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

It’s strange, I have yet to have something CATASTROPHIC happen to my records from them. Sure they’ve fucked up here or there but nothing far out of the ordinary for me. YET.

I think it’s a matter of sample size. I’ve had one issue out of maybe 6 records I’ve ever ordered from them. But the one issue was enough to give me pause going forward.

EDIT: I realize now with that sentiment I have chummed the waters for the VMP failures to come flooding in.

My issues have mostly been canceled/oversold orders, so I don't really rely on them to come through, if it's a situation where I feel like an item is going to sell out everywhere and I'm gonna be left with a refund, but difficulty obtaining it. That being said, they are definitely not on a Port Of Sound level when it comes to canceling orders or knowingly shipping damaged products. I still buy from Bullmoose on occasion and might even do a more casual pre-order; I'm just more leery on the super limited stuff that is likely to move quickly and feel more comfortable when I have a backup.

TBH, I am unsure if I have been lucky or my issues have all been so simple that they were all addressed within 24 hours. I received a few damaged LP jackets sent them emails with attached photos and they got right back to me and had the replacements sent out the same day. I have also hastily ordered a few things an almost immediately regretted it, sent a request to cancel and refund. Those were both worked the same day.

A bit weird that people who quit their membership still come in here to trash the company. Enjoy your extra money and I’ll enjoy my copies of Aretha, El-P, and the Roots

I don't think it's weird, there are without a doubt problems with VMP. My point being it's gotten to it's zenith, I don't care anymore who wants to support them and who doesn't, I've said my piece and contributed, but now, to each his own, if people are ok with giving them a constant pass, that's fine, your money.

They’ve had plenty of problems so I understand why people quit. They still produce a pretty nice product so I understand why people still subscribe.
 
Well it looks like they finally fixed the non-active members buying exclusives thing. I went to the store to check out the Shabaka and the Ancestors and the button says join the club.

Anyone else?
