My brother also ordered Even Worse.

Maybe for tax reasons or for the reason that they weren't available at the same time or one piece was already packed.

Duty / tax reason for the Netherlands is 22 euro , is the content above that price then you must pay 19 % extra for tax (value). Most online store know that , so they enter a lower price on the package.

Amazon is notorious for shipping items seperately, and for unknown reasons. Even if you order two of the same item! I ordered two digital video tapes to give to Al & Suzanne as a wedding gift, and, because they were gifts, they were shipped seperately. Go figure!

I'm glad you're getting WAY Live, and TUVC, mewrio!

I was fortunate enough to get TUVC before I knew how great it was going to be. I have yet to get LIVE! though. I've borrowed the library's VHS version a bajillion times.

The DVD's ten times better.

Driew's right, Carol. Once you can swing it , get the DVD. You won't be sorry!

*wonders if releasing WAY Live on VHS and THEN DVD was another one of Al's schemes to get more money, much like the whole 'have 2 companies manufacture Poodle Hat with 2 different disc labels to make the fans want to buy two copies' thing*

*Pictures Al laughing maniacally and rubbing his hands together!*

Actually, I think it was the label who had that idea...... *pictures some corporate leader rubbing his hands together and laughing*

I think Al might've been in on it.

Al = >:)

Maybe, but taxes and duties in Australian don't have to be paid unless it's more than $50.

Amazon is notorious for shipping items seperately, and for unknown reasons.

Oh well. Is the rest of their service pretty good? I hope to shop there again in the future for all my Al CDs.

And releasing the stripped-down version of TUVC for the Aussies?

Oh well, all that's behind me now. And no, I don't think Al had much to do with it, but it is technically, a very good business strategy, so who knows?
