Still no album...

Still haven't received anything from tenclub, although I preordered forever ago. I'm trying to remain cool, but I'm extremely frustrated. I resisted listening to any of the leaked music, for hopes of receiving it on my doorstep and enjoying it in its entirety, and looking at the artwork, etc. I broke down and listened to it on myspace last night because I couldn't take it anymore. Today...still nothing.

Anyone else in the same boat?

    Hey, I still don't have my CD, but I'm in Australia so I guess it has been delayed by customs :cry:

    I thought pretty hard about buying it, but I've already paid for the cd and vinyl from tenclub...I'm not buying a 3rd copy of the same album.

    And the new Pearl Jam home page image is Backspacer playing on a record player.

    It'd be nice if the Ten Club didn't make the pre-order LP crew feel like such fools. I mean, after all, what kind of fan pre-orders a $27 vinyl record? A casual one at best.

    I was just thinking the same way.....o'kay, I had a shite day and I'm going to be "that guy" sorry in advance.
    I have been a 10C member for sometime, pay my dues in full every year and I buy a fair deal of merchandise also. I too bought this album when it first was advertised in the pre-sale. Its been available for two days now and still I have received nothing. To throw salt in my wounds, got home today from work and there was a cd in the mail, I'm like woo hoo its here, finally get to listen to it.
    Open it up just now, it's a cd I ordered FROM EUROPE 5 days ago, "the Armada", Jeff Martin's/Tea Party new band.....wtf....from Europe!

    No e-mail and no LP yet.. Really blows that I could have waited and walked into Target and picked up the LP for around $7 cheaper day one..

    Oh well.. 10C still rules and do plenty to make up for these kinds of things..

    I have always been one of those who would rush to defend 10club on here. Believe me I know that they have dealt with many people having unrealistic expectations in the past.. But the roll out of these pre-orders is a complete and utter fuck-up.. I try not to let my mind go to the place where I feel that the organization is hoping to squeek out a few more sales from us by holding back the pre-orders knowing most of us will go into a store and purchase for the instant gratification. If that is the case then it is just sad that they would intentionally take advantage of the core group who have supported them no matter whether it was cool to be a fan or not.. Especially during these extreme economic times.. I have defended high ticket prices, I have defended the band's wishes not to illegally download early.. But this is just completely ridiculous.. I hope that they are doing something special for us and that is what is holding this up. I mean, honestly.. We could have chosen to go into a local record shop and support our local economy, or gone into the red circle box store and given our money to the faceless nameless man, but we all preordered from the club.. Not just in hopes of getting it early, but also because we knew that the band would get more money from the sale, and in the past they have been very socially responsible with our hard earned dollars.. But this time by giving a BONUS to the corporate purchase and offering nothing to the core fan base, and on top of that not shipping ours in a timely manner is just completely inexcusable. There is absolutly no f-ng reason why vinyl of backspacer should be sitting on a shelf in a goddamn Target store where it will probably never sell, and yet the one due on my doorstep hasn't even left Washington yet.. That is piss-poor marketing.. The first rule to marketing is UNDER promise and OVER deliver.. We are your CORE FANS!! Not some nameless faceless ATM machine for you to steadily extract cash from!! We are owed an apology.. And though not owed, would definitly appreciate some small token of good faith... Done with my rant.. If you disagree, sorry if I offended you, but please show me a sane arguement to defend what has transpired..

    It could be worse. Shipping for international orders was $15 and the vinyl probably won't show up until some time in October.

    Sorry to hear that.

    That's why I decided to just get it at Target. I didn't get the Ten reissue from the Ten Club until 5 or 6 days after release, which was a real kick in the balls with the extra cost and shipping vs. buying it at a local store. So I said never again unless there's a great exclusive bonus for doing so (like extra songs etc., not just a nicer case I'll seldom ever see).

    For those who also haven't received yours, email the TC. I did, and they shot me back my personal tracking number. Two calls later(to DHL and the PO) I realized that it was lost and that neither had it, but both wanted to blame the other. Another quick email to the TC explaining what happened and they agreed to ship me another asap.

    This is definitely the last time I preorder an album like this. The same thing happened to me when Avocado came out, I got it from 10C 3 or 4 days after it hit shelves. However, if you recall when that album came out, they allowed a free download if you had preordered the album. I was ok with getting the album a few days late because I at least got to download it. Why no download this time? Now I'm stuck searching around on youtube because it's not even on myspace anymore.

    Great way to "enjoy" a new album...

    Oh crap! I'm sorry. Didn't mean to steer you wrong. Apologies! The Target version does come with 2 concert downloads and one does the Rock band as well. I sucked up and bought one of those because I was sick of waiting for my TC version.

    Got mine yesterday (Tuesday the 22nd). That sucked.

    It sits unopened in it's package, cause I went and bought one last Saturday.

    Think I'll just leave it alone as a keepsake?

    Got two vinyls coming some day as well.
