Chhristopher Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 As I see people getting them, I'm really feeling bummed I didn't snag a signed copy. Cool for everyone who did, though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how you can blame the label/distributor for that. It's not even remotely uncommon for stores to get items before the day they are supposed to sell it. That isn't the sole reason. It's more that a few of us on here haven't even had our copies shipped but these stores have. What's the point of buying this direct, besides "support the artist", if we could have just gone and bought this on Friday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ximperfectx Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 (edited) For anyone who's desperate for a red copy, the Australian webstore still has some (EDIT, they have 1 copy in stock), but it'll cost you around US$45 shipped to the States. http://artistfirst.com.au/collections/blink-182/products/california-lp-red Edited June 30, 2016 by ximperfectx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats not a privilege of preordering an album. Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't. It makes 100x more sense for the label to make sure the record stores have the copies in hand to sell on Friday. There is no guarantee you'll get the record on the day of release. Is that the goal though? Yeah, sure. Besides wasn't the date pushed back to July for some of the variants? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the reason you preordered. If you were a grown up and didn't care about something dumb like that then you could always wait and just buy stuff on release day in stores. Probably save a lot of money on shipping too. Full disclosure: I preorder fancy colored records all the time. I am mocking you and myself at the same time for being idiots. knifeparty, ksleap, TheGhostOfRandySavage and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell, I'd be fine if it was even shipped. But it hasn't. I'm 1 day before release and my record hasn't shipped, and I got the exact same variant that was at that store.

I didn't order a special variant. I ordered the black 180 that was sitting in that store. While my paid for copy hasn't even shipped the day before release. And usually MerchNow is great about this kinda stuff. Hell, KRM Euro is great too. But fuck KRM US now. I appreciate the full disclosure too.

I'm gonna assume you're new to collecting. Welcome. Different types of delays happen 90% of the time, sometimes they can last longer than a year. Waiting a couple days isn't going to kill you, and if you want to hear it on vinyl that bad then go buy a copy at your local record store then sell it when your preorder copy shows up or something.

Not new, at all. There is no delay in this, just them fucking up the shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
