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

Yeah, I am fine with asking for proof now (I thought they should have from the get-go) but is very insulting to send that message to someone who does. I am not sure how much they can help prevent warps without the entire pressing industry changing, mather gets warps from everyone even places that are known for not having them.
Agreed - I've also thought that proof, or generally tightening up on things like sleeve/cosmetic damage, is a reasonable thing.

And agreed - total bad form in putting that in an email. If there is some new magic threshold of orders-to-replacements that customers must meet - put it in a policy somewhere on the website and just refer them to it. And offer some store credit at least, for pete's sake...

Right. Even a “we’ve decided to tighten our policy, won’t be replacing this type of warps going forward, here’s $10 in store credit to thank you for your loyalty” would have earned them points in my book, versus emailing CS and the CEO canceling hundreds of dollars worth of orders.
 
Recently updated, apparently? I haven't read it in a while, tbh.

Yeah - and if their end goal is to save money by not sending replacements for "bogus" requests (not yours! just hypothetically), a small token credit still accomplishes that!

And avoids actively pissing off loyal customers, which as a business owner myself, is like the #1 thing a healthy business focuses on as a priority.
 
Forgive my ignance but which De La and what happened?

Dead, the site crashed when it went on sale, then there appeared to be a lot of cosmetic damage ones that got replaced when people hadn't even received their regular box and then they had actual playback issues but there were no more copies to send

some of us (me included) said there should be some kind of system in place, I suggested a collect all of the issues and use a ranking system to determine who gets a replacement and who gets credit/refund

To add I still think they should collect all the emails about issues until a certain date, if there are fewer issues than replacements then all that emailed in get a replacement (with proof of the issue), if there are fewer to send out than requests then rank them by playability to the least amount of cosmetic damage, sure there is some subjectivity in there but it is better than what they had and imo have now.
 

That is not at all the policy that was in place when I signed up last November.

@wmeugene Holy shit, that response from CS was awful. I'd pack my bags and take my money elsewhere if I received that response.
 

I have read these terms recently because I receive a lot of warps as well. This is a very recent change. I’d say in the last two weeks tops. The conspiracy theorist in me suspects right after the forum closed. Erase the early days evidence where Cam said they would replace anything that you aren’t happy with regardless of the issue affecting playback or not.
