[Thor Joachim Haga]

Another deep search on the interwebz has failed me once again. I can’t seem to find ANY online CD store that offers a) worldwide shipping to begin with, b) preferably FREE, or at least cheap worldwide shipping, c) cheap CDs, and d) a decent selection that actually includes the things I’m looking for. Possibly also e) includes the customs, although if I get them cheap enough, I can cope with the calculations when it hits Norwegian shores. All of this per the “four threats” thread.

Sounds demanding, perhaps, but there were TONS of stores like that some 10 years ago. Gone now….POOF!

My parameters are simple – I refuse to pay more than what a full-price CD cost in physical Norwegian stores some 5-6 years ago (some 160-180 NOK), before it skyrocketed to almost twice that in recent years. And even that I do begrudgingly; I’d like to pay less than 100 NOK like I did 20 years ago.

So….has anyone found any CD vendor gems since the last time this thread was active on April 27 of this year?

(Amazon’s “$49 on total order gets free worldwide shipping” offer on certain items seems to be best at the moment, although that still requires me to find cheap CDs on Amazon — discounted items are never part of the $49 deal — so that the total for each CD doesn’t rise above the previously mentioned full-price limit).
