Vinyl Made Passionless
Vinyl May Procrastinate
Vinyl Mail Prolonged
All of above for last 2 months fit perfectly for me
Vraiment Mauvais, Putain! could work if they were French (Really Bad, F*ck)

Annnd Dashboard shipping notice. I guess that fulfills me.Got a Fiona Apple shipping notice. So that's 2 out of 3 down...just need Dashboard to ship and I'm set.
A big box (just 1!) arrived from VMP today, with 8 records in it. I haven't opened them all up yet but did go straight for the Oliver Nelson Skull Sessions. Its clearly not what was advertised (and let's face it, @Edd completely smashed it for the Wax Buyers Pressing) but I'm actually ok with it. It's still a cool looking variant (the blue side is better than the red) and im all for the audio quality over fancy pressings. The package itself is great, with a thick spine, gatefold with decent photos etc. Still, I can imagine there will be a LOT of variation in these and there will no doubt be some very unhappy people.

Very. Meaty. Pizza.

@Edd I don't suppose you have any more copies of Skull Sessions for sale? I assume you sold out yes?Many thanks, I mean it. It is not the first time that our ROTM are also an exclusive at VMP (this wonder Nina Simone, Harold Alexander, and Ofege I think).
But this is the first time that "a lot" of people have compared the two. This is, of course, very flattering. But let's stay objective: it's largely related to the fact that VMP is having difficulties. I'm extremely proud of the records we put out (you have to listen to The Brooks), and I know their quality, but if VMP hadn't messed around we would be talking much less about WaxBuyersClub.
If this interests you and you have the time, take a look at our archives and at the artists maybe unknown on your side of the ocean. French 79, The Waxidermist, Brace! Brace !, Extraa, Baston, The Bongo Hop.
I try to alternate well-known artists, who bring people in, and others much less. On each of the vinyl records, the work is the same. The goal is the same: to make you discover a record that we love.
With very confidential pressings (<1000), we cannot be compared with VMP, and I do not wish it (although, and despite their mistakes, it is very very flattering).
Same, but based on the archives, I have some new artists to check out. But yeah...for us Yanks...high shipping cost.The problem with WBC to me is that it's French thus I have to pay expensive international shipping costs
I had a very quick look on Reddit and think I got off lightly. A few look to be solid with the occasional streak.Yeah that actually is decent and cool looking. I don't think people should be complaining about that, especially if it sounds good.

Oh I get it. There will always be a subset of people that complain, and as you said these people may or may not overlap.I mean in all honesty it seems people will complain either way. People complained that their big box shipment got held up over specific records, and now people complain that they're getting everything as fast as possible, but in separate boxes. I know you weren't exactly "complaining", I just find it very funny.
It's also kind of comical that people say the company could save money and not raise prices by shipping things together, yet so many people here and on reddit threw hissy fits if their shipment got delayed a few weeks if one record was holding it up. These aren't necessarily the same people, just saying you literally can't please everyone no matter what you do.
Before someone hastily responds... I understand there is a middle ground between "always ship everything together" and "ship everything separate and as fast as possible". I'd gather to imagine that logistically this can be challenging, especially since VMP can't do basic functions correctly, none the less micromanage their shipping policies.
We still have some copies left, we always do :@Edd I don't suppose you have any more copies of Skull Sessions for sale? I assume you sold out yes?
It's kind of alarming that they can't keep up with shipping to the point where now everything just shipped independently. Seems like a large waste of money.
Yup, mine was similar. Actually looks pretty cool because both sides are pretty different colors.A big box (just 1!) arrived from VMP today, with 8 records in it.

I'm guessing due to covid, everything in the fulfillment center is zoned out and you have pickers only filling orders from their specific zone. Without knowing the layout of the warehouse, there's a great chance in a huge fulfillment center like they use that their product may not be all together right now. Especially product that may be delayed from the pressing plants.It's kind of alarming that they can't keep up with shipping to the point where now everything just shipped independently. Seems like a large waste of money.
When should I ask about shipping? No email yet.
