I gave up on the codes nearly a year ago since it was always a huge hassle but I still see people offering to refer people so it looks to still be going.

pepperonigin Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 I’m glad the site crashed initially because if it didn’t I would’ve missed out. I thought they were going up tomorrow. Its kinda shitty that if you don’t pay attention to their forum posts you’ll miss out on the hot exclusives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For being a pretty huge release in the hip hop crowd it was hard to find out about. Same thing with there sales too.. the last two that happened when i was a member they were sold out of the best deals before I even found out about it.

GoBlue325 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Probably a stupid question, but this was the first time signing up for VMP. If I wanted both records of the month, i have to sign up for “two tracks”, correct? Then cancel one of them if I only want to choose from a single album in the following months? I assume I cannot sign up for De La and then just add Handsome Boy to my cart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can sign up for one then add another one to your package for $23 (at least, that's how much it is for me on a 3-month sub) GoBlue325 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then, like you said cancel one of them and you can switch the one remaining track to whichever one you want month to month if you want to stay longer and you can also pick from a usually pretty large swap page with a bunch of the former albums of the month and store exclusives. If they have leftovers of the albums of the month they eventually get put into the regular store as well but there is no guarantee if it sells out or something.

mesi Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 No more free shipping for non-members starting tomorrow: Starting March 12th, 2019, new orders will be charged $4.95 shipping per order within the U.S. and $14.95 internationally. Any orders placed before this date will not be impacted. These rates are based on the average shipping cost we incur on non-member orders. Also, they are changing their policy on customs fees, so no more refunds or credits starting from tomorrow as well. Pretty sure that they will see a huge drop off in international members. I totally get why they have to stop it though. [...]While we want all of our customers to know we have the best, most compassionate customer service out there, crediting back customs fees levied by the governments of other countries was jeopardizing our ability to serve all of our international customers.[...] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s what I’m interpreting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oblivions Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Paying import duties, offering free international shipping, and giving away free replacement copies with no questions asked was way way way more than good customer service. It was a little bananas. I don't think anyone can fault them for rolling back some of those perks. They might have a case against them for setting unreasonable expectations though.

pepperonigin Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 I doubt they’re going anywhere. They have a pretty significant subscriber base and get some nice exclusives. This will merely increase their profit margin and it’s smart on their part. No need to unnecessarily cover shipping for non members. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thetrackt Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 I was really skeptical of this company when it first hit the internet. After seeing what they were about and ordering some records and realizing they put out a quality product, my mind was changed. They ship their records with the works and make a 29 dollar monthly fee worth it. That’s not easy to do. Nothing but good experiences with them and while I don’t love everything they put out the good stuff more than makes up for it. I hope they stay in business and keep releasing really good records. I just ordered that De La ROTM because it’s beautiful and got TVOTR a couple weeks ago. Also that Main Source was perfect and just in time. Hopefully they keep it up.
