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

[dhodo]

It's not unlucky. It's a broken system. I'm still shocked that a major online retailer like VMP can't hire someone to make a functional website. They got rid of swap exclusives so that the site wouldn't crash. Now people have less options to swap to and the site still doesn't work.

But I think announcing the El-P repress for instance might have still created similar FOMO, because who knows how many people want that with current swaps or how many they pressed. I didn't really want to take my time since I kind of decided that's what I wanted this month.

They seem to be really quick at answering simple questions. I asked to swap my RHH addon track to Shabaka and was given the quick answer of
"we don't do manual swaps anymore, use store credit and buy the record you want with it."

Same. Got El-P and James Booker on my other account. Currently three choices are randomly locked from last month's swaps across both so I can't select anything using them (including this month's ROTM's).

Hope that a) my swaps get actually unlocked and b) I don't lose those I just locked in.

Do you have 2 VMP accounts?

Seriously, how are they THIS bad at this?

Somehow I knew that was going to happen...the day of getting a store exclusive for $23 are mostly over.

This month is kinda weak. I think I’m going to swap for VMP’s pressing of Aromanticism (if still available).

Very solid choice. One of my favorites from VMP because it introduced me to Moses.

Looks like it. I guess I'll try to swap my RHH track to Albert King and then swap my main Classics to store credit. Being an international that should mostly cover Shabaka, but I'm still not convinced it's going to work.

I just got the same answer. Oh well.

so its not two of them but he is @NathanRicaud himself !!

 

[NewsFedora]

I framed my Shabaka request as the site being down so that hopefully they’ll give it to me amidst the site chaos.

 

[Bluecloud777]

Now what I got is completely crazy
Rap ROTM is standing as swapped to The Roots from last time
Classics shows White Stripes
Essentials I've changed to El- P

Need to contact them to get Albert King. System is completely broken

System is even further fucked! Not only are most of my swaps locked into last month's choices. Classics was set to De Stijl so had to swap it to what it should be, Albert King, which thankfully worked.

Ay As I was locked into a three month one I added a second so that I didn't have to use all of my ROTM's to catch up on old records in swaps.

 

[chemman14]

So the site is up....and it has white stripes as both essentials and classics. Just had to swap my classics for the actual classic or I would have received white stripes. LOL this is gonna be a mess
