dreamover Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 they do make more profit on shipping one than multiple. not much, but it adds up pretty fast on thousands of copies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timbrh2001 Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 they do make more profit on shipping one than multiple. not much, but it adds up pretty fast on thousands of copies. True but That's only assuming they all sellout. Adding extra inventory to their business is never a good thing, which is obviously a rare instance for them but in this case is accurate.

hezagenius Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 For those that cancelled, did you reply to the order email or did you open a new request through their Contact page? How long did it take for them to get back to you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rooks Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Contact page, within a couple of hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hezagenius Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Cool. That's what I did last night. I'll give them till noon and hit them up again. I already got my Amazon order and nary a word from Mondo on the 2 I ordered from them. Fuck that noise. They must have pressed a shit ton of these compared to their regular pressing numbers because normally it is hit or miss if Amazon or my local stores even get copies of their releases.

BuzzersonKillwell Posted November 26, 2013 Author Share Posted November 26, 2013 I'm happy about all the cancellations, hopefully it'll send a little bit of a message. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rooks Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 I think there's been a pretty big buildup to this, and the number of things that went "wrong" with this release is finally moving some people (myself included) to action (albeit small.) 1. Didn't release Halloween until AFTER Halloween 2. Pressed SO MANY (not necessarily bad) 3. Sold a ton of what we all thought was the only option (Black or random orange) 4. Announced event exclusive cooler variant with guaranteed splatter. 5. shipped to distros and stores way before customers 6. shipped a crazy number of vars in the first couple individual and bulk orders. 7. left people who ordered in the first minute of day 1 PO hanging until the final days of November. You all know this, I'm just typing it out for my own sake. I know I'll buy a splatter if they put them up for sale. But I am VERY happy that I cancelled my 2x random inserts.

BuzzersonKillwell Posted November 26, 2013 Author Share Posted November 26, 2013 I'd argue 6 might be a GOOD thing, but yeah. They done fucked it up. I mean, if you get Rooks mad.... COME ON. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rooks Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Haha I'm not mad, just tired of being jerked around. I think my order history shows I've given about $300 to Mondo in the past couple of months. And I looked at that number and thought for a minute about how annoying it has been to give that much money to them and how unrewarding it has felt. As for 6 being good, it would be good if the first they shipped were to the ones who ordered first! unfortunately tis not the case. Anyway, I'm not taking too strong a stance with it because I fully recognize that I'm going to keep giving them money, I'm just going to be more reserved about it.

timbrh2001 Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Im not mad at Mondo either. They always take forever to ship their items so i always expect it. Heck, I just found out the other day that I was celebrating a 1 year anniversary for a different vinyl PO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timbrh2001 Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 I want the splatter vinyl in the regular jacket. Variant cover still isn't doing anything for me haha Buy 2. I never wanted 2 copies of the same OST so once I got the splatter and canceled my original order, I was content. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 On a positive note, I love all the dialogue included in the Halloween soundtrack. Buy 2. I never wanted 2 copies of the same OST so once I got the splatter and canceled my original order, I was content. I probably will... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casinonightzone Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Got my splatter copy last night, so thanks to andrewlucas! still haven't opened it so I can't comment on the color. I was thinking of cancelling my order since I ordered 2 and still haven't gotten a shipping notification, but orange is my favorite color, and I don't have a solid orange record, and I want both covers and all variants of Mondo records, so..... andrewlucas 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrewlucas Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 I got a shipping email this morning. I dont care. I just hope i get one of each so I can have all versions. I just hope it arrives before amazon ships so I can cancel if i dont get both colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same thing for me. I got my shipping confirm from Amazon this weekend. I sent Mondo a cancellation request yesterday. Nothing. My copy from Amazon arrived today. I sent Mondo another cancellation request this afternoon. Nothing. I checked the status and now it says "Shipped". Fuck you Mondo! I only ordered from Amazon as a backup in case Mondo oversold it for some reason and was planning on cancelling it as soon as I got my copies from Mondo because of course they would ship it to people who ordered it on Day 1 from their website before shipping to vendors, right?

jaxvinyl Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 For all those who requested a cancellation before their item shipped: I'd say its a pretty safe bet that Mondo will allow you to return the item for a refund once it arrives. If you technically put in the request before shipment, I don't see how they could deny you. But hey, it's Mondo so I guess you never know...

But hey, it's Mondo so I guess you never know... yeah, finally got a reply from them a couple minutes ago: "I apologize that we are just now seeing this request. We were all working to get the last of these Halloween orders out the door before the end of the day. Your order has already shipped I'm afraid. If you still wish to cancel your order after you receive it please let me know and we will get you sorted out." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadbluehawk Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 No response on my cancelation message. But now my order is processing. So I sent another message. If they ship I'm thinking I'm going to send them back. I got the splatter in today( thanks Andrew) and one from best buy today. Non sense that I have gotten two from two completely difference sources. Instead of the one I order direct within a few minutes tops of it being out up for sale.
