I emailed them the other day actually to see if there were any updates and it was radio silence…

Well knowing how they couldn’t even provide VinylBox titles that were already paid for to their own customers I doubt they will give titles paid for that they have seen no money from.

Well I’m pretty sure it was part of the sales deal…so I imagine people could hold their feet to the flame a bit. I’ll give them a little time because it was something like 8,000 orders they have to sort through and according to that pressing plant dude on Reddit, the pressed records were only mailed to them a few weeks ago

You will get your orders but you are required to sign up for VinylBox for 3 years, Moose outside should have told ya.

I sent them an email on the 16th asking specifically about the Superchunk being offered in their August boxes since I'd sorta like the copy I paid for last year, if they're still committed to that. The auto-response said they try to get back to everyone within 48 hours... maybe metric time is different?

i got no response either. When the settlement first happened, they did email me back to say that it would take awhile to sort through the inventory and get stuff out. I’m not buying it. I did get to see the inventory list and there were something like 12,000 preorders spoken for. A bunch of those records were marked as unpaid and being held by the plants. Many were marked in possession but on credit with the plants. Some were never pressed (Alvvays seemed like they never did it. Department of eagles wasn’t even on the list.I sent them an email on the 16th asking specifically about the Superchunk being offered in their August boxes since I'd sorta like the copy I paid for last year, if they're still committed to that.

I emailed them too. I'll give it another week, but not expecting a reply. It's funny that they would think ignoring the victims of the Bandbox fraud would ingratiate them with the vinyl community. Even telling us that they can't send us what we already paid for would be better business than just ignoring us after all that was said. But they've always been a bit of a joke of a company who screws over their customers too, so it's not at all surprising. Dirt bags gonna dirt bag, and courts let them.

It's funny that I almost got their exclusive of the lissie album a couple of years ago and I canceled it because I no longer wanted it and now they are no longer in business.

It is not funny that they owe most of us 10-12 records plus credit, but Them's the breaks.

Greetings fellow Bandbox creditors.
We are back with another update. In June, a judge in Minneapolis approved the terms of the receivership which, in the simplest of terms, means that the deal to sell Bandbox to VYNL will go through and a bank will get all that money. Yay banks.
What it means for you, however, is that you will get your OK Go records! When? We're not entirely sure just yet.
But here's the exciting news... those records have been located in the massive pile of other unshipped products that VYNL now has in its possession! Check it out:
Once we know more about a ship date, we'll let you know. Apparently, and unsurprisingly, there is a tremendous amount of red tape that must be cleared before things can start shipping out.
Many of you have also been asking about the fanzine that was promised. Well, we have more good news on that front... a draft copy of the zine was completed before Bandbox imploded and we have the files in our possession. It is unclear if a budget exists to properly edit or print it, but at a bare minimum, we should be able to share a pdf copy with you at some point.
That's all for now.
We remain optimistically yours.
