That's half way and it's taken 4-5 days, if you do the math and your surname starts with Z, Nov 26 might be a tough day for you

Nope, last name starts with A. So unless they are going backwards and literally entering each person by hand..

Gonna have to agree with Tender here. Memberships are clearly updating across the board, lets just take a deep breath here and enjoy some music. These types of things are going to happen when you migrate a website and all of its data to a different platform. They’re obviously working on it, my membership info was blank for days and as of yesterday it’s not. Even in the case of it not updating in time for Wednesday they’re aware of how many subscribers they have for each track and can (usually) plan accordingly for that. No need to make a mountain out of an anthill here.

Man... $24 USD for the Late Bollinger EP. That's a lot for 6 tracks.
Of course there's $14 for shipping to Canada too.
Hope this gets an additional release because that's just stupid.

So you don’t want any other vinyl from then Vinyl Me, Please store? You can sign up, maybe for even one month, and grab a past ROTM. Then, for only $46 including shipping (2 x $23) you can grab another two past ROTM’s!
I’m sure even Kate Bollinger’s EP will be in the swaps section, meaning you can add it for $23 + free shipping!

It all went something like this.....
Initially they had a company meeting with the CEO, other top execs, and the IT people. Exec 1 spoke first saying that a decision had been made to “migrate to a new system in 3 days.”
The IT staff started to object, “What? When did this come up? Your pulling the plug on the old system we have used for years in 3 days without giving anyone in IT any warning? Just as one of our biggest releases ever is set to drop?”
CEO looks over at IT. Sounding kind of frustrated he says simply, “What would you do with more time anyway?”

I know you mean wel, but tgere is no option tosign up to vmp for a month anymore, so you have to sign ip for at least three months for 108$ internationally.

Ah damn! And that’s not cheap either, especially if you’re mainly in it for only one particular record!
I’ve paid US$15 for shipping one record as well. I paid US$15+ just for shipping recently for Poppy, Ariana Grande and Michael Kiwanuka. I was like “ugh” but I just really wanted it and I’m doing well with money (like I don’t have any responsibilities)
But yeah, US$39 for an EP is....just too much. Only EP I’d pay that much would be the VMP Moses Sumney

Just a quick comment, the smart way to have done it would have been to build the new platform, copy the current database to it, get the new platform COMPLETELY functional, then shut down new orders for 24 hours, take another copy of the data base, load it to the new platform while shut down for 24 hours and then redirect the URL to the new platform at the end of the 24 hour shut down................but what do I know?
EDIT: Before someone gets their undies in a bunch, this is the fundamental outline of doing this, yes, there's a bit more involved, but it's been done and I've done it multiple times with larger companies. So I'm sticking to my comment

Is PayPal no longer an option for payment source on the new platform? None of my payment info is there, and it only allows for a credit card to be entered.

Yes. Your response is exactly correct. I was being sarcastic after a long pleasurable night in the music room. And maybe one to many adult beverages. It’s easy for me to sit back and criticize from a distance.
You on the other hand lay out the basic fundamentals on migrating a mission critical IT system to a new platform.

Edit: I think your comment was spot on by the way

I asked the same thing - someone said it’ll pop up when you go to pay. The buyer protection is a nice feature and I similarly don’t prefer to enter CC info if necessary.
