Acoustic encore to an electric set.......nice!!

Just helping those that don't know where to find acoustic sets out is all...I did up a little notepad awhile back with all the acoustic sets etc. and figured anyone looking for them could find them there.

...and I'll personally take advantage of the list you've compiled!

Here beside the rising tide *-*

Hahaha. Having received the mail regarding the subscription, I assumed (on the basis of past experiences here) that free shipping would mean free shipping within the US and standard shipping less the cost of standard US shipping to the rest of the planet. Having seen a few posts suggesting otherwise, I decided to check it out for myself. Firstly the $95.50 price for the next four RT's is pretty much the price of current RT's x4. Now they cost $23.98, which would be $95.92, so you save 42 cents by taking the subscription. Wow. As regards the shipping, to me here in the Netherlands, the quoted prices were $180.11 (Standard) and $89.70 (Rush). Obviously the standard shipping rate is just a bad joke, but even the rush rate is significantly more than the cheapest rate for four individual RT's. It is stated that "Due to the weight of your order, Rush shipping, via UPS, may be less expensive than our standard US Postal Service international shipping method." The catch here is that good old USPS packages come straight to my door whereas the loathsome UPS deliver packages into the evil hands of the local customs. They levy about 35% import duty and sales tax on both the cost of the goods and the shipping cost (!) but that is not the end - UPS also add a charge for presenting the package to customs. I cannot be bothered to work it all out exactly, but I estimate that the rush shipping with extra charges, duties, levies etc. it would cost at least as much as with standard shipping, i.e. around $275 in total. I, along with the rest of the world outside the US, will not be purchasing a subscription and would humbly suggest that, in the name of solidarity, US residents also ignore this kind and cynical offer.
That said, I offer my heartfelt thanks to the people at Rhino who were kind enough to give us these wonderful November downloads free of charge. For that gesture I am truly thankful and Grateful. I hope they come up with more "promotions" like this, but I hope that in the future they can offer shipping costs (outside the US) that can be considered realistic.

...acting as the US shipping agent for the folks overseas, and still save the final recipients half of this silly S/H.
