Hello Grant,
I hope not! The price on the link you gave is in $US and when you work it all out, it's currently cheaper to import (to the UK) from Marbecks (who aren't the cheapest but there isn't much in it).
All that EBay seller has done is shift the mailing cost onto the CD price to make the shipping look cheaper (or perhaps it's literally shipped i.e. by ship?  )
Anyway, I would prefer us to stick with recognised established online sellers rather than EBay.
Cheers, Dave Hi Dave In my defence it was rather late at night  and I totally missed the salient fact that prices were in US$  Incidentally, I have now had confirmation from Marbecks that my order for two copies has been cancelled so I've ordered separately and asked them to ship separately as well. Best wishes Grant |

Hi Joyce, I didn't mean to be critical, just wondered if it might be better to link to their main online website as they have one (I think). I'm not suggesting that SmokeCDs aren't reliable, you and Grant know EBay sellers far better than I do.  Cheers, Dave |

.....or perhaps it's literally shipped i.e. by ship? . No Dave.... just received an email that confirms it is already on its way and is coming by express airmail i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif should be here in about 4-7 days i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif.  Ebay users know that when buying on Ebay each purchase is covered by 'Paypal', If it should get lost en route they guarantee a full refund....... I have had first hand experience of this recently when buying a dvd.. Buying with Marbeck's means registering and giving them your credit card details, this is not necessary using Paypal. The extra few pence it cost from 'smokedcds' is I feel worth it for their 'express service'. and the peace of mind of Paypal. Hope to have it here soon. i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gifGraham |

My debit card was charged by Marbecks for $26.57 USD. That means it's in stock! And it's not a bad price for importing an album to the US.

Mine comes to $26.53, probably due to currency fluctuations.

£17.24 here, charged to my credit card on the 15th so I hope it was despatched on that date. This is about 40 pence more than I originally expected, because the exchange rate is 2.00 not 2.1 as I thought. Below £18 though, so no UK tax or duty, or customs delays, should occur.

Hi Jillian & Spiderman...$23.66 was what Marbecks charged me.  (most probably a different bank charge) Its still on its way as I type. I also flipped over to Itunes NZ. Even with the 30 sec segments.....     Breathtakingly beautiful !!!!! Graemek |

Meldy Hi Meldy, As far as I know, the only way, for non residents in New Zealand, is to purchase a New Zealand Itunes gift card, but I don't know where to buy them. On Ebay we can find US, UK, Australian and Japanese Itunes gift cards, and set up an account to be able to purchase from those stores, but I never found any New Zealand Itunes gift cards on Ebay. Greetings from Portugal, Paulo Correia |
