Boring Japanese postage query...

**benjamin hatton** · 14-09-2006, 11:42 AM

Apologies for this but was just wondering if anyone here had a rough idea how much it costs to send a 7" from Japan to the UK? I bet Viva Chiba knows the answer to this one

shouldn't be much, i just paid jetset rcords $7 to send a 12" from japan to helsinki

cheers!

I think most of the big Ebay sellers also charge only $5.00 for one 7" - Japanese postage is pretty cheap. Next time I go I'm gonna take loads of heavy mailers and send back tonnes of stuff via surface mail. . .

ermmm..gonna keep schtum until i've got it as I don't yet know if it's in stock...it's not a Japanese record though...

Not Japanese ?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!

I'm not interested then

Those fellas do get lost of interesting Euro / US bits though. Got my copy of "Psychedelic Percussion" from Japan for about £50, not that I ever listen to it of course. . .

a well packaged 7 to japan costs aprox £3.00 all in. not sure about the other way round but i'd guess it was similar

I'll show you mine if you show me yours. . . ehh. . .don't take that the wrong way!!!

Actually this Finnish LP ain't mindblowing, but it's decent. . . all will be revealed in the xmas swap. Or even Brillo, if I get there early enough to play. . .!
