[ByersVinyl]

I would gladly take that code off your hands...

Sorry just tried one i saw posted but have not got one.

Just reading up on what happened...

So Mike H found a glitch that allows an extra $50 off, then someone else contacts vmp to ask for that glitch to be applied to their order?!

Wtff

And some VMP CS members gave out codes to those who asked

Poor, poor Cayleigh. She was so eager to help.

And instead of fixing the loophole, VMP started telling people that the loophole was closed and no longer works (But it still works).

$50 is $50. I fully understand wanting $50 off when other people got $50 off.

Does anyone have a code? I bought this with the member discount. I've bought 3 anthologies so far, so I definitely feel entitled to have a double discount haha

 

[CCZ]

Same here in case someone has an extra code! This has now become tempting with the extra discount. Otherwise I will wait for other vinyles/anthologies thank you

Thats the party line now. I don't think they can fix the workaround.

Not surprised that they aren't voluntarily giving people additional $50 off coupon codes haha.

they can't unless they invalidate all the $50 non-member discount codes they already sent out.

 

[wmeugene]

Per twitter, they only have 150 of these left. Who wants to guess how many double discounted boxes were sold?

Based on what I saw on reddit, my guess is not all that many. Probably 50? People REALLY don't understand how this coupon workaround worked haha.

I'm confused about what they're confused about. VMP has consistently shown that they can't give out codes that actually only work in a specific instance. They seem to always work for everyone regardless of whether they're supposed to or not.

There are a lot of people who seemed mad that they did not get a $50 coupon code even though they bought a previous anthology and they are a current member. One person was straight up saying that the codes do not exist despite being shown pictures of the emails haha. Then lots of people just believed VMP when they said "loophole is closed! sorry!"

I'm with you though...why people are still shocked that VMP can't figure out basic things like coupon codes is beyond me. It is funny though that I didn't even think to try the coupon code thing on the Herbie box. It still was too expensive for me and I didn't love the choice of albums but would have been interesting to see if it worked...I bet it did but nobody really thought to try it it seems.

If I recall correctly, I tried and it didn't stack.

Honestly, this company has a borderline fanatical consumer base. I mean some of them are just plain mental.

VMP are ok. They can be good, utter shite and rarely in between but to read some webbery you'd think that they were pressing unicorn piss and rainbows as opposed to the odd warped repress and the odd aaaalreet lp

 

[GentleSenator]

lol who'd have thought this sorta thing would happen?

 

[Mather]

Okay, all 3 of you that got Dead boxes... Please go look at your Live/Dead jacket, lower left corner next to the "L". Do you see these kinda yellow ink splotches on yours? I got a replacement jacket and it's identical to the first... Same exact splotches, are everyone's like this? It's minor, but it's still there...

As with most things on the internet, you're either REALLY for something or REALLY against it. VMP is no exception. Not many measured takes, especially on reddit. Threads saying VMP sucks followed by threads saying it's amazing and that it definitely does NOT suck.
