chickennugget Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 I just got my record in the mail today and already I know i'm in for a treat. The guy put his info on a "Hello my name is" card. How cute I thought... Open up the package...and BAM look at all this stuff inside! The record was well protected and looks like I got some goodies too! Contents: 1 Ride the Skies green lp 2 cardboard protectors with my name drawn on them 1 Protman disk 2 magazines pages oh some cool lookin artwork 1 Wrestling sticker 4 pack 1 sticker that says "Carz will Burn!" 1 expired coupon to save 1 dollar off nestle fun bags 1 letter explaining the shape and condition of the record 1 a thank you written on the back of a picture of 3 girls holding 3 heart bears I have never smiled this much in a while. Has anyone received a package quite like this one? (also what the heck is protman?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lifebystereo Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 I love packages like that. Someone (I think Titus of Vinyl Junkie) put a condom in one of mine - would've been pretty awesome if I was straight, haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddieruckus Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 sorry, if I got a package like that id be pissed, thats just a bunch of extra trash for me to throw away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philviral Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 I got a record once that was wrapped in plastic shopping bags and lots of tape - yours wins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circlingvultures Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 sometimes random shit is fun. I try and put in an extra record or cd or something that I think the person will enjoy. I dont go all nuts with the junk though unless im doing it to be funny or im drunk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patron Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Minty once sent me an LP with hearts all over the outside of the mailer, and a poem about the record inside. It was sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fartcat Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 I bought the How Dare You/Just Panic Split from Markovianprocess and it arrived today with a Babyshambles 7" added in and a CD that I have yet to check out. Definitely stoked when I opened it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmsaareagles Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 I forget who it was from, but on the inside packaging of a record I bought there was this awesome drawing with a sharpy of a giant squid with records all over it's tentacles.

deafmx Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 i too received a condom from vinyl junkie. every package i mail is always filled to the brim with cd samplers, download cards, stickers and whatever else i have in my boxes of promo stuff.

fourfourtwo Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 I hate promo cards and posters, but am always excited when I find cool shit like a cd, or extra 7" or whatever. Once, someone made me a mix of bands they thought I would like based on a couple of records I bought off of them. I checked it out and it ended up being on rotation in my car for months. Pretty sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richspeedowax Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 when i pre ord the first 7 inch off daughters,they sent me a brown pair of pants with the 7 inch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
headtowall Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 anytime someone buys or trades a record with me i always try to throw something random in there. working at a label helps with having ridiculous vinyl releases/ singles laying around (like the nutty professor soundtrack).

llamason56 Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 once when i ordered a this will destroy you record from magic bullet i got the aughra 12" record for free which was pretty cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chappy5 Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 I got a 7" with one of my packages, nice surprise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockstar71888 Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 i like when i get random cds, 7"s, stickers and stuff. however, call me a buzzkill when it comes to the packaging, but i'm actually much happier when the inside is completely blank so i can turn it inside out and re-use it when i send a package out, instead of buying more mailers.

moonbeams Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 That gives me a great idea. some Newspapers in japan have porn in them. Cut that out and get some paste to make the pictures stick together and use it to "protect" the records. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
