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

Well, I just got a shipping notice for my replacement Black Sabbath – replacing the one that never showed up at all 14 months ago. Which is awesome. But also surprising since they canceled and refunded it months ago.

enjoy your new Tennis album

Anyone else getting fake VMP (or I presume fake) liquidation adverts on Facebook? Not a good look if the scammers have picked up the scent...

It’s a pretty dumb scam when the url doesn’t exist.

Paulie was posting about this on Reddit. It’s definitely a scam and they are trying to get the ads taken down.

They gave it away with using "vinyls"

Cause they’re known for their mastery of the English language?

So what's the play then? Like why?

 

[Urbs_hott]

hearing that some canadian folks are being hit with fees even on replacements as the records are being marked as full price....

Yeahhhhh this happened to me as well. Have you heard how CS is addressing this by any chance? They also sent me an album that I didn’t order at all by mistake recently, which I had to pay duties on and they refused to reimburse me.

Looks like it’s another month of swapping for credit :/

I don’t know. Also @Bohnjaggs post on his profile has a link that takes you to an extension of the domain that works but the domain takes you to a server can’t connect…

it's probably just done by some troll who is mad that they missed out on something for TBT or some shit. i would guess that the "going out of business" thing is probably what they are wanting to spread around vs trying to make some actual money off of it.

edit: i do see that you can actually purchase stuff on the site...so they are just trying to steal money via scammin hah.

They’re saying that they haven’t covered duties for two years so good luck. However, in your case - I would take to the discord and hit Paulie or Dan da lion up.

If you select credit does it hit your account instantly?

Nah. Like on the third or some shit.

It hits whenever charges process. I think it’s the first of the month? But may be a day or two later

Good to know. I'll probably use it on one of the classics or essentials pre-orders. I'm going to roll the dice on a 3 month, March through May

I've swapped for credit the past two months and it hits pretty quickly after the first of the month.
