Right! I have renewed my 6 months membership 4 times without any lapses plus I don't think I ever received less than 3 records in a shipment. sometimes as many 10-12. Being an avid music lover and collector I will still buy from them if they are offering something amazing but I won't buy from them out of convenience or loyalty going forward.
I hope it isn't their pick only because I don't like them sourcing out their picks for other clubs. An indie variant is fine but make getting it from SS mean something rather than just another variant out there. This is my opinion and I have shared it directly with them. Feel free to disagree as I am biased because I still am buying from VMP and don't want to double up either.
Just fucking vinyl me already, please? So we can both get on with our lives.
agree totally.
What they just did is admit that their Phoenix double dipping excuse was a lie. "Production timelines require us to place orders 3-4 months ahead of a particular record being released." Which means, they would have been required to place their order for the Phoenix AOTM at the time they put it in the store.
Yeah, I don't know why they don't say what's really happening. I bet they just have a store team, and an exclusives/rotm team that work independently of each other for the most part. It's common in big companies, but I don't feel like they are big enough for that excuse really. Moving loads of records, but probably still less then 30 employees total I imagine.
Someone mentioned how many employees they have. I think it was Matt what would you do with more time F. It was between 30 and 50. Which is definitely small enough to know what is going on. But also - even if they had 500, their business is selling records. They should be able to communicate within departments on which records they are selling.
Same here. It helps not having a direct link to the store in the forum. Kind of disconnects the pathways in the brain to treat the forum and the store as one and the same.
