I am happy to be a very patient vinyl collector but I do very poorly with unnecessarily false or misleading info.
The Cherry Tree club folks have been "awaiting shipment" of the records for 3 weeks, most recently mentioning this status in the club email update that just went out. As far as I know, it doesn't take 3 weeks for a shipped package to arrive. Why not just say "still in production but almost done" or "the vinyl is done but our jackets are delayed" or whatever is more accurate?
When I read the email I thought "Oh it reminds me of an announcement for a big announcement". Nothing new
