travis Posted August 5, 2009 Author Share Posted August 5, 2009 So it looks like the only way to get the blue vinyl /200 (most rare) is in the 3-pack Trying to check out with the 3-pack right now and the only shipping option is Priority Mail and its $16.20 for me. Im debating on if I really want it that bad. The whole thing is so damn over priced but I love this band/album. EDIT: I bought the 3-pack and it came out to $54 and change. I think Im going to be pissed at myself tomorrow for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaz725 Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 how did i not see this at the show? dammit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manicdogbert Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 wait so who pressed the vinyl? Epitaph? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travis Posted August 5, 2009 Author Share Posted August 5, 2009 wait so who pressed the vinyl? Epitaph? yea but it looks like the only colored vinyl available is from the band on thier merch site. They might have colored copies with them at shows but Im not sure about that. As far as I know all retailers will be getting black vinyl.

manicdogbert Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 cool. i'll wait and get mine in the shops. i ain't paying ridiculous postage costs just for colored vinyl. besides, white vinyl usually sounds like shit. i'll settle for black. i just hope the lyrics are legible on the LP sleeve. the printing is so small on the CD, it's ridiculous.

travis Posted August 5, 2009 Author Share Posted August 5, 2009 You can tell a difference in sound in different colored vinyl? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hookups96 Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 pretty sure this is the same company (KingsRoad) that NFG had one random color of there record with and the shipping was crazy for that as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xlovecolouredx Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 i ever plan for buy this album but i can't imagine how i can get the blue one.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manicdogbert Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 You can tell a difference in sound in different colored vinyl? it's probably more my gear (cartridge, etc) than the records themselves. but most of the time i get a record on white vinyl, the sound quality is pretty crappy. and i'd rather not spend the extra money on postage just to get one of the rarer variants.

The lyrics are definitely tiny still: EDIT: $16.20 shipping is absolutely ridiculous. King's Road Merch is the worse online store ever when it comes to that aspect.

karlsincharge Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Long-time lurker, occasional poster, but due to circumstances not related to my man-love for people whose names rhyme with Mavis Teadock, I had to change my name. Speaking as someone who may or may not have worked for Epitaph for roughly a week-ish, $16.20 shipping is borderline retarded. I'm fixing this amongst many other things. If you want the vinyl, just order it if you want it, pay the extra for the time being, and email Selma at customer service that you want media mail or something cheaper. I'm going to the warehouse today to talk to them about this and its going to be a bit while I fix the shipping tables. In the matter of a week or two, you'll be happy with the shipping prices AND some of the shit apparently in the warehouse and someone else can win the worst online store shipping ever award. I nominate Shockhound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottheisel Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Haha, Karl, I was just gonna email you and bitch about this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlsincharge Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 There's still a handful of packages left. So you have two options. You can wait. We will make some changes today. We will post some new options today. Or you can order now and get refunded. It's the same ends if you can put a few bucks on hold for a day or two.

dante3000 Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Strange. It says I have it in my cart but then it says I don't have anything in my cart when I go to check out. Doesn't matter if it's t-shirts or vinyl or whatever... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldsnap Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 any chances the blue will be available outside the package? hopefully this will be the new option.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

penthrive Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Selma says Media+handling will be about $4.85 for the package deal. Just add a note to the order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
versusexcalibur Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 FUCK....i assume that means the preorder that went up a while back was only for black vinyl after all. Not sure what i want to do on this one * i ordered and asked in the notes to have it sent via Media mail. i hope they will credit my paypal back the difference** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travis Posted August 5, 2009 Author Share Posted August 5, 2009 I emailed Kings Road and they took care changing the shipping for me really quickly. They refunded $11 and change of the shipping costs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
