Do they have a contact phone number?  Maybe try giving them a call?

 

Unfortunately not that I can find.  They have a contact form to fill out on their websites and a few different email addresses listed. Have tried them all. Including talking to the head honcho, Darren Brink.

Alright guys. First "major" problem I've had ordering records (or anything) online.  Preordered Jayke Orvis - Bless This Mess on black marbled vinyl back on May 24th, 2013 from the label Farmageddon Records.  It was due to come out that month. It was pushed back to July, then pushed back again with no definitive release date (delays at the pressing plant supposedly). So I bided the time and waited it out with an email here or there to check on status.

 

Well, come January 21st, 2014, they FINALLY got the albums in and shipped them out.  I got no tracking number or confirmation of shipment email.  Waited a week to see if it would show up and started emailing.  First response was that it was shipped out and I should see it soon. Never showed.  Been emailing back and forth and only got a "I'm checking into it" email.  Have not been able to get any responses for a week now, and am getting concerned I'm going to get stiffed on the record and lose out on the money ($30 + shipping).  Obviously it's too late for a paypal dispute. I've been trying to talk to paypal and get them to make an exception to no avail thus far.  I've tried posting on the label's and band's facebook pages, but haven't gotten any response yet.

 

Any ideas what my next move should be?  I appreciate ANY help you guys could offer up.

 

As it sits now, I would stay far away from these guys.

Listened through it twice last night.  Might be my favorite Beck album. Definitely remniscent of Sea Change.

Ah yeah. Didn't see this was getting a proper 2LP release yesterday. Just the RSD set. Can't wait for this one.

I NEED that Soundgarden release.  First thing on my list so far.

Alice in Chains S/T, still sealed....6 bucks.

Got the Alive Black Diamond Heavies and Left Lane Cruiser bundle yesterday.  9 LP's plus posters, t-shirts, badges, and stickers yesterday.  Quite a nice package.

Because the Crowes themselves own the rights to this, and they need the money.

The first four Crowes records (AKA "The Good Ones") belong to American, who seem to be taking their own sweet time.....

 

Makes sense, but they should have went with Before the Frost...since copies of those go for big bucks.

Black Crowes - Warpaint repressing?!  Out of all of the albums they could have gone with, they went with one that is still readily available for like 15 bucks?

I got a code last week.....having said that, I never joined in on the fun before, so this was my first code ever.

Yeah, at 45 bucks... I'm out.

I get there...preorder isn't up though.

+1 to Seether. I would buy any of their stuff.

I'm surprised you have a tough time finding a decent copy of Animals. My local stores nearly always have copies of that record hanging around. I too would love to find a copy of Piper though. I suppose you could always settle for purchasing A Nice Pair which includes both Piper and A Saucerful of Secrets - it's cheaper and seems to be easier to find.

 

Maybe my expectations are too high.  I can find copies going for 30-40 bucks with a nice non worn to hell sleeve, but I would like to find a <$20 copy.  I wouldn't expect that to be too unreasonable. There have got to be tons of that album floating around. Hell, I'm not even looking for a original press or anything. 

That's why I said I'd be careful preordering these. I got burned before on these albums. I think the band isn't helpful in the process.

Well, I ordered from Amazon, so I haven't been charged or anything.  More just a huge disappointment thus far.

March 11th now...

I'm interested to see if this will end up like the Pink Floud reissue campaign, with only 3 albums receiving vinyl reissues.

 

That still pisses me off to no end.  They remaster the 3 easiest to find albums and leave the rest of the catalog stagnant. I'd kill to find a nice, reasonably priced copy of Animals or Piper at the Gates of Dawn.

 

I'm stoked about the Zeppelin reissues though. And like most others, hope they put them out on vinyl.

Me too. Pretty excited about this one.

Chaperone Records has a new Charlie Parr album listed for preorder.  20 bucks for the vinyl, or they are offering vinyl + poster or shirt for more.

They also just put out two variants.  One for King Earl and one for Rooster.  Looks like King Earl (out of 25) is gone already, but Rooster (out of 20) is still up as of this posting. 30 bucks.

They also have several other similarly limited variants from other groups.

Hope this helps out someone!

 

The Downward Spiral [LP] [PA]-VINYL Artist: Nine Inch Nails

 

So this has cancelled for you before? Damn. I ordered it the other day hoping it would really come. Well, worst case it got me free shipping I guess.

Just did a back to back comparison between MOV and the BF release of Core.  The MOV release is louder, and to me has a richer/deeper sound. I probably don't have the ears that some of you guys do to compare the two, but to me, I think I prefer the MOV release.

 

EDIT: That is in re: to thesecrets' question.  Apparently the quote was lost somehow.

I got mine from Amazon a couple days ago.  Kind of odd, considering I thought this was a limited Black Friday RSD release.  Haven't gave it a listen yet.

It also says it only counts for non "sale" items, but gohastings seems to list most items as "sale" because they are below retail price. So are most things excluded?

Also, has anyone here had good luck with them? I read bad things about them all over the web, especially their shipping methods.

 

 

I've had two orders in with them. First order was 3 LPs that were thrown into a giant box that was flatten. The edge ripped and they were hanging out the side. Sleeves bent to hell. They reshipped in another large (but not flattened box). Results were slightly better.

 

Second order was a single double LP shipped in a mailer.  Packaged perfectly.

Damn. Ordered 4 albums on Sunday, 11/10. Looking at the charge on my CC it looks like I didn't get one of them.  Of course my most wanted album is the one that didn't ship.
 

Holy shit, really. That sucks!

According to Amazon they did anyway.  I've gotten 3 sets of emails on date changes for them.
