dantheriver Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I just got a shipping notification for my order. Although it was just one record. Same here. Can't wait to have to keep up with 7 separate shipping notifications while I'm out of the country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cambionic Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 i got two e-mail responses back. one just said the code has expired. sorry for any inconvenience. the other said they are looking into it. my question for them was why are you going to send out a code earlier that day and say it expires 3/31 but doesnt work. shouldnt you honor it. we shall see if i get a response... Seems kinda shady. Do you think they'd be contractually obliged to uphold the original date? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When did you order/they send you a message? I bought a single record at 6 am this morning with the discount code and haven't heard from them yet. Hopefully it works.. I got the velvet underground Quine tapes box set for like 70 bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highfives Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Same here. Can't wait to have to keep up with 7 separate shipping notifications while I'm out of the country. Sorry, I meant I only bought one record. If you only got shipping notice on one out of 7 records ordered, that's some silly shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinatra.45 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I ordered three records & they're shipping one. They're stating that the other two will be shipped when available although both were in stock at the time the order was placed. My guess is they will honor one LP, like the coupon states, but the rest won't go through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apirk Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 If you order multiple items chances are you'll get multiple shipments because each item could come from a separate place and some places are quicker with shipping then others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good call. Five minutes after my post another email came saying that all shipped together. Kinda confusing communication but whatever. It's a good deal if it's one or three.

vinylfilmaholic Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 They will ship one by one. That's happened every time I've ordered more than 1 record at a time from them. It's ridiculous but I've always received my records. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiatorhums Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I've had it happen both ways. Sometimes I get them all in one package, last time I got them in two packages (from the same location as far as I could tell). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiatorhums Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Just got a shipping confirmation. 2 tracking numbers for 3 records, both from Amarillo, TX. Silly Hastings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lampwick Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Just got a shipping confirmation. 2 tracking numbers for 3 records, both from Amarillo, TX. Silly Hastings. I've had that happen too, on an order about a year ago. I think they create the labels from headquarters. When it happened then, one ended up coming from a store near Boise, ID and the other a store near Walla Walla, WA. I've only ever ordered from them twice in the past, but both times, the records were just shipped between a flattened piece of cardboard that had been taped closed. I think only one item of all three orders showed up without some manner of bend on the corners. Hoping for better when this new order arrives but my expectations aren't high, especially if they're dealing with a large volume of new orders at the same time.

Gesundheit Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Wish I'd caught this when the code was still active. All the same I think there were some pretty good deals there. I picked up Graceland, Pretty Hate Machine, Black Messiah and Violator. I was hoping to snag Amadou and Miriam for under $10, but I suppose that even luck has its limitations.

downisthenewup87 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Just realized Del Ray's album is on sale... if only that coupon code would come back online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cambionic Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 The fact that they reneged their coupon is a little fishy. At least they didn't cancel all the orders that used it, but it's still a bit of a repugnant business practice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsgoodtobefree Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Ugh, I was going to wait until next Tuesday so I could order their exclusive Modest Mouse along with some other stuff. Sucks they removed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you really wanted to, you could probably convince them to give you the discount. Because legally, they kinda have to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should just follow through with their 3/31 date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinylfilmaholic Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 All of mine have been shipped (sorry to keep bumping). One was sent USPS, the rest in one package UPS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should just follow through with their 3/31 date. As is my order from 24 hours ago. But if you wanted to order more, you probably could if you asked them to correct your total. Companies can't just send out big coupons like that & not honor them immediately afterwards. The only difference is that, because of the way the coupon is stated, you may only be able to order 1 at 30% off. Or at least that's what I read into it.

If you really wanted to, you could probably convince them to give you the discount. Because legally, they kinda have to. Legal nerd alert. It falls under a concept called an invitation to treat. There's no contract, and no obligation for them to sell to you at the advertised discount. The terms aren't specific enough for there to be a contract (e.g. shipping is not addressed, and it's unclear if it applies to only one item). deletedunknown, cambionic, Gesundheit and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
