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

Uh, just walking into this mess and what the fuck? Ridiculous prices lmao.

I just cancelled my Hip-Hop add-on and now MF Doom's MM.. FOOD is showing up with "scheduled cancellation" despite it being the month just gone and having been charged for??

I would have waited to cancel...they won’t charge again until the end of the month. It should be okay but hopefully you still get Doom!

Hey how's do you guys know how many dead boxes they sold, or are sitting on? Several people have mentioned it but I didn't know you could do a stock check on anthologies.

We all just assume they have a lot because they are STILL offering slipmats to the first 3k buyers, and they pressed 7.5k...so they are sitting on at least over 4,000 boxes.

Yikes just got the email. Sadly I’ll be out of the add-ons. Can’t imagine anyone would really be on board with this, should be interesting to see what happens.

Oh shit, after catching up here I realize its not just the add-ons. Wow, this is a mind-boggling move on their part. I will be out once my sub is up. Seems like a move only a desperate company would make, or their exclusives are going to be insane and extremely exclusive. Still, what a hike.

Where should I go to get vinyl now.. a place with exclusives that are very pretty and can give essential stuff that can feel curated for me..

And not cost an arm

Unfortunately doesn’t exist, maybe one will arise in the wake of this kamikaze strategy from VMP but for now the options are very limited. Secretly Society is cool!

I wonder if this partly motivated VMP to test a price increase. They are starting to realize there really isn’t a service on the same level as them, with as wide of a reach into different labels and genres as they do. It sucks man.

Thanks Mike and yeh, regrets on this right now for sure. Just seemed obvious to me I wouldn't be cancelling the ones I've locked on, chosen, paid for and are in my orders haha. Guess nothing should be assumed with this company. Have emailed them to clarify though so hopefully they can correct it and just cancel my add-ons without the orders lol.
 
Prices probably have gone up in the past year especially with that one lacquer plant burning down. I'm sure that price is being passed along and everyone's probably getting pinched in this economy with things slowing to a crawl in March-May. The problem is the juice is no longer worth the squeeze. As soon as I get my records in for August, I'm cancelling. Then I'll sit back and see how many "WE WANT YOU BACK" emails will come in with discounts to get things back to the old price.

And a question I needed answering was answered:
Cancelling mine but have a LOT on preorder.... will I still receive these with no shipping costs if I cancel? (International member)

Yes, cancelling doesn't affect already placed orders.
 
At $43 a month every record needs to be an absolute smash hit with AP quality pressings, they can not keep shoveling “acceptable” ROTMS into our collections for that price. There is no room for the Bar-Keys forgettable album, John Mayer, Salt N Peppa or Patrice Rushen at that price point. The next 3 months better be Frank Ocean, Section 80, etc etc for them to justify shit like this.
