kannibal Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 So this just arrived. For those curious, the LP was shipped in a sturdy cardboard envelope instead of a record mailer with no padding inside. Nothing was damaged and it was shipped media mail. Listening now. $10 S&H!!!

morfiend Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Still doesn't bother me, especially since I'm working on RSD and would've had to pay that amount or more in gas when buying a copy from Easy Street anyway. The money is going straight to the artists as well, which is great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kannibal Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Still waiting on mine over here on the east coast. I thought for sure it would have come by today. I emailed Barrett for a tracking number. Hopefully he has one and sends it over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kramer73 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 just got mine today in WI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kannibal Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Barrett got back to me quickly (very cool) and said they don't do tracking for domestic shipping and I should just be patient. Slightly offended as all I said in my email was "thanks for shipping out my record, can you provide a tracking number? All my info is below." It's not that I'm being impatient, I just don't want my record sitting on my porch in the sun or rain all afternoon. I've been coming home from work early everyday to rescue it and it hasn't been here. I know it can take over a week coming from the PNW. But for $10, I thought for sure it was being sent priority, but instead it's MM without delivery confirmation. Booooo!!!! /rant Okay. Glad I got that off my chest.

shifres Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I just ordered from Barrett Martin, hope they still have it, didn't wanna pay $20 shipping at first but now it doesn't look like I have much of a choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spectrum Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Money going directly to artist aside, this thing was shipped so poorly, I am surprised mine made it ok... if you are charging that much for shipping it needs to be in a proper mailer, with tracking - period.

Yep, cereal box thin mailer was a stupid way to ship these out. I got lucky with no damage. Hopefully others will get theirs safely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kannibal Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Only updating because I've been bitching in the thread, but mine came today. Everything is well. I've already said my peace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregggdavis Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 yeah, wow, crappy packaging! mine got pretty dinged up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mortenso Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Starting to regret purchasing this from Sunyata now. Cereal box packaging does not bode well for the trip over the fucking Atlantic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kannibal Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Mine was perfect (12 days to eastern US), and the envelope was more sturdy than I thought it was going to be. Just a counter opinion to give you hope. Besides the crazy shipping $$$, the biggest crime just might be the cover art/design. I don't know why, but it doesn't really work for me. My LP had all this white dust on it, but looked fine after a cleaning. Pressing seemed nice, flat, quiet, so overall: good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExtraFox Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 We'll see what state mine is in once it's crossed the Atlantic. When I ordered last night, I put in a couple of US zipcodes to see how US shipping compared, and they were only charging $5. I used an east coast and a west coast (90210) zipcode. Another reason to get annoyed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kannibal Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Only $5 now? Whatever... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutchflowers Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 The $5 shipping now probably means he ran out of Cereal cardboard mailers and is just slapping a shipping label straight on the LP! But hey, it's got shrink wrap.. should be safe. ExtraFox 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExtraFox Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Grrrr, mine has to make it to the other side of the world... it's going to be a rough voyage... Mine arrived on this side of the Atlantic today in a cardboard envelope but in good shape. Still should have been sent in a better mailer. Also came with a price sticker on it of $18.99. Seems odd when I bought it direct from the label. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExtraFox Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 or maybe a copy that was being sold in-store for RSD? That would be the obvious answer except it wasn't supposed to be on sale in the US for RSD as it was running late. Has probably made it to a few stores now.

Speedpig Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Sorry to drag up an old thread, but thought people might like to know that this seems to be getting a general release on 14th July. Still on red vinyl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still on red vinyl. I think this it finally getting its 'RSD' release over here in the UK. The pages that are giving it as a July release are most of the usual UK indie suspects. I doubt more have been pressed, I just don't think it was released here on RSD (the only place I found it outside of Sunyata was a Scandanavian webstore whose name I never took in) and it was such a niche release that no fuss was made. Still, it's nice to see it will finally make it. It's a shame I paid to get it from Sunyata, but that's better than not having it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
