does anyone know if the artwork is only on 1 side of each sleeve? So you only gets 6 songs artwork in each set so there are different sets?

I wouldn't worry just yet. My sister's boyfriend received his Vault #3 vinyl two and a half weeks before me and we both placed orders within minutes of each other and live about 45 apart. If you think there's some rhyme or reason behind the abyss that is the postal service, I'd like to hear it.

Another week and no Sevens. I guess it's safe to say it's not coming. Anyone want to sell me theirs?

I'm in the same boat. Ten club doesn't consider it lost until 90 days after purchase. That's February 10th then it will be replaced provided that there is stock available if not a credit will be given. Here's to hoping it's still on the way.

Thanks, I'm trying to be patient but it's hard when other people in Toronto were receiving theirs 3 weeks ago.

Well, looks like stolen mail isn't so far-fetched after all: http://www.edmontonsun.com/2014/02/02/rcmp-in-lac-la-biche-arrest-canada-post-contractor-for-stolen-mail

Still waiting for my Sevens...

stoppler_pj

Got mine today in Montreal! I open it and it is beautiful! just on appearance it is way cooler than vault #3. maybe the nicest looking package from the PJ catalog? if sevens contained some non-album tracks i would put it up at the top as one of the most desirable collectable PJ items.

I may have missed this but are they all coloured???

Also still waiting......

nippleholic

Another week and no Sevens - anyone else in the GTA (or Canada) still not receive theirs?

nippleholic

UPDATE: seems like Canada Post fucked up big time and returned my package back to 10C because some moron at CP wrote that the address was "incomplete", despite it being complete and accurate on the label that Santos was nice enough to send me a picture of.
I've been living at the same address for 30 years, so this is really frustrating and infuriating. I called Canada Post and they didn't have much of an explanation either, except that it might have been a "mistake".

FUCK YOU CANADA POST!

ACCBootlegGoddess

That's BULLSHIT! I wish 10C could bill Canada Post for the cost of shipping it twice PLUS any import fee's you may now face since they prob won't chance sending via Canada Psot again.

nippleholic

Yeah, it's being resent via standard UPS (with actual tracking now).
I used to have a ton of delivery problems with USPS when I had stuff sent to my American address, but it seems Canada Post is getting just as bad.
Starting wage is $26/hr and they can't even read - ugh!

Yes all are on colored vinyl.
Pearl Jam - Sevens (Discogs Link)

Finally received my Sevens today - after paying $40.73 in customs and import fees. :(
Total cost to receive my Sevens: $120.41 CDN
I just lost my job too, so this hasn't been the best week.

Except that your sevens is worth more than the $120 you paid for it.

Since I'll probably never sell it, that's not relevant to me.
I'm more concerned that Canada Post's mistake cost me an extra $40 and they have no intention to reimburse me for that.

Sure, that sucks. I'm just saying that a lot of people would be pretty happy to only have to pay $120, lost job or not... There's always a bright side, is all.

I'll trade my copy of the Constitution hall triple LP and cover all of the postage for a copy of sevens?

You can file a claim to get the duty cost back. It isn't a guarantee but it is worth a shot

Yes, I 'm happy that I actually managed to buy a copy when they were available and I'm happy that I finally received it, but it's hard to not to feel angry when someone else made a mistake and you're the one paying for it.

Would I file the claim with Canada Post or UPS? I filed a complaint with Canada Post and they have until March 7 to investigate why my package was mistakenly returned. Regardless of their findings, they said they weren't responsible for taxes and duties and that I would have to take it up with UPS.
The majority of the extra $40 was a $29 UPS fee (listed as "OIC" on the receipt - whatever that means) and I sent them an email yesterday. We'll see how that goes.

If this is directed towards me, then I think you'll have better luck with someone else. After all I went through to get it, I think I'll probably be buried with it lol.

UPS basically charges a fee for carrying a package across the border, in my experience they charge it 100% of the time, depending on the declared value of the package. It's kind of a scam in my opinion cause our customs people rarely pull a package and charge duty on it, but you pay it anyway to UPS whether they incurred the cost or not.

It's not really a Canada Post issue, other than they screwed up to begin with which meant UPS took it over.

I never have anything sent UPS unless it's within Canada. If I can, I always go USPS when crossing the border, UPS is quicker and they go right to your door, but the fees are annoying and can add up quickly.

Sorry about your job. Maybe it will lead to something better.

Yeah, if I had known that the charges were so high, I would have just told Santos to resend it via USPS. I just wanted my Sevens so bad after Canada Post messed up and agreed to him sending it via UPS. I've never had experience with UPS ground, so I didn't realize the import fees were going to be that high. Will never send or accept anything via UPS ever again, that's for sure.

Thanks for support, I'm definitely trying to take a positive attitude towards it.
