how many orders do you have not delivered yet


Recommended Posts

3 orders that I can think of right now:

- New Aphex and Morricone's Milano Odia from Amazon,

- 3 grindcore 7"s from Poland (Mortalized, CSSO and Gate),

- a cd from Discogs (Final Exit comp).

 

Oh wait, there's also that Entomed thing that I have been waiting on for about a year now. That's 2 lp's.

It's 6 right now, which just might be an all time high for me, since I almost always get all my stuff from the record store I'm working at. That whole 'Deathconsciousness being one of my favorite albums ever so let's order ALL the variants and ship 'em overseas'-story is quite an exception on my end and I am so happy when they finally arrive for FUCKS sake and all those nightmares of destroyed records end and I never ever ever have to preorder anything ever again UGH.

I have 2 records in transit... usually 1 or 2 a week is my average. I have a couple others preordered (AFX, Tweedy, Nick Cave UK reissues), but I don't count those as "not yet delivered". It ebbs and flows... some weeks I get a package every day; other weeks nothing at all.

 

I don't begrudge someone spending all of their spare income on a favorite hobby. I've been guilty of overspending myself in the past... I can't tell you how many times I ended up eating pasta and cereal all week because I dropped my last bundle of cash on music or video games. As long as my rent and bills were paid, I didn't care so much about food and entertainment budgets.

 

That was 12 years ago though, so I was also single and living alone.

Since I'm moving at the end of the month my "in the mail" list is significantly less than usual. Through out the year, that thing is usually about 15 - 20 deep at any given time.

 

However I'm just waiting on the following (pre orders mostly):

 

Foo Fighters - Sonic Highways

Coheed and Cambria - IKSSE:3 (black)

Coheed and Cambria - IKSSE:3 (grey)

Alexisonfire - Box Set

Jimmy Eat World - Futures

Set & Setting - A Vivid Memory

If These Trees Could Talk - S/T & Above The Earth (2x)

If These Trees Could Talk - S/T & Above The Earth (Test Press)

If These Trees Could Talk - S/T & Above The Earth (screen print) (2x)

Third Man Records Vault (White Stripes)

Since the start of this year I've averaged 15 to 20 incoming before I (try to) take it easy on the ordering and they start coming in consistently. I currently have 12 on the way, though I've been waiting months for the Brightside LP from BWM :(

As far as budgeting goes, I'm fortunate to have two part-time-above-minimum-wage jobs that still allow me time to enjoy listening to my collection. I took on the second job basically just for vinyl and some extra for bills haha

am i the only one that doesn't really keep track of what they have coming in?

i think i have 6? new dads, 2x TWIABP,

jawbreaker reissue, LCW, new sbtrkt

I have 4 folders in my inbox to help me keep track: preorders, regular orders, shipping notifications and download codes.

As they come in I just move them out of the folder back to the general population.

Everyone here is making me realize I really need to cut back though. I have around double the amount of orders as the next highest totals I've seen. I already stopped myself from impulse ordering 2 records, progress!
