I've not seen a case where shipping was more expensive than vinyl but;
I made an album and sell the vinyl on our website. The sleeve to ship the vinyl safely in was somewhere between £0.5 and £1 depending on where we bought it from. Actually shipping it cost £5. So the £30 vinyl came with £6 in shipping fees. Lots of people complained to us that it was expensive, but that's just what it cost.

Your use of pounds is a big clue there. Shipping it across the pond is routinely doubling the price of the album plus taxes on top of that
- maccard 3mo agoAh - shipping pretty much anything transatlantic is expensive, doubly so if you want it to actually survive. It’s never going to be worth shopping a $40 item from the US to the UK unless it’s tiny.
- dylan604 3mo ago> It’s never going to be worth shopping a $40 item from the US to the UK unless it’s tiny. That's bold. Who are you to say what is worth something to someone you don't know. I've already stated that I have done this, but it is a limiting factor on how often I do.
- maccard 3mo agoSorry - only a sith deals in absolutes. I didn’t mean “literally never under any circumstances” I meant “on the balance of probabilities it’s unlikely that the financial cost of shipping something small is worth it, unless the item has some value that is not financial” But that was wordy
