Everyone needs to chill on that White Knight bullshit. Nobody is attacking Flood. People can be disappointed. This distribution was pretty fucked and it was USPS's fault. Arguing with them is equivalent to yelling at a brick wall and 0 fucks would be given by them. Seems like this destruction originated near Asbestos's shipping origin given how wide spread it is.
I don't expect them to send me another copy coupled with two dozen roses, but as someone who is willing to pay for a medium that people openly brag about getting for free I'd like to think labels respect and appreciate my business. I just don't see why I need to ship back a fucked up record on my dime when I've publicly shown how abliterated it is.
I'm pretty loyal when it comes to labels/bands/distros. The second you make me feel like a helpless victim is the second I decided I will never do business with you again.
I will not pay $24.99 for a skinny single Sum 41 LP. No matter how happy the the friend I was going to give it to would be. I might be exaggerating the situation but the principal is more important to me. I'm not a liar or a beggar. Just some dude that wants to get stoked on shit.
Edit: I was like 3 glasses of wine deep when I wrote this.
