The Taint Tickler

UK folk, if you’re like me and want everything here but panicked at the beefy $70 shipping, these are all available to preorder on Amazon UK with a release date of February 7th.

VMP's Art Director (Clay Conder) saying he thinks the vinyl is only through Chance's site.

Looks like we're finally getting official pressings of everything boys 

Just got an email from Rough Trade to say UK allocation has been cut for every shop but that RT plan to make up the shortage in copies from their NY shop.

I complained more and got another £10 off. So it's costing me £2.99. I'll take it!

Man I wish I had whoever handled your complaint.. I had to go through 3 advisors and even show them this thread before they reluctantly gave me a fiver credit. Gutted when I saw the cancellation email.

Told em right away i was doin paypal dispute and that they shouldn t send it.

However they did next day....

 

Moreover DHL can t deliver in my mailbox (too Small). Needs to get it in person. So I won t take it and shall be returned to sender I guess...

  

 

Yeah same. It's probably gonna get caught up in customs so I plan to just let it rot there and let them return it to sender.

Yeah I got my shipping notice yesterday morning after opening the case yet woke up to an email this morning saying they accepted my case for a full refund so don’t give up.

i m on the same boat. And their customer service isn t very friendly and helping...

paypal dispute on going...

Yeah I opened a PayPal dispute yesterday, quoting not even getting so much as a shipping notification, and funnily enough I got a dispatch note this morning.. If it makes it through customs alright I'll just accept it but if there's a customs fee I'm gonna let it sit there and be returned to sender.

I guess I can see how it's annoying being from the UK, but are you sure that Amazon has the clear variant?

If it makes anyone feel better it sounds good and looks nice haha.

Yeah some folk have bought it from Amazon and posted pictures. General consensus is the only pressing is clear, no black or any other variant.

As an international customer I'm pissed, yeah. The $25/£20 I paid just for the shipping to the UK is how much it now costs to buy the exact same version from Amazon. With free shipping, quicker delivery, no customs fees, etc.

I normally don't mind paying more and supporting an artist directly (and if it was a separate/webstore variant I'd have no problem at all) but when the vinyl is put up for sale on your site with other '24 hour only' merch that's already sold out and is the only place to get it at the time - giving it the perception of being limited - yet it turns out Amazon/virtually every music retailer are stocking the exact same pressing at a fraction of the price with significantly great convenience, it's pretty annoying. I haven't even got a shipping notification.

Yeah this is an instant purchase.

Case/Lang/Veirs £9.94

Master P - Ghetto D £5.67

clipping. - Splendor & Misery (Loser Edition) £11.97

And, since it is the season: 

Elvis Presley - Christmas with Elvis and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra £9.99

They do free international shipping if you spend $50, or at least they did the last time I ordered something 

Looks like that's over, sadly. 

$30 shipping to the UK for Mac. Fuck off, UO.

Anyone got leads on the vinyl me plz variant?

Emailed them about it the other day and it would appear even they don't have any leads on it at the minute.

All jazzed for this until I saw $24 international shipping. No thanks.

Waited years for this, only for shipping to the UK to be $60. Fuck.

Standard retail date here in the UK has been pushed back to the 14th of July.

Recordstore.co.uk has a signed deluxe vinyl. Great option here in europe.

Nabbed one. Appreciate the heads up.

$80 to ship the bundle to the UK. Where the fuck do they come up with these prices? 

Yeah their site has had a "sorry for the high international shipping prices" message for a while. But plenty of other artists/labels in the US manage to ship to the UK for a more than reasonable price.

Yeah this is more limited than many seem to have thought, myself included. So much so that our shop had our allocation cut and the same is happening to others. I wouldn't hang about if you're thinking about grabbing a copy.

Got a copy of The Cribs if anyone missed out. Sale or trade.

Thanks

Sorry for taking so long to get back to you. It sold out on the day, hopefully you can still get your hands on it once flipping prices calm down, if you haven't already. Sorry I couldn't help.

Anyone know anywhere other than Banquet in the UK with Space Jam?

Lol, I'm not surprised there hasn't been any interest. Do you think you can  help me out?

Wouldn't be surprised if it was the sort of thing people just pick up on the morning. But I'll certainly see what I can do.
