I reckon getting my Nonesuch orders is in pure coin toss territory at this point.Things do not seem well at all in VMP land judging by the radio silence on the Discord!

Yep. I have toussaint and black keys preordered. Also have the love supreme and fela boxes. All were paid for in credit so it’s not like I’ll get real money back if I cancel so I’m leaving the orders and hoping for the bestI reckon getting my Nonesuch orders is in pure coin toss territory at this point.
Anyone who paid up for Love Supreme or Blue Note has to be feeling a bit nervous at the minute.Yep. I have toussaint and black keys preordered. Also have the love supreme and fela boxes.

Yea I would have cancelled ALS if it wasn’t paid for with referral credit. Not feeling great about the prospects. And wouldn’t have anything in stock to get with the credit anyway.Anyone who paid up for Love Supreme or Blue Note has to be feeling a bit nervous at the minute.
Pretty sure most of my nonesuch orders were swaps for credit from my monthly so I’d still technically paid for them. Just need to work out if the value is less than the Impulse box they sent by mistake to work out if I’m down or not.
i don't know about general view, but things sure seem to point toward cash flow issues. plants have capacity now so year long delays don't make sense, especially on stuff like Black Sabbath which already has plates cut. we also know VMP has said things are tough financially themselves and they are trying to "right the ship".Is the general view that preorders are getting pushed because they don’t have the funds to pay that plants want before they’ll release them?
if it ships in mid december, i'll buy and eat a VMP hat.I have only the Fela, but paid with cash. It still says Mid-December. Any further delays and I’ll cancel.
swaps for credit is still money you spent though haha. i get that you'd just get credit in return most likely but...Just had a look and my actual cash outlay on the 5 Nonesuch I’ve on pre-order is $75 and the rest was swaps for credit.
So it’s trying to work out if leaving the order live is equivalent to putting the money on a random horse…. or if it’s more like sticking it a paper bag, pissing on it and then launching it into the sea.
Which might just cover my shipping costs for a dinked Lapsey as I’m international non grataswaps for credit is still money you spent though haha. i get that you'd just get credit in return most likely but...
Yes, the last update on this was in September. I am not optimistic.if it ships in mid december, i'll buy and eat a VMP hat.
maybe you might consider taking this off . i get that it´s a public insta story, but feel uncortable replicating someone elses ( who is not in this forum) personal struggles hereYes, the last update on this was in September. I am not optimistic.

I thought it was originally supposed to be January, but as it's November it just looks that much worse.March 25

as for why storf and paul have been absent from discord, storf is taking a bit of a break from the discord because his mom is in hospice 300 miles away from him and dying. paulie was really sick and also has had personal stuff going on that he didn't want to get into. he's also been just really busy with CS, work, etc. they seemed genuine about it and i don't blame storf for taking a break from the server mentally. he was also close friends with Cam and that whole thing got real fucked up with the lawsuit (he didn't say this directly but has hinted at it before).Hey @MikeH anything of interest in the Pauly chat?
