Bandbox goes belly up


Recommended Posts

  • 2 weeks later...

I ended up filing a claim through PayPal, and thanks to their 180 day money back guarantee, I was refunded for my purchase (minus 1 cent). I was really expecting them to to say, sorry there's nothing we can do because Bandbox has essentially gone under, but that was not the case.

The process was pretty easy through PayPal. The only glitch was I couldn't complete the forms for the full amount of the purchase. I kept getting an error stating that the claim could not be for the full amount..... not sure what's up with that, so i filed the claim for the full amount minus a penny. I received my refund today.

Yea I don’t get it, I’ve seen the superchunk exclusive for sale on discogs and some other sites.  I don’t know if it’s legit, but if they had these why didn’t they just ship them out?

I'm assuming when they filed for bankruptcy, they ceased operations and remaining assets were put up for auction.

Inventory doesn’t magically box and ship itself out. Assuming these guys were really that bad off I’d say it’s safe to say they couldn’t afford the labour required to fulfill orders.

Different sort of bankruptcy as they immediately went into receivership and all of their assets are under the control of Lighthouse (https://lighthousemanagement.com/). Nobody knows what Lighthouse intends to do, but liquidation/auction of what they have is likely. Part of the mess is that it's still difficult to prove which records were actually pressed and who has them. Of the records that were pressed, Bandbox never paid the pressing plants for some, so those are still owned by the plants and not with Lighthouse. Customers probably have a better shot at those records than getting anything from Lighthouse, records or refunds, because we're the lowest priority of creditors.
