Profiting on shipping is a slimy move. i was on set for the Julia music video and Aaron showed me his new Bentley, said he paid for it off of the extra money skimmed off of media mail buyers alone. man's living large.

holyvacantsholyhell Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Oh dip, when I was there he told me they used cheap mailers so they could pocket even more money from the shady slimy shipping skimming scheme and then the whole band clapped and laughed. —— what did we learn? dont bitch about myw on vc.

Velocity of Sound Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 (edited) If your gonna squeeze an extra $5 out of every customer, at least do it to their face. Charge $30 for the LP up front. No need to get bamboozled at checkout. Edited November 25, 2019 by Velocity of Sound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to get bamboozled at checkout. after postage + packaging (and they use good mailers), it's probably more like $1.50. lots of spilled milk to cry about still, i'm sure. considering their manager's recent tweet thread decrying customers choosing media mail for non-media orders (costing mwY considerable money), i imagine the modest price hike is to help them offset the cost of past & future customers taking advantage of them offering media mail in the first place.

danmpie7 Posted November 25, 2019 Author Share Posted November 25, 2019 That's why they are breaking up actually. They finally made enough money from skimming off the shipping costs to never need to work again in their lives. copelandkid and Shelby 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatsNJazz Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Canceled my order for the red/white collectors edition, couldn't justify paying twice as much just for a cool box to put the records in, so if anyone missed out keep an eye out for the restock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throwgncpr Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 I hate to throw a wrench in the fun here, because seriously, believing mwY was trying to rip off fans is hilarious, but... the media mail option for the box set was the same price ($8), which is reasonable. It probably costs about $5 or so in postage, plus whatever packing materials they needed. I'm sure it was just a mistake in setting up the shop. So instead of being a righteous douche nozzle on a soapbox, you probably could have just emailed and inquired about it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I placed a separate order for the splatter after I realized I didnt need all those things, I'm sure I'll regret it after I see everyone post pictures of how cool it is but I'm broke enough to feel ok about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lungfutang Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 So i finally got around to spinning this the other day and have to say i'm a little underwhelmed at the quality. Sounds a lot quieter than my original pressing, and also noticed quite a bit of pops and crackles all throughout the entire album... Can anyone else relate? Or am i just losing my mind?

I never owned a first press but subsequent presses were nothing to write home about, speaking from experience. Eager to hear that deluxe at 45 RPM. lungfutang 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the cinnamon red, and mine has a ton of pops, too. I actually had to stop after a couple of songs because it was so bad. I'm curious to see how widespread this is.

CatsNJazz Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 My cinnamon splatter sounds very quiet, I have to crank the volume to hear it but it does sound good, no pops or clicks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deer Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 (edited) Delicate Orange-ish variant looking tasty. Not upset this was the only one in the UK store, cause I think I like it more than the red. Edited December 24, 2019 by deer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
