So a crate membership is a monthly fee I pay in order to have the privilege of buying records? Am I wrapping my mind around this correctly?

 

It's like if my local record store had a cover charge when you entered?

That's one way to look at it. I think it makes more sense to think of the crate membership fee as a flat shipping rate, e.g. $6 for shipping no matter how many records you buy from the store.

And if your record store carried exclusive variants that some people shit themselves over and-or proceed to flip.  The subscription fee also covers shipping costs.

it is a shipping charge more then anything.. that $6 fee allows you to buy unlimited records and not worry about anymore shipping being added on.

How many records do they have for sale each month? 

I was a member for 3 months but took this month off until the avalanches album drops soon so I do not know how many are in there right now but they have a decent selection of exclusives every month, all the backlog of albums of the month that have not sold out yet and then some general releases sprinkled in.. they also have a sale section but most things in there go pretty quick it seems. If I had to guess though I would say a good 40-50 seem to usually be available anytime I was browsing.

 

You can look back through this thread and people post the upcoming releases for the store as well.

Thanks. Yeah, I saw updates per month, but I wasn't sure how many total. Your info helps.

If I sign up for a crate membership today, when will the albums ship? Do I have to wait a month before they ship, or is it a quick turnaround?

 

I am looking to grab Pinkerton and that Vile half and half.

They all ship around the 10th of the following month (so around July 10th in this case).

Tried buying the Avalanches release and Parquet Courts. Got to the purchase screen and it crashed. Refreshed and it said thanks for your order and I got a confirmation email. Still tweeted them to see if my order did actually go through?

Same with me.  Kept crashing, but got a Paypal confirmation that it went through, so we'll see.
