ChrisWithanF Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 How bad are the dings on some of your boxes? Seen a lotta talk about it, but no one pissed enough to post pics, so can't be too bad, right? Got mine in with no noticeable dings... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseydave77 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Mine had a couple little scratches but nothing complaining about. The grit in these things however is impressive. Had to give Fashion Nugget two good cleanings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axisrecapital Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 My copy came with a big old dent in the lower right corner, which was lame. Then I opened it and thought, wow, this looks great. Then I looked at the records, the sleeves, etc. and thought this is phenomenal. Then I realized that I had 9 records, of which one was an autographed test press copy of Motorcade of Generosity...and I though...wow, for $99, I think I just got the deal of a lifetime....who cares about the packaging scrape, because this is better than awesome! Also....the test press is dated from March of 2013....this must have taken Cake a long time to put together! ajhall04 and stl_ben 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefoxUSSR Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 if anyone wants to sell 'Prolonging the Magic' that'd be sweet. pay you $50 just for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ent Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 I really hope the next batch goes up for order soon would pay up to $150 at this point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seamoney Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Anyone who possibly has a tracking number that hasn't updated: "Ok, this has been figured out. It is not great news. There was a small malfunction in the shipping system (affected less than 10 orders-but 1 was yours) where a shipping label showed as printed, which triggers the email you got. However, it didnt print, and therefore was NOT ever shipped. As of now, you have 2 choices, we can hold your order and ship you one when the 2nd round is ready or we can refund your money. Plz advise. All apologies, we are looking into the technical side of how this happened, so it doesn't reoccur." I was telling them this was the problem over a week ago and that I hoped they would hold a set back for me in case of this or it being lost in the mail but whatever.

niblips Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Jesus. That sucks.I rec'd a shipping notice email last week however I did not receive a tracking number. Guess I should email them and find out..... EDIT - my package is in a sorting facility in Chickenlago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 I just emailed them and got the exact same response back about the label never printing. I also asked them a week ago if i should be concerned that my tracking info hadn't updated and they assured me it wasn't a problem. I'm probably just going to cancel mine and pick it up somewhere else at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just a normal guy kevin Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 It's been so radio silent that I've already spent some of the $150 I set aside for this. Hope it's another week or two before the second run charges go through! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fish Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 They told me today that as far as they know the 2nd press will be the same as the first, but that they have no ETA for when it will be available and to just keep an eye out on the Cake mailing list like last time for info.

If that's the case I will just hold Onto my order. Unless I come across one for the same price. But damn I wanted this already so I can spin it! I think the 10 people that got screwed should get a test press haha just sayin! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just a normal guy kevin Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 The Jack Johnson beach bros who bought the box set and are being pushed to the second pressing are having a revolt on Cake's Facebook page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seamoney Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 not that its much of my biz I suppose, and it doesn't make it suck much less, but didn't you snag another copy of this on RSD anyway? Oh yeah I put it out there that I was buying another one simply for the chance at a test press and a box that wasn't ripped (the one I got on RSD was). I was gonna sell it off for like ~$100 ppd after I got it in. Laying down the extra cash for a chance to have a box in better condition didn't seem too bad to me but oh well. On that note, does anyone wanna trade their box for mine and some extra $$$? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsusi Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 I got a note from the customs office today, my Cake box has arrived! I ordered it immediately after the link was posted here, and my order was marked ready to ship right after the purchase. The status changed to 'shipped' on the 30th of April and now it's here in Finland. But I never received any emails for the status of my order or a tracking code for the shipment. I was about to email them today after reading some of the posts here! It still takes few days for the the box to finally arrive to me, but I'm already happy! (here's hoping it was packed well and the Postal Gods treated it nicely on it's way) Any other people from Europe got theirs yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazHilarant Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Mine was just released to Canada post. For 60 dollar shipping it leaves much to be desired. Eta is may 15th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saurus8119 Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Just wanted to post here that I have a pretty bad pressing issue with Motorcade (all others seem fine). The last two tracks on each side sound terrible. I contacted the Connextion and they are sending me out a new copy in 3 weeks. Seems like pretty decent customer service, so far.....
