It really is perfect cuz SRC gets up and hits the person helping them. It's like their real customer relations.

SRC is by far the worst customer service experience I've had in many years. There are 4 employees (online and both retail stores combined) including the manager (owner?) who is never there but controls everything the people who are there do. The customer service number is a joke. We got someone to contact us by calling the Canadian retail location and sending messages Morse code. They had sent me a damaged item, made me send them different photos twice. The lone online customer service worker is also the one employee at the US store and took days to answer each email. When they decided they would bless me with a replacement, the album was out of stock but they didn't ask or offer credit or a refund, they just said it would ship as soon as they got more with no estimate of when. I asked for a refund. Then she started answering emails very quickly! We already shipped your replacement, when all they had done was made a label. Two days later a package actually shipped, "Oh look we just got one copy in!" Wait, I thought the story was you already shipped it? Funny how it was the same day my returned copy made it there (seriously).  
Sometime during the lying about shipping, I went ahead and filed a PayPal claim WHICH I LOST because the manager lied in his reply to the claim and used the original tracking number to prove they had shipped me something and paypal hadn't connected the emails I forwarded them with the claim. Then I had to appeal the ruling while the customer service is still telling me that this is a misunderstanding and she'll talk to her manager about a refund. Finally, I won the appeal and I will NEVER deal with them again. This took a month and a half BTW.
 
If I want an exclusive they have, I'll get it second hand, even if I end up paying more. It's worth it not to deal with them and to not give them any profit.

Only 500 for the U.S., so not sure how long these will last.
Hysteria is only my 3rd favorite Lep album... which still makes it pretty great. And unlike the earlier albums, this one does NOT sound good on the original vinyl. (30 minutes a side???)
 
There's also a $129.99 super duper box set (CD/DVD).... which the pimply mulleted version of me who saw DL in the round in Atlanta would've salivated over.
 

I'd file that claim asap. They are terrible with their customer service and would have taken me months to get my money back if I didn't file a claim. Once the claim was filed that's when they actually contacted me back.

good to know.  thanks.  not gonna bother calling, 3 emails over 2 weeks and zero response, i'm just gonna sic the credit card on em.

just the issue that they don't ship their RSD product.  Call them at the store. some people have had luck getting some of their orders shipped that way, my suggestion would to be not order from them based off my experience, they rank up their with SRC in my opinion.

There you go.

Hope your right, I'm putting my life savings into this...

I called the record exchange because I had placed an order over a week from the day I called them and I also emailed them and never heard anything and it was still showing the records I ordered in stock.

When I called they said they're in stock but "they're spoken for" WTF is that crap. I ordered them over a week before and they had been on their website since.  Their service sucks. 

Thanks @freezeflash, I had just about given up hope, this is the thing I wanted the most this RSD.    Also picked up the Cars, and the Lenny Kravitz.  Hope they ship, I have had nothing but problems for the most part with canceled orders, etc.  Thanks again!

Well there went $130 in records I won't even see until July

That's awesome. Switchfoot always put on great shows. I have seen them 3 times now and they never disappoint. I really wanted to see Switchfoot with Relient K on this past tour but I was unable to travel for the nearest date. I really wanted to see Deathbed live and with the two bands touring I'm sure Relient K had Jon on to perform it. 

I have, but I didn't notice the difference, but i haven't seen the Columbia.  I just got into Switchfoot and Relient K this year, believe it or not, I was home sick and turned on the outdoor channel and their documentary was on "Fading West",  just watching that got me much more into the band. Went and saw them and did the VIP thing in February, great show, great guys.  Relient K opened, Air for Free was my first lp of theirs and just fell in love with the Beatlesque sounds/vocals and the lyrics.  Did convince them to play "Candy Hearts" at the show, I ran into their bass player in the lobby with his dad, told him how much I like their music, and how much I loved Candy Hearts, and begged them to play it.

 

They are all up and live now!  A few have limited color variants of 300 i.e. Relient K - The Nashville Tennis and Five Iron Frenzy Our Newest Album 
 
beat me by a second!
 

The new stuff is up. 
Relient K - Nashville Tennis EP has a /300 exclusive variant of "Tennis Ball" yellow and a standard press of "French clear"
Switchfoot - Hello Hurricane - is a standard blue 

Yeah, I take some comfort in that at least it's not VNYL

Awwww, go fuck with some other site, spammers. Leave our beloved Discogs alone. 

Correct.  It is clear with black splatter.  Looks good!

I'm generally a responsible and sane person. For some reason with records, all that goes out the window. 

Well, shit. I was going to see if I could go a WHOLE DAY without buying an album, and this ended that attempt. There's always tomorrow! (Thanks for posting. I have always loved this album. "Larry" is my favorite.)

Delayed, I was looking forward to spinning this.  I ordered a month ago with 2 other items.  Friday on the release day, the status moved to backordered 1-2 weeks.  I contacted them via email, wanting to know when this will ship, and they honestly have no idea.  Just bad!

Hang in there, bud. I know it's frustrating, but it'll be worth it in the end. If that smoke looks anything like my copy of Copeland's Beneath Medicine Tree, it'll be a beautiful pressing.

It is back in stock!
