    Even worse than those white boxes. It might as well have been wrapped in paper!

    Well 2 pressings... looks like I need to find a EU pressing now. If anyone can help me out on how to get one... please let me know.
    It
     looks like it is still up in the EU store. Don't know what shipping will be like though.
    $75.06 CDN
    Postage & Packaging $59.11 CDN
    Total $134.17 CDN



     What the hell. Went for the EU pressing to compare. Shipping was kookoobananas and the total came out to around $93. Merry Xmas to me!

    Did they ship that in a standard record mailer??
    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.

    Yeah, the quality is not a good as even what Amazon would use for regular vinyl.

    That said, customer service has been great from Music Glue who are the intermediary seller in Europe. They've been very responsive and have said a replacement copy for my damaged vinyl is being dispatched.

    Packaging is terrible for such an expensive item & shipping. Pics below are of the package unopened. Record is visible on all corners with no real protection. Really poor.

    I think the mailer is the type used for standard 12inch vinyl so this does not allow for oversized sleeves like the Vaults hence all corners are exposed.

    Everyone needs to flood their customer service with complaints that this type of packaging is unacceptable for this type of product.

    This fan club just can't figure out the art of shipping, can they?  We get charged double the amount of what Priority Mail is in the States, then they use Mail Innovations which takes a week to 10 days to arrive.
    I shipped a god damn road bike across the country for $27 and it arrived in Arizona in 3 days from Maryland.  Here we get charged $15 for a vinyl and it takes half a fucking month to arrive.

    My favorite shipping blunder was a couple months ago.  I ordered the Ace Frehley solo album on vinyl.  Amazon literally just slapped a shipping sticker on the record unprotected and sent it express.  Was pleased when I got notice it arrived at home in less than 48 hours, then I saw how it was shipped and could do nothing but laugh as it was the worst ship job I've ever seen.  Needless to say I got a replacement.
