dreamover Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Well shit... It was brought to my attention by Bullmoose today (for another order) that my credit card had been declined. The reason for this is because I had placed an order at the time with a now expired credit card. This then made me realize that I had also placed my order for Sigur Ros - Takk with the same (now expired) credit card. Referring to the other order, they told me that in order for my order to go through, I'd have to cancel and reorder it and that I just can't edit/update my credit card info. Which brings me to this: I'm pretty much fucked out of this release now right? It's sold out at Bullmoose so I can't just cancel and reorder it. I emailed them and asked if there was some way around this, but I'm waiting to hear back... this has happened to me with bullmoose on a limited release. they'll usually cancel your order and create a placeholder item for the same price and ask you to order that with a direct link.

YouTwo Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 When Bullmoose sent out the email saying when () would be released, they said if your payment information changed contact their customer service for assistance. So I'm sure they'll be able to help you out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They set up a "fake" transaction for the same amount the original order was for that you pay for using your new card information. Then they transfer it over to your original order and cancel the fake transaction. So I'm guessing you should be O.K. on this one but you'll have to see how they respond.

simple_torture Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Can confirm that if you re-order with Bull Moose, they hold your place in line--this happened to me with the Vinyl Films boxset, and I received my order. As Birdwell said, you'll only be screwed if they don't get enough to fulfill orders and you weren't in after the cutoff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Thanks so much guys. Made me feel a lot better. And unfortunately the "local record store" is out of the question. Closest one is about 45 minutes away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poweredbytrust Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 You could always ask your local Indepdent record store to order it for you....BullMoose doesn't know how many of this title they're getting. Try talking to your local Indepdent Record Store....tell them to order it from ThinkIndie Distro I see why you are saying that, and for US customers that might be the better (or the best) option in the end. Over here in Germany, prices seem to go a little steeper for the import though - I asked my local shop and they said they estimate that the price (if they get copies, that is) will be about 90€, which is around double the price the Amazon.com import was for me (I see that it's not guaranteed they will get copies anyway, but since I simply can't afford to pay much higher prices, it's basically this or nothing for me).

poweredbytrust Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 the band does have it in their webshop indeed, but they ship exclusively from the US (they repeatedly confirmed this on facebook). including shipping to europe, it comes down to more than 60€ for one copy.

Canuckle Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 That's very odd. Usually they have local European distribution (for example, try ordering almost anything else outside of the Takk reissue) that comes from the UK. Heck, they even had a place in Montreal for Canadian shipments. This must be pressed in the US and they a distributing them all from their distribution warehouse in Charleston I assume.

Canuckle Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Pressed at The Vinyl Factory in the U.K. distributed by ThinkIndie Distribution in Birmingham, AL Woah, then why ship the entire webstore allotment to the US to then ship a bunch back across seas at extra cost? Oh wait, nevermind, forgot how everyone outside the US is supposed to pay ridiculous shipping fees Also, another option for those looking to purchase this. It appears this may be in the VMP webstore for December at $39 USD, a steal if you ask me. I'm still holding out hope on my .ca preorder, but moreso for my local store who said they would hold a copy for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuckle Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Thanks for all you help and condescension Birdwell A ton of vinyl lovers are consistently pooched because of international shipping due to 'how the music industry works' so I apologize for our frustration and appreciate you telling us that's just the way it is. jbrana 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boooooooo. Don't be such a turd, dude. People were asking questions and birdwell answered them. Just because you didn't like the answer doesn't mean you have to be a jerk. He isn't the one who made things the way they are, and he has been pretty damn helpful for the entirety of this thread (and his tenure here on the forum).

I'll shut it. Back to Takk! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuckle Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Basically, your frustrations, while understandable, are misguided. Birdwell, apologies for the snarky remark. I wasn't in a great place yesterday and was rude. I do appreciate your insight from behind the belly of the beast. Next time I'll aim my snarkiness at the US and Canadian governments. Seriously... 0.76 cents on the dollar!? Really excited about this Takk repress, I see it popping up in more places so this must be getting a decent distribution, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuckle Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Apology accepted. I apologize if I came across rude....I just feel like a lot factors get overlooked when people start gett miffed at shipping prices. No problem at all. I think I get overly defensive when I hear US customers complain about shipping given I live a few miles from the border but often pay upwards of 30% more for a record because the shipping costs. Add in the conversion to Canadian dollars and a lot of albums I purchase through pre-orders or direct from a label end up costing me close to $40-50. Heck, I just grabbed the two exclusive pressing from Vinyl Me, Please for Ben Webster's Stormy Weather and LNT - B&S and each one cost me $50 a piece. It's up to me to actually purchase these items, but damn if it isn't frustrating and grating on the wallet! That's why I often turn to Amazon.ca or some of the resellers on Amazon.ca for preorders of larger pressings. But for items like Takk I try to go right to my local store to see if they can scoop it up for me. I really can't believe this pressing is happening. I definitely thought I'd have to wait a bit longer to see this given the love that was given for ( ) and AB recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know for certain, but I wouldn't be surprised if another pressing of Takk shows up not terribly long after this US pressing is finally out. For the record I don't know anything, just speculating ( ) is sitting in my local shop on the shelf if I didnt have a few headed my way i'd grab it. foiled again by trying to cover my ass and ordering from multiple shops.
