jhulud Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 I am still astounded that there are so-called collectors out there sending out records in fuckin' bubble mailers! Without any cardboard or anything to "sandwich" the record(s) in between...just threw the record in and mailed it... And not even a note or warning outside to say "Fragile" or "Do Not Bend"... At least the record arrived in Ok shape...the sleeve is a little bent and dinged up...and the record itself is fine... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronniethebear Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 I've gotten a couple like that recently. Needless to say I was NOT happy about it. Just ask my girlfriend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted December 24, 2007 Author Share Posted December 24, 2007 I was stewing...I came home for lunch and as I was about to walk out the door, I heard the mailman throw the damn thing on our bench that it's in our porch...with another package (a small box with a 430-page book in it) on top of the record... Grrreat... Now I have to get creative with the eBay feedback I'm going to leave this guy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyle Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Wow, only an idiot would do that. Also, I'm really surprised there are people on this site that don't know to mail records OUT of the sleeve to prevent seam splits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patron Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 I always ship the record out of the sleeve, wrapped in newspaper to make it a little more snug in the plastic sleeve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattisr1984 Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 so, this is how i received my copy of botch - we are the romans from some dude on ebay a year and a half ago or whenever i got it. i was scared to open it to say the least. this is just flat out fuckin dumb considering a record mailer is at least the same cost as that mailer, if not less.

Guest vito Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 i'm shocked how anyone could think that it would be alright to mail an lp like. glad to hear it turned up alright considering how these packages just get tossed around. just today i received two 7"'s that were sent in a cardboard mailer inside a bubble mailer, which i thought was pretty good of the guy. my advice: find someone who lives near the sender and, forcefully, teach him how to send out a record.

momentumlost Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 this is a completely dumb question...but outside the sleeve? explain so i dont make a mistake...i usually get an lp mailer and wrap the record in bubble wrap. just to make sure nothing moves around...

You just take the record and paper sleeve and put it outside of the sleeve, but both within plastic sleeve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markalark17 Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 ive recieved a few records like thiswhat is the purpose of taking it out of the sleeve? It's supposed to reduce ring wear and seam splits. But I've always been worried about the record getting scratched. But I've never shipped a record, soo...

steventangent Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 I've gotten a couple like that recently. Needless to say I was NOT happy about it. Just ask my girlfriend. Yeah, from that same motherfucker on ebay who sent me Jets To Brazil! I saw your name in his feedback. He's going to refund my money, because mine was trashed.

It's supposed to reduce ring wear and seam splits. But I've always been worried about the record getting scratched. But I've never shipped a record, soo... I guess I'm more concerned about scratching the record. I would prefer people shipped in the sleeve. I can deal with a seam split but if the record is scratched that really sucks. I guess I'm not as much of a "collector" as some of you though. I buy records to listen to them. Of course I want the package to look nice but that's secondary.

Probably even shipped on the same day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

controlthebleeding Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 I had a JAY REATARD 12" sent to me without any kind of support backing or anything, or a "fragile-do not bend" stamp, nothing... when i opened it, the record was in about 8 pieces, and it was sold out by the time i got it..luckily i was reimbursed, but still. you would think a record label that sends out records on a large basis, would learn to take the record out, and place piece of backing board on either side to reduce the amount of damaged records that people recieve.

booyahachieved Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 Funny (I wish) story... Back when I worked at a small mom and pop record store we would order direct from Victory. I shit you not, they put a stack of records IN THE BOTTOM OF A BOX and then threw maybe 10 shirts and some other cds and shit on top if the records and mailed it out. Luckily, the only item that ended up being damaged was a clear pink copy of Thursday's Full Collapse that was at the far bottom. It had a huge spider shaped crack on one half and was luckily still in one piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
