Gold has sold out in the eu as well as of yesterday afternoon, @lethalenforcer when do vmp pressings go on sale for non members?
I thought it was 48 hours but I may be wrong there. Anyone?

What's the VMP stock looking like now? I want it but would need to rejoin.. I'm afraid I'll lose the gamble of waiting for it to open up for non-members.
1,156 copies left. You should be good to wait.

"Our records will also contain a signed insert". So my guess would be that the prints from the blue copies stay at /2000 and we may get the insert of the record signed, who knows.
I think insert/print may be interchangeable terms here. My bet is that they'll sign 3,000 of the same exact thing (art print of the cover).

Yeah I got an email too, it's cool that they do it but i don't get why they don't sign the cover, would be cooler imo
Cover would have been great. Guessing it's logistically much easier (and cheaper) to have artists sign separate, lightweight art prints - especially when it's a huge quantity like 3,000.

Off you're right, sorry. I thought you meant the blue one in general, the prints have sold out as well here as it seems. So then the blue are not /2000 but just the prints?
Yeah the signed print is /2000 (/3000 if you include the ones that come with the red copies).
The blue variant itself seems to be a large webstore exclusive.

Blue with signed prints is still available here: https://eu.kingsroadmerch.com/fleet-foxes/view/?id=18469&cid=4496
I don't see anything mentioning a signed print on there? The EU/UK/DE stores all simultaneously (for me) removed the references about an hour ago.

Red clay - sold out
Spotify gold - sold out
Blue with signed prints - sold out
VMP blue - 1445 remain -

They may be full of shit (weird af thing to lie about) but someone on Reddit said Kingsroad told them the red is now /1000 and copies will come signed (guessing with a print, if true).

I can't find the "/1000" info anywhere though, i'm getting redirected to a german store though so maybe that's why
It was in an email sent out, not on the page itself.

Is the signed print + blue sold out? Can't add to cart.

Can someone explain that VMP thing to me? I've never ordered from them and the site says "non-member price 45" and "member price 40" but i can't seem to order it without being a member... and i don't want to become one
Members-only for an initial amount of time, then it opens to all.

Eh, they're morons if they didn't expect 500 copies to be far too few and/or to not have additional webstore variants ready to go.
But with that preorder window there's ample time for anyone to cancel if they don't want it anymore.
-
Red clay is now just "limited" and no longer /500.
-
-
Media Mail worked for me. Surprised this is only /500 but perhaps they'll just add more colors once this one sells out.
Nabbed. On the lookout for signed copies/VMP next...
-
Store just went back online, no new items yet though.

It doesn't help that ebay does absolutely nothing to users who don't pay
Yep. A non-paying buyer can literally hold the seller hostage for over a month simply by not responding to payment reminders, messages, unpaid claims. eBay blows in that regard.
Some sellers will extend Second Chance Offers if they happen to have multiple copies of something as well. Even if the winning bidder pays they figure they can unload their other one for a few bucks less.

looks like a real business that does what it says it does. from the looks of it, this is the fault of bleep. they did not provide the proper paperwork to have this clear US customs, so it gets sent to this warehouse in a hold until the proper paperwork is provided by sender.
Verrry interesting. So, it makes sense that unclaimed things may wind up somewhere and eventually get auctioned or burned (I guess)... but I have zero clue how this place has any right to charge me anything for holding the package. I wonder if it's just a scare tactic. I'd simply let it lapse and wait for my PayPal refund via Bleep, but the monthly charge this place is seeming to apply to my "invoice" along with threatening going to collections has me a bit anxious about taking that approach.

I submitted a PayPal claim. I hope I won't have any problem getting my original ~$300 back, but it's these new "fees" that are troublesome.

The invoice and website are littered with typos, it's comical. And the gov't URL they reference in the second letter they sent doesn't even work.

My wife works in aerospace and she says they do this with airplane parts when a company doesn’t “clear customs” on a package and the company does have to pay expensive warehouse fees in those scenarios. But she seemed confused by the notice that they’ll destroy your merch, even if you pay, and that they won’t ship it back out to you after you pay the fees. In her experience, sometimes a company doesn’t get initially notified of customs issues or they get notified and drop the ball and they end up getting these fees but the package should then be put back on track to getting shipped to them. Might be worth seeing if you have any import/export experts in your family or friend group or find some kind of chill lawyer in that realm who would be willing to help explain what your obligations are. This sucks that they can do this to a random individual over a package of records.
Good to know. Appreciate you sharing it with your wife. I’m clueless when it comes to all of this stuff and am just hoping I can avoid any insane battles with these scumbags. Will probably wait a bit first to see if Bleep says anything back. I know calling the warehouse itself will just result in intimidation and trying to get me to just pay up, which is pretty sickening. I just don’t understand what grounds they even have to stand on here.

It’s probably legal because this is America but I have to believe you are under no obligation to respond or engage.
Sure hope so. They loaded those letters with scare tactics and threatened going to collections, etc., all for charges that make zero sense. Maddening.

Sounds like a scam to me.
Yeah I don’t know how this random place can, out of nowhere, send all of these random insanely high fees to me. How could anyone protect theirselves against this type of thing if it’s legit?
Bleep was cooperative with me when I emailed them in mid-August when I said I thought the packages were lost. They told me the items were with customs and to sit tight... and now this. They didn’t respond when I followed up twice again last week.

Wasn’t sure where to post...
Safe, Secure, SELF LoansThe SELF Loan is administered by the MN Office of Higher Education, a state...I ordered two separate multi-item orders from Bleep (UK) a while back, around $175/ea order including shipping, and I’ve presumed they were lost after both shipped in early July.
Safe, Secure, SELF LoansThe SELF Loan is administered by the MN Office of Higher Education, a state...I just received a letter from “Brick Mountain Warehouse” in New York who is claiming I owe them, out of the blue, $450 for holding my package(s?) and I’m being told they may still destroy my items after I pay the mandatory fees. Oh, and they can’t ship them to me, I’d have to pick them up in New York (I live in chicago).
Photos of the letters they sent me.
I was never contacted by anyone telling me any additional information or any type of duty fees were required to get my packages unstuck.
Has anyone experienced anything like this? I’ve been ordering things overseas for over a decade and have never had a single issue before (save for maybe an actually-lost package once or twice).
