aviolentworld Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 has any one done this? the initial description says lp but when i go into the link it doesnt really say record or have a really good description. just wondering if anyone has bought an lp and they got a cd instead.

mikeian Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 i've gotten a cd from amazon marketplace but that's up to the stupid individual seller i dealt with. but if it's LP in the description and you get from amazon, you should be fine, aside from getting the record in a ridiculously big box.

mrc Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 yeah, i have gotten a few order confirmations that say cd despite being listed in the vinyl section, so i have had to cancel them really quick. I have also tried emailing people asking if it was vinyl or a cd and gotten responses like "i dont know" Sellers on amazon are way dumber than those on ebay. but i have gotten some good deals from amazon so its worth browisng Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seafoamgreen Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 If you're ordering a used record from a marketplace seller, prepare to be fucked. I got a record that looked like it went through the laundry... he had listed the condition as "Like New." Plus he shipped it in a used bubble mailer with no cardboard. Luckily, Amazon doesn't fuck around with returns- they make sure everyone offers them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casey Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 i've gotten a cd from amazon marketplace but that's up to the stupid individual seller i dealt with.but if it's LP in the description and you get from amazon, you should be fine, aside from getting the record in a ridiculously big box. Quoted on both counts. Also agreed that Amazon sellers are stupid. When I bought Potemkin City Limits I emailed the seller to be sure it was an LP and the person says "IT SAYS ALBUM IN THE LISTING." like that clears it up. I did get an LP that time, but another time a seller listed Midwestern Songs as an LP and I got a CD. He did let me keep the CD and refunded my money. And everytime I get an LP from Amazon it comes in a box big enough to ship a cadaver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cj Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 i've ordered 2 times from amazon.co.uk and have no complaints. i would actually recommend going there for some harder to get stuff. shipping is always reasonable and my stuff seemed to ship quickly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billynomates Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 It's great to use to get records to the UK from the US, as the postage charge is only £1.25, which is like $1.80, where as using ebay a seller will charge $25 postage. I've never had a problem and bought from the market place hundreds of times. Only once did I get a crappy used LP that was scratched and battered and the seller refunded me straight away, and let me keep the LP. Someone like Caiman are usually reliable.

Guest markovianprocess Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 I've had loads of experiences with Amazon directly and other sellers and I haven't had many problems. As long as you're buying from established sellers and reading each listing to make sure, it's hard to go wrong. I'm not sure how Amazon US compares to the UK though. We also get the ridiculous sized boxes sometimes too though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest duhpunk Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 I ordered a Get Up Kids record from them a few months ago. Worst packing job ever, but it miraculously didn't get messed up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadetapplesauce Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 i ordered Punk in Drublic on vinyl, turned out being a cd. i was able to return it. aside from that i haven't had a bad experience with buying vinyl on amazon (from used sellers, at least).

mav Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Amazon is prone to listing problems that have nothing to do with the individual sellers. This has gotten a lot worse in the past few months. I'd say it's worth emailing before you buy anything just to make sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ygolordned Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 caiman is shit. i bought achilles heel from them for $17ppd in march. after two weeks of nothing, i emailed them to see what was up. no response. i emailed again a few days later, and then in another few days i got a response: out of stock indefinitely. thing is, they were selling one on ebay for twice the original price at that exact same time. what the fuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
