1,156 copies left. You should be good to wait.

Members-only for an initial amount of time, then it opens to all.

Shore, why not?
Wasn't it Amazon last time that had the signed exclusive copies? Hoping for more of that action.

Yeah, the only thing they have is your mailing address. No way in hell they come after you. They will just auction your shit and call it at a day. 

I'm sure you didn't agree to anything in terms and conditions when purchasing the items that would tie you into owing them money. You're absolutely right about that part.

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.

Wasn’t sure where to post...
  Safe, Secure, SELF Loans The SELF Loan is administered by the MN Office of Higher Education, a state... http://selfloan.state.mn.us   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 Loans The SELF Loan is administered by the MN Office of Higher Education, a state... http://selfloan.state.mn.   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).

from this US customs auctions site -

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. 

There is no way to remove yourself from this responsibility.
THANK YOU

Did you see the hunk they feature on their very professionally done website?
 

 
No way this guy's a scammer - unless he's committing a felony with my heart, that is...

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.

This sounds like one of those shady business that exploits government loopholes. It seems like they agree to take and store undeliverable packages from the government/postal service and are locating the recipients and sending them bogus invoices to see if they’ll pay. It’s probably legal because this is America but I have to believe you are under no obligation to respond or engage.

My experiences with overseas orders have been the same as you, aside from that weird letter you just posted.
 
My packages from Germany DID take forever, but arrived.
 
I would sit tight for a month, and if they don’t show up, call and contest the charge to Bleep, unless they send out replacements to you or something.

Really excited to save $40-50 by not buying this album.
