benchwarmer Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 ouch. you could always try emailing robotic empire. yea I did, it says that the clear w/ planets is already sold out, they may have a few left. I was also thinking that it's mostly the post office's fault, but they didn't package it too well (no "do not bend" mark, no support cardboard).

altarsofradness Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 that's a huge bummer. there is literally nothing worse than having a record you're looking forward to arrive dinged up by the mailman. ive ordered from RE a bunch and my stuff always arrives packaged well. let us know if they hook you up with another copy.

robotnerd Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 they might at least offer to send you another copy of the packaging if they've got extras Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altarsofradness Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 they might at least offer to send you another copy of the packaging if they've got extras now that's a pretty reasonable compromise... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benchwarmer Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 they might at least offer to send you another copy of the packaging if they've got extras I'd totally go for that. great idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benchwarmer Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 I emailed them twice, but haven't heard back. You think I should email them again? I hate being a nag, but I'm still pretty bummed about the condition of the jacket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altarsofradness Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 that's weird. ive emailed them before and usually got a response within a day or two. you could always try sending a message to their myspace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattisr1984 Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 yeah, ive emailed them before and they usually write back. though, i bet theyre pretty swamped with orders between all the represses and new stuff coming out. i dont see why they wouldnt replace your jacket though--they seem like decent enough people over there.

benchwarmer Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 I wish they'd email me back. ended up sending them a myspace message too. at least that way I know they read it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebaroness Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 I hate how you have to email them now about international shipping rates. Oh well, shit happens I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benchwarmer Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 I didn't see the preorder with a shirt...is that still there? I might just end up ordering another copy, I haven't heard back about getting a new jacket or anything. I have the clear w/ planets, any suggestions on what other color to get?

benchwarmer Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 they got back to me: Hey Chris,Unfortunately we don't have extra covers since everything is made and assembled 1/1. Sorry to hear about your cover and damn the USPS! Next time inquire about options for insurance. Thanks. -jeff bummer, I might order another one anyways.

I emailed them, and all they said is "you should have gotten an email..." I didn't get the shirt, but I did order an emperor record with it, but I don't know why that would cause a hold up. It could be because the albuquerque post office is incompetent, they did switch the parcel locker keys on me today and ended up with one of my neighbors packages...
