This is all becoming kind of comical at this point, no?

A little confused as it says 1st time on vinyl. I have Two&Three on vinyl. So these are represses of the 2014/2015 releases? For example....

The Grateful Dead - Two From The Vault

From my understanding these are going to be represses of what we got early in the 2010's.

We need to stop supporting merchants with these so-called "all sales final pre-orders". It is complete horseshit, they absolutely can cancel the order, and your credit card company can assist them with that process.

Buying a record is not a contract.

Interesting as I was just thinking I would basically not consider ordering something I thought I was going to decide I didn't want before it even arrived. Not sure why the onus should be on the merchant seeing as the decision to buy rests entirely with me.

Because returns and cancellations are the cost of doing business for any industry providing goods. Declining to cancel an order before goods and services have even been provided is bad faith- circumstances change for a variety of reasons.

I agree for the most part but I do take issue with the rise of "DuE tO tHe NaTuRe Of PrE-oRdErS" nonsense. There's nothing about ordering something in advance that is materially different from ordering something that is physically in stock that should prevent order cancellations. They don't want to give you that option, fine, but why the pretense that it's just not possible in these circumstances?

I think that's a good point. It does make more sense though when it is for small independent artists who take pre-orders prior to pressing the records, sort of like crowdfunding. I guess in that sense, the nature of pre-orders is different.

Yes, you can tell a quality company when you need to deal with their customer service policies. I have a # of companies I only buy from as a last resort. Sadly this means some things I don't buy and miss out on because I don't want to deal with the hassle if there is an issue. Sometime I swallow my pride and roll the dice. Right now with vinyl sale strong they are getting away with some shady practices but always doing your best to support companies with the most customer friendly service is a very good thing all around.
