Mines been TForce for quite a while. I've never had an issue with them. Not sure why the change since it pre dates Covid for me. They're are no duties etc...

Mine just switched to TForce on my last two months' shipments. Had always been Canada Post before - except one time it was UPS and I never got it so they had to resend (based on my history with and loathing of UPS, this wasn't a surprise). Heck, my first VMP shipment was delivered on a Sunday(!!) during the early days of the pandemic and their attempts to stay on top of things.

So far my experience with TForce has been great, other than it meaning a couple less chats with my Postee, whom I quite like.

This is a foreign concept to me. I assumed all of Canada got mail delivered to community mail boxes and interaction with mail people is little to none.

I'm in a 70s building with post boxes, but we get buzzed for packages and a pickup notice that requires a trip to Shoppers Drug Mart the next day if we miss the buzz. But I'm pretty sure even the houses in our area are not on super boxes (yet!)

I love that Billie. I've heard some folks complain about some pops or warps, but mine was fine. Wonderful record, enjoyable press.

Yeah, I had pop/skip issues on two copies before VMP just refunded me rather than give me a third copy. I recently replaced my cartridge so I'm gonna go back and re-listen to them to see if there might be any improvement. The record overall is very quiet, which probably makes those occasional defects all the more noticeable, unfortunately.

I have to admit that her music has never captivated me as much as others on the London jazz scene (although I did enjoy her Walrus EP).

Maybe this will be the one to fully engage me, either way I'm just thrilled to see companies like VMP shining light on the UK/London scene.

At $1 more than the add-on I removed yesterday, this was a no-brainer for me!

Be curious to hear your thoughts once it drops.

Really? No way man, door to door mail... Although the posties rotate so I don't really know my guy super well.

I can always tell when my regular Postie is away (like today, in fact, as I look out the window to see the van) because the other people must do the route in reverse, as they arrive in the morning, rather than the afternoon

Oh I hate that trip to shoppers. Thankfully now it either gets delivered to my door or community mailbox unless it requires a signature or duties, which is rarely.

I passed on the VMP release but will certainly listen to the album when it drops. Seems to be a fusion of sorts with a mix of different genres thrown in. The sample track didn't blow me away personally but I imagine it will be a great album all the same!

I'm the same, but I ordered the VMP on the basis I could cancel later after hearing more of the album. It doesn't get released until July.

The only problem is I did that with a few other pre-orders & forgot about them until they get sent out.
 
If you use a code at Fat Possum, you get Spiritualized for 29 shipped in the USA.

Discounts : $-6.00 USD

And faster than VMP in most cases. I'd rather get it direct from the label.

In non-Saba shitshow news, I just got an email officially confirmed Floating Points/Pharoah Sanders is delayed to May, which I noticed had changed on my orders page a week or so ago.

Orders page now has it at mid-June. :\

Reminder that this was originally meant to come out in mid-April, which was even then several weeks later than its release elsewhere.

Weirdest one (to me) was getting a shipping notice for Matthew Dear, an album with a street date of June 25th

Ha! I knew something like this was coming

"We’re gonna fess up...we’ve sent you a package by mistake, and it includes a record that is soon to be released.

An artist chooses a release date based on so many factors, many of which can be near and dear to their hearts. We ask that you keep this in mind when you receive your copy.

You’re one of the lucky few to get it early, so please respect the artist’s wishes and keep this one to yourself until the designated release date. If you can handle it, maybe even wait until the release date to give it the first spin!

We sincerely appreciate your understanding and hope that you’ll honor the artist’s wishes!"
