Did anyone get a shipping notification from Sound Stage Direct?

I got my notice on Tuesday and tracking said it will be delivered Friday. I live 30 minutes from their warehouse though, don't know if that would make a difference.

My wife hosted a baby shower at our house on Saturday and I needed to kill some time and get out of the house so I hopped a train into the city (Philly) and hit my favorite record stores. I picked up:

 

Bob Marley - Legend

The Used - Self Titled

Ben Gibbard & Jay Farrar - One Fast Move or I'm Gone

Minus the Bear - Highly Refined Pirates

Ben Gibbard - Former Lives

The Get Up Kids - Guilt Show

Nirvana - Incestacide 45 rpm

Got this from AiR:

"We will notify customers as soon as we know when the replacements will be ready to ship."

Glad they totally ignored my question/point about Transatlanticism being 33 rpm instead of 45...

Maybe this means they are sending replacements for Transatlanticism too........

Or more likely this is a stock response they are sending because they are getting so many emails

Just purchased and in the mail:

Get Up Kids - Guilt Show - red vinyl

The Elected - Sun, Sun, Sun

The Lonely Wild - the Sun as it Comes - released today but apparently the vinyl is delayed a week now.

 ALSO, Transatlanticism isn't 45rpm as advertised. so that stuff kinda sucks... but the boxset is still awesome.

 

That annoys me, I was looking forward to the 45 rpm version. I never checked, I just assumed it would be 45rpm as it was advertised as such.

#389

 

I was originally pretty annoyed, but AinR seems to be stepping up, then I sat down with my wife and listened to the Photo Album on vinyl and all is well.

Has anyone gotten one that is not mislabeled?

I also got my shipping confirmation this morning, I placed my order in mid November on the AinR site for reference .

I wonder if that's for people ordering now, and those that ordered earlier will get it on the original ship date. Still kind of surprised 1500 units didn't sell out yet, even at that price.
