dreamover 2,444 Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 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.

tokimedo 1,166 Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
xgrantx 104 Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vinyl Fury 79 Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
garrygumguru 0 Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

genuma 8 Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bogsurfer 0 Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
plasma36 128 Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dreamover 2,444 Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Lower stocked items (like vinyl) get shipped from several locations around the country. That's why they come separately. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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 197 Posted September 5, 2010 Author Share Posted September 5, 2010 my guess was that maybe they ran out of the good boxes since everyone was ordering lots of records Quote Link to post Share on other sites

burntwolf 80 Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 jesus, got another package w/ the LP just thrown in a box. It's all mashed up. weak. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jblahmaster 2 Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 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.

thelossadjuster 2 Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Looks like they've collected the discounted vinyl in one place again, as part of their Fall sale... http://www.amazon.com/gp/search/ref=sr_nr_p_n_binding_browse-b_3?rh=n%3A5174%2Cn%3A!44259011%2Cn%3A!251269011%2Cn%3A13650871%2Cp_n_binding_browse-bin%3A387647011&bbn=13650871&ie=UTF8&qid=1284574478& rnid=387643011 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thelossadjuster 2 Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
