JIGD13 Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Yes but the site is very bad and for me it doesn't seem that the company has the money to sell the box set in 40$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteTim Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 It says 4 discs though. Well send them a email asking I bet they'll tell you the same as they replied to me as being 3 cds in a box that comes with a sticker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
girly Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Yes but the site is very bad and for me it doesn't seem that the company has the money to sell the box set in 40$ what do you mean "the company has the money to sell the box set for $40???" as in you don't think they would make any money off it, is that what you mean? as for the site being bad, this is the site i was (way back when i bought my box set) re-directed to (from Greenday.com) to buy my box set. I am pretty sure they the company in charge of whole the canadian distribution of the box set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am pretty sure they the company in charge of whole the canadian distribution of the box set. Because the box set costed like 80$ from the store when I bought it, so I don't think it will cost 40$ just because to make each book costs like 10% - 15$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
girly Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Ok, so i just compared the UPC #: 093624948070 on the web site to the SKu numbers in my order. It seems to match the UNO CD (book version) plus the card board box so maybe this is just uno and the box??? but then why would it day 4 discs??? very odd. UNO! CD / Book with Slip Case 1 x ¡UNO! CD / Book $0.00 093624948070 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteTim Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Well how much difference is there in America and Canada (they have different currency) Nvm it's only a 1.50 difference Well i sent an email to their customer service and their response was 3 cds in a box with a sticker i replied asking if Cautro dvd was included they havent responed yet When i put it in the cart and go to order says it ready to ship now with NO mention of a pre order at all but cautro aint out so... Ill post when i get a response back about the dvd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
girly Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Well how much difference is there in America and Canada (they have different currency) not quite sure what you are asking? How much difference in terms of what?? they have different currency but the conversion is pretty close to 1:1. Since they are different countries you sometimes have to pay duty if something is imported, so that's why it is good to have a distributor within the country. (It also help with shipping times etc.) Most things between Canada and the US are the same. As in same electricity (unlike europe) same formats for DVDs etc..... not sure what kind of answer you were looking for here? Can you be more specific?? Anyhow i have emailed the company to clarify what exactly is included in this box set.Nevermind, you can ignore my last post. WhiteTim edited his post, so I guess he just wanted to know to currency conversion..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I was seeing maybe there was a price difference between american prices and candaian like maybe 40 in Canada currency was 80 in American but after googling I see it's only a $1.50 difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idiotic Tendency... Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 That is not the same as the box set and does not include Cautro... It says 4 discs. It doesn't specify whether it has cuatro or not so how do you know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteTim Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 It says 4 discs. It doesn't specify whether it has cuatro or not so how do you know? I sent an email to their customer service they said it was 3 cds in a box with a sticker I then responded if Cautro comes along they havent responded to it yet But when you go to order it states its ready to ship today Cautro isnt out and it says nowhere about pre order or anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overjoyyed Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 I'm from Canada the currency difference is exactly the same as the US dollar usually a 1 cent difference CAN usually a little higher these days. And my boxset did come from Rhino Records.. That's why I was surprised b/c I ended up paying a good 20$ extra from the advertised price for the boxset being from Canada and buying off greenday.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overjoyyed Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 So the one you ordered is the same one that we are talking about No I bought the official one from greenday.com that was priced around $100. Rhino Records as opposed to Warner Brothers is the company who mailed the boxsets bought from Greenday.com in Canada. So it is totally possible they are selling the exact same box.

Overjoyyed Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 It may just be the 3 books and the sticker like Whitetim says and it is just advertised incorrectly. I still think that for the 3 books its a steal. The retail price for the regular jewel case CDs of Uno, Dos, and Tre are like $12.99 each so 40$ for 3 special edition books is still a great deal.

Warner = USA Rhino = Europe/Rest of World That's usually how larger labels have things set up. They've got a US base and a Euro/Otherside of the Pond base. This could also explain why it's taking some of you overseas guys and gals so long to get yours. They really only have a few warehouses across all of Europe. Just a theory though.

WhiteTim Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 They still havent responded to the dvd question If it is the books/dvd I'll order another set Warner = USA Rhino = Europe/Rest of World That's usually how larger labels have things set up.
