hey just letting everyone know, I still haven't received my replacement discs and the assholes at AnR are just not responding to my emails now.

I've contacted PayPal and my bank, but due to the almost 12 month difference between purchase and me contacting them, there isn't anything I can do.

I've got the email trail in a document, and am ready to post it up here for everyone to see. My mind is literally fucking exploding at how a company can just not respond to emails or lie to me about sending replacements.

I just need a really strong drink and to find the owners of that company and punch them in the throat.

repping VC hard online. this is hilarious.

now if only there was a mini-game where i could work out the worth of my variant collection via discogs and flip them on ebay for cash and RP.

Dragging this thread back from the grave..

Look what I just got...

1986 Eddy Merckx Corsa Extra Road Frame with full Shimano 600 8-speed group set. What a dream.

best part about grabbing the 2m red cart is that down the line you can upgrade the stylus to the blue for a fraction of the cost!

I'm about due for a stylus change and am thinking of going that route - I bought all of my gear from clef hifi in south melbourne. Great little hifi store.

I just requested to join the crew. cannot wait.

I know they had nothing to do with it. Didn't you count the "highly"s in my response, haha. Sorry though, don't know what to tell ya

Yeah I got your drift, just can't seem to even fathom how fucked a company can be to not respond to a customer. its sort of sucked out any remaining humor I used to have..

barsuk had nothing to do with the box set other than counting all the money they made from the licencing costs. Its just such a shame, because I was really looking forward to this box set and I guess for no particular reason, I'll never have the full set because AinR refuse to check their fucking email.

anyone??

So, exhuming an old post here just to let everyone know that hilariously, I still haven't got the replacement records from AinR... I've sent them numerous emails and so far have only received one response on August 16th shown below.

Sorry for the lack of communication.  Due to everyone's set having the same issue with the set, we've had a huge increase in email.  And many of our customers have been replying to the email we sent everyone or sending messages with identical subject titles.  So our email provider has been filtering some of the messages to a junk folder and we may have not been able to recover your previous messages.
 

The replacements for the mislabeled albums did ship direct from the manufacturer.  They should have arrived by now too, so we can ship another set to your address.  The correctly labeled records will ship by next week.

To say I'm annoyed is an understatement. its now almost October and two emails to them later and I still haven't got a response from them as to why I haven't got the replacements.

I've been emailing them on [email protected] - does someone know a different email address that I could write to? this is just absolutely insane!!!

I've emailed these guys 3 times to find out what is going on with time frames for the replacements and had no response at all. I am amazed at their lack of professionalism. Very disappointed.

I don't have a passthepopcorn invite but I do have REAL popcorn AND butter. It'll be tough to let go, but for a what.cd invite I think I could do it.

seems legit

I've got a few what.cd invites i'd be willing to trade for an invite to passthepopcorn.me - send me a pm and ill sort it out!

repping my local record store.

Ritual Music

so stoked to get this!

pulled the trigger. lucky I've got a deal with a freight forwarder. Living in Australia sucks.

Anyone in Australia want one so we can go halves on shipping? $243 PPD is just crazy, my wallet will murder me in my sleep...

im keen. very keen.

and here is where I realise I have too many band tattoos.....

Millencolin

Ergs

Sunny Day Real Estate

Descendents

Jawbreaker

Neutral Milk Hotel (old picture, my arm is now completely done)

saw this pop up on my 'gram feed. looks amazing. who did it?

so stoked on this. saw these guys back in 09 when they came to australia. didn't disappoint.

A bit long, but his dedication to his innocence is admirable.

Australian stupidity at its best. love this. best part about it, is that if he just kept refusing to go to the police station and stuck to his drunken story he wouldn't of been able to be forced to go with them. Legend.

wonder what actually happened. but yeah. super bummed.

absolutely worst news ever. what a way to start my day

i must need a better job. Don't know how all you guys afford tattoos, records, shows, and basic expenses. That's it; i'm getting rich.

For the past two years, my girlfriend and I had fairly steady paying jobs with fairly cheap rent and no kids or other major expenses so record buying and tattoos were my only real expenses.... this year the girl has quit her job to study so I'm the only one bringing in money so its going to be a lot harder to keep up the hobbies...

its a good thing her sister is my tattooer though!!!

Got this one the other day... 

and then this topped it all off
