton Vocalion (shipped via Deutsche Post to the US) take 7 weeks. Unbelievable. But getting pretty common as you say.

 

The real Elvis £2.99

I am glad it's not the fake Elvis

 

No he's the Bollywood Elvis

 

Utopia - Live at the Old Waldorf 2LP Gold Vinyl. £11.15 from third party seller All Your Music. It's £28+ from Amazon and others. I have this and it sounds pretty good too!

Just as a follow up to my post above, this LP is available from USA Amazon for Prime members only at $26.24 or $36.28+ from 3rd party sellers.

The Real... series of compilations are an excellent cheap way of getting into an artist. Sony mostly used their latest at the time digital masterings for each song across the line, so this isn't abysmal public domain junk.

 

Yup. This is why I posted the link to that Elvis compilation. 99.9% of us have those tracks already, but that would be a nice present for somebody else. For less that £3

 

Better off buying from all your music in the us for £11.15
You won't get hit by HM customs VAT .

 

I just put the USA prices in for comparison as many forum members here are North American and can then "do the math" to see if it's working out cheaper buying from UK or not.

If you buy from Amazon itself and live outside EU you escape paying the VAT and it's deducted from your final payment. However, marketplace sellers don't do this for some reason. Also, for any importer outside EU, they may be subject to their own local import duty themselves.

Of course you are right pointing this out, as we in UK can be charged VAT on non EU purchases over £15....and import duty if it's over £135.

Tax and customs for goods sent from abroad

However some of the Amazon US sellers (I think All Your Music and Rarewaves) also have a UK based distribution so some items could actually be posted here and avoid any duty altogether.

You have to do your homework buying online to avoid any nasty surprises. I once got slogged badly, having ordered a vinyl box set direct from Warner Music in USA, but as I was leaving UK back to living in Sydney, with the right documentation, I was able to claim back my duty at the airport when leaving UK. I've never been caught out since!

 

Mark,
Rarewaves are based on a trading estate in Scotland as far as I know always have been.
Used them a few times over the years and alway had bent records and ****e customer relations .
All your music I've used loads over the years and the few times I've had a problem they have been great sorting it out.
