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

“Hey, it’d be nice if y’all communicated more.”

If we hadn’t been specific, I would say we should have been more direct in our request.

I received invoices with a $0 value. Weird that they send an invoice with the real value when you (re) and then another $0 invoice every month.

Maybe are they planning to sell sell the company and want to show potential buyers that they have tons of subscribers...

There is also about a 900% chance that if any business could fall prey to a phishing scam it’s VMP

Yeah this was my line of thought lol

Those links are just generated from their SMS service. Not a scam

I’ve never gotten this before so just don’t understand why they are starting to do it now. Insane

A few weeks ago I got a text saying it was VMP and they were moving to a new number for text alerts and ever since then they’ve been texting me almost every day at all times for random things (pretty much any time I look at a record listing and don’t buy it they’ll text me a few hours later asking if I’ll buy it, etc.)

I think we’re just encountering unintended texts and emails that are a result of having their automated settings being much more aggro than it used to be.

As an aside I also got a member cancellation email… but I didn’t think anything of it because my subscription ended without renewal

it says i paid 24 or so bucks for the VMP ROTM I paid 200 bucks to get 6 months of... it doesn't show up on the card though so that's weird

 

[duke86fan]

ok so apparently they just added some email things and VMP didn't realize it would make people think they were overcharged.. the 20 dollars or so is the division of the VMP 6 month sub, and the texts are normal but pls stop them

edit: also shipping in october apparently.

some more info. paragon series is done after this month. some of the albums they had planned will be future ROTMs instead. This month's release is gonna be the last one in the series though. The Sonidos series is also changing direction and the Barretto Hard Hands drop is paused. Sonidos will continue this summer with a different label (Puerto Rican label).

Ah so Magic Potion is cancelled?

nope! all the titles announced will still move forward. they are just ending it early/shifting some things to ROTM instead I believe.

 

[MikeH]

And looking like the Carolina Chocolate Drops will be a ROTM instead of the paragon series.

This really irritates me for some reason. Reminds me of Album Circle using the sub to offload things that weren't selling well for them. It makes me as a consumer feel like a chump even if it's albums I want.
