cwhitmuzik Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 what a shame. I should've ordered this from Hot Topic when I had the chance :/ I'd honestly wait for a second press and hope for the best, this whole press sounds like absolute garbage. alogical 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circuit bored records Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Ordered Bosnian Rainbows and it turned out to be the pink 2xLP. A nice surprise, was expecting black Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Exquisite Death of NK Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 So I noticed a new wrinkle today at bb.com. I'd been using Regina Spektor's "Begin to Hope" quite a bit to get codes. As of today, its no longer listed on their website. In the past, albums they've realized they were never going to be able to ship (i.e. Pretty Odd) would just appear as not available. Not sure if that means anything... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victorcleaner Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 They're cleaning some of these up. I've seen the price on one album increase $20 after they cancelled my order. It has since been removed from the site altogether. It's still fairly easy to find other "low risk" albums that are either listed below street value (amazon price list) or that are recently backordered. It's modern day crate digging.

markaj311 Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Question, lets say you order...lets call it album "X" today. Do you wait the 4 weeks for "X" to cancel and receive code, or do you order album "X" again within that time period even though you have one order open for it already. Is that how people are doing it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you wait the 4 weeks for "X" to cancel and receive code, or do you order album "X" again within that time period even though you have one order open for it already. Is that how people are doing it? I'm not doing that. I saw one dude say he got banned from best buy and essentially he had a few records he was putting multiple orders in for at a time. I've been trying to find records that are backordered for 1-2 weeks, instead of 3-4 so there is a quicker turn around (cancels after 2 weeks) and just having one order of each record going at a time and then reordering when it gets cancelled. I do have a few records that I'm doing that with, but that's just me haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markaj311 Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 ^ Thats what I'm doing too. I was just wondering because I've run out of backordered records that I'd REALLY want if they do ship. Those are the only ones I'm ordering, because its a win win situation! I did notice the quicker turnaround with the 1-2 week versus the 2-4. Luckily the couple I ordered are the 1-2!

dutchflowers Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 How many open orders at once have people maxed out at? All records I have ordered I would be happy to have if they ship... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markaj311 Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 ^ Id be interested to know how many open orders people have going at once too. The guy who got his account shut down never specified how many he was orderr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Exquisite Death of NK Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Here's what I do: I have about 7 or 8 records that I really want, but have never shipped for me. I always have ONE order for each of them on the site. Every time one gets cancelled, I just place a new order for it. markaj311 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisapple Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Isn't the Open Door EP on backorder as well? Did it ship to you? Weird, it was not back ordered yesterday. I got a shipping notice today. I hope I don't get a fucking CD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisapple Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Well I got the vinyl, fast and in great shape at that. I have to say for a retailer that is so hated I've had pretty good luck with them on the few orders that they have stock for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
