colbourne25 Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 "2) we set up a new store on Shopifywith some copies of Floral Shoppe and a few other OESB albums -- the sales from this will help clear out the older orders much faster" Umm... what?? creating new sales in an entirely different setup will help clear out older orders? WTF is this guy on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DASiano Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Not defending, but I get what he's trying to get across: funds received through Shopify won't be frozen and those funds can then be used on resources to get the backlog out. Again, not defending. I have my order from November, and I'm standing by the sidelines here. I know when my 180th day is nearing, and I'll worry about filing a claim in and around that time, if it cones to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unknown pleasures Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 What he’s saying is he has hundreds of PayPal orders from November that currently eat up his inventory on paper, and he needs new Shopify orders so he can tell the people that ordered last year to go fuck themselves and then give their “reserved” copies to the people that order this week. If they opened PayPal disputes and got their money back, fine; if not he’ll keep the cash and not send anything when their dispute period lapses. That’s pretty much what it boils down to.

He is overwhelmed and clearly not properly organized. He went into this unprepared and got walloped by pressing plant issues, PayPal (not once but twice), and being understaffed/funded. To top it all off he is not an optimal communicator. His not frequent enough updates too often include details from the perspective of the label and don't explain the path moving forward with clarity for the customer. That said, a bunch of people have gotten records. And he's given uncontested refunds from the start. This isn't a scam. VC knows scams. VC buys from scammers on the regular. That narrative is willfully ignorant. Dude is trying to sell all of his copies before someone else's rights kick in and he's up the creek. That's a bad look for someone who still has outstanding orders from August. Cancel and refund or sit and wait. Either way, folks will get their money or their record(s). I wouldn't blame anyone for never giving this dude another dollar, but this forum has happily waited longer for less.

unknown pleasures Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 I have no problem with the label, I agree this isn’t a scam - the guy obviously has pressed records and is fulfilling orders, he just is A ) lazy as fuck and B ) not a good businessperson. What gets my goat is the balls the guy has in places like Reddit. Like, it’s one thing to suck as a person but then do you have to also be a comic book villain on top of that and just be an ass to people, troll and insult former/current customers? thievedrelic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pizza face Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 (edited) You'd think instead of responding to people on reddit he could use that time to put records in a box, throw some tape on it and actually get shit done.

bridgesii Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 ive been watching the inventory on these and it just jumped from 80 copies remaing to 177 hmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supernaut Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Debating on whether to order this. On one hand I love the music, and I empathize with the guy behind the orders. Paypal has done shitty stuff to me and I'm sure many others. But still, waiting potentially 6+ months for a record is not ideal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pizza face Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 (edited) Yeah I got a a shipping confirmation from both as well but the one from band camp says canceled/refunded. I thought I was gonna be getting two for the price of one until I saw that message. I just hope it doesn't sit at this stage for weeks/months. It's not like I didn't trust the guy but I also wanted to be protected. Learned from dealing with Ormolycka.

DecayToDeath Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 So if i bought one way back when it was first on BC how do I get it then? Order a copy from the new site and hope the dude cancels my other one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V3XED Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Just here to update.... Like a few others, I received a "shipping label created" notification today for my order from the NEW shopify store. My old bandcamp order is still in a pending paypal dispute, no updates or shipping notification for that copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oblivions Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Not sure if he's actually dropped off the records at the post office yet. My tracking was created on Tuesday evening and still shows as 'pre-shipment'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Order a copy from the new site and hope the dude cancels my other one? I think it’s working like this: Assuming it costs $5 to ship, for every new Shopify order, he ships that new order and takes the remaining funds to ship 3-4 BC orders. He claims old BC orders will ship, most likely combined with any Shopify order (if you ordered one from each site). I hate to say it, but, if I were him, I would ship out the newer BC orders first, the ones that are still protected by the 6 month Paypal protection. The initial BC orders would be shipped last. I have no clue how he is actually working through old orders. There is a chance that placing a new order expedites your old order (combined shipping). Double or nothing mentality.

axotyl Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 when mine shipped last november or so it took several days between receiving the original shipping notification (pre shipment) and USPS scanning it as accepted. he probably drops them off in batches once or twice a week.

He's fascinatingly terrible at everything he does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
