Rioux Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Got an email from KRM/Epitaph about "Life On A Plate": Secondly, we're writing to let you know that we're slated to receive "Life On A Plate" on Friday (March 7th) from our manufacturer. While the date of delivery has changed, and is later than expected, we'll be working dilligently on receiving a shipping all of the orders for this classic album. We appreciate your patience because we hate making people wait unnecessarily. So, It seems that it's going to take a while till they ship it mpitts and GradedOnACurve 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of the 4 LPs I ordered, that was the only one without a picture of the physical LP. Hope they get it soon... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+hecollec+or Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I understand things get delayed, etc.... But it'd be cool if KRM bothered to let some of us who have no idea whats going on know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm I wonder if they are going to divide my orders in half. I want my PBP! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikierad Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 i contacted kings road today as my PENNYWISE about time was delivered last week. Apparently life on a plate and PBP are still waiting to be delivered and could be a few weeks before they are sent out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhook Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 So you preordered a record, it was delayed so the label e-mailed you and explained what's going on and you are mad about it? I am confused? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsterrod Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 This isn't even a bad pre-order. It's hardly passed the initial release date. Where's Juan to explain to you guys how you never would have made it through the 90's? thomasj182 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhook Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 It was originally supposed to ship last week (The week of 2/24). They are just now getting around to emailing everyone about it. Which is well over a week then they were originally supposed to ship it out. This email should have came last week on 2/24. But thanks for down voting me anyways! I didn't down vote you. Have you ever preordered a record before? Delays happen chill out, I doubt they are going to steal your money. Rapidfiretollbooth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LBC Punk Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Delays in pre-ordered vinyl are more common than you think. Only time I've been burned on it is by MTS during the great TOYPAJ fiasco of 2009 (is that when it was?) and that was an isolated incident. Yeah, I've had to wait some incredibly long times on rare occasion but I always eventually received the items. A vast majority of the records sold by various sites are ultimately produced from a small number of pressing plants. Sometimes big labels with a shitload of money to throw at rushing things and meeting "deadlines" clog up the system like all the Beatles represses from last year. I'm sure someone who knows more about the production end of vinyl could elaborate but the point is, log jams occur and delays happen. They are frustrating, I know. And we have all experienced them. But in the vinyl collecting game you learn to be patient or you go elsewhere.

Delays happen chill out, I doubt they are going to steal your money. I've preordered lots, just saying if they know about the delay ahead of time they should have been upfront. I've ordered from KRM from before and know they aren't going to steal my money. Used the wrong wording, but yes I get what you are saying.

jonnywreck Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Here's the deal: I work at a screen printing shop that handles some big clients and their distro. Delays happen for ANY NUMBER OF REASONS, even in t-shirt industry. Shit you wouldn't think would happen: shirts advertised on a color that went out of the rotation before orders could be fulfilled, inks being delayed, over/under problems, etc... Think about the INSANE amount of things that could go wrong at a pressing plant. Chances are that it's a Record Store Day kind of hold up, seeing as it's right around the corner, but y'all need to simmer down now, y'hear? You should see some of the illiterate sorts of emails I get up at work. Don't be that guy. thomasj182 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomasj182 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 My bad, guys. I would have appreciated more communication from Epitaph or KRM, that's all. I get that delays happen, and I wasn't complaining about that. Right, I am relatively new to this. I've been buying vinyl from brick-and-mortar shops for a few years, but I just recently got into the online game. This order was my first time buying direct-from-label, so I wasn't sure what to expect. The tracking numbers I've received from other members of VC have, y'know, returned valid info, so it was strange that KRM sent me an invalid one. In any case, it's returning info now, so I apologize for my overreaction. 1. Thank you for supporting brick and mortar. 2. Tracking numbers you get, y'know, from the post office are scanned then and there for direct input. 3. Most labels to fulfill large orders print out massive amounts of shipping labels, pack the record then apply the label, or some sort of variation. 4. It's not strange to get an email with shipping info and have it not be updated as soon as you get it. 5. Thank you for supporting brick and mortar.

If I get a P/O within a month of "ship date" I consider that a success Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aflycon Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 I hadn't realized that tracking numbers could be affixed to the package without the first step being completed ("Digital information received" or whatever it is). Now that I think about it, it actually does make much more sense and certainly saves money that you can print it out and put it on before it's received or validated. I always thought the tracking label was pasted on separately at the PO, because I don't usually scrutinize my mail very closely. I was an idiot. My bad, again. At least I learned some shit! Thanks for the info. Well, it's coming up here fast as shit and will probably be here tomorrow according to USPS, so I should have just bit my tongue to begin with. Wish I had more experience with shit like this in the 90s, or money orders. Then I'd really know what it's like. ;^) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jodi Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 I've received a mail from Epitaph/KRM: First off, we would like to give everyone a sincere thank you for the support for the Epitaph Reissue Vinyl. We've had a great response and hope that there will be more further down the line! Secondly, we're writing to let you know that we're slated to receive "Life On A Plate" on Friday (March 7th) from our manufacturer. While the date of delivery has changed, and is later than expected, we'll be working dilligently on receiving a shipping all of the orders for this classic album. We appreciate your patience because we hate making people wait unnecessarily. Thank you again for all the support and we hope to hear from you soon.

+hecollec+or Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 You're right... I do need to chill out. But I haven't received any emails from them & I'd just like to know whats up w/ my order. Another user says they've received their Pennywise: About Time but not the rest of their order. I just find it odd people are already receiving at least that one (which I ordered) & I've heard nothing. I'll be the first to admit I'm an impatient bastard... all I want is some sort of contact from KRM. $75 isn't a lot to most people but it is to me & I could have used that for something else in the meantime. One simple email letting me know whats up & I could chill a lot easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
