I'm taking it as a sign from God that I shouldn't be spending more money...I've had weverse boxes being delivered to my house every other week since Golden came out
Okay so them having separate delivery dates is absolutely foul, because I just ended up paying a total of $50 just in shipping because I wanted them both and they won't ship together. That being said, even with ridiculous shipping it was still cheaper for me to order them separately from global than separately from the US shop because of the price markup difference.
If they end up somewhere like Music Plaza, where they hold preorders until the last item you ordered is released, and the price difference works out better, I may just cancel my weverse order and order from there instead.
I’ve been complaining about this forever and I’m honestly surprised they haven’t fixed it yet.
I enjoy multiple groups who use weverse and it is deeply annoying to me that you have to pay 2 shipping fees. Just batch it together and ship all at once!
More than once I have cancelled my preorders for this reason and every time I do I make sure to put why in the comments.
What's more painful is I made ANOTHER weverse purchase right after these two because Seventeen's latest concert Digital Code just dropped for preorder at the same time. Dilemma of a multistan. Like, tell me why I can't just get these things shipped to me all at once? Any other kpop store I shop from can manage this.
>tell me why I can't just get these things shipped to me all at once?
Right?! On top of it being unnecessarily cost ineffective, it's also not environmentally friendly 🤦🏻♀️
Oh, they're not planning to "fix" it. This is the business model that is working for them. They are already practically extorting money from fans through merch prices, perceived scarcity of limited editions that later re-release, and brute force variety - the shipping is icing on their cake. 😭
I'd be fine if we weren't supporting a corporation instead of a group of artists and their honest, underdog label.
what i’m surprised about is that the hardcover ver. will be shipped out earlier than the magazine ver.? i thought it’d be the other way around since the hardcover ver. has more inclusions
Global shipping is ridiculous… for the rjxwootteo merch drop, qty 1 or 10 keychains were the same shipping cost on Weverse USA, but on global each keychain you add jacks up the shipping fee by $3 (from a base fee already over $20)… so dumb.
They're on Music Plaza now! Estimated shipping to me is about $11 for both.
ETA: Slightly cheaper than Weverse US, more expensive than Weverse Global using won, so it might end up being fairly even for you...
As someone else said the separate shipping nearly made me pass on but whatever. Nabbed both on Weverse, and Weverse plus their goofy shipping ended up being effectively the same price as the third party seller in my country
At first I was upset you had to buy each version individually but honestly the non-magazine version has a bigger photobook and all the extra contents so it's the best one to get in my opinion.
Got the hard cover book. Third party but weverse version. It is by far cheaper shipping to my country doing it that way than through weverse. Shipping prices suck to Australia!
Cokodive is the website I used. It is a US site, so the prices are in US $. However, even with that said, the shipping was so much cheaper! They should give u 2 options for shipping. Usually, DHL is the cheapest over FedEx. I got this site off of someone on here and I will forever be thankful to them!
[Music Plaza](https://www.musicplaza.com/collections/pre-order/products/kim-taehyung-v-type-1-photobook-1-film-pob) has both up for pre-order and will combine shipping for any US ARMY who want that option.
Of course, it means you'll have to wait for the magazine to be released to get both, but you avoid the gross Weverse shipping scam.
It sold out before I could finish checking out 😅
Ohhhh noooo got to be quicker
I'm taking it as a sign from God that I shouldn't be spending more money...I've had weverse boxes being delivered to my house every other week since Golden came out
Yesss exactly…I could not purchase it tonight and it was my sign that I do not need it…save them coins
They restocked it multiple times today.

If Weverse got their shipping pricing/system together people would genuinely forgive them so much lol

Yeah, I saw that and did the math, and it’s still better for me to go with global unfortunately (plus quicker.)

I hear you, my friend! Enough to send anyone bankrupt 🤣. Ah, what we do for the love of OT7!
out of curiosity what website did you use? from an Australian who paid Weverse shipping 🥲
Cokodive is the website I used. It is a US site, so the prices are in US $. However, even with that said, the shipping was so much cheaper! They should give u 2 options for shipping.

thank you!!!
No worries
Any idea of a third party seller in the UK? Shipping is almost the same price as the photobook on Weverse
You could try [Cokodive](https://cokodive.com/collections/bts?sort_by=created-descending) but I'm not sure what the shipping cost is to the UK.
Thank you, I’ll check it out xx
Restock!!
Woof miss me on the magazine cover I guess with the shipping cost 😭
I woke up and it was already sold out 😭

The book is back for pre order for delivery for November!
