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

VMP didn't want to miss out on boarding this train(wreck). Quote from the article:
One record — artist and title not shown — currently listed for $23.38 will have a new price of $41 next month, an increase of 57%. Another listed for $29.90 will set you back at least $51, an increase of 58%.
 
The two most annoying things now about the price increase are that old banked credit is worth less (a one month swap doesn’t cover a record anymore) and they raised prices after saying that everything is being pressed at GZ until the VMP plant is open.

MAYBE I’ll eventually rejoin if the VMP plant joins the ranks of QRP, RTI, Pallas in terms of quality and the curation gets better. But raising the price after saying you need to start using a lesser plant to plate and press records is kinda crappy.
 
Why is their graphic designer involved in supply chain logistics? Am I missing something here? Maybe thats why they can’t bundle shipping? The graphic design guy has been sending the warehouse pretty artwork of bundled shipping and they just don’t get it?
They did say on discord the other day that it’s actually cheaper for VMP to not bundle shipping. Which is the screwed up state of shipping these days…but sending MORE packages means better volume shipping rate for them apparently
 
Anybody a graphic designer?

Looked at this yesterday and the funny thing is that with the lower end of the salary for the job, you probably couldn’t afford to be a VMP member.
