    This. If you aren't ordering more 4 or more records, packaging will be hit or miss. Leaning more so on miss.

    Yep... I ordered three from them during the last 25% sale and it came in one of their shitty flat mailers... one side of the mailer had come completely unsealed. I could look in and see the records. Unbelievably there was no damage, I got lucky.

    Does anyone know what happened with the pressing of Us & Them?  I got my Amazon order cancelled last year and kind of forgot about it, figuring I could pick it up later on.  But looking today, I don't see a vinyl release on discogs and no evidence of it in Earache's store.

     
     
     

    It's part of Earache's "Vinyl On Demand" store (http://ondemand.earache.com)... basically they have a pre-order system set up and when a record gets to 500 pre-orders it gets pressed. Unfortunately Us and Them is at 51 right now. I've been waiting on this too and hoped there would be more demand considering it's never been pressed on vinyl.

    Welp...

     

    We’re really sorry but we’re afraid we have some bad news. Sadly, we did not receive enough copies to fill your order. We fought to get you the copy you deserve but ultimately were denied. Your order will be cancelled and, if you have been charged, a refund will be issued. Again, we’re very sorry about this situation. 

     

     

    +1 :(

  4. Thrill Jockey is really jerking me around right now. I ordered the pink variant of the new Body album (which is now sold out through them) and the new Matmos. When I placed the order, I slipped up and forgot to include my apartment number. Honest mistake, and I emailed them three minutes later to let them know the correction. At the time I didn't have a phone number for them, and they don't have one listed on their site.

     

    Of course they shipped it out without the apartment number. To make matters worse, I get a reply to my email THE DAY AFTER they shipped it confirming the correct address. My local USPS branch didn't even try to deliver it, they just marked it Undeliverable and sent it back. USPS tracking says it apparently left the distribution center April 6 and is in transit to the return destination. I've called USPS multiple times (including both local post offices) to try and get it resolved or tracked down. They say it could take up to 30 days. 

     

    Tonight I called Thrill Jockey and spoke with Chris. I was hoping they'd offer an "exchange". I didn't expect my shipping cost back, and I offered to  pay for the new shipping, even though I did my due diligence. In an earlier email with them they even suggested a refund, but tonight they wouldn't budge. I got a "sorry, you should have got it insured". Finally I agreed to wait one more week, and Chris is supposedly going to contact USPS and email me back. I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt, but I already called my bank and they said this situation is eligible for a fraud claim. I love Thrill Jockey as a label and I'd hate to have to go that route, but they dropped the ball and seem like they don't want to work with me on this at all. On top of that, I could tell Chris was fighting to not give me an attitude, even though I remained calm. 

     

    This sucks and I needed to rant. I just wanna listen to my records. Anyone else have similar experiences with them?

  5. So guys just a heads up that SoundStageDirect is doing a 13% off sale on their site right now through the end of today using coupon code "treat13" at checkout. If you buy the box set (and live in the USA) you can get it for $57 shipped which includes free media mail shipping. Probably the cheapest price I've seen so far.

    Thanks for the heads up... This is a steal for a 6 LP box set. BTW the promo code "treat13" at SoundStageDirect is still working as of now, just scored this for $57.41 shipped. Can't wait to get my hands on this.

  6. Got a cancellation notice on Modest Mouse - LCW this morning :(

     

    Just called, they re-placed the order, honored the same price, and said they won't charge shipping since it was part of an order that I already paid shipping for. I don't mind waiting for this at $14.98. They seem like a great company, I placed three orders with 15 records total and this is the only one that hasn't shown up. I've been very pleased.
