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

Last week before Christmas. Predictions on progress this week?

For my 14 orders I'm expecting max of 2 shipping notifications, 0 CS responses, and 1 update from VMP that is only posted on their FAQ (that most people dont know exists) and really gives no new info.

So Friday update on my predictions.
I have ZERO shipping notifications, though 2 labels created, one of which is assigned to TLC so that could change.
0 CS responses though Amy was awesomely able to help me out with fixing my billing issue problem I’ve been waiting on a response for from CS for 4 weeks.
And 1 update from VMP that gave no new info BUT they did sent it out to people this time.

So overall, about as awful week from them as I expected. But slightly better than last week?
 
So, still no shipping for me, but more fuel to the fire! Now all my outstanding orders that I haven't cancelled say "ships with your next record of the month". That includes 2 albums I paid shipping for explicitly so I didn't have them try to bundle with RotMs and make me wait longer. My December RotM's also have this message, so I'm not sure if they're now telling me my December albums would be shipped with January (which I've cancelled my renewal for).



What the fuck.

Big bad bazooka tooth, here to break bread. You spin it yet? Curious to know how it sounds. I am so eager to see how these El-P reissues pan out. I've come close to buying a copy of Funcrusher Plus on Discogs, but in light of the recent announcement, gonna wait to see if the reissue campaign extends to the CoFlow stuff as well.

its flat but used, i expect it to sound a bit better after cleaning it. it has seen better days but im glad i finally own this on vinyl. also i paid less than a vmp record would cost me. i highly doubt funcrusher plus vmp will happen though.

What the fuck.

All six of my unshipped records also now say "ships with your next record of the month"...including Aretha, my December ROTM.

It seemed pretty intentional that the announcement specified El-P solo albums, but I also hope that's wrong.

I'm getting the same message for 4 of my 5 orders. So like you I'm wondering if those records will only ship with January's ROTM now at which time my membership will be up for renewal and I have no intention of renewing whatsoever. FAWK!
 
My credits are all gone too.......😱🤦‍♂️

Yeah my 3 all say ships with your next record of the month and I was planning on cancelling for January unless I figure out a swap I really want. I haven't sent any emails yet because you guys made it clear that is worthless.

So, if I cancel, will they charge me shipping?
 
I have two theories about the “shipping with next month’s order” thing, both totally speculative:

1. They’re getting things set up for next week’s announcement and flipped the switch on something. Just like everything else it’s half assed and shouldn’t be taken as gospel.

2. They’re getting ready to leave on vacation for the rest of the year and after today if your record hasn’t shipped it won’t go out until after the new year. Happy holidays!


Obviously I’d prefer 1 over 2, but who the fuck knows. The real reason is probably a lot dumber than we think.

Most likely number 2.
