000000 Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 i never got shipping confirmation, they just showed up did you get the two-pack or just a copy of each? cause i think i read that the guy doing the screenprinting got all the two-packs to finish sending, sooooooo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idreamofpunk Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 i actually requested that the records be packed outside the sleeves because I knew from previous experience that these wouldn't be factory sealed (ordered the Juliana Theory 3 pack ages ago), and that splitting may occur. They came to me outside the jackets, and all was well. I practically have the "If this record is not sealed, please pack the records outside of the jackets and any printed inner sleeve" message on standby in a text document so I don't have to type it out every single time.

derkwithano Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 1. Fail. So glad we payed all that extra postage. dang. bummed about getting these now haha. Can't believe he's hiring those 3 extra people to pack the records poorly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jblahmaster Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 I look forward to all of this label's releases, because this is some funny stuff. Also, will probably buy the early november ep's , but no box for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psychoriley Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Yeah nothing like getting four records today that I spent about $12 to ship, and was sent in a 12" mailer and everyone comes with nice splits...each and every one. You'd have thought with the $12 shipping they would have been shipped in some indestructable packaging with bubble wrap extra card board bothe sides etc.... Guess I should be happy they weren't thrown in an envelope? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjaicomo Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Shipping I paid for 2 records: $7.50. Shipping price on label: $2.77. Anyhow, after scrubbing all (most) of the Pirates Press grime (and it literally does sound like sand is in there when you pull it out), the records do sound pretty nice. I am glad to have them.

randysxe Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 mine came moving around in mailer too, but no splits! i did however have bite marks on both jackets, looks like a cat or small dog had fun with them! emailed them for some new jackets, kinda weird! hahaha after further review, one does have a split! emailed them, i want new jackets! haha also, they came with no bags and werent wrapped, these were forsure gonna get tore up in the mail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexH. Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 I don't know why people are stoked on the nightmare that is Pirate's Press haze. I'm guessing you all enjoy sand in yr records? Just sayin'. Also enjoying a hearty LOL at the shipping problems. Cool label you're running here, dude! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patrickemmons Posted March 11, 2011 Author Share Posted March 11, 2011 I'm shipping all the 2-pack orders and I put all of the vinyl outside of the sleeve and each copy is in a poly sleeve as well - I have a stiffening board in with every package as well to help prevent them from sliding around. I've got all the 2-pack orders packed & around 60% of them have been dropped off at the post office & the others will be dropped off tomorrow. I busted my ass getting all these together and packed nicely so there wouldn't be any problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tokimedo Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 its funny how the guy that doesnt even work for the label is doing a better job shipping them than anybody that works at the label.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly didn't know he was shipping them himself w/out the stiffening boards and poly sleeves - he ordered them for me and figured he did for his orders too.

jailhouse Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 As much as I think this label is like some sort of parody, The "sand" from the haze colors really isn't a big deal. It's pretty standard fare anytime you get a record manufactured with haze colors. It's basically finely ground vinyl tossed on the biscuits before the stampers hit em. I know GZ used to do this by hand. Every record really should be cleaned before you play em anyway. All records typically come from a plant with some sort of debris on em. When you get splatter/haze etc. It's just a price you pay to get the unique colors. No real way around it, unless the plant hand cleaned each copy before shipping em out. Suprised he couldn't/wouldn't find 10" mailers though. And being shipped w/o a sleeve is pretty bogus. I could have sold em 1000 10" mailers for less than 500 bucks ppd.

Not that they don't have that sand effect, but with a simple cleaning they do sound better. I had to do that with an acid mothers temple record once. It really did look like the record was pressed on a beach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shitty Rambo Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 My splatts are all little, like ketchup and mayo squirts. Oh well, it's nice to have Threes A Charm on vinyl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serum7 Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 I wasn't going to post it here, but since everyone else is... My jackets were all torn up too. MYAH record was actually sticking out of the bottom of the sleeve. All 3 sides of WHOSO are busted to hell too. Got offered a discount on the "test presses" but no replacement sleeves. I'm glad he didn't get any other DTR stuff I was interested in because this is a joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
