Coldplay new online shop - Page 2

givelovesolong · 18-08-2011, 02:32 PM

The women's range is abysmal in comparison to the men's, but I agree that we do have pretty great designs. Annoying that pricing can't be done in Australian dollars also, but as long as they can still ship over here, I don't have much to complain about.

I'm just incredibly glad to see that they've finally put up a sizing chart. That was the one thing that completely irritated me about the previous store.

Blue Nails · 18-08-2011, 02:57 PM

Yes I was surprised to see more men's than women's as well...
I think, when the album comes out or when the band starts touring, there will be more shirts. And they will have parts that glow in the dark. I hope.

valypan · 18-08-2011, 02:58 PM

Well this is only relevant to americans and non-americans willing to pay import duty taxes now....the rest of us must pick up whatever is available during the future tour...

Cobalt · 18-08-2011, 04:17 PM

Oh wow, it actually looks like they've brought back old stock too.

I agree though that the men's range seems a bit disproportionate, but maybe that's how they originally were. I mean, when the Viva range first came out a few days before a concert, the boys saw the shirts for the first time, decided they were crap, sent them all back to make new ones. They don't have too much control over merch.

The official merch store takes FOREVER to ship, too.

Damn you LiveNation.

I figured that out in '99, but thanks for bringing me into the loop.
As I had stated, I asked to pay extra to ship items here, but they refused.

My point is that it was pretty normal back then that you had problems importing Coldplay merchandise, but the current situation of europeans having to pay import taxes is absolutely unacceptable in my opinion.I am truly glad for you and all americans, but there is no reason why Coldplay should not have a U.K.-based store as well for european fans. A t-shirt would cost me more than double the retail price for me to import it, so I can only imagine a lot of people over here will choose only to shop what they want at the live shows. I encourage everyone from Europe to write to the store, letting them know they should change their policy.

I wanted the blue "jumping" tee shirt but since shipping is really slow I will hold off and buy an armload of stuff at the concert I will most certainly be attending!

Have you shopped there before? They seem to promise 1-2 day shipping so it should be fast to the USA anyway.

Most orders ship within 1-2 business days after the order is received. Items on back order will be shipped as soon as the item is in stock. Rest assured, we will let you know when an item is on back order.

kittybitty · 19-08-2011, 09:09 PM

Then I might go ahead and bite. That shirt is calling my name.

hoping the guys launch a MyloXyloto tote bag too, with longer handles than the Viva one so you can actually put your groceries over your shoulder to get from the bus to the front door

I think they distribute from both areas. Taken from small writing on the front page of the shop:
"Please note merchandise ordered In Pound Sterling or Euros will ship from The United Kingdom. Merchandise purchased in US dollars will ship from the United States."

does condensing the shop tax you folks more? Wasn't is always in the UK?
Was under the impression this move just made all merchandise available to everyone.

Blimey! I swear that was not there before, but I might be wrong and might have simply overlooked it. I even wrote to customer support and they did not tell me the items shipped from the UK. I hardly think they added that after hearing my complaint, so I must have simply overlooked it. Thanks a LOT for pointing this out! I can order again: *happy cold player once more*

66 · 21-08-2011, 02:04 PM

Haha! I didn't spot it right away either, thought there was something. More I was missing!
But i love the word 'blimey'!!!!! Hopefully helps all us buyers, :-)
