The preorders went up in the middle of the pandemic. You don't get to use "we're in the middle of a pandemic" as an excuse for a 5 month delay when you already knew we were in a pandemic when you took people's money. If you put up a preorder in February/March and then had to wait for the records to come from another continent by boat I get it. If you put up a preorder in May you should have already known that was going to happen. That's kinda my point though. It's not like labels are pulling dates out of thin air. Even in the middle of a pandemic the plants are going to be giving labels a timeline that the label is then going to make a decision on. The label can't help if the plants are wildly off on their estimate or get even more behind than when preorders go up. I'd say even more so now that countries have started shutting down again and putting restrictions back in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they should wait to put up the PO until the timeline is more clear...5 months is unacceptable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh. Riskier for labels since they have to front ~$8-15K per release, and then in this case where they added more to the order, you get that uncanny valley where the second batch comes months later.

Oh god no. A business has to front the money to run their business? What a terrible idea... Maybe the rather than adding a "second batch" they should have just done a 2nd press...where the pressing comes out months later after it's pressed....

DeathPeak Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 There are bigger problems in the world right now than how accurate labels are with their vinyl release shipping dates. Especially one that was pressed for charity. Don't worry too much about it. One Hundred Fifty-Two, AlexH. and Fowty Dollaz 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fowty Dollaz Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 If anyone is too bummed about the delay, sell me your copy at cost +shipping and just listen on spotify. MCDELTAT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCDELTAT Posted December 23, 2020 Author Share Posted December 23, 2020 Got mine in. Had a seam split on the top, but think I can repair it since sleeve is just black. My vinyl colors were a grey and a poop brown (the ones on the Discogs listing). I always seem to get a brown color from AMR random pressings ha. Also, despite being a charity pressing. Mike at BT through in a pin, some stickers, and a Killing Lincoln flexi. Definitely going to support him by grabbing something else.

MCDELTAT Posted December 25, 2020 Author Share Posted December 25, 2020 Lol someone put this up for $100 on eBay. I think truly is a special place in hell. Take a charity comp and then likely not donate the $70 your make from the flip. Nice. Nice. N8TRU 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oblivions Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 I’ve been wished to a special place in hell by strangers on Discogs for selling items from a box set individually (even though I was asked to split it up by buyers). It’s going to be a crowded place once we all arrive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was referring to another eBay user who has since taken the listing down. It was at $100 then they kept raising it $50 like every 12 hours. It was $250 before the listing was closed.
