I don't think auto cancels work that way, only ones that go the distance.

 

Yeah, I think there's a difference between "auto cancel after 20-30 minutes" (no codes back) vs. "auto cancel after 2 or 4 weeks" (codes back).

 

EDIT: In other words between "auto cancel because your info could not be verified" vs. "auto cancel because the item is still backordered so your order couldn't be fulfilled".

I've got a 20% off PopMarket code as well that I'm not going to use: FMFGCHDVJ2M43LY. Hurry, it expires today (10/9)!!

This is quite possibly my favorite album of all time (hence my avatar) so I will definitely be picking this up, just debating between the bundle with the t-shirt or the vinyl alone.

 

My understanding is the studio version of "Whip Poor Will" is from the original album recording sessions and has never been released before now. From the one sheet: 

 

The full-band studio outtake of fan favorite "Whip Poor Will" is a sweet and spare version that ended up being played far differently on Magnolia Electric Co.'s final album Josephine (2009).

That doesn't really make any sense to me.  Where exactly the IP address is being used isn't public information, the closest that can happen is they can ballpark an area.  The ISP would have to be queried to find out what address that IP is being used at and I can't imagine they'd just give it to BestBuy.

 

 

Doesn't make sense to me either, but a Best Buy representative said it:

http://forums.bestbuy.com/t5/BestBuy-com/Order-cancelled-quot-because-we-were-unable-to-verify-your/m-p/702393

Then again, they could just say something like that so that people will drop the conversation.

 

 

It doesn't make sense but apparently there is some validity to it, as I was able to place an order tonight at home after being unsuccessful at work the past two days (never had a problem placing orders at work prior to this Monday).

So I just got my first "Cannot verify your information" email cancellation for purchasing something backordered.

I then created an account using my work email and tried to order something from there using a $10 code.

 

And that order got cancelled too.

 

I read some BB.com customer support  forums that said that orders will get cancelled if they're purchased from an IP address that isn't marked "residential" (which is just plain dumb if you ask me) and since I'm not at home, I think this might be the issue.

 

So my question is this, and I'm not sure if it was fully answered before:

Is my account now permanently flagged? Will I be unable to make any more orders?

Or have people who had orders instantly cancelled been able to order from their account again later?

 

I can't answer your questions as I am in the same boat. I got that e-mail for the first time on Monday, although it was for 2 in-stock items that I tried to buy with 3 codes (and $3 on a credit card). I have tried to place four other orders since then using the same account (all without codes) on back-ordered or special order items, varying both the time of day (morning vs. afternoon) and payment source/method (credit card vs. PayPal) and all have auto-canceled within 20 minutes.

 

All orders were placed from work though, so I will try one from home tonight to see if it makes a difference.

I called best Buy and they said I should get a replacement code by the end of the week (but I am doubtful.)

 

Ben - did you get a replacement code(s)? Earlier this morning I used 3 codes to buy two records that were in stock at the time only to have BB cancel it 20 minutes later; hoping my codes aren't gone.

Also, keep an eye out, because a lot of times items go back and forth between being 'sold out online' and available again.

 

Yep, I've seen Peacebone, Dive, Peregrine, and Nuclear.Sad.Nuclear all go back and forth multiple times over the past few weeks.

The others are probably "Expected to ship in 2-4 weeks" instead of 1-2 weeks like Peregrine.

 

Peregine is 2-4 weeks though.

Picked up the clear pressing from my local store on Saturday for $16+tax - looks great, but haven't had a chance to spin it yet.

If you're a Turntable Kitchen Pairings Box Gold Club Member, can you please PM me? Thanks in advance.

Really, really hope the clear blue hasn't been shipped already. please no

 

 

Por Que?

 

I think he is moving and doesn't want it shipped to the "wrong" address.

Looks like Peacebone is no longer available. I'm sure everyone and their sister was using that one!

 

Some will say Sold Out for a period of time, and then become available to order again (but still backordered). I've seen this with Peacebone, Peregrine, and Dive.

Should I expect Old Canes - Feral Harmonic LP to ship, or is it OOP?

Just got my order canceled email confirmation along with verification that the code is on its way, came right on time.

 

What did you order?

I'm sure it's the same jackets just a different variant.

 

Not saying you're wrong, but the UO exclusive red variant of Bon Iver - S/T was not gatefold while the regular release was, so there is a bit of a precedent for the jackets being different on Jagjaguwar/SCDistribution releases.

The Offspring - Smash and My Brightest Diamond - Bring Me The Workhorse are off backorder about to ship for me. One was supposed to cancel today, one tomorrow. Ha.. Score one for best buy again.

 

Weird, Smash just cancelled for me earlier this morning.

Is this album streaming online somewhere, or is everyone just listening to the leak?

Yup, makes me somewhat glad I didn't preorder, gives me a chance to still get the splatter if I do end up enjoying this.

 

Speaking of the splatter, one of the band members just tweeted this: http://instagram.com/p/czYR3NK7J7/

PO (via Kickstarter): Typhoon - White Lighter

I don't understand why they are mixing up their packaging techniques so much. One record will get shipped inside a nook box with air bubbles and 4 records are being shipped in hassle-free mailers. So random...

 

 

I suspect the people who work in their warehouse are poorly paid and don't give a shit.  "Yeah, I know there are record mailer boxes at the other end of the warehouse but I've got one of those big boxes right here so I'm putting these in that.  I gotta go on my lunch break soon.  Fuck those hipsters and their vinyl". 

 

My guess is there are multiple warehouses (or at least multiple/different people in the same warehouse) who are doing the packaging and they don't all do it the same way.

Does Subpop charge right away or wait until they ship? I don't think I've ever done a preorder with them.

Can anyone answer this? If they wait to charge until shipping, how long does the pending charge stay on your card/account before dropping off?

NPR is streaming White Lighter in its entirety and I just completed my first listen.  It is absolutely fantastic.  They have just continued to build on the EP and this will probably easitly grow into my favortite Typhoon material.  So glad I contributed to the Kickstarter and I hope they come through my city on their tour.  Give it a listen....

100% agreed on the new album. If you missed out on the Kickstarter, you can pre-order it via their former label Tender Loving Empire (which is also offering their whole discography, including White Lighter, via discounted CD or colored LP bundles) here:

https://www.tenderlovingempire.com/12/tle-music/typhoon-white-lighter/

Won't have any spending money until beginning of next month, hope the Loser Edition is still available then!

I personally use 7 or 8 records to get codes- as soon as one cancels, I re-order it the same day.

What records are you using, if you don't mind my asking?

I'm in the USA and got mine today. It's pretty sweet.
