Barnes & Noble 50% on some vinyl (Fun, The National, GY!BE, Touche Amore)


Recommended Posts

ordered 7...to shipments #1: 2 albums via UPS received Wed. in a fold up vinyl size mailer. #2 5 albums were in a standard vinyl mailer wrapped in airbags and in a larger box via USPS... I was happy about that because it was well wrapped and gave me a fresh mailer... a little bonus since I mail out 5+ albums a week.

version info:

RL Burnside - Come (180g)

Jack Johnson - Brushfire (Everloving 180g)

TBS - Tell (5th black)

No Doubt - Tragic (clear orange)

Jay-Z - Blueprint (1st press)

Jellyfish - belly (180g)

NUFAN - Hard (only pressing)

It's always funny to me seeing how impatient Americans are with the postage system. ugh i ordered it 2 days ago why isn't it here yet!!!!!! Try waiting 2-4 weeks for most deliveries :(

 

Mine is delayed until the 17th or 19th or something, so it will probably arrive while I'm in the states, dangit

All of use are like that!!! Still pending and I could care less.

Fucking non-Americans and their patience.

Received my 10 LPs today in 3 different shipments (2 from the same warehouse). None of them were in mailers. 

 

Who in the hell taught these people how to pack LP's? I can't believe they sell vinyl. 

 

My Ramones record came by itself, in a Nook Color box, with only crumbled paper on top. Suffice to say, all four corners are horrendously bent/smashed.

 

The other shipments have 6 LPs and 3 LPs, each in a big box with only air packets on top. There are a few bent corners here and there, but not worth the hassle of returning.

I suspect the people who work in their warehouse are poorly paid and don't give a shit.  "Yeah, I know there are record mailer boxes at the other end of the warehouse but I've got one of those big boxes right here so I'm putting these in that.  I gotta go on my lunch break soon.  Fuck those hipsters and their vinyl".

I don't understand why they are mixing up their packaging techniques so much. One record will get shipped inside a nook box with air bubbles and 4 records are being shipped in hassle-free mailers. So random...

All my 3 records came in proper media mail vinyl boxes, but others are in larger boxes with no protection, people in the warehouses just don't give a shit

My guess is there are multiple warehouses (or at least multiple/different people in the same warehouse) who are doing the packaging and they don't all do it the same way.
