Slow Crush and HF also arrived like that, so my guess is HR makes sure people don’t bitch about seam splits The heavy stock inners and nongatefold jacket survived without nasty seem splits.

whoa Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Shit, I thought it was Amazon's doing on the packaging! Mine arrived from Amazon in a parcel twice the size of the record, bent and mangled. Amazingly no dings or damage, but still yet to play it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do like their corner sparing mailers though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, your copy of that record has my condolences based off that photo you posted. My copy of Death Spells is slated to show up tomorrow, but Don's photos have me a little nervous now.

Gumbo72203 Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Anxious to get my copy.... the morons at the USPS decided to send my package on a cross-country trip from Boston to NJ to Texas and now to Springfield! I live in Albany lol, I could have driven to get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timbelmont Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 (edited) Ordered the black in clear from Holy Roar and had it shipped overseas to NJ... just got it, records were outside of the jacket and sleeves (as people have noted) but the mailer itself looked fine. Big-ass scratch (at least aesthetically) through a large portion of the B-side. Astonishingly, playback seems okay.

elvismcvegas Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Yeah, what kind of dipshits sent the bare record out of any sleeve? My copy arrived ok but I was still irritated they sent it like that. Every other time I've asked to take the records out of the sleeve they at least put them in a cheap thin white paper sleeve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not justifying their choice - since it really is the wrong choice in my eyes - but I think Holy Roar does that to appease the [even larger] idiots who cry about their paper sleeves receiving splits in transit. Seeing as I personally MoFi anything in a paper sleeve to begin with, I would 100% opt for a little wear on my printed inner sleeves over actual damage to my records. Cosmetic or not, that’s a trade I’ll never be down for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas³ Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 (edited) Mine showed up ok, despite being outside the sleeves. I get why they do it, but I was surprised when one almost fell on the ground. Only issue I had, was USPS marked it for delivery but never delivered it. I had to go to the post office the next day to get it. Lazy asses.

TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Got it. Some tiny amount of scuffing on d-side, but nothing that looks like it'll affect playback. Score! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 (edited) Got my clear and the records are in good shape. EDIT: nevermind, i was blind and they are all scuffed up. Edited April 3, 2019 by fish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mars Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 lucked out that mime came without scuffs. . .possibly because it was packed with another album, so it was pretty snug in there even though it to was just sitting there naked between the sleeves.

Gumbo72203 Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Mine came today with a big ole 45 degree bend in it, and the DW tape ripped open and frayed on the sides lol. What in the jesus fuck do these USPS idiots do to this shit? It looks like coffee was spilled on it too; there's a large darker stain on the side with the crease. Or it was rubbed in oil... something. Somehow my vinyl seems totally fine; spinning side 1 now and it sounds really nice. The printed inners and my jacket took a bit of a hit but it's nothing too major, knocking it down to about a VG grade. Gonna have to take it to my shop to get VPI'd, the static from being shipped loose has attracted a ton of stuff that's raised the noise floor pretty significantly. Good ole sandpaper sound when you drop the needle lol. Thankfully the record is mastered loud enough so the music goes over it, but man... physics! Really liking how this sounds on vinyl; the drums really stand out. Very well done mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrewest Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Hoping mine arrives safer than just about everyone elses. I also have a 2nd record with it so hopefully that helps. Supposed to arrive but now tracking shows it “arriving late”. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ethereal Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 (edited) mine showed up today and the C/D LP is very fucked from scratches and scuffs. pretty annoyed but hoping DW can make it right somehow. edit : @CalebDW Edited March 28, 2019 by ethereal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatsNJazz Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 I got mine on friday but just listened to it last night and I have a huge scratch on side c across all the grooves and it hisses all the way through and skips on the second song. Side D is equally scruffy but hard to tell because I have the clear variant. I order through deathwish so I doubt they could send me a replacement. Same thing happened to me with the Slow Crush record because of the way they shipped them. Huge bummer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
