I jumped at the first US link I saw before considering which of the 3 colors to pick and I ordered violet. This could be vomit colored and I'd still be happy with it lol. It'll be interesting to see if they vary at all.

Again with the bundles. The /200 is pretty boring so I'm sitting this one out.

Tennis System's Autophobia will out digitally on April 29th per Chadwick Johnson's Instagram story. I don't know if that includes streaming sites but hopefully it does.

$8.45 for media mail...lol. At that rate I went with priority for $2 more. Got the clear with red and yellow splatter since it's like a banana and strawberry smoothie which is one of my favorite smoothies.

I got tracking from one of my local stores today.

Wrong thread

I also love The Great North

Is this also a "src audiophile" master by Kevin Gray?

I assume so. It doesn't have the hifi hype sticker and no mention of Kevin's name or "audiophile" but it has the same runout as this version.

Looking for some help from the board because it’s been SO long since I’ve dealt with a shitty seller.  I bought a record on discogs and received the wrong record. I have transcripts with the seller because I assumed it was an honest mistake, and when I finally asked for a refund they stopped responding. I opened a PayPal case and they just closed it because the seller provided the tracking info saying I received a package essentially. I’m not seeing an option to reopen this case. Again, it’s been a long time so looking for any and all help here. Thank you 🙏🏼

This isn't the most helpful answer but I would recommend giving Paypal a call and talking to a real person. Your situation definitely needs some human intervention at Paypal.

Enema is now 4/15 on SRC's site...lol

"we have been informed earlier then the posted release date"

I knew it was going to look horrible but it complements the artwork which also looks horrible.

This doesn't count but my local Walmart used to sell CDs 2 or 3 days before release date in the early 2010's. It was pretty great and a little funny.

Yes, they sent me a check out of the blue.  It was like winning the lottery.  Glad you had better results than I did.  One of the issues I ran in to was I included shipping cost in the insurance which you shouldn't do, it should be cost of goods only.  Lesson learned there, but still a hassle.  They definitely go out of there way to try not to pay you and hope you give up.

That's very interesting. I definitely lucked out because in the correspondence they could see where I told the buyer I would sell the item for $200.00 and I would cover the shipping with my own money. And being the insurance increments are in amounts of $50.00, I got exactly $200.00 to cover it.

I have not but did have a package a few years ago shipping to Brooklyn which was insured and got lost.  This was the first package I insured in years and only did it at the customers request.  I tried filing an insurance claim and USPS denied it.  On my final hail marry 4th claim denial rebuttal they finally paid out on the loss.  It felt like a huge scam.  I'd never bother with insurance again with USPS after that ordeal.

I'm shocked but my appeal was approved yesterday. I attached correspondence with the seller, a packing slip, and printed the paypal receipt. I figured it needed overkill to be approved and it did. So, do they mail a check to me?

Agreed, could've been so much better.

I refrained from commenting but I'm glad I'm not alone in thinking that.
