throwgncpr Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 I received mine a couple days ago, and received tracking last week. Glad I went with the teal instead of that other gray pukey thing. The package is well done (the spot gloss on the cover is a nice touch), but I'm really not into the vibe of the new artwork and colors. It just feels really off. copelandkid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a shipping confirmation about a week ago that included a tracking number indicating USPS Priority Mail shipping, but the tracking still indicates “pre-shipment info” but no receipt by the USPS. you know there’s a pandemic going on right now, right ? USPS shipments can take up to a week to show scan-in. This is stated right on their site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluethumb Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Somehow had a green/orange still in my cart from a few weeks back when I decided to hold off. I pulled the trigger today and it went through so I'm curious to see which variant shows up considering it's sold out - I'll be happy with any variant.

dantheriver Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 My tracking went from ‘pre-shipment info sent’ on the 22nd to ‘arrived at local post office’ and delivered today with no scans in between. Seems wherever they dropped off or were picked up from may have skipped the scanning phase. The real question is why was this a German release with international shipping rates that was shipped from NY? It still wasn’t a bad price overall so I’m not salty, just confused...

This is stated right on their site. I actually did know there was a pandemic going on. And believe it or not, I did see the disclaimer on the USPS site that Priority Mail is taking on average, a day longer than usual. As I bought these from Germany and paid €24 for shipping, then got USPS tracking, (not what I was expecting when I paid for international shipping) I simply asked a question about how others’ experience in receiving their records had been. Your experience in receiving your records? Or no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of wonder if they got enough US orders it made sense to send them over with the band copies and ship from the states. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may have shipped them all with the band copies there, and then they were shipped out by that third party. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thirty something copies are dark green with orange and black marble and limited to 250. the more i think about it, the more i believe it has to be one and the same. Deep Elm licenses in multiples of 500 usually. Coke bottle /250 is TSR webstore exclusive, so 100 copies out of the non-exclusive dark green /250 would have to go to the band to keep that figure neat (wouldn't take its lack of mention in the FB post to mean there's a whole new variant just for the band again, detail about marbling or wisps or w/e is a kind of nerdy i don't see with Chris haha). same 1/5 band allotment as the first TSR run. curious to see what product photos, if any, accompany the stock drop tomorrow on their bandcamp.

TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 So did this already go up and sell out again on their bandcamp? Because I find that frustrating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Barkley Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Since I snagged a copy of the bands pressing via bandcamp, I have an extra white/blue that I’d be happy to sell to anyone at cost. If your interested, just shoot me a PM. It’s still in shrink, but it has a minor seam split from shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NapalmBrain Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Got my teal today. Didn't see any traction for like a month, sent an email I wasn't trying to pester with a pandemic and all but they apologized and told me it would go out tomorrow. Another week passed, no tracking so I emailed asking for tracking and they assured me it went out and provided tracking the following monday said not received, and updated to leaving kentucky Wed and arrived today in great shape. Turned out real nice color, packaging and sound, no surface noise and they did what they could on the remaster, it says masterdisk inside the gatefold. Not sure who pressed it but was not GZ. Now I just need LLO and Sagarmatha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NapalmBrain Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Oh yeah and they emailed me of a forthcoming Mare Vitalis reissue as well, so get excited if you need a copy or another copy. I think I'm covered with my Record Club variant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacDonals Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 This finally arrived and it sounds fantastic. Great pressing. I ordered directly from the band and received pink color (?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
