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

It’s a Christmas miracle. So my order was canceled because it oversold. I was pissed. I sent a strongly worded frustrated email to Matt (CEO) and expressed my discontent. He wrote back and said he is willing to send me his copy he had on his desk. No strings attached. He kept his word. It didn’t go through the VMP system either. It was shipped from a Walgreens in Denver. He must have brought it to FedEx himself.

He also said this isn’t something that can always happen for every situation, and I understand that. As frustrated as I am with VMP this eased the sting for me, personally. But I do feel awful for anyone else who is in the same boat.

Can you as a legal expert phrase an email we can send as mass over this mislabelling and customs charge? If everyone affected sends the same one it might get them to, you know, actually be proactive about one of their problems.

Fiona a good album to end it on. And this is the end. For international members

in terms of the volte face and the real value declarations we don’t have a leg to stand on. What they were doing before was fraudulent, even if it was to our benefit. As to declaring the “value” as opposed to the price paid I’ll have a think about it. Big job interview in the morning to I’m going to bed now but I’ll have a look at it in the next few days.
 
Me: Hey VMP! Did you ship my stuff yet?

VMP: No! (((excuses)))

Was your parcel posted in the current clusterfuck cycle? See my prior photo for details.

Yeah it was the Stones so it was basically during this shit show, but still early days I suppose... Well, now I actually hope everything ships individually... Otherwise I am so hosed. Had anyone had any luck cancelling remaining months of their subscription and actually getting money back?

Would they put a value of zero if it's a replacement? Technically, one of the two records is worthless.

That's what I thought, crazy they were declaring $1 before.

This is a really nice gesture from Matt.

This storm is turning out to spell a very rough Christmas for a lot of employees, the CEO isn't exempt from that either.

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

Not in the slightest. Hateful Eight certainly has some great moments. I just personally think some of his other flick have more. One of the reasons I love his movies is that his movies work as a collection of scenes. The best have snappy, humerus dialogue and slowly ratchets up the tension to a fever pitch. I enjoy individual scenes in each of his films more than any specific film as a whole.
 
Just catching up on this thread........god damn. Doesnt help that I placed an order for a Townes Van Zandt album which was missing from my collection just a couple hours before I read all this.

If I eventually get a package and get hit with customs then im out. It goes from being an affordable luxury to high end. With that being said, I did receive my copy of John Coltrane - Blue World last week and didn't get hit with it.
