I decided to buy a Target copy even though I ordered one from 10c that still hasn't arrived yet. I've spent a lot more than $11.98 on the band. I guess it wasn't that big of a deal. Plus there are the free downloads we can access now instead of waiting for the mysterious "vault."

I live in Canada... I'll probably receive the CD in 2 months...

SUPER ! I'LL have 2 copy of the CD !

I live in NYC and got mine on Friday the 18th... I ordered a couple days after the pre-orders started... Don't know if that helps...

No delivering SF either. Boo ten club. Why don't I have it? Having a listening party so now I have to go out and buy it.

LAME.

I live in Ireland too, but what I do is buy the CD in the local record store and buy the Vinyl from the 10c, so it works out sweet!

Im so disappointed in 10C that they couldn't send the internationals orders alot sooner.

Ripped off by the "Ten" deluxe and now this crap. We get shafted everytime.

Tim, are ye bothered at all that ye are going to lose customers over this kind of decision making?
God knows when we'll get Backspacer cd, never mind the vinyl.

Hugh Freaking Dillon

anyone else tired of the whining, or is it just me? I live in Canada, and FULLY EXPECT TO GET MINE LATE, LIKE I DID WITH AVOCADO. Get a grip people. Even those of you in the US that didn't get it yet....so what? You will get it soon. "oh no, I'm in the Ten Club, I deserve to get it 4 months earlier than everyone else!". Wah wah wah.

Please remember, that 10C is but a tiny operation that fields a mountainous workload to appease the ever-baby-ish PJ fanbase. some PJ fans expectations of how they should be "treated" is out of this world. We are getting special packaging, and apparently some other extras. When did THAT become not enough for you people?

Jeez Louise. :roll:

Yeah you get shafted every time. I am SO sick of the whining here. No one guaranteed you ANYTHING. They said they would do the best they could. The 10C is small and they have to deal with tens of thousands of fans ordering the new album AND dealing with the upcoming tour, which by the way, they are one of the few fan clubs that get you great seats without screwing you with other VIP fees etc.

No matter how hard they try and all the cool things they do, there will ALWAYS be people who feel they deserve more.

I've been in the 10C since '93 and sure there have been things that could have been done better, but usually they are things that were done with the best of intentions without the thought of how things could go wrong.

The 10C is one of the best if not THE best band run fan club around. I'm still happy that they run it like they do and will gladly wait for things in order for them to continue to exist.

If you don't like it, you don't need to buy anything from them and you certainly don't need to renew your membership.

Thanks for your input. If your tired of my whining, then don't read it. Simple!

Apparently Im not alone in the disappointment in not receiving a copy of Backspacer.
You're not disappointed. Thats fantastic! Good for you.

They said they had all the backspacer cds packed up so they could of shipped international a week earlier (not 4 months as you bluntly put it).

My main point is people in Europe and the rest of the world are tired of waiting therefore probably won't be buying any preorders again.
If you can't understand that (cos 10C can't ever be wrong!) well I feel for you.

Thierry Henry

I call it constructive criticism.

They might ship the next album a week earlier!

the point we are trying to make is you babies just won't be satisfied until Eddie is in your bathroom taking a shit and then someone from 10C fishes it out for you and frames it so you can put it on your mantle. But then you'll still bitch that there isn't enough corn in it.

Give the 10C a break. You don't even have a clue what you are talking about. Was it their fault? Are they bound by some agreement with the band on when/when not to send it out? Is it the fault of the USPS?

Do you know?? NO, YOU DON'T, AND THAT'S OUR POINT.

And we read these thread because people don't know how to name them properly. Does "why why why" really tell me that this is the 103rd thread bitching about Target/10C tickets/shitty album/no album yet? No, it doesn't. So if you don't want people like us reading this trash, then name the thread properly and we won't have this problem. But that wouldn't be good for you, would it? No, because you whiners want as many people as possible to fall for the subject line and read the thread, when you know damn well if the title was "10C sucks I didn't get my BS yet", we'd all avoid it.

At least we adults would, anyway.

Did I mention I'm a 10C member, and I didn't get my album yet? YEAH, but I'm not going to bitch about it. Because I understand that 10C is not at my beck and call. They are a small little business that do their best to satisfy the PJ Babies.

Go stuff your soother back in.

I like when people mention the ten club "dealing with" us and orders. You seem to forget that this is an item they are making money on (as is the 10 Club). We are customers. Seems like they did a good job at getting most of them delivered early but of course the other people feel shafted. Telling them to stop whining isn't helping things.

Next album release you have to decide if the chance of getting it early worth the risk of getting it late.

Hugh Freaking Dillon

I think that's the main item that people disagree on. Some believe they are like any other business, out to make money. I personally disagree. This is a service originally conceived by the band as wanting their biggest fans to have to the biggest and best experiences, it wasn't about making money. I don't think PJ needs the 10C in order to put that new wing on the house. I'm sure they could put the kibosh on this whole operation if they deemed too much of a headache. Which is what just might happen if people continue to bitch about NOTHING.

But there must still be enough fans out there (myself included) that appreciate what the 10C does for such a meager sum. $20 for all the niceties that we get? COME ON. The single. Oh yeah, people bitch about it being late. Well the band is BUSY. The Deep magazines. The specials. The tickets. All this for $20. $25 for me.

Look at other clubs. You have to pay U2 something like $50 a year, and what do you get? Backstage access to their website and pretty much nothing else.

If the 10C pisses all these people off so much, don't renew your membership. It's THAT simple.

Hugh Freaking Dillon

oh, and one more thing I'd like to point out. How many of these whiners that post rant after rant on here have actually EMAILED THE 10C PRIVATELY? I'd wager less than 10%. Or they have and haven't waited for a reply. Just flew off the handle like a kid who didn't get a good enough reason from his mommy why he couldn't have that candy bar.

Posting all this BS on the message board isn't helping either. It's not the right way to go about it.

pearljamfan11

I just wanted to add to the complaining...I'm in WI and still have not received my CD either. So hard to not just go and buy it from Target! I was convinced by people on this board to buy from the Ten Club instead and now I'm paying the price for it. Don't think I'll do this next time...
