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

So for those of you that were told that Run DMC was out of replacements, Tyler just put in an order for my replacement copy. Might be worth opening another ticket just to try your luck. I won't hold my breath that one actually comes through and I have it in my hands, but this just goes to show you that stock numbers are meaningless.

I suspected as much. I'm sure they have Aretha replacements too. But they just straight up lie about the numbers.

Yeah, every time I place an order I don't get it for 2 months.

...but no the site is working for me on Chrome just fine

That's not helpful

That's not helpful

yeah but

the site is working for me on Chrome just fine

 

[NewsFedora]

Is anyone else having issues with the VMP website? Ever since they moved to the "new platform" it won't load on Chrome.

May want to look at your ad-blocker or other settings. It's loaded fine for me in Chrome.

Nice, they of course told me they were out of QOTSA replacements, refunded me. Glad to see the consistency continues...

When VMP reaches out to dangle your most wanted release in front of you...

 

[Dukes]

Are there any active coupon codes?

 

[JonnyH]

That's just shady as fuck. So they willingly cancelled the shit they knew they couldn't deliver, but refused to do so for stuff they had in stock but were incapable of shipping due to their system fuck up? Glad you started the paypal dispute. Hopefully they side with you and you get your funds back, too.

This type of behavior should be reported to the BBB, honestly.



A) might be a while B) you probably don't need to be a member to grab it when it does drop.

Alright quick poll: Everyone in here under the of 40- have you ever checked with the BBB before doing business with a company?

I received my Swing Lo Magellan today in Philadelphia.

Not that it's a big deal but it's interesting to note a misprint on the Swing Lo Magellan: the hype sticker and foil stamp list this erroneously as "Vinyl Me, Please Essentials" and not "Vinyl Me, Please Exclusive Pressing".

I've started the initial listing on Discogs here: Dirty Projectors - Swing Lo Magellan

So what? You’ll be leaving after you purchase the VMP exclusive for When The Pawn....?!?!

Do you not like VMP much anymore?

Love the product, when it’s on point, but dislike how they handle every incident.
Dislike the lack of communication and the seemingly favoritism of newer members, but even with that said, I’ll stick around until I’m shat on to a degree which I find intolerable.

As lame as this sounds it’s something to look forward to.
Just wish it was still run by people who cared.

I mean, I’m still giving them money,
as I grabbed the Caribou - Suddenly exclusive last night.
“Home” has been my go to jam all of 2020 thus far.

Not under 40, have never cared about BBB ratings. Plus, they seem sketchy to me.

Wikipedia:

In 2010 ABC's 20/20 reported in a segment titled "The Best Ratings Money Can Buy" about the irregularities in BBB ratings.[22] They reported that a man created two dummy companies which received A+ ratings as soon as he had paid the membership fee. They also reported that business owners were told that the only way to improve their rating was by paying the fee. In one case a C was turned to an A immediately after a payment and in another case a C‑minus became an A+. The chef Wolfgang Puck said that some of his businesses receive F's because he refuses to pay a fee. Ritz Carlton, which does not belong either, also receives Fs for not responding to its complaints.[21]

So Fiona, BB and Aretha arrived. Despite them being comically over declared customs didn’t check them (or another parcel from the US, perhaps they’re just too busy this time of year?) so got away with one there! Will wash and spin them tomorrow so watch this space!

Oh they definitely are! I worked for a company once who was contacted by the BBB about a complaint. I read it and said to the BBB rep, “you do realize that the complaint includes a racist epithet which is now available on your website for all to see, don’t you?” I got a lot of “umms,” And “uhhs” Back so I finally said, “yah I think we’re done here.”

Over 40 and never checked it prior, though I've occasionally looked after the fact to see if anyone else had similar issues. If it turns out a company is worth a complaint, then I proceed to the relevant state Attorney General offices.

Preordered the LP immediately when it was announced (from Merge). Both singles - Home and You & I - are stellar.

edit: it was rough trade i pre-ordered from, not merge. the merge pre-order is the destroyer LP.

Just checked the line up via channel tres insta post. Funny how many artists I recognize and have heard via very meaty pizza and N&G.
