So, I tried to download an album from amazon but it's not working. I need to be in US to download from US amazon, in UK to download from theirs etc etc... But when I order hardcopy I never get it, like with The Young Veins now, it's been 2 months since I ordered it, I'm just hoping they don't push the date again because frankly I can't afford to call them and yell at them :( 

And I know there are people I could ask to buy it for me, I can even send them money now - yay PayPal, they are the only ones willing to take my money - but it PISSES ME OFF that I have to go through such a fucking loop just to SPEND money. I get that we're a tiny market for them, so they don't even have to bother, but maybe we wouldn't be such a tiny market if they made it easier for us to just GIVE THEM OUR FUCKING MONEY.

And wow, LJ just totally blew me off and posted this, good job.

I'm torn between angry and sad really, because wtf. "Pleaasee, take my moneeeyyy, I have ~~SO MUCH and I want you to have some tooo...!!!!" FUCK YOU NO.

If you want to send me the money, I can buy it for you, but I'm not sure if it's possible to upload Amazon downloads because I've never dealt with them before.

Thank you, I'll think about it. I just don't WANT to have to do it, y'know? :( I am the ultimate fucking unicorn I guess :/

oh man, word. it seriously sucks :(
i was on ebay earlier and the amount of american people who only send to the usa made me sad. I WANT TO BUY YOUR GODDAMN THING BUT YOU WON'T LET ME.

i didn't have any problems getting my albums from amazon though.

i'd offer to buy it for you but they don't sell it here either. sometimes i really hate living in a tinyass, unimportant country.

[maskitheclown.livejournal.com]

yup, it's not like they'd have to pay for the shipping, just charge that too and we're done. wtf.

I ordered TYV from Germany and they postponed me for a month, I hope they don't do it again.

Yup :( Can't there be like "tiny-country-amazon"? Someone organize that shit and get rich on us, please.

butting in, hi.
if you wanna buy something and they only ship around the usa, you should pm the person and ask if they're willing to send the thing to europe. they usualy say yes, but the shipping is naturally more.

[spindlelimbs.livejournal.com]

really? i didn't know that! :D

[afterxbirth.livejournal.com]

yeah, is how i got the pretty. odd. deluxde package thingy.

[slashxmistress.livejournal.com]

What are you trying to get? If it's something I have I'd be happy to share. (You can always buy it when it IS available to you if it makes ya feel better)

[maskitheclown.livejournal.com]

Yeah but some of it will never be available to me. A lot of the less popular stuff (like The Young Veins and The MF Used) never makes it to my country.
I'm looking for BirdEatsBaby. They are a "dark cabaret" band but not a lot of people have them.

[slashxmistress.livejournal.com]

Oh! I've heard of them!
Have you tried buying from bandcamp.com? http://birdeatsbaby.bandcamp.com/
I know they sell to a lot of countries,

[maskitheclown.livejournal.com]

Sweet, I'll try, thank you, I was looking around but wasn't sure which of the other websites is trustworthy.

[slashxmistress.livejournal.com]

If not I found THIS (http://www.mediafire.com/?tndzaj2fqma) - which is only 4 songs - but it works -it looks like the China Doll ep + one?

[maskitheclown.livejournal.com]

I have some songs, of various qualities but it's hard to listen to because some are really quiet and others really loud :) Hm, I need to do some math now, this might take a while, either way, thank you, and if I do download, I'll share :D

[afterxbirth.livejournal.com]

you should write them an angry email. and amazon too. i'll even translate it into german for you.

[maskitheclown.livejournal.com]

*g* I should :D I might write them a polite one some day. When I'm not raging over them. The only one who loves me is PayPal. And I love them back :D

[lstinhpfdm.livejournal.com]

That totally sucks. I really don't understand the politics of why these things can't be sold outside of the U.S.. And it's politics not economics.

You know you can always ask me to pick something up for you.

[maskitheclown.livejournal.com]

Definitely politics. *shakes head* I don't get it.

Thank you. I did end up asking a friend. I just wish I didn't have to, it's so stupid.

[mrsquizzical.livejournal.com]

ugh. how infuriating! *hugs*

[maskitheclown.livejournal.com]

*hug* it really is.

So weird. I ordered the TYV vinyl/cd off the US Amazon and I got it like a week after it released.

... Whereas, the fun. merch I ordered from the UK in London STILL hasn't arrived. I don't get these systems!

[maskitheclown.livejournal.com]

Apparently yesterday they finally shipped my album, yaay :D

So logical... I think maybe all these amazons who aren't in US have to order from US and won't send out until they have a certain number in stock or certain number of orders?
Because all the time they "couldn't send me by tyv album" their website said they had it in stock.

[tanisafan.livejournal.com]

Wth, that makes no sense. Maybe it was because I pre-ordered the vinyl + CD? Because I was actually susprised how quickly I received it, and it had to be shipped to Belgium, so that's the European mainland too. Weird. Maybe they were just temporarily out of CDs and didn't wanna look bad?

[maskitheclown.livejournal.com]

Might be... gah, who knows, they are so mysterious. I wanna write them a letter but I'm too lazy to :D
