So...I decided to pry a bit and ask their social media coordinator what the deal was with deleting comments.

She said, and I quote: "it escalated on socials so quickly that we decided to temporarily disable comments in order to focus our time on responding to the emails and tickets in the queue"

Which, of course, makes no sense whatsoever

"We panicked"

Is it bad that Hateful Eight is the only Tarantino movie that I really enjoy?

Come on now!

I'm loving the downvotes I am getting for pointing out the obvious.

Except you aren't actually saying anything worth reading

They are definitely declaring full price on orders. Internationals get cancelling

To me, this is a deal breaker as it makes VMP no longer affordable. If this happens, I'm out

I don't even have anything to contribute. This shit is just wild lol.

Isn't it illegal for them not to? I know that's a common practice on private party international shipments, but I assume it's a big time NO NO for a company to lie about the value.

Prior to this, if it’s across the board, they’ve been declaring each record as $1.

Not even your devilishness could devise such entertaining chaos

Interesting, I just wonder what the legality of that is.

Yes! I think I fell asleep 12 hours into that 48 hour film...

Its likely not legit.

Not original. I had an employee who either:

A. Had six grandmothers that died.

Or

B. Had 2 grandmothers that died a total of 6 times.

The yarn dyer had told a group of people missing yarn from her that she actually died for 10 minutes!

Do you have a bingo yet?

Somebody make a VMP Bingo with all their excuses on it and post it to Reddit. It will drive them into a frenzy I would but I’m talentless with stuff like that

I can’t wait for “Sock Puppet!”

Sock puppet is when you create a new account on the board and go hard on defending the company/person that is not doing what they are supposed to

haha! I was hoping for an actual sock puppet. Maybe they’d sell a series with each ROTM artist having their own!

It would make sense that someone knits an actual sock puppet.

Same. Though Canada Post often doesn't charge even when the price is indicated (I never get dinged for my TMR Vaults for example and those have the value marked). I'm definitely out if I get an added charge because they mark the full price (plus they shouldn't mark the entire cost anyway, because some of that is the shipping we pay as part of the extra International price and not the product).

He hasn't been active on reddit in over a year, and he hasn't done a single mod action since giving me mod access three years ago. FWIW though, the mod team and I are currently in the process of talking with the Reddit admins about getting him removed. It should be fairly simple since A.) he hasn't been on Reddit in years, and B.) he's an employee of VMP, and it's technically against reddit rules to be a mod of a subreddit dedicated to a company you work for. And if he tries to log back on and censor anything, that'll just speed up the process of him getting removed, and any action he takes can be reversed (also you can't really delete a subreddit so that option is out)

UPDATE 12/17/20

We have shipped approximately 70% of December orders. The warehouse is continuing to work overtime to get shipments out as quickly as possible. We anticipate being caught up in the next 7 - 10 days, if not sooner.

My Fiona Apple has shipped. Fully declared price. Likely £10+ customs fees. If you have multiple deliveries could be £10+each time, would be less with a single charge. Check here internationalshttp://parcelsapp.com/en/tracking
