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

[Stringthing75]

My VMP update (for my records, and for complaining sake)

Awaiting: TLC "Fan Mail" replacement OR refund
Awaiting: Handsome Boy Modeling School album OR refund


I see that some people have received refunds, their albums, etc. Is anyone in the same boat as me and and received NO REAL HUMAN CORRESPONDENCE FOR OVER A MONTH?

Yes, me. Longer than a month.

Yeah I wouldn't be so sure about this, of the 4 refunds they pushed to me, only two actually went through. I'm still chasing the other two even though I got a receipt email from them stating they refunded them.

I meant if they actually process the refund, him closing that card wont affect that.

I can't say for sure, but most of these types of companies are contracting out their social media coordination. I know Mobile Fidelity does this. I'd assume a smaller/newer operation like VMP does, too

VMP has been around for what, 7+ years? They’re newer, but they ain’t that new...lol

they could be wrecking marriages with these shenanigans.

If I received one of those hefty boxes there's no way in hell my wife would believe it was accidental

Fair enough, but just saying that it's a normal practice to have contracted social media coordinators.

I can ask her, though, if she works directly for VMP. She's been fairly friendly.

I wonder what the true number is of people receiving these giant orders are. Not everyone is on reddit and not everyone who receives a big box they didn’t order will post a picture of it on the internet. It could be worse than what we’re seeing.

now is the time to buy one of every new release on the off chance you win the over-shipped lottery and end up with $1000 worth of free records. this is marketing gold!

That's what I'm saying! It feels very shady to me that this isn't being given much attention outside of a portion of their customer base. Haven't VMP and Pitchfork collaborated on stuff in the past? That might be the answer as to why Pitchfork is staying silent.

what happened to that pitchfork collaboration series....

the only thing they do now is link to VMP exclusives

Did you get an email from PayPal saying a refund went through or just an email from VMP saying they’d do it? For my canceled card, the refund notice came from PayPal directly, not VMP.

I use my credit card, so it just never came through. But then they sent another 2 and they did go through, now waiting on a third that just appeared.

Finally received my shipments in and everything is accounted for. Now all I have left that's outstanding is my pre-orders for Grimes and Caroline Polachek due to arrive in February-March and then I'm done for good.

Is anyone friends with him on Facebook or follow him on Instagram? It's not just Reddit, I haven't seen him post anything ANYWHERE since Christmas Eve. That's what makes me wonder if there's something more going on with him than just not wanting to deal with angry redditors.

He's been active on Instagram. Like multiple posts this week.

But if you would have gotten such a box you would have to pay a million in customs

 

[displayname]

I just did the math.
Just today, just on Reddit, people reported receiving a total of 95 additional/free records, one additional box set, and one slip mat.

This also doesn't count for any of the orders people reported in the past week with packages being sent to the wrong state.

Ok cool. It’s private if you’re not logged in so I couldn’t see anything.

They...... got everything correct. Still waiting on Pinkerton, which they told me last time, i would be getting. But who the hell knows. Time to see if these have defects.
