POSTAGE SITUATION / further details on HANNIBAL
hi guys - thought i'd give you lot the heads up on how we are gonna deal with all these HANNIBAL LP's
firstly and most importantly - please be aware that this isnt a huge 8 vinyl 16 side box set..
These are 4 individual double LP's that each represent a chapter in the Hannibal television series.
As you may have read previously we are releasing the following (all with gatefold sleeves & digital download cards)
season 1 vol 1 - tannum brown vinyl 1000 copies / black vinyl 1000 copies
season 1 vol 2 - amarone grape vinyl 1000 copies / black vinyl 1000 copies
season 2 vol 1 - travertine grey vinyl 1000 copies / black vinyl 1000 copies
season 2 vol 2 - hemochrome red vinyl 1000 copies / black vinyl 1000 copies
we were initially hoping to work out a special 'extra' for anyone that bought direct from Invada - but that plan has been scuppered due to 2 issues 1) we do not have any licensing / poster rights outside of distributing music and secondly and most importantly the postage charges.. which leads me to this....
we have had a long think and have spent the last 2 weeks exhaustingly finding out the cheapest and yet most reliable way of shipping these heavy beasts (especially overseas) -
basically by the time all four are packaged up they weigh over 3 kilo's. In the UK the second you go a gram over 2 kilos the price goes through the roof.
For example we packaged up 4 copies of the Drive soundtrack & took them to the post office and priced them up going 'recorded and tracked' to Australia, The quote was nearly £80 gbp..
We have managed to source a courier who is gonna ship all multi orders (both UK & Export) and this reduces costs but its still (pardon my French) FUCKING expensive.
SOOO... what we've decided on is - anyone who orders the bundle direct from us (all 4 LP's) will get £12 off the coloured vinyl & £9 off black vinyl - in addition & most importantly will get Free shipping in the UK and 50% off the courier price for export. All 'bundle' orders will be sent by recorded means so they wont get lost , and its looking like it will be UPS to the states. (who the courier we use is allied with in North America)
For those of you that want to buy domestically these will be distributed around the world .. We dont go through L.I.T.A in the states... BUT we do go through RedEye who will get the stock into stores all over. Please ask your local store to order though!!
PLEASE do remember though that INVADA are a UK based label and any export on these wont be as cheap as a domestic release in your own territory.
i would like to tell you the total amount weve spent on all these LP's including licensing, manufacturing, promo, etc but id start shaking again.
