Japes Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Got mine from GoHastings and it was packaged in a small LP mailer, and was also black. So awesome. Glad this shit is over with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinyl Fury Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Fucking goHastings..... i don't know if anyone else realizes this, but the company is called Hastings. the website is gohastings.com, as i assume hastings.com was already taken. i'm being nitpicky, but it was bothering me. and fuck, i should have ordered from them.

mcpherson123 Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Don't feel too bad about missing this. All my copies came with damage sleeves/inserts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottheisel Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 got mine in perfect condition, went to hot topic. they were holding a copy for me, since i had to go to work. i got there and they had my copy on hold still, plus the only other copy they got was still on the shelf, so i bought that copy too. Anyways,i went in there two days later to pick up the new defeater i'd ordered through their kiosk. and in the store was a sad looking fat kid, tall with short scruffy dark hair. He was wearing an 80's nike tshirt that was some sort of ugly green with the signature swoosh, bold and orange, stretched between his man boobs and bowling ball belly, and being a sad fat kid he had the typical fat kid squared looking glasses with thick black rims. He was frantically looking around the vinyl section (all two shelves of it) while i was talking to a fellow vinyl aficionado(?) Ian that works there. At this point over Ian's left shoulder i saw toward the back of the store and the kid was now talking to the girl that worked there toward the back of the store. She then turns and looks at me, making eye contact and with a slight smirk she stiffly points says loud enough for me to hear her over the blaring pop tunes "blame that guy, he came in Tuesday and bought both!" the kid's fat head slowly followed her finger and our eyes met. He stared, shocked, with a blank look on his face. He didnt say a word, or make a sound, silence. I said something to the affect of "man, if i was you i would really really hate me, real sorry dude, but i stay on top of my shit." still staring with that look of disbelief, he did not respond. He shuffled back over about 5 feet with his head down, to where he came from in the extensive vinyl section. It was almost as if he was hoping it was a joke and a copy would miraculously appear on the shelf and he would be able to breath again. It didnt. Poor kid. guess he'll have to wait for the repress. I really hope karma doesnt come into play on this one. I could see him being the one that ends up fucking me over on the EYEWTKAS repress. haha, wouldnt that just be sooo fitting. Good to know there are still shitheads who post on message boards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

180gramparamedic Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 are these still avail via HT.com? or can someone recommend another retailer that would possibly ship faster/package better etc etc? (ive never ordered from HT, just curious.) x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mariawithoneeye Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 it had nothing to do with how HT packed it. It was fine. It was just the record itself and the non-existence of a normal cover that made me nervous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harryq Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 are these still avail via HT.com? or can someone recommend another retailer that would possibly ship faster/package better etc etc?(ive never ordered from HT, just curious.) x fyi, hot topic usually packages things pretty well and they ship pretty fast also, if there was another retailer, we'd all be ordering from them since they'd (likely) have black copies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deafmx Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Hot Topic has upped their game in the mailing department. you are now safe/obligated to order from them online with no worries. trust me, i had a 9 record order come in perfect condition.

travis Posted April 27, 2011 Author Share Posted April 27, 2011 are these still avail via HT.com? or can someone recommend another retailer that would possibly ship faster/package better etc etc?(ive never ordered from HT, just curious.) x The issues with poorly packed vinyl orders has been fixed. They ship stuff out faster than pretty much anyone else and the packing job is top notch. Have no worries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcpherson123 Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Packing from HT.com was good. But travis, you might just throw out a tip to all your vinyl packers to pack the short flaps of the mailer INSIDE the larger flaps as opposed to the opposite. That's how mine cam and I think it keeps the seam more secure if they put the short flap in first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alright, fuck you dude. I am not a "fat kid" but who the fuck do you think you are to come on a msg board and talk shit about the dude. He just wants the fucking record. I guess I shouldn't even waste my time on this but you seem like a true piece of work. Oh well, what do I know? Maybe you're just taking out some small penis rage or something.
