stokd Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 After getting burned on this one (well not burned, but really? In the end waiting 4 months for a record I pre-ordered is too much), the Farewell Continental LP that STILL isn't shipping, and a forum user from the beginning of summer, I'm starting to give up on this whole pre-ordering even a month or 2 in advance. MTS does have awesome releases but come on. Every single thing I've bought from them has been delayed. /firstworldproblems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rivalsandlovers Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 I have no problem with delays, even if they are frequent, as long as I ultimately receive a quality product that I paid for... But the lack of updates does get tiresome. Clearly there is distress amongst your customers and one would think that a few more updates would help alleviate some of the concern.

thebear Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Man, I left a pissed off comment last night on their Facebook without noticing they put up those comments about the e-mails "this morning", so I felt bad and took it down. Now I want to leave one that's even more pissed off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pushbacktosquare Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Anyone know if MTS is going to continue pressing Blink vinyl? I have a hunch they might try to do Greatest Hits. It's the only one that hasen't been pressed yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebear Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Right? I'm happy this is the last time I'll have to deal with them. I had to deal with this last time with Enema, now TOYPAJ. It's great that the product will be top notch when we get it, but screw the waiting and being kept in the dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birdwell Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 good grief the whining in this thread. I realize you kids are bummed out with his lack of communication...but I would assume silence means he hasn't heard anything back from the pressing plant...and yeah it sucks that he waited until it was the scheduled release time before he really got the ball rolling on the release, but it's not as if it's the first time the kids done this. You know the end result is going to be pretty grand, fucking relax, take a deep breath, and be patient....quit acting like a bunch of ADHD 3 year olds who just got their half eaten king-size snickers taken away from them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birdwell Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Never paid this much for a half eaten Snickers. and you shouldn't....the difference is you'll get your record(s) in their entirety, it's a real bummer it's taking longer than expected...but that's become the norm of things to expect with vinyl pressing...and especially with this label Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got updates up every 5 minutes on his Facebook about a new band he signed or some new release he's got going out, but nothing about this. I don't really care if he's done this before or if the product in the end is awesome, every product from labels like this could be the one where they finally flake out, and the complete lack of updates (coupled with updates about updates that don't come) makes me feel like they really haven't got their shit together. At least if they sent out an e-mail saying 'Hey, the pressing plant was supposed to get back to us today, but they didn't. We'll e-mail you as soon as they do' would let me know that this product still may exist. So far, all I know is that a few days after I was supposed to have it, after prodding from pissed off consumers, they let us know that they just settled on a gatefold. Oh, phew. All concerns alleviated. I understand they give out a great product at the end, but I don't like feeling dicked around when I've paid good money. It's not good business, and as long as people don't make a fuss about it, it will continue. I'm not saying boycott the label; shit happens. I am saying we shouldn't let them keep paying customers in the dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
