Pre-Order Thread

So I thought I would buy the Yo La Tengo 2xlp reissue of Electr-O-Pura today and since the GBV reissue came about a week earlier I added that as well. So $43.98 for the 2 records and $46 bucks for the cheapest shipping option to Canada. Well you can just fuck off, I will just live with my original presses of both, thank you.

I know the exchange rate is shit right now, would it be any better if someone the the US of A ordered it for you and shipped it up there?
 
Yeah, the only one I am slightly concerned about on my list was the Radio Dept. I received a shipping notice from the at the end of March and it has not yet arrived. I know it shipped from Europe so I am sure customs is slowed by covid but I have placed an order from Japan and a couple from Canada in the mean time and both arrived really fast. I figure I will reach out in the next week if I haven’t heard anything,
I’m in the same boat, received a shipping notice, but it has not arrived, and there’s no tracking

I'm very happy you are getting "love is the thing" it is a joy, a truly wonderful thing.
 
All these Fiona variants popping up now...anybody else most excited about the plain black version that matches the rest of her vinyl catalog?
Tbh I think straight black vinyl fits the tone/mood of the album the best too. None of the other color variants I've seen have made me want to go so far as to cancel my order. VMP's purple is kind of neat I guess but theres absolutely no way I'm stepping into a minefield with them to get a variant of an album I already ordered.

I’m going to tell myself that I am, since they’re not responding to my request to cancel the preorder


Not only am i not excited, but I'm so mad about their stupid no cancel BS policy that I am hellbent on getting a refund as soon as it arrives.


This was a really slimy album rollout- lock in everyone that was waiting the most for it with no peep about indie variants for two weeks. I'll support an indie over Music Today 100 time out of 100.

A couple of folks in the Radio Dept. Facebook group have said the same thing. Shipped end of March and then nothing. My guess is that it’s being held somewhere right now.

Good thanks for the heads up, well not good that we have to wait but that they're likely not lost in the mail somewhere. I am a fairly patient with person when it come to record mail orders. Hopefully they will get moving again soon.
