Same here. I sent an international priority package that didn’t register in the system for 6 days until it hit Chicago. Tracking eventually updated but I was slightly concerned the Stax Anthology was gonna disappear.

If it’s in the system, it’s moving.

I bought a couple box sets in one order last year and only 1of the 2 arrived in a fully-mangled box. It was sent priority and took way past the expected time frame. The replacement was sent via Media Mail and actually showed up faster. 🤷‍♂️

For the folks who already received their Anthology but wait for the unboxing: At least have a good look at your secrecy sleeves. Last episode is all jumbled up in mine. Missing one record while another one is twice in there.

Which is exactly the reason I opened all of mine. Not waiting until the last minute to find out they sent me duplicates or damaged records.
 
I find with these anthologies that I like the earlier LPs most, and this leads me to believe that (because everyone is like me), that they could be hugely successful if they did an anthology that spanned a few years. Like Chess Blues 1968-1970. These labels generally have a sweet spot that appeals to most people, and I'd rather have a bunch of earlier LPs vs later.

I was the same way on the Motown anthology. Just didnt get into the later stuff. I opted to buy some other copies of the first 4 I believe. Exposing me to good music at least, even if not primo pressings.

My Stax Anthology has been 30 minutes away in Jersey City for a week. The red is where I am in proximity to where Jersey City is to show how close it is. It’s just a hop and a skip away. It’s maddening.

The Jersey City Distribution center is such a wild card. Once it gets there, you're getting your order anywhere from the next day to next week.
