imaminorthreat Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 [email protected]. I've corresponded with adam a couple times through that email address. He's usually slow to respond when they're touring though. Give that a shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derek123 Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Awesome. I hope mine comes tomorrow. I'm really excited about the new b-sides and rarities album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deafmx Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 how did this ship? overnight or through USPS? Ordered the wooden box with the new pressings (even thou I had most of them already) and ordered the plain box for my old pressings. i like this idea. i am thinking about possibly selling my original copies but i don't know yet. curious to see the pressings included with the box first.

jmdavis Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 how did this ship? overnight or through USPS? It was shipped using USPS. Looks like it was sent out on the 24th. I'm amazed it got here in two days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hookups96 Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Almost wish the wood would have looked a little darker and rustic. Kinda aged more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monsterrod Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Almost wish the wood would have looked a little darker and rustic. Kinda aged more. I'm with you, a little stain would have gone a long way. It's still an interesting concept and it'll look cool with the rest of my non-wooden box sets either way.

monsterrod Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Have has this not come in the mail yet. Me=no patience. Same here. The goddamn snow in the Northeast has delayed the shit out of my records so I'm not holding out any hope that I will be getting this in soon.

derek123 Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 jmdavis got his in two days, and he lives in West Virginia. I live like, 4 and half hours from bloomington. Oh well, I never get lucky when it comes to the post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex13 Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 EDIT: Received a very friendly & helpful email from MBD. They've promised to replace the damaged box below. Horseshit. Mine came in today destroyed. I'm so livid that I haven't even checked the records to see if they're okay. First off, we paid $15 for shipping and these heavy box sets were shipped in a fitted cardboard box with only two small bubble wraps sheets on each face--no corner protection. Mine was shipped media mail for $5.89. The additional 9 bucks could have been used to wrap this shit up just a little better...just a fucking little. The wooden box is brittle. This would be okay had the above issues been addressed. But they were not and now what you see below is what will probably happen to some of you: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsterrod Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Looks somewhat fixable but that is a lackluster packing job nonetheless. Have you shot them an email? Maybe they have some replacement boxes lined up in the likely event that this was to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they have some replacement boxes lined up in the likely event that this was to happen. It can be "fixed" but the sheared and cracked wood will always be that way. I'm sure nobody would be happy "fixing" a torn/folded record cover with tape and glue. Emailed both addresses that I could find. I mostly posted this as a heads up. I wouldn't have even bothered if it was just a $15 record. $155 is a different story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deafmx Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 mine came the same way. $15 shipping means UPS with insurance so they can pay for the damage when it shows up beat ass. each record is also busted through the printed sleeves. my Little Joe Gould jacket is gouged from the nails where the box broke. all kinds of awesome in this boxset!

steventangent Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Here comes the debacle! I hope the band makes this right for you dudes... bummer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deafmx Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 i expected it to come trashed, so i'm not really that pissed about it. just poor shipping practices for a band that does all their own vinyl and ships their own merch. you come to expect better under those circumstances. i'm on the last record of the box now. it's been a great night of listening to it straight through.
