chutterhanban Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 does kind of make me wish i had ordered "latex blue" even if it is clear-ish... wonder if what SRC is doing will actually be pretty cool--i mean, they do understand vinyl releases and what collectors want, so you never know.

ifworkpermits Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 maybe they switched up the center labels? Not quite sure how they'd be able to do that in such short notice, but that would definitely make it distinguishable from the previous press...

tyler Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 ^ The guy getting angry about the lack of info is kinda right. Not everyone that buys these records uses forums and all that. Right now they would have no idea about what's happening other than getting emails saying delayed, delayed, delayed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now they would have no idea about what's happening other than getting emails saying delayed, delayed, delayed. I'm not angry, just disappointed by SRC and their lack of communication. I'm fully aware that whenever a label says they're putting out an album to fully expect at least a month delay if not more especially when buying from MTS and SRC. I can deal with delays because when they do come through it's quality but the lack of communication and cryptic messages are bullshit. Just tell us what is going on. It seems greedy/shady to me that their was no "whoops, we messed up" email and they're just shipping them out to the customers. Don't come into the msg boards and say "we may have figured out a way to fix the problem" when you haven't even addressed the problem with the consumers first. I ordered many many things from MTS and SRC well before I was a member of the msg board and if I wasn't a member I would have no clue of any issues. Just would know there is still a delay.

tyler Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 @thomasj182 yeah I agree. I mean some peoples records are gonna show up at their house and be the wrong colour and they'll be like WTF. That's pretty bad business Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srcvinyl Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 I apologize! At this time there is no way for me to email a group of people based on a product they bought. I did however add that to our list of things to develop. As well, we added a small mobile barcode to the center label. You wont be able to remove it and it wont cover any of the artwork! Hope that helps! If you want to cancel or have questions call or email us! [email protected] and 888-747-3899 x 107 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys are able to update social media and mass email to get the word out about pre-orders and "found" old stock but when it comes to something like a product flub there is no mention of it and then they are just shipped out to the consumer, it's just shady.

lonesomexloveus Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 i'm still weirded out by the 'we added a small mobile barcode to the center label' comment. is 'small mobile barcode' some sort of code for a QR code? and why on the center label of the record itself?

sirrichardrichard Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 It's a double edged sword here. People shouldn't be upset that the record is on a slightly different colour than they thought when they ordered it (It's just as limited, and not on black). At the same time, by the label advertising a specific colour, which encourages people to buy more than one and artificially creates exclusive "variants", they are asking for this trouble. It seems SRC seems to be caught in the middle of all this and are trying to keep both the customers and label on side...only customers aren't. It's a terribly cliched but it's not like it's colour vs. black vinyl. If it's the same as the first press - only the people who own the first press have the right to be pissed off, not the second group. Do it Fat's way. They seem to be doing fine announcing pressing runs and, gasp, colours well after the record ships. Hell, it used to be a crapshoot if you were even getting colour. It wasn't until everyone else started pressing that they figured they should create a tiered price for vinyl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
element101 Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 I honestly don't understand how people can get mad when something isn't pressed yet and a color isn't exact. It's not like you ordered black and got flamingo pink. Color's are never exact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingwithlions2 Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 i will gladly take one of these 3rd press blues off anyone's hand you dont want it . but i do agree they should of emailed everyone who ordered it as they can email everyone and say we found this and that that is oop .

If you dont want your record email us now. However, I know most are going to flip this for more profit then we make on this record. This Blink stuff sold out in 3 minutes! I will gladly give you a refund if you dont want your record and give it to someone who missed out! Just email us and stop complaining.

srcvinyl Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 That seems odd to me since you were able to email everyone to tell them the product has been delayed. We have a date system that we use (calendar pops up, we pick date for release date). When I change that date, email is sent out automatically. Good question, but hope that clarifies.

lonesomexloveus Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 i feel like i'm talking to myself. i'd send SRC an email asking clarification on the barcode stickers you mentioned, but last time i did that in regards to something, Danny got snarky with me, then stopped responding to me all together.
