Pre-Order Thread

There has been so many times I wanted to order a album which was only $20 or $25 which is very reasonable but then they charge $10 + for shipping and then I decided it's not worth buying it anymore. I wish places would charge no more than $5 for shipping.

It’s a genuine cost to them. The bigger they are as a label/store the less it costs them through volume, or like Amazon and the like their own delivery services that use exploitative employment methods. Should a smaller store or label really have to lose money on shipping so that you get a luxury item cheaper?

No but they also don't need to charge $10 + for shipping either.
 
Media mail is about $6/7 mailers aren't $3. If they know they can get away with charging more they will. An extra $2 an order adds up quick for profit
Good mailers will run you about $1.60 per, then factor in the “handling” part of shipping and handling. Meaning whoever is packing your order is on the clock. $6 is then somewhat reasonable. If they’re using pirate ship it would be cheaper though
