numanoid Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Called B&N yesterday to see if they had clear. Of course they didn't, but they said they'd call me once it came back in. I got a call today, it came in. I have a feeling it's black, but I didn't ask so I could be pleasantly surprised if it's on clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamJNovak Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Still in process mode for me. But checked to see if there were any stores that have it. There's one about an hour and a half away from me. Put in a reservation, I'm sure within the next 15/20 mins it will get shot down. If they do in fact have it. I'll pick it up tomorrow and keep my order open on the B and N website. Hopefully that will get processed eventually and I'll be more than happy to give someone that one (if everything works out). EDIT: shot down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcpherson123 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 I just ordered from Groupon. I have no idea what happens next. The last time I used my groupon account was in 2012 and it was for a local car wash. I guess I just wait for the record to come in the mail now as I would for any standard web store?

I called a store by me again today and they told me they only got one copy over the holiday and that they weren't able to order anymore. I hope you somehow get lucky.

soundofsilver Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 The packaging on this (black) is just amazing. Slick, sleek. Dark. Nice booklet. LP comes in thick, plastic sleeve. Not poly. Generic, like a pic disc would come in. I think I'll change that out. Makes everything a little too snug for my taste. Sounds great! His pic on the inside of the gatefold is a little haunting, but appropriate, considering Thankful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicondevil Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Just got shipping confirmation from Barnes for the black I ordered on the 11th. That was pretty quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntslash Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 My B&N just showed up. Mailer was essentially cardboard similar to importcds. Won't open until after work to see this disaster. Just got my clear from B&N Same packaging as described here. Everything is in perfect condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vinyl addict Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Not necessarily PVC. It's a hard clear plastic. More like styrene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundofsilver Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 So a PVC? Don't those fuck up records? not thick and flimsy. Thin and hard. this plastic 'wallet' inner just isn't a very good choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youspinmeround Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 not thick and flimsy. Thin and hard. this plastic 'wallet' inner just isn't a very good choice. It works well with the art.

Guest Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 I'd probably contact B&N, it's possible your order got lost in the system somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

idioteque... Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 I'd probably contact B&N, it's possible your order got lost in the system somewhere. They keep saying they're back ordered The guy who preordered in Nov should be upset but how else are they handling this poorly? Many others have ordered it pre monday and alot of them didn't get their copies. They oversold and are now quoting that theyre backordered. B&N customer service always bombs on things like this. Clear should have been an exclusive with another company or just record stores Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
