Mine ROTMs were not on my Orders page yesterday, but they are there now.

It’s Wool…
Finally got our White Stripes and played it today and I thought sound wise it was just ok. Seemed a little flat.

Im still waiting on July. 13 days wait (and count8ng) for a reply to my email. I won’t return again after these 3 months. Final nail in the coffin !

So where does the swap credit show up? I swapped BVSC for credit + 20% but where does this show up outside of the "order" of the swap for Store Credit item?

It should show up on the top of your membership page, however it doesn't appear they have applied it yet even though they said they would on the second lol.

I put something into my shopping cart, just as a test, and when I clicked "proceed to checkout" it gave me the option to add my Swap Credit as if it were a coupon code or whatever. So, for me, it worked.

Thought I’d share the response I got after 2 weeks of waiting....
Hey there,
Sorry for the late reply!
Not really sure why your July title didn't ship out, but all your pending orders appear to be shipping with your August shipment.
Once that goes out, you will receive a tracking email as well.
Does that clear things up?
Let me know if you have any other questions, or if you need anything else. All the best!
-Paul
so I think I’m getting everything soon ? Although I’d not bet against me getting August’s vinyl without July included.

I got the following:
I got an update that your order will be shipping out this month. It experienced a delay because of a warehouse software issue. I sincerely apologize for the wait. We'll be sure to send over your tracking information as soon as that ships.
I'm not really happy with that answer but what did I expect? I'm crazy to think a company that's a record of the month club would actually send a record out in the correct month! This is the worst $1 I've spent in a long time!!

Love that the general response is "sorry no clue why it didn't ship but whenever it does ship (August, September, next year) we will be really sure to send you a tracking number so you can watch it sit in New Jersey for a couple weeks before it gets sent to you via Guam and/or Germany"

Reddit is saying VMP is upping their prices. $40 per month for Essentials and $33 per month for Classics and RHH add-ons.
Not sure if they made an official announcement yet, but it's showing on peoples member pages

A 3-month sub is gonna run $119 (up from $87) and add-ons are increasing to $33. Too rich for my blood. I can't justify a monthly record at $40. That's like, around (or more) than what I'd pay for top-tier new MoFi.

I just got the email. I'm done after "Ladies and Gentlemen" so it'll be the perfect time to cancel
Now REALLY isn't the time to pull a price hike of that proportion. I just cannot foresee this going well for them.
Yup, I saw the same thing (except my 3-month was $81). The other thing I noticed was last month I was charged sales-tax. First time for that, and I'm not complaining too much about it, but there was no warning to me about it, and now a 50% price hike? I've got one month after Ladies and Gentlemen.... so I'll likely be taking my vinyl money elsewhere. I would've probably been okay with like a $5-$15 increase for the 3 month, but I can't justify spending $40 a month for 1 record. Which is too bad, because overall I've had a positive experience with VMP (I know others haven't, but I can only attest to mine). It was fun while it lasted.

I agree that a small increase makes sense, but such a significant one, coming on the heels of a bit of controversy and two months in a row of COVID-related shipping delays (granted, not necessarily their fault), is just terrible business. My 6-mo renewal was slated for December, so I cancelled. Maybe they'll come to their senses and change things after they see the reaction.
Especially for 2LP releases, $25 was a bargain - so long as you were getting something you would enjoy - but at $40, I would rather be in total control of what I'm getting, not hoping to find something in swaps.

I suppose at a 50% increase, they can afford to lose 1/3 of subscribers and still hit the same profit margin...

Fucking hell, that's insane. They're trying to become a premium service now and pricing out (presumably) a good chunk of their demographic.

It'd save shipping costs.
