What are the odds VMP goes under this year?

I'd like to know when a media entity will dig in and report on orders going unfulfilled for close to a year in the case of some releases and expose the state of the entire operation. Generally, when someone orders something and a year later, has no idea if/when they'll receive it, you begin hearing words used like "fraud" or something similar.

They are doing a lot of the things Bandbox did before they went under that’s for sure.

When they bring out the deeply discounted gift cards, run

*preorders going unfulfilled. I don’t think the media particularly cares about maybe a few hundred people who ordered some records and haven’t gotten them yet

They bought some time with the plant closing but now it’s just excuse after excuse that really just don’t add up. Apparently Warner doesn’t have anybody working in December to release the albums VMP ordered I doubt I’ll see the ALS box at this point.

Yeah I agree with @MikeH I just don’t think they’re big enough fry unless it’s something local in Denver or specifically physically released music related.

Been pondering cancelling my nonesuch orders. The issue is there is only $71.60 cash in there. The other $156 is in VMPbux and by the time I add whatever crazy arsed shipping cost they put on there for internationals and, at that value, customs I’m erring towards waiting it out till April…. or never which appears the other delivery timeframe they are working to.

Canny shit situation this. And my order will be a drop in the vast ocean of VMP inspired sadness in comparison to others out there

I still have five items awaiting shipment. As an international customer who is no longer a member, and who is in a country they no longer ship to, my only choice is to wait it out. The last of the five is pending in May, but I am fully expecting to wait longer.

Solidarity brother!

Bit annoyed to be honest. Aside from the Black Keys, which I think would be nice to have, the other four in the set are albums I’m actually excited to have so it kinda sucks sitting around wondering if I ever will… like a year after ordering them.

From this point on pre-orders are from my local only. Aside from that if I can’t get it in hand it’s not being bought. VMP is dishing out the tough life lessons for fun.

Now that my sub ended how do I see how much store credit I have?

for store credit, just put something in your cart and you should be able to see how much is left on the slider. for member credit you have to message CS annoyingly...

This was me a few months ago - I ended up emailing CS as @MikeH said to get an exact amount of store credit and member credit. At least I have it in writing now from them!
