marc32137 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 The RSD Twitter account responded to someone saying there will be some kind of exclusive for indie shops, but no other details given. nardes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Just bumping the thread to vent... Fuckin' shit does UMG suck ass!!!! It's going to be going on 30 days soon here since my original request to cancel my orders and get refunded and nothing has happened. I have sent them TWO follow-up requests and I keep getting the same canned response that the refund will be processed within 7-10 days and will get emails to confirm. So far...no refunds. Just sent them a third follow-up and will see what happens. If I get the same canned response...which I am sure I will...I will flip my shit. And open a Paypal dispute. gazzo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazzo Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 So weird, I emailed them the day after (cause by then the Euro shop opened up) and by the end of July I received it back in Paypal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluetripleb1 Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Received a refund over the weekend. Just like they said 7 to 10 days. Closer to 10 days though. I learned awhile ago not to send emails. It seems to put you further back down the list for whatever reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snaggle Von Swift Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Today would be business day 7 on my approved refund request, I wasn't expecting it any sooner. Luckily it was a small order, so I can just let it play out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corgipants Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 No joke, but have you tried tweeting Taylor about it? She's made sure more trivial things got taken care of for fans before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But my beef is that since day one...7/23...I have requested the refunds...first reply was you'll get refunded within 7-10 days. That time passes and nothing. Message again...I get the same canned response...you'll be refunded within 7-10 days. And here we are. "You'll get refunded soon...we don't know when...but surely soon." I don't know how long to wait some more before starting to blast on Twitter...as that seems to be the only place it may even get noticed and acknowledged.

aju2streets Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 I waited past the ten days on a refund for the extra Cardigan singles I ordered and heard nothing. I ended up emailing them again asking to just leave the order in place since I figured it was only $30 and they’ll probably sell for at least that in a year and they of course responded to that right away, like within a day.

jhulud Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Got an update. They responded again and confirmed that the orders are being cancelled and being refunded. But when I look at the confirmations and amounts, they're shorting me a total of $31.50 between the two orders. What the fuck?!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re being charged for the digital albums which are “non refundable under any circumstance”. Learned this the hard way a few years ago. Only order from UMG if you are absolutely certain it is something you will not want to cancel later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't download anything cuz I knew I was going to cancel. So didn't touch the downloads at all. Still haven't to this day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It used to be ok if you hadn’t touched them but now it’s absolutely 100% non refundable even if you don’t download. It’s all right in there on their store policy.

jhulud Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 If I had known that...I would have let it be and just flip the records once they arrived. Wonder if it's too late now to tell them to keep the orders. LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rooks Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Yuuuuuuuuup, learned this lesson a different way with the last The Weeknd pre-order (Republic, a subsidiary of UMG). He was dropping endless sets of 24-hour exclusive Merch pieces. Later on, old pieces came back up for sale - at discounted prices. BUT, the kicker here was even those "discounted" prices that they displayed INCLUDED paying for the digital album. Nowhere (in legible font) did it say explicitly that you were paying for the merch item + the digital album every purchase. Definitely a system for rigging album sales, but, Reddit fans eventually figured out you could filter to specific categories and basically go to the last page of items for sale and find the merch items alone at a SEVERELY discounted rate, with no digital albums. I ended up making a couple of purchases early on before it became clear that you could buy it without the digital album attached, and I own like 5 copies of The Weeknd - After Hours that i'll never download or listen to.

The agent I talked to was like “...I’ve seen people charge for digital elements and we usually uphold the seller’s policy...but your order was $90 and they won’t give you the last $6...that seems a bit much.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at their terms, you can get fully refunded within a certain time frame if you haven't accessed the downloads. Source: have read terms and been refunded through UMG. Edit: just read your reply that they changed the wording. Boooooo to that. Edited August 19, 2020 by MachoHommeRandallSauvage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
