Keep your eyes out for new drops each week.
We have some sardines that dropped (on the floor last week). We'll be selling those as "vintage" toppings next week!

No refunds or replacements for damaged toppings. Those aren't really NECESSARY and you should expect them to get banged up.

I've kind of picked up the feeling that its not their call. Whether it's waiting on Fiona approval, or its in partnership with another company.

They are really good at creating FOMO. They're waiting for Fiona to announce her new album, and they'll be selling both in some sort of combo before it's widely available.

Think about the value of a record that only 6 people can get their hands on.
At this point they've created the FONS
Fear Of Never Shipping.
And it's not cool
"Eyyyy! Where's my shit?"

That is insane. I truly do not understand any decisions they are making. At this point they must be shelling out thousands in additional shipping fees by not boxing things together. Seems like a key point of their profit margins. Is this happening for international orders too? How much money does a software tool have to cost the company before they scrap it?

I was thinking the same thing. Although given how long it's taken for my copy of Charlie Brown Christmas to travel across one single state, I suspect they're sending a lot of these out via media mail which might save them a bit compared to FedEx or Priority.
No idea on international orders, though. That has to be killing them.

Here's the thing though - you'd think (if anyone there had a brain) that knowing the issues their system is having that they'd be doing manual checks on whether the order they're packing has other components or not.

Was pleased to see my VMP dumpster fire anigif out in the wild on Twitter today.

I mean, even if it only cost 2 cents more to send two boxes, they still have to pay for 2 boxes. And then do that a few thousand time in a month, that can still be more than the cost of a couple employees.
And given their inability to plan, what if VMP runs out of boxes? I wouldn't put it passed them at this point. I can see it now "Um, hey everyone. We ran out of boxes due to blah blah not our fault. We're doing another raffle if you can carefully open boxes and send them back.
Yup, you'd think so. Honestly the best thing they could do right now is pause all marketing, and show all the execs stuffing boxes in the warehouse with an announcement. Even if they said something like everyone will have a shipping notice by Christmas, I think showing actual people picking up the slack would buy them a lot of human understanding.

They probably lost the shipment. Or it was accidentally delivered to the McDonald's down the road. Or they shipped every copy to Halo 2 and asked them to sell them all.
