Today is that day! Stick a nail in the coffin of the SRC pressing. Apparently, the band has acquired the rights to repress their first two records. If SRC already has your money, you've been screwed. We are getting a legitimate official release ... https://www.facebook.com/humbandofficial/posts/250197533132027

Some good news. Citi instantly approved permanent (not conditional) credits for the transactions. This surprised me. No investigation, no documentation needed, nothing. Case instantly closed. I wonder if SRC has a history with Citi and they just instantly approve any disputes. Good luck to anyone sticking it out with SRC for this pressing. It isn't worth dealing with crooks and con artists. If I miss out, so be it. Congrats to anyone that actually gets one, one day ... maybe. Assuming, that is, it isn't warped upon arrival in flimsy SRC packaging.

15 days and no reply to support requests. It has now been over a year since they charged me, so I can't even dispute the Hum charge. SRC's practices are super shady. At least one of the two transactions I can still charge back. F* Danny Keyes

I can live with that

Yeah, seriously. Like many others, I took the SRC bait before coming to this forum. Live and learn.

Couldn't agree more. No matter how much you want a record - run, very fast in the opposite direction from SRC. Or at least wait until it is released and consider buying from someone else (like Bullmoose.)

Finally giving up on this and cancelling my preorder. Of course, they charged my credit card last July even though their policy clearly states they won't do so until it ships. It should be fun trying to get a refund out of them. I'm certainly past any window of disputing with my credit card company. As if the 15 months since I placed my preorder wasn't enough, yesterday I received yet another damaged shipment from SRC. This is the 2nd release in a row that has arrived severely warped. The last was almost a year ago. Hard to believe they still have these damage issues. In this case, even the sleeves had tears and there was major ring wear on the cover. Like the last damaged shipment, there were no obvious sign of damage to the mailer. So either these things were stacked horizontally at some point. Or (what I suspect) is that their abysmally thin mailers are to blame. I can't believe this company is still in business. So even if by some miracle this preorder actually ships at some point, there is a very good chance it will (needlessly) arrive damaged. No thanks, I'm done with SRC.

You saw that notification that something was posted to this forum on today's scheduled release date.. For a brief second, you thought that finally ... finally, it shipped. Now 8/28/2020 ...

New street date is 5/29/2020

Well, seems pretty obvious that yet another release date has come and gone. Might as well make it official and push this thing beyond a year overdue.

Only 2 more days to go to find out what the new release date will be ...

SRC stealth updated the release date AGAIN on their website … now 3/6/2020

SRC was communicating with me for most of 2019 when I would occasionally ask for a shipping update. Then, last month they suddenly went radio silent and just started ignoring requests for a shipping update. I think it has been over a month on one request and 2 weeks on the other and no reply. Always a really good sign when communication just stops - tells you everything you need to know. The thing that really sucks is that they charged me (and I assume everyone else) about 2 months back. Likely the reason they are stringing everyone along. They will have to issue refunds. Nice that their policy is that they don't charge your CC until the item ships! From the SRC website (where you can STILL order your copy) ... Do You Charge When I Order or When It Ships? We do both depending on which payment option you pick! We offer PayPal, Credit / Debit Cards and also Amazon Pay! If you pick PayPal or Amazon Pay you will be charged the second you place your order. If you pay using a Credit / Debit or Apple Pay or pick you will not be charged until your order ships! This is a great way to pre order records without having to pay until they actually ship!
