mortenso Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Lost control and got the package with all four versions... Guess I'lll keep the green and black and use the others as gifts. My mates are some lucky fuckers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markok Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Im sure it sold out in 2 minutes, most of the previous ones have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
withengineheart Posted February 2, 2013 Author Share Posted February 2, 2013 Im hoping that they are not using that same old pressing plant again they have used all for these re-issues - awful scuffs on every god damn record. Is this based on the Carcass reissue or recent Earache reissues in general? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markok Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Is this based on the Carcass reissue or recent Earache reissues in general? Carcass is the only one I dont have. I have all 4 Morbid Angel reissues and all 4 Napalm Death reissues and the Dillinger Escape Plan EP reissue. All these are with with light "scuff-marks". Its actually probably not scuff-marks per se but some kind of residue (stains all over the records) which look exactly like scuff marks. Its not as visible (if at all) on the coloured ones.

markok Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 So, I read from Nuclear War Now forum that all Earache mailorders are fulfilled since february by cmdistro? Anyone know the reason for this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steventangent Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I really wish I'd had the money for this. Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
withengineheart Posted February 7, 2013 Author Share Posted February 7, 2013 Wow. Great read indeed. Seems like a positive move forward for both partners involved. CM is fantastic when it comes to packaging, low prices (including shipping) with bases in both North America and Europe, and tend to send a bunch of goodies with every order. Definitely more customer friendly than Nuclear Blast who gouge wallets by refusing to ship any other way than FedEx outside of Germany (ended up paying for shipping twice, first to NB then to FedEx). Anyhoo, hope this gives the green light for At The Gates reissues!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markok Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Interesting. My experience with Nuclear Blast and CM is the opposite. A lot of problems with CM, none with NB. They are both with helpful customer services but with CM you have to pressure them a 10 times harder to make things right. And their (CM) record mailers are bloody awful - almost every single album I have received from the are with splits. And Earache removes records from the jackets, Im not so sure cmdistro will.

withengineheart Posted February 7, 2013 Author Share Posted February 7, 2013 Huh. I've had the total opposite! Asked CM to send outside the sleeve and they obliged. I love NB for every reason other than shipping issues have had more affordable and pleasant experiences with CM. The shipping issue could also just pertain to Norway's FedEx policy. Anyway, i ended up paying close to 100 dollars for 1 record after all was said and done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptrsev Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 What happened? Customs?In my experience, Earache is by far the best of these three. Their shipping charges are extremely low, yet they take great care when packing up orders (not only do they ship the records outside the jackets, they even ship the records in generic white inners if there are printed inner sleeves).CM is okay, they do ship records outside the jackets if you request it, and shipping is not too bad. This can certainly not be said for NB, whose shipping charges are simply outrageous (€20 for a single record).Can't comment on customer service as I've never had to contact any of them.

withengineheart Posted February 7, 2013 Author Share Posted February 7, 2013 I got a bill from FedEx a month later for about 200kr after paying the 20eu to NB. Contacted NB before placing a second order and they claimed it was a customs issue but the recond was of a value under the customs quota and it was a FedEx bill. Are you based in Oslo? Can't see that it should cost more to send it to Bergen. I've basically resorted to buying NB products from private sellers and from the US webstore ( which is ridiculous) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptrsev Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Dude, I think probably FedEx fucked you over. I had a similar issue with an order I placed with NB last year. NB declared a total value of €40 on the customs sticker, but included a detailed invoice where it clearly said that the value of the product was €20. The only problem was that FedEx only looked at the value stated on the sticker, so they processed the package as non-exempt. A month later I got a bill from FedEx for NoK 204 to cover VAT and customs fees. I e-mailed them a scan of the invoice from NB and told them that they had made a mistake and that I wouldn't be paying the bill. A month later they wrote me back and said okay.

withengineheart Posted February 7, 2013 Author Share Posted February 7, 2013 Wow. Shitty. Sounds like the same experience I had but was on vacation in the states and couldn't contact them directly. Next time I'll probably ask NB if it's possible to write a smaller amount on the customs form and be sure to contact FedEx immediately. Thanks for the advice! A definite plus with NB is the catalogue. Great readin' n' shittin' material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptrsev Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Four colors? One for a box set, maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest obzen Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I believe the 4th will be the NB exclusive color. They did this by adding green for Carcass - Symphonies last month. I could be wrong though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
