mrbyers2009 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 My order status for Root Beer Brown says "shipped"... and I still never got any notification via email about the situation... anyone else? Mine is still awaiting fulfillment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexH. Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Pre orders are not all about money. It's about making sure you can meet the demand of needed product. Huh? How does taking money upfront change your ability to meet demand for the better, or at all? How would things not go smoother if you have your shit together before you open up shop? The quantity pressed was stated upfront, so you're not adjusting your order sized based on preorders. So aside from being getting paid a few months early by a few thousand The Hobby!!! collectors who will, at best, be patient (LOL nope), and at worst, complain publicly about inevitable delays (if you announce them) or send you tons of emails and speculate on message boards (if you decide to leave them in the dark), what are the advantages of doing preorders, exactly? diabretic and Fridge Fox 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm curious on the advantages of preordering as well. Please enlighten us. I remember having to wait Damn near eight months for my have gun will travel preorder and now looking back that's kind of messed up to take people's money for that long. diabretic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mindovermatter Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 If you guys believe that magically only one variant was affected by faulty shipping OR that an ENTIRE variant was "ruined" in transit, then you are fools. Not ONE record survived? Impossible. This is the least plausible excuse I have ever heard. I would need to see some photos before I can even start to swallow this. tokimedo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first assumtion says "some are ruined, let's sell the NOT ruined copies to other distros while simultaneously ordering the new records." But i really do wonder....they probably will sell the others in an "some lost copies of YAMS were found in the warehouse!" post Then again..I have no idea Stinks for everybody but I'll be glad to get a quality product after it's all said and done. At least it's not years late, I still shudder and the Star Wars Ep I fiasco.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seafinch Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Has there been any word on the BMT release date (or pre-order date)? I read through the thread and didn't see anything, but could definitely have missed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbyers2009 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 We were supposed to receive an update "early this week". Surprise...no update. I just got an email back from Danny at SRC and he said they were told 8-12 weeks and then he said they told him it would be sooner so who knows. I'm curious about the medicine trees announcement as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fridge Fox Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 I now understand why people complain about SRC. It is an unfortunate situation for everyone but they are handling the situation poorly. I'm just waiting to see how it plays out but they marked my order as shipped and never sent me an email about delays. I guess this means they are sending me a salvaged one from the ruined load? who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
