runforcover Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 you used to use actual mailers, why deviate from that? Maybe years ago. I don't even remember when we last did that. Two pieces of cardboard + an envelope is much more secure than one piece, and a 7" mailer is more than double the cost of that setup.

jhulud Posted January 7, 2013 Author Share Posted January 7, 2013 Jeff...sent you a PM about the TPs. I want to make sure we're still good so I can pay. Let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onefallenhero Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Why not just add deluxe media mail shipping for a buck? I received all of the subscription 7" series with a single record no problem no problem. Or just order a 12" with a 7". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mindovermatter Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 We waited 5 months for a preorder, I would've paid $1 more to ensure that it arrived safely. Also, 7" mailers aren't THAT expensive. Even from Bag Unlimited (which is not the cheapest place, by a long shot) their 7" mailers are only about .50-.60 each if you buy more than 200 at a time...and I am sure that you need more than 200. Just food for thought. I know that I won't buy any more 7"s from you until I know that it will come in a proper mailer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion two pieces of cardboard tightly packed in an envelope is damn near as safe as a 7" mailer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 Mine arrived today. Good shape. Luckily. Now I have to wait til the other color shows up along w/ the Anne Mixtape 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suchashorttime Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 got mine in today. envelope and a piece of cardboard held up just fine, as have the other 7"s i've gotten from rfc. white/black a/b looks awesome, as does the etching. did i read somewhere that the etching that made it to press was the rejected etching?

mameeshkamowskwoz Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Still waiting on mine to show up... this and the final 2012 Joyful Noise Flexi have made for some light trips back from the mailbox recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rm Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 We will start using two pieces of cardboard, but the price is going to be factored in. I haven't even looked at mine, but c'mon, obviously this is not the best way to ship them. If it costs a little more to do it right... Then do it. mindovermatter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrodan Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 still havent received shipping confirmation for this. they have had them in hand for 3 weeks by now, right? really weak that i ordered this stuff in early october. i realize there were holdups with the etching and i can appreciate the need to only put out a quality product that matches the initial artistic vision, but why did i pay for priority if it wasnt even going to be sent out 3 weeks after it could have?

nothingnatural Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I ordered mine right as they went up and haven't got a shipping notice. I'm not worried though. I did order the Anne tape as well so I figure that's why mine has not shipped yet. Just throwing this out there in case anyone else is worried about their shipping notice. Don't worry, you'll get it at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted January 9, 2013 Author Share Posted January 9, 2013 I had to place two orders separately due to all the snafus on the site when it went up. One order was the black/white 3-split which I posted the pic. I received a shipping update on that one. The other order was the black & white variant plus the Anne mixtape 2. No update nor received that one yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantheriver Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 The mixtape is still listed in the Pre-Orders section of the store. Those must still be held up for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrodan Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 why would a mixtape be holding things up? again, i ordered the 7", mixtape, and shirt back in early october when it first went up. there really is no excuse for stuff not being ready nearly 3 months later. and of course my email has gone unanswered. i dont mind the whole, "don't worry, its a good label, youll get your stuff" replies as long as there is some sort of communication. sadly Jeff is not giving any of that.

thejesseb Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I ordered the mixtape with my Captain We're Sinking 7" and got shipping confirmation the other day. So they should be in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seanicus Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I got my copy of this in and the gatefold is great. My only complaint is that the etching appears to be a sticker instead of a proper etching. Are my eyes deceiving me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
