captainmorgan Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Apparently my mom has been doing some online Christmas shopping for me. I came home today to find this huge-ass box on my doorstep, opened it up wondering what on earth I'd ordered from Hot Topic, dug through all the paper and found...one LP. Nice.

rtw88 Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 At least your mom knows who Fugazi is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezfools Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 and it looks like it arrived safely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainmorgan Posted December 12, 2008 Author Share Posted December 12, 2008 I gave my mom a list of records she could get me. She probably doesn't know Fugazi - she listens to Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd and stuff. The amazing part is none of the corners are even dinged. It's in perfect condition. The other box we got in the mail today looks like it was chewed on by dogs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hookups96 Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Great Gift, this year my parents got me a Coffee table, cause they didn't like the one I have which is from the 80's. Its dinged up, but has way more character than the new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zac Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 I talked to Travis on here the other day and he was telling me he made HT mailorder start using LP mailers now because they were doing stuff like this. Hmm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
konk Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Interpunk did this for me once. Not that big, but pretty big for a store that specializes in music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhulud Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 This is how I got the White Zombie - Astro Creep 2000 one. May be in a big box...but still w/ packing paper and beats actually having to walk into the store itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamlikesmusic Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Every time I've bought from them it's that box. But everything is always in good condition. (I only buy when it's $10 off, though. Hah.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kevinb Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 you think thats bad why she ordered this i dont know i think she had a gift certificate but my girlfriends roomate ordered a single sticker & it came in a box that size from hot topic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elgato Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 I got the same giant box treatment from them, but that was AFTER my first copy (Radioheads "The Bends") was shipped in a floppy, non-padded, plastic DHL envelope with no cardboard. The thing was at least eight inches too long for the LP, so it wasn't even like it was snug in there. Thing was absolutely destroyed by the time it got to me. To their credit, they sent me a new one (in the aforementioned giant box) immediately, but they never really acted like this was anything out of the ordinary. Ah well, what should I expect, ordering from fucking Hot Topic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
