melvinscam Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 I think the confetti was put in there so you can toss it up in the air and celebrate that the record showed up safe despite the poor packing job. maybe rip taylor packaged the record.

woolage Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 I make a point of describing how I expect a record to be packed when ordering from a seller I don't know. Doesn't work every time but it makes it less likely at least. I ordered an lp off a seller on Musicstack a while ago and he shipped it in a jiffy bag with no card reinforcements. The record arrived understandably damaged so i sent him an e-mail to let him know I wasn't happy. Amazingly, his response was that he'd shipped dozens of records that way and never had a problem. He then basically accused me of trying to rip him off! How can anyone ship an lp like that and not automatically think "shit, if i ship it like that it's bound to get damaged"? It's common fucking sense! That's why I get so mad about it. It's the most foreseeable problem and yet so easy to stop happening! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshua Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 funniest thing ever was when i came across a wrongly listed test pressing of Silverstein's When Broken is Easily Fixed, i payed $9.99, but had to pay $20 for international shipping. it arrived in a paper enveloppe, needless to say it was broken and could not be fixed.
