In Reply to: RE: Tip from a friend - box sets are sometimes MUCH cheaper from Amazon.UK posted by mbnx01 on September 22, 2014 at 12:21:15
I agree, one can sometimes find better deals on music from foreign sources. Not just UK, but other countries as well. Also, one can (must) sometimes find music available outside the U.S. that is not available from U.S. retailers.
However, I have found that generalization can be dangerous. Some things are less expensive or more readily available from U.S. sellers. That's especially true in countries that discourage purchases with foreign currency.

. . . there was one time a shipment from Presto Classical (in the UK) just didn't get here for a couple of months. I contacted Presto, and they were just about to send me a replacement copy of the title I had ordered (but had not received), when the original order showed up in my mailbox - it had evidently been held up in US Customs for some reason. Fortunately, I was able to contact Presto before they shipped the second copy.
Never had a problem with their shipment or packing.
I was wondering about if Amazon UK still honor a free return shipping from the US in case of defects.
Recently I've read a several UK audiophiles reported having to return defective Beatles Mono Box Sets.
I had a case of cracked plastic box on the CD set from a UK Amazon seller. When I reported a damaged box due to poor packing they actually send a new plastic case.
Amazon.uk (and other non-U.S. sources do sometimes offer music cheaper than U.S. retailers. There are other times when ordering from retailers outside the U.S. would cost you more -- and that includes Amazon.uk. So it's best to double cherck before buying
Was that easier to understand?
