AMAZON U.S. Vinyl Deals & More Thread

[dreamover 2,428]

What about it is worth it other than the vinyl and shirt? These box sets make more sense to me when they are all part of a lasting package... IE... Cd, DVD, vinyl, book. Tshirt, stickers and download codes don't really stay part of the set.

i mean, its cheaper then just buying the vinyl by itself. the lithograph that comes with it is sweet, and the booklet with the handwritten lyrics is pretty rad too. im never gonna use the stickers or pins so they will stay in the box

good deals to be had for sure....there have been several records that i've wanted from amazon but didn't get because of their shipping. I'm risking it this time. If they are damaged, I will send them right back.

Well, my question was answered. Two boxes from Amazon came today, with one shipment in each box. One of the boxes had stiff cardboard with plastic wrapped tightly over that, and the records were sandwiched in between. None of the records are warped at all, so far I'm very happy.

i wish that was what i received. 4 boxes, all the usual records with loads of air bags, which only help so much. none of the records i ordered were totally flat.

2 Radiohead singles were crammed into a box that was OBVIOUSLY way too small.

they need to have a standard, consistent, practical, effective method, and everyone that packs records needs to follow it.

the records were cheap enough that

I got one of my packages today with an LP and a 7" in a big box with a shit ton of air cushions. The records were miraculously fine though, no bent corners or anything. I have to wonder how much those air cushions cost though...they seem to use them with reckless abandon. I counted them all and there were 39 all together in that one box. Crazy.

my second box that came in had one record and was also crammed into a box that was too small. it only bent the sleeve and it was pretty easy to fix, so i'm okay with it.

snagged the assjack lp, this thread rules!

Just picked up the SSP box. Thanks for the heads up! Was waiting to find the record at a good price, and that pretty much beats all

Third of four packages came today, and they put one record into a huge box with a ton of those air packs. My best guesstimate for the box size is 12.5"x7"x17.5". I'm grateful that none of the boxes are too small, but Jesus Christ. My entire order could fit in there with room to spare. Does anyone know how to tell them to put the whole order in one shipment? I thought I had that option checked but this happened.

[dreamover 2,428]

Lower stocked items (like vinyl) get shipped from several locations around the country. That's why they come separately.

thanks. I wish it were the $30 version that was 80% off, but $12.49 isn't too bad.

theres an option to leave packaging feedback on your order once it has shipped...

Done and done. It's just odd because one of the other boxes I got was way more reasonably-sized (but still too big). Maybe they're just throwing away big boxes because people aren't making big orders?

[harryq 193]

my guess was that maybe they ran out of the good boxes since everyone was ordering lots of records

[tokimedo 1,124]

yeah my boxes were huge, but i did get a box set.

[burntwolf 79]

jesus, got another package w/ the LP just thrown in a box. It's all mashed up.

weak.

[jblahmaster 2]

Same here. Ordered a record, it came and was all bent up to shit.I then returned it and yet again all they did this time was put the record on top of the air bag stuff so the record came so warped i could use it as a bowl.

the dark knight soundtrack on vinyl is only $6.49 right now... i ordered a spare because my D side got severely scratched somehow.

Looks like they've collected the discounted vinyl in one place again, as part of their Fall sale...

[thelossadjuster 2]

Well, that didn't work. Er, click the Fall Blowout Sale link in the upper right-hand corner. Then select vinyl on the left hand side and you'll get the list. Yep.

i got super irritated w/ the last crappily shipped package. i told them to get their shit together if they want to sell vinyl. i'm tired of sending shit back.

Crap. That reminds me... I've got a box in my trunk to send back to them.
