Yes, after seeing your post - I was able to enter number on the Mail Innovations website, not the USPS website, so here is my Incredible Journey! (Already posted on the 10 club shipping is f*ucked thread...

You won't believe this... Checked Mail Innovations:


Date/Time Event Name Location
08 Oct 2013 05:47 Undeliverable pkg. Returned. Call sender SEATTLE, WA
08 Oct 2013 04:44 Received by the local post office SEATTLE, WA
03 Oct 2013 12:06 Package processed by local post office CINCINNATI, OH
02 Oct 2013 07:59 Shipment Info Received by Post Office ALLEN PARK, MI
Date Description Location
Oct 3 2013 Package transferred to Post Office DETROIT, MI
Oct 2 2013 Ready for post office entry Urbancrest, OH
Oct 1 2013 Package received by dest MI facility Urbancrest, OH
Sep 28 2013 Package transferred to dest MI facility Auburn, WA
Sep 27 2013 Package processed by Mail Innovations Auburn, WA
Sep 27 2013 Shipment information received
Sep 27 2013 Package received for processing

When I saw it said undeliverable, I called my local post office, they looked for it, not there, asked for the number, postal guy says "Oh I see, this happens all the time, Seattle's Zip Code is 98108, Ann Arbor has a 48108 (mine is 48104), Cincinnati PO thought it 98108 and sent it back to Seattle!" :fp:
So I guess I get to endure this process one more time at least. Thanks a lot Cincinnati. :evil: Just another reason for this Michigander to dislike Ohio!

I think I might win for longest distance travelled, at least in the continental US! What's my prize?

At least I don't need to worry about it being delivered while we are in Pittsburgh and Buffalo this weekend!

That is one Incredible Journey - across the country twice - can't wait to see the condition it will be in. :(

Just received an e-mail from 10c asking for my correct address, so they can re-ship it! Fantastic, I feel like this is going to be like Groundhog Day - how many shipments will it take to arrive in Ann Arbor, will it ever make it past Cincinnati - I wonder if they can put the LB vinyl in with the Vault#3, since they are both back the 10c warehouse... :fp:

I would like to think they would send a single package using a different service. Mail Innovations, in theory, works for mass quantities being shipped at the same time. Good luck to you. Still waiting for mine, but is in my hometown, so I have that going for me.

Well, the LB vinyl confirmation said it was being shipped via Mail Innovations. Fingers crossed.

Mine went a fairly direct route. It still took 7 days though.

Auburn, WA --> Coppell, TX (which is basically Dallas) --> Dallas, TX --> Austin, TX

There's a weird entry though, with Memphis being listed as receiving electronic shipment info, despite the package never going there (I can tell from the time/dates ... it wouldn't be possible). I wonder if some are getting confused and thinking their package went places that it actually didn't.

Still no vault #3 in New Zealand(not with me anyway). Got shipping e-mail on 2nd October(12 days ago gmail kindly tells me). Doesn't bode well for when I'll receive my copy of LB either seeing I only got shipping e-mail on the 10th of October. :(

C'mon little records! Fly fast!!!

Just received in Greece. I got the shipping mail on the 24 of Sep. and got it today! Btw it's huge and it looks amazing! Going to spin it now

really? that's pretty fast...

wow...no shit

I got mine in Canada yesterday. Monday was a Stat holiday here so that was exactly 10 business days since it got shipped. That's pretty standard for US to Canada shipping.

edit. The box looked like it had seen better days... IE it was caved in on one corner. I think bubble wrap mostly protected it though. it looks like one corner of the boxset it a little pressed but it's barely noticeable (and pretty common on vinyl artwork).

Hopefully I find the time tonight to give it a spin.

Hey look what arrived today - doesn't look too bad considering it has traveled across the country three separate times! 7,000 miles by my calculation!

Got mine in NZ today! I wonder how many countries it went through to get here?
