Your Yeezy avatar lasted longer than VMP which given the state of Kanye is a feat unto itself.

I didn't fully go through with it, but I started inquiring about a chargeback for my dead box on my Apple Card, and the first thing they asked was if I had any communication with them regarding refunds or cancellation and if I hadn't to reach out immediately.
Just my 2c, if you have any aspirations of a chargeback just send an email and when you get zero response at least you have it on record that you "tried".

lmfao, I've considered changing it recently.... as much of a fan I used to be, he's fully off the rails. Shame.

You will not get a membership refund. They offered that in February when they changed their subscription details. I told people they should take advantage of that if they had a long term sub…
You should cancel def jam immediately. That’s never happening.
@RHANDMJ supposedly ALS was pressing in March at RTI. That’s kinda the last thing I’m keeping hope alive for in terms of preorders. They did update the production calendar yesterday but it was all updates for color variants of wide releases. I’d bet that Matt and Tyler are left. And they have some outsourced human CS agents…but that’s probably it.

I thought you got your dead box? Or you just ordered another one?
If you ordered something recently, just check your card’s chargeback policy and see how long you have. IMO it’s wild to ask for a chargeback from something you purchased less than a week ago. And I’d be surprised if your credit card company granted it given VMP isn’t under yet. Email VMP for sure and if they don’t get back to you, then it’s good evidence for a chargeback.

If some of these exclusives are already pressed and manufacturers are waiting for VMP to pay before shipment (which will never happen), I wouldn't be surprised to see some of these exclusives included in the next Black Friday RSD or RSD next year.
I see that Young Thug's Barter 6 is an RSD Exclusive this year. What are the odds that this is the production that was supposed to be sold by VMP?

I would be surprised…because the plants legally are not allowed to sell those records because they don’t have the licenses for the music on them. And the labels don’t own the records because VMP owns them even if complete payment wasn’t made.
VMP will go under. The plants will have to turn over the records to whoever buys their assets in bankruptcy auction. And the plants won’t see more money after the bankruptcy because I’d imagine the debt to other creditors will be much higher than what they get at auction

FYI I canceled my test pressing order on Monday night and just received my full refund this morning. There is hope to get money back.

My test pressings sent out yesterday. Or at least some of them

Keep us posted on what you receive @MikeH!
Part of me thinks they are still going to send them to me even thought I canceled the order. I read on the Hoffman forums that someone canceled their dead box and still got it.

I just got mine this morning with the test pressings, De La Soul, and Cujo. Been subbed since early 2017 and always looked forward to the box every month. I will be sad that there will be one less company putting out some great releases on vinyl, but they really lost their way awhile ago. It's time.
Everything runs it course and something will fill in the void for me. I think more than anything I am relieved I don't have to stress about finding space in my Kallax's anymore.

Sometimes things sneak through. My buddy got the expensive Coltrane photo print for free after he cancelled. But not everything gets sent out that’s cancelled.

I should have clarified. I got the shipping notice this morning. Let ya know in a week. Got Hip-Hop, Classics, and Anthology. I am curious what everyone ends up with.

Mine started moving already so they didn't get stuck at label created. Part of me thinks that maybe all my stuff will be in that box since that has happened before without my orders getting updated. But we'll find out Monday if not before it looks like.

I had pre-ordered Max Roach but I now have zero confidence that will ever materialize. I just sent them an email asking for a refund on that. Fingers crossed.
And then last week I bought a couple of the Impulse titles from TBT (Sun Ra and Pharoah Sanders) with store credit and just got shipping notification on those. That's the last of my credit and seems like this will be my final order from VMP. Sad to see it all come crashing down like this.

This right here for me. Started with Moby Play and left right before Covid. Got remarried and funds went elsewhere. I sure miss those deliveries of huge cardboard boxes of black gold. I really miss the build up of what the ROTM was going to be. These Guess Me Please. All the back and forth about the album. I was introduced so soo much music back then. Good times.

Think I got in at Moby as well! I believe that might have been my second record I ever got which felt special because it was my moms most played CD growing up!
