I keep thinking that we must have reached an end to the insanity, but VMP continues to double down on their own stupidity.

With the broken embargo records I'm almost sympathetic; it's a shambles but if the warehouse is under pressure to get stuff out then I can see how they're just looking at the list, putting records in the box and getting it out.

However...it does come back to poor stock management in the first place - if the system was working then the packers would have the right pick lists and the embargoed records would stay on their shelf until their time.

Every shipment of things like that that I've ever seen comes in boxes that make it VERY clear what the street date is. But I don't disagree that the warehouse workers have been put in an impossible situation by those higher up the chain making TERRIBLE decisions on a daily basis.

VMP is also probably pressuring them to ship out as much as possible as quickly as possible since they are so far behind.

"hey warehouse workers, we're going to need you to work around the clock during this Christmas time. But don't worry, we are going to order you some pizzas, on us!" - VMP, probably

I honestly don't remember and the page is long gone so no way to check unless someone remembers.

I was just surprised to see no VMP treatment at all, not even a VMP hype sticker...like I said until I opened it and checked the colour I honestly thought they had just gone down to their local store and bought a bunch of regular copies to send out.

My Aretha album has been fulfilled with a tracking number last week and BB King was showing as fulfilled without a tracking number, so I assumed they were bundled together. Today the tracking number actually works with DHL tracking and the package is showing as 1.5lbs, so since they're both single LPs then that could still be true. If that's the case then my December order would be 100% fulfilled, but my November order(s) of another 15 albums would be 0% fulfilled.

The weight of my package was just updated to 2.37lbs, I guess DHL actually got the package now and weighted it themselves? Either way it looks like I'm getting a surprise
