JPC.DE sent me an email today. The message was nice! They have permanently reduced shipping costs to Finland from 8 to 6 euros!
Spatial distortion is a serious problem deteriorating headphone listening.
Crossfeeders reduce spatial distortion and make the sound more natural
and less tiresome in headphone listening.

Guess 71db never read it LOL, or perhaps he knows he has a kindred spirit in the NW of England  ;D

Same here, shipping costs to Greece went down 4 euros, being now at 5,99 euros. A solemn and celebratory e-mail from jpc.de communicated this uplifting piece of information.

I wasn't aware of shipping cost, guess in the bulk of it, I did not notice that anymore huh! ;D

Free shipping would be wonderful but I understand they need to charge something. 8 euros was too high.

I saw it. I am in shock you joked like that. I don't know what to say.  :P

Everything is well, even jpc.de lowers its shipping costs (notwithstanding the fact that I can't be bothered to make proper purchases at the moment:-)!

Seems we all received the same email.

It saves me a whole Euro! Wow!

They should offer free posting for orders over, say, 75 euros.

Within Germany postage is free with any purchase over 50 Euro. About a year ago they stopped charging me postage period. Even a single super budget CD is sent with no postage charge. Preferred customers (meaning those of us who spend most of our wages at JPC) get this special treatment? I don't know. I wasn't sent a message; they just dropped the postage one day. They also send a free CD at Christmas  :)

I was wondering if you'd had a hand in that, my friend  ;D

It's irrelevant for me, as I'd prefer not to pay extortionate Canadian customs and handling charges. :p

I can sympathize, and empathize: it's a crap shoot in Germany. Sometimes packages get through, ignored or unseen by the Zollamt, but when you're caught, the charges are outrageous.

Still €12.99 to the USA, which is to my mind extortionate.  That's why I'd rather order from HMV UK or HMV Japan (yes cheaper to ship from Japan!) unless it's a huge order.  I keep a cart running, but if I can find the items elsewhere for the same or less, it doesn't make sense to order from them.  Amazon DE also charges a small fortune to ship to the USA.

Much of the blame rests with the Deutsche Post. A single CD in a small envelope costs me 8 Euro (10 bucks!) to send to the States. The same envelope sent in the opposite direction via the US Postal Service costs $3.50. The Post really screws everyone.
