scottheisel Posted March 6 Author Share Posted March 6 I've been waiting on an order from them since November. Guessing I'm shit outta luck. IndigoHollow 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 What was special about these guys again? Did they usually just have their own variants or did they do something special with each release? I guess I never cared enough to check them out when they were around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seemed to have insane web coupons active at all times, so I’m only getting stung for like $18 and change after shipping. Still super annoying though, and I feel for anyone who has funds tied up. What a shit-show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanspants Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 I got in on the $100 Gc for $40 in November, ordered three records in two orders and received one. I guess I'm basically even for what I paid but that sucks. IndigoHollow 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fowty Dollaz Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Damn. I always like their deals. Got she and him Christmas for like $9 or something insane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewlucas Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 I have a few of their releases (Metric, Thrice, Alt-J) and I thought they were great quality. The booklets that come with them are solid. Bummer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rooks Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Anyone surprised? Never paid more than half price for any of their releases. Still remember arguing with this guy on reddit when he started this thing and trying to explain to him why I found the subscription model entirely unappealing. Glad it worked out for him. fuckinandsuckinandtouchin, One Hundred Fifty-Two, Derek™ and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they usually just have their own variants or did they do something special with each release? I guess I never cared enough to check them out when they were around. They did a zine with each release. Sometimes the zine even held up shipping and caused delays they were constantly doing BOGO sales and I always wondered how that was viable. they sent out an email recently saying they were shifting distribution but outstanding orders WOULD be fulfilled. Should have seen this coming though when they pulled all inventory off the site. I will say, the releases I got from them were very nice though. Big rips.

onandonandon Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Looks like I still had 10 records for about $160 tied up in pre-orders with them. Between their crazy BOGO deals and even when they shipped free records out in 2021, I feel like I have broken even if I don't get any of my money back but will definitely be following to see what steps might be needed to get any of the money back.

cautionthieves Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Only thing I ever grabbed from them was 'Commit This To Memory' because of the alt cover. Can definitely see how this wasn't sustainable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoneyFrosted Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 I got Alt-J - An Awesome Wave when they did a half off thing. I will say the record is a beauty and sounds great, the cover has a holo thing going on. Never read the zine, don’t care. Maybe someday the quality and the price point will meet. But I think people are pretty sick of subscription services and blatant gouging. Literally can’t afford it anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gutterball1 Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 hmm. i wonder what happens with the used reissues of vulnerable and imaginary enemy now. bandbox was selling an exclusive variant of each. the retail variant's were just released so it makes me think they would of been made at the same time but now they are in limbo? strange situation.

dawhizz Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Glad I only ordered the one Long Winters album I didn’t already have I guess, but I’ll bet there are some unhappy people who preordered the represses and sold their originals before they had the new ones in hand . . .

DecayToDeath Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Always knew smth was up with their discounts and constantly shifting pricing model, but really lost any remaining faith around this time last year. I got hired w/ some other folks to be a (remote) writer & interviewer for their zines, and then at the start of onboarding, communication fell entirely silent. A full month later, I finally heard back from the CEO, who told me the editor who hired me (and several other contributors-to-be) quit, was fired, or otherwise no longer worked for them. Said he'd be running editing and zine organization by himself until further notice, and to await further instructions for the first round of assignments. Eventually he did send out assignments from which we could choose, and after choosing one, I never heard back again. Gave up trying to contact them because the whole thing seemed really disorganized. Shame, because it would've paid pretty well. tape 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niblips Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Ugh, I just found out about this today. I'm out about $250.00 Canadian for 4 albums and "International" shipping I preordered back in October. Worst part is, the record company also had a preorder press of the albums i wanted, but it's sold out now.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndigoHollow Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Saw this post on raddit today: Quote If you haven’t already heard directly from a company called Lighthouse about this matter (they’re now in charge of sorting through Bandbox’s mess), you should email [email protected] and provide them with information about your Bandbox order.
