Haha, yeah hopefully I'll have mine before they play the UK next. Also, as the UK orders aren't tracked we don't get to see the weight. I think 2.2 pounds is a single 'll and a seven inch. But I think they've probably just used that for everyone's.
This is super fun. Thanks for starting this thread. I am at 2.2 pounds as well. Who wants to top that? BOOM!

I am excited yet practical. Hoping for something cool/rare but expecting a backspacer. I can't imagine a lot of the people who do score something crazy will post it. Imagine the flood of pms they will get?
2.2 is probably the average weight. They probably weighed all the boxes together to get it. That way it will work out as mail innovations will weigh anyways and adjust as someone else said. Do we really think 10c weighed them all individually? I love them despite their flaws but even I'm not that optimistic on something like that.

Well... I don't wanna rub anything in anybody's faces. I don't wanna bitch. This was supposed to be positive and about the anticipation. Sorry.
Don't let Mr. Happy up there ruin your fun. I personally don't get sarcasm, I think it's the poorest form of communication. Excited for everyone who has stuff coming their way!

I got one, although when it will get to Australia is always a mystery without international tracking.
In an ideal world I'm hoping for a red LB, colour PJ20 or Coke Bottle Ten but I know they're all pretty low quantities so I'd happily take a Moonlander or a Tres Mts (or a Benny of course!) For the 7"/10" part, Sevens or Music For Film would be top of my wishlist, then Mad Season, MLB or even a coloured Fixer.
I have nearly all of the others but most of my vinyl is still in the UK so my collection here is looking pretty bare.

I'm in Canada. I dont think we get a weight. Or a tracking #. I'm hoping for riot act. Had a chance to buy it in a record store back in the day and picked beer. Bad decisions. But I'm excited to see what everyone gets. And can't wait to see when they start arriving. Seems pretty quick process so far
Hello Benny, I'm brad I have rndm mystery sale. I sit in my tres mtns eating avocado patting my ten legged dog. Wondering what vinyl will be delivered to those who made it thru. What a mad season this competition was it was like a lightning bolt went of in a coke bottle. When the white screen of death it appeared it made my backspacer turn white. The place went into the wild while others just went on in life. The riot act continues thru the rear view mirror I gaze say to my self thank god I'm alive. Good luck to those who were fortunate sons and Daughters who made it thru. Keep on rockin in the free world. It's the music we cherish so kick out the jams. Peace
Since I'm in Europe, I won't have a tracking number, so the mystery is if it will arrive at all (have had things get lost on the way from 10C before) :-) I've worked out that there's about a 30% chance I will get something I want from the 12"es, which is not too bad (mainly 10, yield, RVM, LD, Avocado & PJ20)... Last mystery poster sale I ended up with a dud though, so I guess you never really know. But in any case it's been fun so far!
Its a shame that we dont have a tracking number for Europe aswell. 10c stuff in the past took about 1 month to get to portugal and i hope this time the boxset doesnt stop at custums.
here is my wishlist for LP : Pearl Jam , Yield , Lost Dogs , Riot Act , Into The Wild OST , Ukelele Songs , PJ20 , Rearview Mirror LP , Benaroya Hall Boxset
lets hope i get at least one of these (would love for Avocato more than Benaroya)
I live in MA and just checked my order status. I am also showing 2.2 lbs. and current location is "UPS MI". This is fun!

Wait... isn't calling me Mr. Happy an attempt at sarcasm?
BTW. Congrats to everybody who scored the mystery vinyl. My point was that we seem to have MANY threads already regarding this topic - both positive and negative.

Morning! I hope no package gets lost and it is a pity that intl' doesn't have tracking. And that yoou guys have to wait so long. I will undust the good old packagemapping.com once the package is on it's way. As for now, I imagine it sitting on a pallet in the warehouse...
Please, Pearl Jam, consider a Benaroya Hall vinyl reissue!
I'll be eager to read the thread when everyone's vinyl starts arriving and see what people get! Good luck to all! (I decided not to even try, as I have so much stuff already-need to start getting rid of some stuff)
I don't know what to expect. Maybe things I already have.
Best thing would be one of these: the Benny Boxset, Lost Dogs, Avocado, Yield or Rearviewmirror (already have the other ones or not interested in side projects).
As for the 10" or 7": The Sevens Boxset, I'd do with a blue or an orange Fixer too (have most of the other ones and still not interested in side projects).
cant wait for this to arrive and it could be 2-3 weeks for us international folk, so it will be great to monitor this in the meantime and see what is landing in the states first......
I have my tracking number, and it's 2.2 pounds as well. If this is anything like the shipping for Vault 4, I can't wait until it's shipped in 2-3 weeks!
Oh come on. Nobody? We got the tracking numbers now. And theshipping weight. It would be interesting (and maybe discouragin) to know if there are any packages that weigh a different weight than 2.200 lbs, for example. Or let's fantasize about what we might get. Do you plan on filming it when you open the package? Are you waiting for your better half? Will you spin your vinyl? What are you hoping for? Questions, questions, questions!
Mine also weighs 2.2.
I wonder how they'll do that...obviously, a Benny weighs more than a single LP. Would people realize they get a Benny with a big box, or are all boxes the same size?
Presidential Advice from President-Elect Mike McCready: "Are you getting something out of this all encompassing trip?"
The whole weight thing drives me nuts, so I tried to find more info on the internet. I have only found this. And here somebody says: "If the person you bought the computer from is a volume shipper with UPS then they will give him a bulk rate discount and charge an average weight per package for his business. For instance, if he sells 1 lb. batteries, 5 lbs. laptops and 15 lbs computers all day long then the average is 7 lbs."

It will be very interesting to see what the U.S. folk get while we wait for the international shipments to arrive. Quite a few of the LPs were listed as "5-10" copies (Benny, Lost Dogs, Riot Act etc) so I guess if they all show up early on we can cross them off the list before we get ours...
Just out of interest Paul, is there anything in particular you're hoping to get? Your collection is crazy impressive as it is, what would improve it from this sale?

How big is your package?
We're gonna have package-size comparing contests!!
As long as I don't get something I already have...and if I have a duplicate, oh well. I already have two of the "No Jeremy" singles!!

One int'l friend says they saw a heavier weight when they ordered. But who knows, who knows...
