I would but have a number of orders from the store backed up still from the month before this. Honestly more tempted to throw up a "myvinylmeplease.com" website charting the experience as it happens. It's been a long time since I saw such consistent, consecutive fuck ups at this level.

Sorry about your experience. Not cool, at all.

Just found this on the VMP website:
And we’re committed to giving you the kind of experience that lives up to the records we’re sending you.

Suffice to say, this "commitment" has not been too terribly apparent for the past few years.
 
Soooooooooo, I got Woodstock last month. This month I cancelled both my add ons and just got Stevie. My swaps closed two hours ago and my RHH just switched from SnP to... Woodstock again. Now... It's probably just the visual glitch but... Do I resub just in case?

I'd say go for it🤣 you can probably get something else in case it doesn't come through(?).
 
So orders, swaps are mixed up for me too. My main track RHH still correctly shows The Roots instead of SnP, this also is listed in the orders page. My 2 other tracks have switched away (I had Outkast and Da Brat) and it shows nothing now, that's probably because I didn't have those add ons last month. It just shows I'm having the addons, but without any record, also none is mentioned on my orders page? So is this just a glitch? Shall I wait or contact them? Really confusing this month.

I didn't swap at all this month, left Classics as-is with Errol. I just realized on my account page it turned back into last month's Otis.

My canceled SnP add-on also changed back into last month's selection (Jorge Ben).

I... want to say this happened right before orders were processed maybe last month or the month before. Once they get processed and show up on your order page, they should be correct. SHOULD BE.

In other words, don't hold out hope you'll be getting another Woodstock.

Yeah I'm not, I'm fairly certain it'll be SnP.
 
With all the reports of screwed up membership reports I thought I'd check mine too. I'm subbed to all three tracks for May, where I wanted Stevie and Enroll, and swapped RHH for Gorillaz. My membership page shows Gorillaz correctly, but Classics/Essentials are the April picks (which I already received). Hopefully it's just a glitch.
Same, my swaps are correct but my unswapped Stevie went back to...Woodstock box?! Thank you sir, may I have another?
