    Just want to give to give Bullmoose a quick shoutout for being one of the only places that consistently ships First Class instead of Media (with a low free shipping minimum too). My only packages never to get stuck in transit purgatory.

    First class has a weight limit that's usually less than a well-packed LP. Do you mean Priority?

    Maybe? It always saids “First Class package service” on delivery manager.

    A lot of times - for preorders especially - they send Priority 2 Day. It’s a nice touch.

    Another damaged record in the mail due to shitty packaging. Really tired of how few companies know how to properly package a record.

    Couldnt be happier with my decision to scale back on VMP exclusives and use that money for more direct Artist and Bullmoose purchases this year. Except for having to explain the high increase in packages arriving to my door....

    I'll bite on the VMP exclusive for Isbell but that is about it.

    @Twentytwo Only one I’ve bit on in the last month or so too.
    We’ll see what this last Country exclusive is this week though...

    same. took like 3 months for the FOMO to wear off, like quitting smoking, I got to the point where I was like why did I feel like I needed to spend 100 dollars a month for stuff I dont really care about released by a company that on a good day is incompetent and on a bad day purposefully deceptive. now my money goes directly to the artist.

    Cheers to Plaid Room and Bullmoose, still the only two places I’ve bought records online where I know everything will be packaged well and arrive undamaged.

    @tvham Youre right. Amoeba is mostly solid as well but I’ve surprisingly gotten a couple from them packed like the importCDs ones from Kentucky, which are hit of miss. Plus their prices can’t compete with BM or PR.

    Yeah, those two are my main online shops for sure but sometimes when Amoeba has the 15% off deal and/or Groupon it’s worth giving them a look!

    My last order from Bullmoose, the Andrew WK exclusive, came with a massive seam split but they paid the shipping cost to return it and shipped the replacement priority.

    I really hate how much I enjoy a good amount of Bro Country. This new Jason Aldean album is real bad, but I like it.

    I get how big 'Old Town Road' is, but '7' for album of the year? smfh The Grammys are an absolute joke as usual.

    I guess that's your opinion. So is mine but I'm trying to avoid subjectivity by taking into account critical and public reception (since I'd also choose to listen to '7' over anything by Vampire Weekend any day).

    I guess we'll just end this agreeing that Grammys are trash and Lil Nas X forever. I hope he wins every award he deserves (so not AOTY).

    Critical reception is subjective opinions while chart placement is objective fact of public reception is my whole point. Objectively 7 has more hits than any other album that came out in 2019 and so I totally understand why it got the nom.
    W
    wynn72
    I understand why it got the nom too, I just don't agree. '7' did not make a big impact on the charts like his singles did, It never even reached #1 even on release week. Again, your argument keeps being for the two singles. I do not agree at all that singles, no matter how big, should qualify an album for AOTY. You obviously don't agree so I guess Grammy voters are alot closer to your opinion than mine.

    Whoa. Bullmoose with a long overdue website overhaul.
    W
    It’s that time of the month, to start watching peoples VMP packages arrive while wondering when mine will even ship.

    My swaps closed on Labour Day, and then nothing. I actually forgot about it until you brought it up.

    I am less than an hour from the shipping depot. I generally get mine the next day. Nanny nanny boo boo.

    Anyone still waiting on VMP shipping this month? I know it's only the 9th but they've been quicker lately (if no issues) and I saw people getting notices as early as Tuesday.

    Swaps still open, however order says shipped, BUT tracking number has no info yet. Lmao So i'm guessing just the label got created
    W
    wynn72
    Yeah I have my tracking, but it's from Informed Delivery. Label sitting at created for a week now. I'm not necessarily worried if other people havent gotten their tracking yet. I just kinda got the impression that since moving to USPS and getting rid of store picks fulfillment was quicker, especially on months without a huge release like De La or Outkast.

    Not sure why I still preorder from Bullmoose. Feel like I have a 50/50 shot of actually getting my album on time. At least VMP sends emails when things are delayed

    I usually get pre-orders a few days late from Bullmoose, but never more then a few days. They pack well and price low, with shipping $2-3 cheaper than most competitors. They're good people imo.
    W
    wynn72
    Yeah guess thats why I still buy from them. Definitely good people, good pricing, great packaging, and quick shipping (when the item is in stock). But Ive had so many pre-orders backordered or flat out cancelled due to them not receiving enough copies and dont know until I email into CS. I no longer have faith in a secured copy if I place an order with them, even early.

    Damn. I've never had that, though I don't order from them a ton. I ordered the new Joy Division reissue from them it came a few days after release. But the experience can vary, for sure. I noticed they stopped taking pre-orders for the Elect The Dead reissue "to prevent overselling".
