Because by the time you order 3 CDs or more the shipping cost is already way above $15. So instead of trying to figure exact shipping costs, which with the Big Cartel's rudimentary shopping cart is very hard if not impossible, I'm simply going to charge a flat-rate. In effect the more cds you buy, the more you save on shipping, which hopefully will serve as incentive for people to buy more cds at once.Avenger wrote:Why would the Canadian price be $15.00 when the actual current USPS Cost is $9.50 for a single CD?
That's not exactly true. Currently I have 85 titles on CDBaby, with other 5-6 in transit. Given the sold-out titles, that's approx 85% of all my available titles.Either way, I have 7-8 CD's I would like to purchase from the Stormspell label but am not doing so right now because:
A) CDBaby only stocks half of the titles I'm interested in
Also, keep in mind that when I moved first time I did not want to lug in all the old dead stock, so I kept 50-100 copies of older not-so-good selling titles, and recycled the rest. Many of those are on CDBaby's $5 SALE page, moving quite good down to last copies, and going to be sold out very soon (finally! .
All in all, I do not plan to run my own store on regular basis any longer. so I DO WANT to encourage people to buy my own releases from CDBaby.
