bathroommonkey Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 they aren't asking for more money for the loser edition, i think it's great that they make a buttload. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timbrh2001 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 they aren't asking for more money for the loser edition, i think it's great that they make a buttload.Agreed. Though, Id appreciate it more if they were a little more upfront about their preorder plans, if I could think of a possible gripe. That way people didn't think they had to rush to order this right away... Thats about all I got.That way I would have also taken my time to look at my shipping options and not worry about this selling out before getting my order placed.

EmoVeganBoy Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I am really confused by these "shipping options" because the only option I seemed to have was to pay $18 for shipping. Was there something I wasn't seeing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noalarmplanet Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Honestly i think its a great idea to offer a limited variant for a day or too and just base it on how many order, I mean obviously you'd have to round it out and maybe throw some online later, but everyone's happy it seems.

EmoVeganBoy Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Just emailed them saying that I heard someone had four options for shipping and I only had one. Got this response: I am not sure where this person was ordering from, but it was not from The Postal Service's official webstore since we only offer one option for standard shipping. I wish I could help, but I'm not sure how I can at this moment. Our rates are in line with USPS rates for a package of this size and weight. please let me know if I can help with anything else. Soooo...wtf? lol I don't comprehend....was there another place to pre-order this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerseydave77 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Are you pre-ordering from Sub Pop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timbrh2001 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Are you pre-ordering from Sub Pop? There lies the problem. Had no idea these were available outside of sub pop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no use for a username Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 FML, I just heard about this going live! I pre-ordered, but not sure if I got a "loser edition." Its kinda bs to have this go up a day early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
213041284s Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Wait so, the people who order this but don't get a loser edition...what do they end up with? Standard black 3xLP? Or what Im assuming is they'll just cut off the pre-orders at some point and anyone who got one will get it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmoVeganBoy Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Well damn. Fuck The Postal Service for posting the Cinderblock link to Facebook. I was too frantic to think that these would be available through the Sub-Pop website too. I fucking hate Cinderblock. Oh well...Only an $8 difference if I had ordered from Sub-Pop with UPS shipping. Kind of a lot, but nothing to cry over. I could have gotten that $8 back if Cinderblock didn't have stupid fucking policies. You can't cancel a pre-order with them for whatever reason. So if I wanted that $8 back I'd have to order from Sub-Pop and then wait for my Cinderblock order to arrive and then return it to them and wait for a refund and hope they pay for me to ship it back to them. Not worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nivek87 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 when was this unreleased song recorded? its terrible. definitely doesn't seem like something they would of recorded during the give up sessions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forbenator Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I'm quite certain if you ordered today you'll get a Loser Edition! Will post when I find out for sure! no use for a username 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aych Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Just placed an order from Sub Pop. Here's hoping I get the Loser Edition, but with an album this popular, I'm willing to bet they pressed an absurd number of copies this time around. I'm not really that worried about it.

forbenator Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Definitely going to be the largest Loser Edition Pressing... By far! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aych Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Even if it's not the most limited pressing ever, as a lover of colored vinyl, it'll still be quite nice to have in my collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmoney Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 2400 of Bloom was a lot. This is clearly bigger since it is their second best selling album ever (right?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
