Ok, I'm ready with the pre-order of the CD on Bandcamp.
does that work better than ordering stuff directly from AmRep?
hmmmm, they're way too different. AmRep can be a massacre when it comes to vinyls:
- high prices,
- no digital download card included, let alone the option to download a digital version after placing an order,
- and sold out in less than five minutes.
Now, in the CD department yes, usually their CDs are cheaper because, well... they're only $5 bucks, even considering that the shipping cost to Chile the last time was $13.78, but I still think that Bandcamp is one of the best platforms out there, specially since they give you a wide range of different formats to choose in the case of digital download (I don't recall having downloaded something on AmRep) and that you can do it several times. I usually choose 320kbps MP3 for my phone and AIFF for my laptop. The only problem (not a big deal, really) with Bandcamp is that you can't choose different shipping options, they only give you one choice which is the most economic one... and therefore, no tracking number involved.
