So, they'll "reject" your offer but, as a hack, they'll send you a counter offer by accepting your offer and just adding to the shipping total? If I'm reading it right, that is 100% bonkers. You aren't bound to follow through on that and Discogs support will gladly help you avoid negative feedback and cancel the order.

When someone posts a link to their Discogs list on this website, I cringe because it's rarely in alphabetical order when I'm trying to browse through and find something I might be interested in, and it is separated into multiple pages by default, with each release having images next to it. It's great if I want to search Discogs to find releases, because they show the most accurate releases, variants, etc. but it's awful in trying to put together a collection list. The beauty of deadformat, for me, was just how simple it was to be able to send to someone like my mother, who could just click the link and easily view a list of my records. I don't feel that Discogs is nearly as simplistic, I just don't really like it for that reason. I don't need to see the record label, the release year... I just want simply artist/album/variant, which is what deadformat could offer me. It was also super easy to add releases to my list. I just had to click "add new" and type in specifically what I wanted to type in...
 
I also may be wrong about this one, but does it always show exactly what variant someone has in their collection on Discogs, or is it just simply the release name? I think that may have been an annoyance for me as well. 

I think there's a difference between "not knowing how" and "never bothering to try" in utilizing filters. I spent a few hours adding records to my "collection" on Discogs a couple of nights ago in attempt to familiarize myself with it more. Things I still hate about it- when searching for a record variant, any major 12" record has about 5 million options to choose from, sometimes with 15 incredibly similar variants, and I have to click on 5 different links to find the one I'm specifically looking for... on deadformat I could have just typed in "artist - record - color" and submitted it into my trade list. Holy. Crap. This was SO much more difficult than it had to be.  I think I would prefer if the search results showed a lengthier list than just the first 3 letters of whatever the variant could be. Second, why the hell cant I see how many copies were pressed of these records? I really liked that aspect on deadformat. Third, I loved how I was able to see my entire tradelist on one long page on my deadformat. On Discogs, being able to only list 250 on one page is definitely a bummer for me. 
 
Obviously, I need to make a google doc, but it's just frustrating.
 
 
The one major thing I love about Discogs conparatively to Deadformat is that I can see the values of my albums. I had no idea that feature existed, it makes my life easier, and shows me clarification that I have spent way too much of my income on music. Overall, diving deeper into Discogs made me enjoy it more than beforehand, but I still stand by simplicity in my list, which is what I felt deadformat offered me.

What is even going on in this thread

What a list of For Sale vinyl.  Love the records, wish the prices were in my neighborhood.  Regardless, good luck and seriously awesome list for sale.

I don't know what the mock up of the red/white marble variant, but I picked a copy of the record up at my local shop and I really like how it's white but has really faint traces of red.  I'm a fan of it for sure.

Free bump for a good bloke 

lol the reactions in this thread are just... yikes.  Stoked to be able to buy this for a decent price, though.

$4 shipping, US only. $20 minimum purchase.
Testing out my new excel file.  Have some extra mailers, both 12" and 7" sized.  Shoot me some offers, not everything is for sale.  Regardless, I would love some cash!  I'll link to both my google file as well as Discogs in case people would like a different way to view it.

Received my purchase within like 20 minutes or something crazy.  Definitely recommend.

what an amazing band.  love them so much.  i tried collecting their discog for a minute, but eventually I realized how annoying it was going to be tracking down the /20 variant & the stuff you're looking for here.
I have test presses + "press advance" copies of it won't snow + no signal. 

I tried that, I swear!  It's a thing that I've noticed on every purchase I make with those types of drop down menus.  It only helps so much.  I appreciate it, haha.

I love that cover you posted, I like it more than the one I ended up getting. I'm gonna post pictures of mine when I get a chance... If anyone wants to buy a cassette of this album, hit me up!

I came in here ready to post some dumb joke or make fun of the situation, but man, that's kind of insane. I've never in my life seen anything close to that.
 
Not sure what your options are or how much the record is actually worth, but definitely take the time to drop by a USPS office and take the record with you. Regardless of whether it was insured or not, something like this should never happen.

Maybe an obvious question, but have you contacted the seller yet?
 
Regarding USPS, they won't do fuck all unless you have insurance.  That's just a waste of your time.
