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

They need to put on their big boy pants and hire some temps to get this done. This problem is so much bigger than a ROTM. If they staffed up with seasonal workers (like every other online retail company) they could be packing boxes literally 24/7.

They use a 3rd part logistics company that could probably clear any backlog in days. Saddle Creek ain’t the problem. Saddle Creek doesn’t know what to ship to who.

Hot take?

VMP mailers are better than 99% of all other mailers I recieve from online orders.

I always keep them, and have never had one issue with damage when selling on Discogs with them. Of course I ship with the sleeve outside of the record, but I find them to be rather perfect..

Any corner ding I've ever had from VMP never effected the whole package, just one record (clearly before it left the warehouse)

Oh, I think Bullmoose mailers are head and shoulders above VMP - whenever I get 2-3 records from VMP I get 6-10 corner dings. Acoustic Sounds packs their records like a tank, and Amoeba always does a great job of packing up records (bubble wrap and corner protection)

Ugh, email to CS time. After the migration, I checked my account and my address details were wrong (old address, I haven't lived there in months). I quickly changed it there knowing that shipments would go out shortly after and if I fixed it, there wouldn't be any problems.

Well, my package just went out, guess what address they shipped it to? Since they are so backed up, I'm guessing I won't get a response/fix until it's too late. I'm hoping to catch it in Informed Delivery, but then there is a charge for package intercept.

Update on this. My USPS tracking info updated, it's delivering to my actual address. VMP is still showing my old address so let's hope that is just an error on their side.

Another update. Something happened when mine went out for delivery and only shows as "Forwarded". I thought that maybe they went to deliver to my old address, then realized they needed to forward to my new address, since that is still turned on. Except...

I haven't had an update in a week and my package was in my town. I randomly checked my VMP account today and saw that there is ANOTHER order with a different tracking number that is in process with USPS (same record). I never got an email about a new shipment, but I have been getting the other CS mass emails. My working theory is that when they didn't deliver it to my house, they just sent it back to Saddle Creek and now they are preparing to send it again? On the off chance it's just sitting at my post office, I'm going to head over there tomorrow to see if they have it. I'm also still waiting in the CS queue for them to answer my question from a few weeks back.

The saga continues.

Ditto about Acoustic Sounds. I’ve received orders from them that were triple boxed. Double boxing is standard for them.

Elusive Disc and Music Direct also pack very well.
 
I would love to get into Colemine! I love their range. Knowing that Colemine pack their records magnificently only makes me wish I could immerse myself in their store even more!

Vinyl Me, Please is my #1 pick for being part of a vinyl club. If international shipping was not an issue, Colemine Records would be my #2 pick and Light In The Attic my #3 pick. MoFI would be more #4 pick and Fatbeats would be #5!

Secretly Society is the only other vinyl company that works well with international shipping/membership as any add-on purchases ship for free! But I don’t care for their range that much at all unfortunately.
 
My Fiona and BB King are fulfilled and there are two pre-shipment tracking numbers from Harrisburg, NC so that's them.

Unfulfilled as to Aretha and the restock purchases of Madlib, HBMS, and Sonny Rollins.

Enough progress that I'll wait through the holidays on pushing my options, but I dont believe the 70% number at all.

It's weird I have nothing fulfilled that I didn't already get and have a pre-shipment tracking from them.
