Tom 1960 Posted March 15, 2008 Report Posted March 15, 2008 Sounds like exciting news, Zen. Definitely something to look forward to. My favorite is the Natick Newbury Comics store. Made alot of purchases there last spring. Quote
jmjk Posted March 15, 2008 Report Posted March 15, 2008 Sounds like exciting news, Zen. Definitely something to look forward to. My favorite is the Natick Newbury Comics store. Made alot of purchases there last spring. Yeah! I like that location, too! Quote
king ubu Posted January 21, 2012 Report Posted January 21, 2012 (edited) Not sure this is the right thread, but... I've been pissed by newbury comics lately, quite some. Isn't it official amazon policy that marketplace vendors aren't to make any profit from shipping fees and stuff? Anyway, newbury offers many discs twice, once for US only and at good prices, and then in a second listing for international customers, with a price that's some 20$ higher! I know, that's NOT making profit of shipping fees really, but still... sucks bigtime. Example? http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B000000YI5/ref=dp_olp_all_mbc?ie=UTF8&storeAttribute=m&qid=1327156554&sr=1-3&submit.see-all-buying-options=see-all-buying-options&condition=all wtf!? Got to add that I was a regular customer and always more than satisfied before they went US-shipping-only... and now I'm just pissed by them. Edited January 21, 2012 by king ubu Quote

That first item, priced @ $7.93, is "fulfilled by Amazon.com". Does that mean Amazon ships it, or that Amazon has some say in its sale/distribution? Is this the same situation for all of the examples you've found? It should be noted that while the other item offered by Newbury is indeed $18.42 more, it's still cheaper than what's being sold by the other marketplace sellers (as much as $45 cheaper, in fact).

king ubu Posted January 23, 2012 Report Posted January 23, 2012 It's indeed those "fulfilled by Amazon" it seems, that won't be shipped outside of the US. I still don't get it... I mean I can order from Amazon and from Newbury Comics on their own... I guess that's why minus and minus equals plus or some such... Quote

I guess that's why minus and minus equals plus or some such... bugs me too similarly for import CD's - have a good selection of OJC's (plus other labels) that can only be shipped within the states - does anyone know why this is so? I used to be able to buy these up until a couple of years ago Quote
king ubu Posted January 23, 2012 Report Posted January 23, 2012 It is because they chose to not ship internationally any longer, I think. It's a vendor's choice, I always assumed. Some of the sellers (not Newbury Comics though) are present on priceminister.com, too. Quote
Niko Posted January 23, 2012 Report Posted January 23, 2012 which is weird because i always thought amazon.com shipped internationally... Quote
