It's a trainwreck and a pile up, but here's the post. You'll have to click through to read the comments.

Wow, I’m one of the people who have yet to be a victim of VMPs incompetence but this was incredibly well articulated and illuminating for someone who’s on the outside of most of the issues that plague VMP. Give em hell Dead, the way they posture themselves towards their userbase is incredibly bizarre and makes you wonder if anyone is actually using their brain over there. When it comes to making decisions.

Hey @Dead C , this guy sure is giving VMP a lot of credit, he just makes me laugh over on the Reddit lol
Logistically, these guys have to consider distribution channels, sell-throughs, re-order points, inventory mgt systems as normally run in their warehouse, cost-benefit analysis and several other factors. Top that into the fact that (as I mentioned before), their entire workflow is disrupted.

...........hahaha, is this guy for real???
I can't order anything on my account, membership shows inactive (and has since migration started). I may have lost out on all 3 December tracks which I wanted. I'm also waiting for albums I purchased 7 months ago. But, I'm not overthinking and chasing scenarios. I'm, literally, just waiting to see how it goes because it's beyond my control and no amount of emailing VMP or over analyzing it on the forum is going to change that. So, I'm chilling.

Yea, I suppose that is true. I feel like I read something pretty direct this last time though like there would be three drops in a row. Then 2 did drop, but no third...

the third will probably be an AOTM that will require a 3 month commitment. Then you'll buy an exclusive you think you need, it'll inevitably get delayed and you'll find yourself still a member next July.

Again, I still don't understand why a non-customer service person is answering at all.

I honestly think it’s totally intentional and they prefer to cling to their classic “what do I know?” excuse instead of putting someone out there who would actually have the answers, because nine times out of ten the answers are pretty shit too

You know what was a better run small business? The Michael Scott paper company.

At least the Michael Scott Paper Company was sold off to a bigger company before it turned into a total mess for the customers.

And 9 times out of 10 they are giving different answers to different people.

FWIW, not an "official" statement - the post was made by me, after the other mods and I (who are not officially affiliated with, or obligated to, anyone at VMP) decided it was the best course of action. It's not in any way written or endorsed by VMP themselves

good to know. I assumed they moderated their own reddit, and took that as an official statement...my bad

I don't know much about BBB, but it looks like VMP is ranked A+ - lol.

I believe BBB has to receive direct complaints to lower their rating? Someone else may know.

I remember SoundstageDirect on BBB toward the end was a killing field

Literally the only time I ever checked BBB was because of SoundstageDirect. I even left a comment! I was so pissed with that situation. I haven’t heard anything since though once I finally got my money back through PayPal.
