Vinyl Me Please (store, exclusives, swaps, etc)

I know, Marshall had the same issue with his first copy then his follow up was fine. I suspect that the issue is at the VERY bottom of the groove, where most stylus won't actually reach, but because I've got a Shibata it actually gets to that point and hits whatever the issue is. The pops come in at exactly the same spot on all four copies. And I've checked the Spotify just to be sure and it's clean. I've already given two away on the PIF thread I imagine this copy is on its way there too...

It's a shame really because it's an excellent album!

I think that's very possible. I have a Shibata too and it causes that damned locked groove on Demon Days. I swap it out for a spherical or I drop the weight way down (I can go down to 1g with it) and it plays through.

See that's funny because I don't have the locked groove issue on mine, could be pressing to pressing though... But yeah I really want to try out a comparable Grado/Nagaoka/Goldring and see what happens to some of my "problem pressings".

I'm in the burbs and I'm in the same boat (Classics and a Discogs order). Been watching informed delivery with no mention of progress for about a week now.

Who did you inquire about the status with? VMP or USPS?

EDIT: RSR, just reread your message, they = USPS

I opened USPS cases online. Fairly straightforward and easy to do. Hate clogging up their inbox with everything going on, but the stuff is obviously just sitting at the distro...
 
The typical reply...

I looked into those two orders and it looks like they haven't left our warehouse just yet. I'm so sorry about the delay! We're about 80% finished with the April run at the moment. Those should ship out by the end of the week and you'll receive an email with tracking as soon as they do, but don't hesitate to reach out if there's anything we can help with in the meantime.
 
Mine never got “fulfilled”. It just arrived yesterday

I'm still "Unfulfilled" with no shipping notice. CS told me they should be out by end of this week? To be fair, I think we're lucky 3rd Party fulfilment centres aren't shut down; I'm sure they are short staffed.

Still can't believe they put these into swaps and that I was lucky enough to get one! I'll be busting into it in a little bit..

While I'm happy that this arrived, I still have no word on my Stooges, Otis, or John Moreland order from March 29th..

I have no words on why so many of your records don't have sleeves
 
Any thoughts on what special swaps could be available this month? Sounds like there might be something. J-Lo bundle? Don’t see that one selling much

I wouldn't really call that getting hosed. Shit happens. This is going to become more and more prevalent as this goes on unfortunately.

Call it what ever you want, but saying shit happens with VMP is inaccurate. Shit happens is like once in a while, sure, shit happens. With VMP and their janky ass allocation system, ‘only shit happens’!😜

I'm hoping for Rolling Stones, Bella Donna plus rolling stones would be some awesome rock essentials to get in my collection

Considering both of my copies of Stones were crackly disasters and they told me they were out, there better not be any in swaps.












There will definitely be Stones in swaps.
