Amazon is great and all, but there's no way I'm going to shell out $24.99 for an album that hasn't been released yet. Amazon is selling it for $12.99 plus an added charge of $11.99 for shipping and handling and one small surcharge of $2.99 for delivery fee.
So instead of going through that route I ordered my copy from Barnes and Noble.com and got the album pre-ordered with a shipping fee that was reasonable. My total for everything was $18.00 and some change.
Don't get me wrong, I love amazon, but a shipping and handling charge that's almost the price of the album itself is just wrong.
Pre-ordering overcharge?

I can explain that.Si wrote:Confused. You're profile says your in scotland (scots flag). So it would be £8.98 for the CD and about £1.50 for 1st class postage.
If you are in the USA it's $12.99 plus shipping which appears to be $6.99 for next working day. That's what I'm being quoted anyway.
I've been in 'The States' since June and currently residing in Washington State. I'll be attending the University of Washington to for a few comparative law classes and an applied sociology class, in the fall.
So since I'll be across the pond for the new Alice album why not get it here instead of ordering it back home when it'll be around Christmas when I'll have a chance to come home again.
