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

My Fiona has been sitting in a postal centre 65 miles away since 7 o'clock Monday morning, so I can't comment just yet. Supposedly she started moving again an hour ago, so hopefully tomorrow. Even more excited after reading @yukbon's praise above.

Also the color is so, so gorgeous. The only complaint is they could have splurged on the packaging, liner notes or gatefold or whatever, and they didn't. The original also didn't have that though, so nbd IMHO. But it's flat and pretty and sounds perfect.

Can anyone speak to the pressing quality of Saba, Fiona, or John Mayer? Between those three and need to pick one

Saw someone here say Saba sounds absolutely incredible

Saba does sound great. Highly recommend.

So I bought a couple records during the sale. Figured they will wait to ship them with the ROTM in December since that is what I indicated for my shipping. Nope. I got shipping notice for 1 record on Monday and just got shipping notice for the other this morning. 2 different tracking numbers. This why their records are so pricey, we all have to pay for their fulfillment incompetence

So weird. Essentials and Classics shipped separately and mormor says in stock but hasn't shipped

Personally, they've been bundling pretty well for me. My preorder (Fiona) got shipped on its own, but that's usually what happened. They put all my TBT titles with my ROTM and my sale titles haven't shipped yet. I expect them with this month's pick.

Just strange how it's so different for different people.

As somebody who has worked many types and angles of logistics through years and presently, this shit drives me absolutely bonkers. It so short-sighted and unnecessary!!

I was in no way serious. It happens.

Oh I know, I am just a constant apologist. I apologize for stuff that is my fault and a lot of times about stuff that isn't my fault.

You should've been born Canadian.

My Muddy Waters order shipped today. Every time you place an order a dice is rolled, if you roll a 1 it ships bundled, if 2-6 then it's YOLO-shipped.

Man, VMP's famed customer service is pretty silent after asking why we paid $239 for an anthology that's SUPPOSED to be $167 according to their own email.

Give it a day or two or pop into the discord. I'm sure they'll fix that from the sounds of it.

Yeah, I'm going to try and be patient. Just so weird that they just suddenly jacked up the price by $50 when the sale was supposed to still be going. Not a small amount when you consider conversion rate too.

EDIT: I will definitely rage though if they offer me store credit instead of a partial refund.

If the email clearly says what the sale is/how long I think you'll be fine. I imagine there's a lot of emails post Thanksgiving they're catching up on is all

Email said Anthologies on sale this week only (on Tuesday) with Vanguard at $167. Bought at $239 on Friday. No official end date on the email but it would be pretty shitty if the sale ended on say the Wednesday considering the email offered nothing specific as far as dates go.

They really need to clean up their communications at the end of the day. Even if the sale was over they should honor that price.

I think you'll be good! Hope I'm right

So they've offered $72 in store credit. What the actual fuck.

I'm asking them to convert it into membership credits instead if they're unwilling to refund the difference.

I'd ask for the refund. My guess is they try to keep the credits first but they fucked up so probably worth pushing
