Insound is running a HUGE sale right now


Recommended Posts

I was able to order four which came out to $40.46 plus $14.46 for shipping ($54.92 total).

Shipped
Boy - Mutual Friends  9.99 

Backordered
The New Pornographers - Together 13.49
The Middle East - Recordings of the Middle East 6.99
Hospitality - Hospitality 9.99

I am a bit worrisome though as they only shipped one, but charged $19.95 to my card which is the price of the LP plus 68% of the total shipping costs.

I'm late to the party. Spent too long going through each page and finding great stuff only to go to checkout and find that half is on back order. My experience with Insound's back order is that it never gets fulfilled, so I just removed them, and now I'm left with some 7" and a couple albums I don't really need. It felt like a huge waste of time but again, I'm pretty late.

I received these ones in the mail today:

1 Colin Stetson - New History Warfare (Full-Length) (LP)
1 Jim O'Rourke - Bad Timing (LP)
1 Melt Banana - Cell-Scape (LP)
1 Secret Pyramid - Movements of Night (LP)
1 Sight Below - Glider (2xLP)
1 Silent Servant - Negative Fascination (LP)
1 The Humble Bee - Henrietta (LP)
1 Yob - The Great Cessation (2xLP)
1 Various Artists - Vinyl Grab Bag (5xLP)

The packaging could have been better, many of them have corner bends. These ones I ordered were "In stock" when I bought them but they are out of stock somehow apparently, I wonder if they will ever send them.


1 Carissa's Wierd - Ugly But Honest (Reissue) (2xLP)
1 Donato Dozzy and Nuel - The Aquaplano Sessions (2xLP)
1 Harald Grosskopf - Synthesist | Re-Synthesist (LP+CD)
1 Miles - Faint Hearted (2xLP) (This one they still have for sale on their Amazon page?!?!!?!?!?!?)
1 Shed - The Traveller (2xLP)
1 Supersilent - 10 (LP)
1 Supersilent - 11 (LP)
1 Circle - Taantumus (2xLP)

 

 

 

Also the grab bag contained:

 

Shocking pinks- cutout/ dressed to please

Amanda Mair- s/t

Born gold- bodysongs

Boy Least Likely To, The ‎– The Law Of The Playground

Aloha  ‎– The Great Communicators, The Interpreters, The Nonbelievers

I got a package (in Canada) from Insound with 5 of 6 records I had ordered. Paid a lot for shipping (as we Canadians always do), and despite the fact that the package was worth $42, UPS wanted almost $40 for brokerage fees at the door. I called UPS, because that is bullshit to the max, and they said that most of the brokerage fees come from shipping UPS Ground - the fee for shipping UPS Airmail would be a flat $10 plus $4 fee and duty if any, which would mean that the total should have been $20 or so if Insound had shipped Air. But then I realized that when checking out, the shipping is listed as 'International Air - Canada & Mexico'. So I wrote Insound about this, and said that I thought that it would be fair for them to refund me $20 because they didn't ship the way they said they would.

 

And, would you believe it, they wrote back about 24 hours later, and refunded me the $20, and said sorry for any inconvenience.

 

Given the history of poor customer service, I was downright in shock. Good on them. They'll keep me as a customer for now.

I got some more records from the sale today, this time every single record has a damn corner bend, also I bought some cds from them and 2 of the ones they sent were the wrong ones. Did anyone here get a discount from them when complaining about corner bends?

Probably not, because shit happens. It isn't insound's fault the post office bent the corner of your record by not being careful with it.

It is their fault as their packaging is terribly insufficient, they just threw them all in a large box with one tiny bubble wrap sheet on the top as "protection".
