kidamnesiac Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Strange. I mailed a record today in a recycled Insound mailer. Heavy mailer with two pieces of cardboard and bubble wrap in it. Never had any trouble with them. Maybe they're cutting corners for the moving sale? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twistedshabazz Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 shipping is so awful from them. 6 records does not cost 20 dollars to ship... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoneyFrosted Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Decided to give Insound another shot. Found 5 7", one 10", and two 12" I was willing to buy for thirty bucks, seems solid. Oh wait, shipping is 17 dollars Media Mail for no fucking reason. Into the trash. Insound continues the tradition of never being good. They have the system of "add shipping money for every item added" regardless of what the actual shipping cost is going to be. And from the other comments in this thread, it doesn't seem like the shipping money is going into the actual materials, or making sure your items are going to arrive safely. What a joke.

plasma36 Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Hey, at least they're not ImportCDs, who charge $4 shipping per record and to whom "corner bend" means "you need a new record jacket" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwhitmuzik Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 sale just got boosted more, if i wasn't poor i'd probably spend 50-100 bucks on stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjkenney Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 if backordered items are purchased, do they generally get fulfilled or is it pointless to try; does anyone happen to know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ex lion tamer Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 if backordered items are purchased, do they generally get fulfilled or is it pointless to try; does anyone happen to know? Some people here have received back-ordered items, but it seems like for the most part Insound won't be fulfilling back-orders from this sale. Lots of good stuff has been added this time around. Between last week's update and today I picked up: 1 The Jealous Sound A Gentle Reminder (Deluxe Edition) Vinyl LP 1 Eleanor Friedberger Personal Record Vinyl LP 1 Liars They Were Wrong, So We Drowned (Reissue) Vinyl LP 1 Liars Mess Vinyl 2xLP+CD 1 Sharon Van Etten Are We There Vinyl LP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjkenney Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 damn! well it makes sense I suppose. passed this round, 3 things sold out while I was shopping =\ lots of great stuff still! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Tons of great stuff. My cart said one amount and when I went to check out it got bumped up by $5 and shipping was insane though. I'll pass again I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll pass again I guess. Yeah, shipping is ridiculous. I just shipped like 20 records to my brother with insurance, amazing packaging, for way less than what they charge. But then again, I'm not paying anyone to pack records all crap like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toomanyrecords Posted September 16, 2014 Author Share Posted September 16, 2014 Damn, put a ton of shit in my cart and went to it and 80% was backordered For the best, gotta hit that X sometimes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC1221 Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Amazing sale, but so much of what I want is backordered it isn't even worth it, especially when shipping is taken into account for the items that they do claim to have in stock.

natenomm Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Thank you to whomever bought that Disintegration Loops box set. Saved me $150! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twistedshabazz Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Clicked on like10 things, all back ordered. No thanks. Good titles though and hopefully some will be able to grab stuff.

aphasias Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 I've already had about $350 worth of records ship from Insound and just submitted another order for $48. I can't imagine how much I would have spent if so many items I wanted hadn't been on backorder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filthyrich Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Yes, Insound is an exercise in frustration... 4 things in cart, 2 things "no longer available" by the time I checked out, and I think the other 2 are BO now. (And $6.48 for MM for 2 records... which for Insound is "cheap.") I was amused that the $2 Gaslight Anthem single I ordered the first time around (and never shipped as it was "No Longer Available") suddenly appeared on THIS sale again. Ordered it again. Surprise! "No Longer Available" again!! But on a positive note, a BO of mine from the FIRST sale actually shipped! The ORG pressing of Incesticide... AND on colored vinyl! Who knew?!

slayerhatesusall Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I messaged them about 2 of the cds being the wrong ones and one of the records being damaged, and they refunded me for them and the shipping cost and let me keep them without having to send them back, so at least they have good customer service.

weededout Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 customer service has been on point this month as I've had so many issues with backorders, missing items, incorrect packing orders, etc. 40 backordered items on the first sale email order 3 on the second order 6 on the third (which i cancelled as remaining items were filler) all in all though picked up some decent stuff - the really good stuff I'm convinced was either OOS at the beginning or there was like one left.

just a normal guy kevin Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I almost got roped into this a few days ago when I saw they had Green Day's Smoothed Out LP on clearance but was quickly set free of the trap when it wouldn't go into my cart & I realized it was sold out and not even backorder-able.
