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

[Selaws]

I have a weird situation popped up.

Last month's VMP package was delivered to the wrong address, about 20 mins away to a place that was similar to my address but not the same postcode. I messaged VMP to see if they could locate it (I didn't know where it was at the time) and instead they just resent it. That resent package now turned up and my postman recognised my name, despite the printed label being a different address again!

I've check my account and the address is correct (I've had no need to change) and dont really know why the wrong address was printed. Im an international subscriber and the label is DHL, but why would they print a random address?

Update on this. I peeled the top label which has the wrong address (which was a Royal Mail label produced once the package arrived in the UK) and the VMP label underneath has the correct address. For some unknown reason it looks like Royal Mail seems to be ignoring the correct address on the label and substituting it (with my name) for a different address.

Properly weird and I have no idea how to rectify this.

That's really messed up.

I can redirect a package here in Germany (for example a VMP package) if I know the tracking number and recipients postal code. The packages then get a new sticker when they arrive in Germany. Wondering if this is something similar but just a system screw up? Hopefully you're not being "hacked".

I will look into that, thanks.

I messaged VMP with an explanation and a photo of the 2 labels, explaining that I have another record on its way to me, and they responded to say the address was correct. I don't actually think they read the email properly and just checked the info they submitted for the label.

Tracking shows it being ready for delivery which will likely be tomorrow, so I guess I will find out if its been fixed or not.

I'd reach out to your local post, if they have a help or customer service office or something

Vanguard and Comedy Anthologies will be available in swaps!

Some pretty decent swaps for June. Not swapping this month but seems to be a pretty good month to swap.

Dang! I'd be swapping hard for the Vanguard anthology if I were still a member

 

[Skalap]

Fear Inoculum is there too

 

[Twentytwo]

Whitney is a swap too.

That has to be a mistake, right?

Tempting to rejoin for the month to get this. Break it up and sell it for parts

No, it is not a mistake. Pauly on Discord knows about it. He hinted earlier swaps was going to be nuts this month.

Although I want Monk this month; I'm sure as hell gonna try for that Vanguard box

 

[Jeff Lerner]

Anyone have that comedy box? Thoughts?

I think it's funny that they did it.

But before we all get our hopes up, don't we assume there are like maybe 5 copies of the Vanguard box up? I mean, I'll be there trying to swap for it with everyone else, but I'm assuming we hear a lot more from the hundreds of people who tried to swap for it and were unable than we do from the couple of people who succeed in getting one.

I got the 10 disc Woodstock box. I can get one of these.

As someone who paid for the Vanguard anthology not too many months ago, this actually pisses me off enough I'm thinking about my plans to rejoin next month.

I'm happy for whomever gets this in swaps, but at the same time this was a lot of fucking money and I had no clue there was a possibility of it coming up in swaps. VMP seems to enjoy kicking people in the nutsack every so often.

The Swizz Beatz comp actually isn't bad for $35. Looks decent. That Smiley abomination is hilarious as there are a total of 17 people on cogs who own it and there are two for sale for $400. Yeah, good luck with that. I bet it never sells even a single Cogs copy.
