  1. That makes no sense. You can buy a car with cash. You can sign a simple one page bill of sale. In any event, a purchase is still a contractual relationship, despite not having to sign a bunch of formal documents. The point is, apparently people are willing to accept damaged goods at a certain price threshold. That's fine. I am not, and I don't think it should be an industry standard. Nor do I subscribe to the "it's the nature of the goods being sold to show up damaged" argument. It's silly. If you buy a new record, it should show up in new condition. That should not be a controversial proposition.
  2. I certainly wouldn't accept delivery without the issue being fixed---i.e., Sandbag should send replacement mailers and address their shipping issues, the first of which has already happened for a bunch of people on here with Deviations, including myself. My Before the Flood showed up perfect. The other records should too. There's no reason a company cannot get records to consumers in mint condition. They're brand fucking new.
  3. "Hey, I bought this record off Discogs and it says it was new and mint but it showed up with all these dings, seam splits, etc." "Yo, that's how it showed up to me from the label and also UPS, amirite?!" FOH.
  4. Cars get shipped on trucks. They get damaged. Hazard of shipping? If I buy a brand new record, it should show up in brand new condition. Don't care if it's $20 or $20,000. Apple and oranges, blah blah blah. We purchased a new product. It should show up that way. If you buy a carton of milk for $3 and it's spoiled, you should get a replacement. End of story. If I sold a product and it showed up in different condition than when it left my factory, I'd make it right. Fine that you're willing to settle for less, but that's not the rule.
  5. This. I recognize that some damage may have happened to others' during shipping, but my package was fine. Still had bent corners, creases, etc. I think the shrink-wrapping is what is damaging these things. They should really be shipping in sleeves, not run through shrink-wrapping machines.
  6. Anyone have any success with canceling part of an order? I'd like to drop my BTF soundtrack if possible, but want to keep the rest of the order. Didn't want to bug them if someone's already tried and been shot down. Also want to avoid the potential "your order has been canceled, thank you for emailing" response.
  7. The thread itself isn't solely dedicated to complaining. I stand by my comment pointing out the irony of someone complaining about Mark complaining, analogizing to co-workers complaining about the same thing over and over, in a thread full of people complaining about the same thing over and over---i.e., new Mark.
  8. I haven't gotten mine either. You'd think this would just be automated, but their website barely worked when I was ordering stuff. Like it wasn't scaled for desktop web browsing or something.
  9. Am I totally missing the link? Or are they gone again?
  10. If anyone grabs one at a show for me, I'll cover all the costs (record+shipping), and throw in for a pint of beer.
  11. With the all the anime and video game releases, I wish they'd do a Vampire Hunter D soundtrack, preferably with a "Your Song" bonus 7".
  12. Looks like the price went up. 20.49 pounds now, plus shipping.
