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

Surprising that it is EU only, isn't that uncommon with Rhino releases? If I had that one and was happy with the sound, this would be a hard sell.

I have a mono original which I like, but it isn't dead quiet by any means, so I'll be getting this one and comparing.

but not here, I had a bit of a dig and it is Europe only, that is a bit odd for them!
 
Question - My account looks relatively ok. Address is right, membership looks right, orders are mostly right. Payment info though only lists a spot for a credit card. Is Paypal gone as an option, or is my account just messed up? Emailed CS about it, but I'm not counting on an answer anytime soon.

same situation as me i think a few others also mentioned similar situations and pretty much CS couldn't provide a answer.
 
I'm on month to month, and used to suspend my sub and re-up when titles got good again. I guess that's going to end.
I might just pass along titles I don't want for my cost plus shipping just to stay in for a while.

Now he's responding to people saying that he's not really involved in the day to day operations. He just writes articles

This is what drives me nuts. Whenever there's a hype driving or FOMO comment, he responds immediately to drive sales. When it's controversial or a negative context, he doesn't respond at all or says "its not my department". I get it, he doesn't do everything at VMP, but he picks and chooses what he decides to respond to.

It's also confusing as to why he's the only person that is active on the subreddit to begin with. If this is your main form of communication, you need more people from the staff on the subreddit.

That's the purpose of using a subreddit as the main form, though. They can play both sides and dismiss it as an unrelated 3rd party platform when they want to. The fact that they show up at all is met with undue praise. Not everyone seems to recognize that, but that might be changing.

It's always felt as if Storf's ego drives his interactions. What gets me is that they have so many subscribers and they rely on most of those people to simply never speak up. Not everybody is on reddit, or even understands how to use it. Those people still haven't recieved emails about ANYTHING. Think about how disgustingly over informed all of us nerds are, and we still never know what the hell is going on. Then, the only time the staff chimes in, they do one of two completely different things. Either they try and tell us that they don't know what's happening either and are in the dark, or they do the opposite and say they didn't feel it was important information to provide, while explaining how well thought out it's been with the purpose of it being to our benefit.

For me, it's always been about respect and acknowledgement. I don't like that people feel dismissed or that their concerns don't matter. Even when/if things were fine for me, I hate seeing people be shamed or silenced. Right now, the mob is turning.
 
Amazon price comparison - to buy the 3 records of the month from amazon.co.uk it’s £51 whereas I calculate it’s about £64 to get all 3 from VMP, and theirs are in nice colours. However if you buy from amazon France it’s £39 for all 3 AOTM. Also they will definitely refund you or replace if damaged. In saying that amazon are the devil themselves
 
When I click on Membership, I still get "We are currently upgrading our system!". The store asks me to join in order to get "more perks". I hadn't planned on buying anything additional from them, code or not, but this continued incompetence makes it even easier. They don't want my money!

It's Thanksgiving, so I wasn't expecting anything to get fixed today, but I may start leaving snarky comments on their Instagram or FB tomorrow. They shouldn't have launched any Exclusives, much less the Dec titles with limited days for swaps, if they couldn't get this figured out for everyone.

The last data migration I did was for a single (albeit mission critical) system, and I angered my boss with the continued delays, but a) the old system still worked well enough until the new one was ready, and, most important, b) I kept it in the sandbox for those additional 8 months until I could prove that there'd be no data loss or malfunctioning updates in the new Production environment.
