Vinyl Me Please (store, exclusives, swaps, etc)

Ugh, I hate UPS. I have a standard email I send companies that I say I will not do business with them if they continue to use UPS as a shipper. I absolutely hate them. They will repeatedly deliver to the wrong address. Lately I have had them deliver to a UPS outlet that is close to me and that worked for a few deliveries, until the outlet closed because of COVID-19. But the morons at UPS still try to deliver there even though it is closed which then adds another 2-3 days on to the delivery because it has to go back to the depot etc etc.

In America it kinda makes sense since they no longer ship via Fed Ex and have switched to US Postal Service Media Mail which is considerably cheaper, Funny enough I think they made the right decision there, while the tracking is much worse the shipping time is just as fast if not faster and though Fed Ex. I am surprised on International Shipments though, but whatever at least you don’t have to wait and it doesn’t cost ya anymore.

So glad they switched to USPS. Our local FedEx distribution warehouse has been in the local news for being backlogged on shipping packages by weeks and when they do ship finally them, they often look like this:



USPS overall is awesome. So of course the government is actively trying to kill it.

Sweet, good job all around. Excellent form with the all around destruction boys, good work not simply focusing on dropping it on its head but rather completely shredding about 5 feet of box on a ten foot projector screen AAAND dropping it's on its head.

Wow, this is definitely a pro job. No amateur could do this accidentally.

For Internationals also a good side effect of VMP sending shipments rather in single boxes or just boxes of 2 than sending them all in one big box is that this reduces the chance that boxes end up at custom office.

USPS tracking as of late has been awful for me...informed delivery is always off by a day or two. I sold a somewhat expensive record ($90) last week and shipped it. The tracking said it was delivered to a totally different zip code and the buyer, rightfully, was concerned. But the next day it showed up at their place.

I've had to track down a $200 record that I shipped. The buyer wasn't even stressed out about it, but I was. It literally went from an "out for delivery" to nothing. They couldn't track it and this went on for a couple of weeks, minimum. I called USPS and a women was pissed off at me for contacting her, claiming that they had it at some other facility, and she was threatening to mail it back. Why not just deliver it if you still have it and never did. I called the other place she told me to and they said they didn't have it. It was a mess, but... somehow, we finally got it to him.
