I don't know if it'll make you feel any better but we could just all blame the person who posted it on Reddit.No I actually regret ever bringing Crateism up at this site
If anybody needs some Bryan Ferry solo albums, hit me up…

TLK, the dream is not over yetSo ... Even though they cancelled and refunded me on one of my stupid insane orders and haven't shipped most of what I ordered on the double orders yet, I just got home to a box with 50 LPs in it that I didn't pay for....
So, Crateism is a total bag of cold shit, huh?
This thread started my experience with their Record Of The Month offer last year, so I'll drop my most recent email from them here. After a couple months of trying to get an answer for why they only shipped 3 titles and stopped emails/shipments in March, I got 2 records in October and then more silence. Then I asked if they could update and just send whatever titles they had available, thinking they'd send some unwanted overstock for the sold out ROTM titles.
Then I get this:
So I guess, buyer beware? And if anyone wants to use that code, I assure you I don't plan on using it.
Fair enough. Maybe they just didn’t get to my email before the holiday weekend. I’m not anxious or upset by it. Figured this would be the case for $3 records. And most people should have expected it too.When i posted the initial sale, I tried to mention that this group has some erratic communication, and that their tracking info is slow. It didn't really stop the grumbling about it when they didn't get tracking ID's that weekend especially since SOV (a comically larger org) was shipping immediately.
For what it's worth, here is my email when I just checked on an ETA-

And they made an Instagram post saying the same. Now whether one should be a sub to their socials to get info? I don't know, I don't work for them and can't answer why they aren't more pro-active.
I've had a subscription with them for two years, I've always gotten my stuff. Actually my June mystery box has already shipped. But I would say that if you are worried that they are shady, or if you have anxiety about shipping times, maybe it's best to sit the $3 records sale out this time.
Do you own stock in this fiasco or just an emotional investment? What's "rich" is how you make passive aggressive comments in here regularly but are trying to call everyone else out for nothing. I've just ignored it until now because, being as strikingly handsome as I am, you have to become accustomed to that type of misdirected chatter and projection.
Are we sure they aren't the same person? The reddit poster seemed just as sensitive defending Crateism. I was starting to think the reddit poster was the owner of the site.I don't know if it'll make you feel any better but we could just all blame the person who posted it on Reddit.

While I don’t pile on… I’m squarely in the camp of having received only 4 of 12 records from my subscription with them despite multiple outreaches. That is a huge difference from how plaidroom has grown their business. From my limited experience with crateism… they seem to have earned the reputationSo if you follow them on IG or have emailed their CS, you would know that they have publicly said that the turn time for shipping the mystery boxes is 2-3 weeks because they got over 800 orders the first time and that they are a small outfit that will take some time to pack them all.
Are you serious? The company that sold used dollar bin records to people?
The amount of passive aggressive bitching about Cratesim, while places like Plaid Room get a pass on ship time- both being small companies, is fucking rich.

I still think it’s probably worth a shot. Just go in knowing it will take awhile to get what you ordered. And pay with an easy way to dispute in case you don’t get them.
I went ahead and bought one. I'm more interested to see what comes in the box, and if it's something I already own. For $7 I couldn't pass it up, even if it does take awhile to ship.
Serious question...how do they prevent all orders shipped out from turning to a vinyl puddle due to the 117 degree heat?10% off everything at The In Groove including AP/Mofi/Impex.
@Ghost they have the Belafonte at Carnegie for 10% off and free shipping:

In all seriousness I’ve not had any issues in 8-ish years but if anything hits direct sunlight it’s toast. Since UPS doesn’t have AC in its trucks I wonder if these companies use an overnight service or request that the trucks come equipped with AC? Most of mine come from USPS and while the box is slightly warm upon arrival, the contents are usually unperturbed.It acts as nature’s Vinyl Flat and everything arrives perfect.
