horrorbusiness138 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Not one of my records (thank god) but this guy I follow on IG from Australia collects Revelation Records releases and other early hardcore records. This is a Killing Time record that met its demise from the fedex guy, but still. FUUUUUUCK Damn!!! That made me cringe just looking at it.

SBarry Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Whether it's the USPS, FedEx or whoever, they have to know as they fold and or stuff these records into people's mailboxes that they done goofed right? I mean it has to be obvious after the fact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psus2h Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 I don't understand how you could miss them, unless you are walking into your apartment texting on your phone or something, I feel they are skimping out on you. I'd tell the manager there is no way on Gods green earth that you could've missed 3 frickin notice slips! That's just absurd I feel like they're cheating you. Hope your investigation goes well! I swear they claim to leave them, but don't because it takes time to write them out. I've had the same thing happen, no notices left, and the PO didnt have it. Luckily the shipper insured it, so it was resolved quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmoney Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 I sold someone this record. This is what they sent. They are overseas. Awful. Just awful. On that note, they asked me what I propose to do about it. What is the right course of action here? Edit - they showed the 7" sleeve with two bad creases in it. But the vinyl is fine it appears.

But the vinyl is fine it appears. unfortunately, if i've learned anything working with USPS, it's that you are responsible. So either ask them to send it back for a refund or work out a partial refund. I'm going to start requiring insurance on any item worth over $50.

If I ask them to send back, it'd cost another ~$12. That's x2 is what the record is worth. I've never had someone agree to sending it back overseas. I'll probably suggest that though. Partial refunds are the worst. I feel like I get scammed every time. (and by every time I mean never cause I ain't into that) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(and by every time I mean never cause I ain't into that) i wouldn't pay for return shipping. i'd just say if they want to send it back, you'll refund. they probably won't want to. sucks either way. but at least it's not an expensive record . gmoney 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseydave77 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Offer the partial refund Grant. It's the easiest way to resolve it. Selling overseas is a bigger headache than it's worth and I find the increase in complaints correlates to the vinyl explosion. The more people collecting the more shitbags in the mix. As to that Killing Time LP - that's mostly sad since it's a great record. In Effect put out some awesome awesome stuff. I remember seeing them open a Bad Religion show in '94 and being blown away. The records never met the live performance but Brightside is great nonetheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude asked for a vinyl + shipping to him + shipping to me refund. And "cardboard you used is too lightweight for internationnal." I'm about to just cut out international orders.

smeepo Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Like most labels, damage during shipping is not (necessarily) their problem or their fault. I don't believe that a label (or cardboard company) has in mind "these mailers are for international shipping because they're nice and heavyweight," so that accusation about the cardboard being too lightweight is bullshit. How were you supposed to know that would happen? It looks like it was dipped in water and stepped on a few times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayteamanis Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 I usually explicitly state that once the record leaves my hands, it's not my problem and they can pay for insurance if they want. Usually my PO is great about stuff, but I got this a while back right after RSD. I'm not sure how to post Instagram photos on here so that's why I chose a link.

Aych Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Apparently, USPS doesn't like Kishi Bashi very much. This is my friend's copy that she got from Joyful Noise a few days ago. She said that the mailer was basically bent in half and that this picture doesn't even cover all of the damage. I'm sure the sleeve is totally destroyed too. Apparently, though, the bonus 7" survived somewhat unscathed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David The Gnome Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Maybe if the album was called "Heavavy" this wouldn't have happened. I don't blame the USPS. futures 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMoosen Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 so I have never had any issues with USPS until recently. i sold someone a record on here. sent it out to them, Ohio to NY. It was sent on the 13th I believe and has been sitting in Jersey City since the 15th. I talked to my local post office today and the guy said to wait a few more days and then he will see what he can find out. He said Media Mail takes longer than other methods, really dude? Fucking a.

I had a similar experience once. I had two-day priority shipping on a record and it sat at the post office for two weeks before it left. On the bright side, it actually arrived two days after it left the post office. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niblips Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 I'm waiting for a package from Merge Records, It shipped on May 21 from Chapel Hill, NC and it's supposed to be coming to Ontario Canada. Currently it's in Miami FL, That's 800 miles in the wrong direction...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
