It's still a work in progress so hopefully it will be better once it is fully launched! I'm not getting too worked up about things yet.

That could also mean that it's limited to 2000 units. That's not super limited for VMP's standard, but still limited.
If it’s just a basic reissue then I’m assuming it will be something like the Mariah Carey release. 10k or more.

I really hope this is the case! I hope it’s not numbered like Mariah Carey and I want this Fiona Apple VMP exclusive have +10.000 copies!

That’s OK with me! No biggie, because the vinyl will still have the same estimated shipping date!
Cannot wait for this blockbuster release too!!!
This doesnt surprise me but I'm happy they delay are are delaying the drops instead of trying to push them through while the migration continues.
I think their only big mistake here was underestimating how long a migration takes place and either shutting down the website while it went on, or sending out an email to the customer base.
"Underpromise and Overdeliver" is a basic of a client-centric business but VMPs greatest strength is again its greatest weakness, its clearly run entirely by Music Lovers not Business Professionals.

In the meantime, I still don't show an active account. But at least my billing information has converted over. Gives me a little hope.
And this entire time I have only seen one "pardon our dust" style message.

Kind of insane that they expect customers to be ready at any time, by following them on Reddit (?), for a store drop. Makes no sense not to close the store and just delay till a specified time when the store is actually expected to be ready.
Exactly. Unless the pressing numbers are high for Grimes and Moses, they will sell out quickly. It isn’t the end of the world missing out but I still kind of want that Moses Sumney one at the very least.

When FOMO is your business model, then people are going to shit on you when your store does not work 100%

Cause on Thanksgiving weekend they'll be too busy fielding questions about why people are still waiting for their Charlie Brown Christmas record

Excited for the delay to cause Moses to randomly drop in the middle of the night and us international folk miss out on it.

Well, that would mean they are thinking about customers first. Never forget that VMP in 2019 is a true "customer last" company in every aspect.
They don't care about informing anyone or doing anything as promised. They keep us on the hook by putting out just enough great stuff that inspires people to stick around to see what's next. But I feel they are wearing a lot of customers thin.

They can do whatever they want because you nerds will just keep buying records no matter how much they abuse you.

So, since I don’t keep up with VMP, but I got drawn into the thread by @Lee Newman, could someone explain to me what’s going on with Fiona? What’s supposed to drop? Just want to know so I can start looking elsewhere for it.
