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

[Ethos99]

So I checked in on my December order (still in USPS limbo) and still got the party line about USPS stinks right now give us more time. When I checked in December, they told me to check back on 1/4 and they would make it right. It's now 1/12 and still nothing but a "give us to the end of the week" before we will try to help you.

Not pleased right now. I could have walked to their NC facility and back in this time.

For what it's worth, I have a few other albums in limbo almost as long that are not updating in the system and can almost guarantee you can't be replaced if they are lost . VMP will eventually make it right.

Edit: One from Bullmoose in Maine that was in San Francisco and then last scanned in Los Angeles on the 8th. Im in Eastern VA.

I had a record shipped from Los Angeles on 12/5 to my house about 40 miles away that didn't show up again in the system until 12/22 in Ohio. USPS is all kinds of fucked.

I mean, they could at least act like they care

Mine has been in limbo in DC for 3 weeks, so at least it is the right direction.

hahahah. I really think a majority of the issues with the USPS stem from them sending packages clear across the country in the wrong direction. It happens way too often.

Saw this on a friend’s post, RE USPS shipping delays: “The machine I’m in charge of is sorting close to 5,000 packages per hour and has been running for over 9 hours straight. (I’m a mechanic for USPS in Bethlehem at the Lehigh Valley Processing and Distribution Plant). Currently about 90% of our supervisors are out due to covid. We’re still running as hard as we can. We have so many people out with covid.... and there are more packages being shipped than ever - nobody wants to go to stores more than necessary and be exposed...”

This seems to be the same as the standard LITA pressing, or am I missing something? It makes sense they would sell it with their partnership with the Dead but not sure if there is anything special about this version.

The email blast says its a non-exclusive pressing

I found this elsewhere for $60. Where DO you want your money to go?

Yes. It's brilliant

 

[Mather]

Yes. It's brilliant

3 months ago I had zero Dead albums. Now I have 10... I mean on one hand I do not need 11. But on the other hand, currently Dead albums make up 1.9999999 percent of my record collection, can't have that can we? CMOOOON 2%!

 

[Andy]

Yes. It's brilliant

I've never listened to Grateful Dead. They have so much stuff I never really new where to jump in. Is this the Dead album I should get?
