I'm not sure if this is true for all locations, however, my local UO (Urban Outfitters) has recently more than tripled their inventory of exclusive tightly packed, bent corner vinyl.  Used to be just one shelf of Haim and Dr. Dre LPs but they now have sections for noticeably mishandled Indie, Rock, Jazz and Soul, and Electronic/Pop records.  I also spotted some used records- The Cars, Aerosmith, Bob Dylan, U2, some other classic rock bands- that were labeled with a "vintage vinyl" sticker on the album's nicked and shelf-damaged cover.  Anyway, I figured I would start a new thread for folks to post release news, damaged product purchase stories, and eventual mass clearance sale info in 2015/2016.

I blame this all on Cake.

No idea what a Far Cry is or what any of this means but it sounds scandalous and I'd like minute to minute updates. Ty.

Bought Lets Talk About Feelings completely blind in middle school. Awesome album.
I also bought MU330's self titled album blind and still love it.

I don't have any problems with mine but it's mostly cause I'm on backorder.

All my albums are invisible.

There has to be a few passionate whiners whose box sets are still on backorder and are willing to email bomb Connextion about an ETA and then report back here. Get on it. Thank you.

I usually buy as much product as I can fit in my arms for this exact reason. You just don't want to miss out on any potential releases, even if it means becoming a blind animal snatching records out of sheer apprehension.

"Those 12 still unsold copies of Ice T's Greatest Hits." - every record store in my city

Cake is purposefully shipping these poorly so there will be damage, we'll return them for a refund, they'll only refund $99, and they'll pocket the $35 shipping fee (minus the cost for two-way shipping, materials, time and distribution). I will not just stand idly by while this thievery goes on unchallenged!

"Just doesn't cut it"
"Lying"
"Pocketed"
"Straight up lie"
 
You're using some pretty extreme, loaded language to describe a situation that we have very little info about.  I agree that it's an oversight in packaging to allow these things to arrive banged up.  The band/distributor should address that.  But you're going to drive yourself mad with this nefarious "they're out to rob me" narrative you're building around a high but not unheard of shipping cost.  Allow the band and people involved to finish sending all the packages out and address concerns about shipping quality before we accuse them of stealing and lying $20.

Opened my copy.... scored the 7" test.
