    I miss the day's when I would receive a new release / reissue etc.. day's before it hit store shelves from the fan clubs, even up here in Canada. It would of been great if our 10club orders arrived before our local record stores put them up for sale to the general public. Oh well. Those day's are long long gone.

    I agree but then I was also missing being able to walk into my local record store on release day and buy the new Pearl Jam LP, that now happens.

    Fingers crossed that when I eventually get nc & y that they're not pressed off center or screwed up in any way :(

    Still no movement on the tracking # they sent me on 9/1. Maybe the colored variants haven't arrived from the manufacturer yet?

    Sigh, in a week my Yield went from the Warehouse to Auburn WA.......now thats Innovation.
    No Code? Still processing at UPS
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    Same here. Lame. It will probably be another week before they arrive.

    My Yield arrived on Saturday and my No Code arrived yesterday. Best I can say about UPS Mail Innovations is that I guess it could have been worse? It really is an unimpressive way to ship merchandise.

    I guess my LPs are sitting in the warehouse collecting dust. No movement since 9/1 when Mail Innovations received shipping info. 10c + MI = match made in heaven. Efficiently inefficient.

    Yield was supposed to arrive today but no luck. It shipped 2 days before no code and it looks like they are sitting in a warehouse together at the moment

    what is the benefit of using this delivery method in pj's eyes? more economical? less of a carbon foot print?

    The carbon footprint argument has to be a completely bullshit claim. These things travel around way more than regular post. My guess is that it is economical for 10c, and instead of passing those savings on, they raising shipping rates, and end up with higher margins on "shipping and handling" than on the actual merch they're selling. It certainly isn't a benefit to the consumer.

    Just an update on mine, I received tracking numbers for both on 9/1 and have had no indication that they've even been picked up by UPS. I don't see any benefit in ordering music from the PJ site, unless it's exclusive. If they can get the vinyl to retailers on release day I think they sure as shit should have gotten them to us on release day. Is that expecting too much?

    Mine have been rocking the warehouse for quite a while. Supporting the band/10C can be painful. I was so close to choosing Amazon for $3 more, but thought "No... I'll give this a chance." I would have gladly paid them an additional $3 for a reliable delivery. Sigh.

    Tiki - I'min VA and mine took the EXACT same route, even the three minute detour back up to NJ. It's now sitting in Capitol Heights for whatever reason. My Yield arrived on Friday and No Code is still on tour. WTF is wrong with USPS media mail? I send blu rays through that all the time and it is dirt cheap and fast!

    My guess is economical..spirit airlines is also economically better but like tenclubs method of shipping, it is also a shit service. I have done online shipping/fulfillment for years and have never seen a worse service especially for the price we pay..

    Exactly. The benefits of UPS integrating with the USPS are more profit-motivated than environmentally-motivated. Through this partnership, UPS transferred a fair amount of their sorting and handling to the USPS, as well as saving on having to run their own fleet vehicles to rural and suburban locations where the USPS already has more consistent lanes of service on a daily basis. I would argue that those carbon emissions are debatable in that based on my observation, the UPS trucks are still running the same routes in the majority of their markets, and the routes I've seen some of the Mail Innovations packages traveling to get to their final destination are mind boggling. They may be filling empty space in the USPS routes, but I work in the logistics/supply chain industry, and the majority of the times I see UPS trucks, they are running very light, so all they've really done is transfer the "empty space" to other vehicles. Our company has corporate rates negotiated w/FedEx and that's primarily who we use for small parcel shipping. Our main factors are service and timeliness, and UPS/USPS Mail Innovations are sorely lacking in both of those areas.
