Kjm23 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Hastings is just starting to sell used vinyl, my store is yet to have any. Also all stores should have vinyl mailers now, they are pretty crappy mailers and usually only one record will fit in there but they are better than nothing.

My copy of revolver came in today, no complaints on packaging at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sergeantscruffy Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Hastings does, in fact, sell used records. Let's make sure we're not putting out incorrect information. My local Hastings stocks a few, not many, used records. So while yes, 99.9% of the time you order a used record from their website, it will show up as a CD, Hastings does sell used records. Thats not always true. I ordered Tool Undertow used a few months back and it did in fact arrive as a record. However another "Used" record i ordered did show up as a cd. They do at least sell some used vinyl. THis is new then. They never used to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plasma36 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 so you have doubles of hello nasty and plague soundscapes? if you look to unload them let me know, more hello nasty but both are cool By "on disc" I mean "on CD," and Hello Nasty is without packaging.

somethingvinyl Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I placed an order for 7 records and 1 used CD. Yesterday, I got two used CD's. Here's to hoping everything else was an ACTUAL FUCKING RECORD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scruffy...the janitor Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I got my Misfits - Earth A.D. and it was packaged nicely. Also, it feels like it's 180g??? Was this a thing? Either way, for $5 shipped I am completely satisfied. Hope you all get records and they are packaged nicely too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ac3ebemo Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Ordered about 30 records. So far it is about 60% good and 30% bent up bad and 10% the wrong record. Anyone know how they are with exchanges/returns? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randomfortunepa Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Ordered about 30 records. So far it is about 60% good and 30% bent up bad and 10% the wrong record. Anyone know how they are with exchanges/returns? If they are wrong / CDs they have let me keep them in the past. Busted records they usually had me use a prepaid label and send it back. The refund process takes a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PC Music Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I'm pretty sure the P.O.S album I ordered was a return because the sides of the plastic envelope are split, the poster has some creases and fingerprints from handling, and it's missing one of the download cards. Still, I dunno if I wanna go through the process of exchanging it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futures Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I received my order today. When I got home from work and saw the box it came in I was a little worried, especially after reading all of the packaging horror stories on here. It was in this huge 17"x9"x9" box that said "BOOKS" on the side of it and was bulging out on one side. Once I opened it, it was a bunch of brown paper on top of the two records I ordered flattened to the bottom of the box -- everything managed to be in really great shape, thankfully.

Here's to hoping everything else was an ACTUAL FUCKING RECORD. Luckily, 6 records I ordered were records, just one CD instead of vinyl. Only have to make one return.

ruckis Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I ordered 10 records total. So far 1 cd and 1 record have shown up. I've got my fingers crossed every day when I get home from work that the package arriving from go Hastings doesn't fit in my mailbox.

aphasias Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Recieved 2 packages today. One containing Johnny Cash's Ain't No Grave. Arrived alone in an LP mailer, though the shrink was torn and there was a small split on the top. None of that bothers me and the tear in the shrink is likely from being on a store shelf. Luckily they sent out the version I was hoping for (and the version that matched the UPC on gohastings.com's listing), which was the Lost Highway 10th Anniversary Edition on clear vinyl. Second package was Blur 21, Misfits' Earth A.D. and Antony & The Johnson's Swanlights. These ones came in a box with the 2 single LPs being wrapped in bubble wrap and placed on top of the Blur box. It was pretty decently packed and nothing was damaged in transit, though the Blur box had torn shrink and a little shelf wear. Nothing to complain about.

j67ab Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I got Beastie Boys Ill Communication in a bubble envelope mailer and Mars Volta Bedlam in Goliath in an Amazon style Mailer.

Dusted_By_Space Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 i got all of my stuff in as well, no complaints on any of the three packages i got in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyfranciosa Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I got Magical Mystery Tour in a record mailer yesterday - expecting my second package of 3 records today. It seems like - for the most part - they've gotten their act together for shipping LPs. A few stores seem to be using bubble mailers still, but most instances I've seen have been real boxes for records. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
