Oh yes!

I emailed to cancel my order and they refunded me right away. So at least that's one positive about them. Thanks for the heads up @yumplok, @Satan@Rip

I'll try to keep this short, so let's go. About a year ago I was fed up with intl shipping prices and the new EU tax law, that you have to pay tax (it's 27% here in Hungary) on everything you order, it is especially disgsuting that the amount is calculated on the item + shipping total, so basically a 20-dollar record with the least awful scenario of a 20-dollar shipping would end up in my hands for a whopping $50,8 which came to the point that collecting is becoming unsustainable. This is when I dug into mail forwarding services, and after about 5-6 shipments without any issues I can confidently say that it's a game changer. Disclaimer: please look into it yourself with your country details etc. So the process is I'm using ship7.com who has a warehouse in Delaware (tax free US state), I ship my records there mostly for free or cheap media mail, I have up to 60 days free period (after that it has a small fee)to wait for multiple packages and then I ship them out to Hungary together for way cheaper than it would be directly from the labels/stores would be, not to mention you can get US indie exclusives, get stuff from stores that only ship to the US etc.. (Also, this is up to how rulefollower you are you can play with declared value, but then again it might be risky, so it's on you to do it or not, but alone saving on shipping is huge, saving on tax is enermous). Obviously inserting a middleman is always a risk, as you have no help from the place you bought the record anymore after if arrives to the warehouse, but I was at a point of either this risk or selling off my collection. the rant stops now, here are some pictures of my last 10-record (teamed up with a friend for HIL, that's why only 9 records pictured) shipment and a sheet about the savings.

I'm feeling super nostalgic tonight and also beyond emotional after a few beers...and listening to this...the original release for now...and damn, it's hitting me dead in the feels throughout.

I know plant/release delays have become the norm unfortunately, but seeing that 1/27/23 drop date is laughable and just cringe. Will never get used to that.

I really only care for the first couple TMV records, so I wasn't expecting much. I actually liked the first single, but the new track is laughably bad. I expected this to be a pass for me. Didn't quite expect that though.

Hey All, Long time poster, first time presser! I recently started a new music passion project called New Aesthetic, and fulfilled a long-standing dream of pressing my own record. The result is 'Highway Disillusions' and I've got a small /300 pressing. I put a lot of work into the presentation and really love how everything came out: Records are up in my webstore here: https://newaesthetic.bigcartel.com/ Pricing at cost + $3 for shipping supplies as this is purely for the love of it. 100% self-produced in my home studio. The album is streaming now with the usual suspects (Spotify, Apple Music, etc.), or up for free download on Bandcamp: https://linktr.ee/newaesthetic I also self-produced two music videos, which are up on YouTube: For Fans Of: Sunny Day Real Estate, Pity Sex, Nothing, Title Fight, Ovlov, and Balance & Composure (according to Spotify algorithms...) Greatly appreciate any listens, this was a hugely fulfilling project for me!

Happy TMV are back while also accepting it's unlikely I'm gonna dig this record based on the singles pretty much the same way I didn't care for Antemasque+ATDI reunion

lol, the new single... Makes passing up an overpriced single LP a pretty easy decision.

Never ordered from Popmarket but I will say that Amazon is the only online store I've ever ordered from that delivered a record with literally no packaging. Just a postage label stuck on the shrinkwrap.

Fortunate to get the blue; love Brandtson!

Feel like this is probably ok to share since there's quite literally no way to buy it/give them money for it instead at the moment https://mega.nz/folder/np0VkZSI#_deI_dMP2R9439sV6a40GA Lineage: THORENS TD 209 --> 2M Bronze --> NAD Stereo 3045 --> Focusrite Scarlet 6i6 --> Audacity (recording) --> iZotope RX 9 (de-click & noise removal) --> Audacity (label tracks)

Yeah that song sucks, cliche maroon 5 sounding shit... And after paying stupid dollars for the reissues from clouds hill then to have a million variants available everywhere way cheaper... there is zero chance I'll preorder this at 40 euro plus shipping.
