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

For these orders from the past week did you all pay for direct shipping? I just did normal free bundled shipping, but an in-stock item, so no idea when it might ship or if it would “wait” til April.

You can cancel in your account without emailing. I don't remember exactly what the options are, and I'm not going to sign up again to redo it, but they're on the left side of the screen on your account page where you can see your upcoming record. I think it may be "edit" next to "Membership." Clicking that button allows you to change your membership length or (using a button near the bottom of the window) cancel.

You're only able to edit your membership for the current month while swaps are open. If you join after the swap window passes, you're billed instantly (or at least that's how it used to work). But while swaps are open, you're signing up for next month, and they don't bill you until the first of the month--though they go ahead and give you the membership benefits of member pricing and bundled shipping.

I have $36 of store credit so will give this a shot. I also have some amount of account credit but haven't figured out how to apply it to a one month sub but dk t want to risk paying then asking for it to be applied after as they clearly have no cs left.

If you have membership credit, I think that’s automatically applied when they bill you on the 1st. If you cancel before then, you won’t use your membership credit . . . but you also shoiuldbt be charged.

Ideally, you’d be able to convert your membership credit to store credit before placing an order in the store. But I’m guessing the request might take a while to go through. If I was in your position, I think I’d make a purchase in the store to use up store credit, and if I had to use a little cash for the purchase, I’d email them to convert my membership credit to store credit and retroactively apply it to that purchase. They’ve refunded me in the past for retroactively applying credit to an order.

I picked my April record and used most of my credit to pick up the Marshall Allen album which is listed as in stock. I just kept it as my normal bundled shipping so they should both ship with the April shipment. 🤞

That Marshall Allen album is great.

I’m excited to get it. When I was looking for things to use my VMP credit on I streamed his album and really liked it. I’m a jazz noob so I’m just learning about him and his amazing career. He now has a couple of Guinness world records for oldest person to release a debut album and oldest person to release an album of new material! 100 Year Old Jazz Legend
 
I forget what the general vibe of it was around here, but I received Broadcast's The Noise Made By People in the 35% off sale and it looks/sounds great. Probably my last "new" purchase from VMP, and a solid one to go out on, imo.

In other news I got shipping for my dongs and dunts, but after the extremely disappointing test pressing results, I'm kind of dreading what I'll find in the box.

I think Broadcast is just a color variant of the last release right?

I'm still waiting on my 5 pack of store exclusive test pressings to ship. The optimist in me thinks that Saddle Creek got word back that they weren't supposed to cut the tape on the test pressings so are now putting them back together before shipping mine out.

The pessimist in me knows I'll probably get 3 of the same test pressing and 2 single discs from 2LP sets.

Here's what I did - signed up for one month and "swapped" to the Back to In Person bundle. Then I placed an order for an Aretha record I was missing (using my remaining store credit plus $4 cash) I have $80 account credit so that will pay for my one month, I'll either let the remainder go or see if there's a sale before the month is up to burn it.

Ooh. Jaga Jazzist! I didn't know VMP did anything with them. I discovered them in Japan back in 2014. My wife and I went to a vinyl bar/British pub and that's what was playing at the time.

That sounds like a smart plan.
 
From what I've heard, 8ball is probably dead. Jaga Jazzist is probably the last MAYBE if VMP makes it a few more months somehow. El Malo was far enough in production that it should come out. Joe Bataan should come out. NWA shoudl come out. Budos is a maybe. Who knows with some of the other preorders...

I'm assuming none of it is happening until they open up orders again.
