Non-Essential Businesses Closing in some states: Will 10Club be able to ship Gigaton this week?

Santos,
     First off; Please stay safe and healthy.  Please advise on the current state of 10 Club's staying open or closing. I live in NJ where we are under a "Shelter in Place" rule and all non-essential businesses are temporarily closed. I am hoping to receive my Gigaton LP from 10 Club this Friday ; but would not be surprised if you guys can not be open at present.

Thanks,  Andrew

    Who knows.  Download it.  Listen to it.  Enjoy it.  Someday the vinyl will come and it will sound the same.

    If it doesn’t come, it’s because it couldn’t. Pay $10 to hear the album on itunes or google until then. I’m sure ten club will do what they can to get albums out.

    Give a free MP3 download to anyone who bought the vinyl/CD and let us have that

    Pearl Jam should put the Gigaton movie on Netflix 3/27 or on their website.I know it’s for the Atmos listening experience, but I don’t think too many will go see it in theaters after it drops.

    it’s the reason I won’t buy this album from the band for that price

    If the album magically arrives on 3/27, the $6 shipping fee was worth it.

    That works...  add download with vinyl or cd bundle purchases. Kinda should have been there already.  =)

    I'd rather they stay safe.  We can all listen to it via digital until it shows up in the mail.

    I'm pretty sure I heard the Governor declare the 10-club staff essential workers!

    I agree, but if they can get it out safely if would be a nice boost in moral (for me anyway) as something positive to look forward to. A nice glass of bourbon and new PJ on vinyl goes a long way for some of us. Either way, I’m looking forward to listening to it Friday. 😃

    Don't worry. Santos lives at the warehouse. He sleeps on stacks of Missing Link posters, and uses sewn together set list shirts as his blankets.

    Seriously, though, how hard would it be to provide an update about this to their paying customers?  If the CDs and/or LPs haven't gone out by now, there's no reasonable expectation they'll arrive by Friday.  Shouldn't consumers be advised of this?

    Apologies if there was a notice or update given elsewhere that I missed.
    I gather speed from you fucking with me.

    Did the ten club guarantee the albums would arrive on release day?

    Of course they wanted them to be in the hands of members on the release date. However, under the circumstances, I'm sure most will understand if there are delays..

    The Ten Club doesn't believe in communication. This is nothing new and whether there was a pandemic or not, they still don't care to communicate with their customers. If the orders haven't gone out the door by now, they most likely will not make it by release date but much like other situations, a simple line of communication would make a huge difference. They didn't guarantee that the new album would be in hands on or before March 27 but you'd still think they'd want to let customers know where things stand.

    I’m sorry. I have mine on order but if your life is so great right now your worried about a physical copy of an album getting into your hands in time maybe you should be helping your neighbors and community. The poor people who barely make shit for money as it is, sitting at home because their work has closed. It’s a fucking album. Not the cure for cancer or coronavirus. Spend your time productively and do some good. Write the fucking incompetent crooks in office who dropped the ball on all of this. Ten club has a history of poor communication. Oh well. Who gives a shit. Santos and the rest of the elves have real shit on their plate. Jesus fucking Christ. The album will get here. Who gives a fuck when. This is not directed at anyone. Just prioritize your life people. Rant over. 

    Ok. Not over. Before I read, but it’s a product we paid for and we deserve communication or some dumb shit like that. You know what. You don’t like their business practices then don’t shop there. Target and others will have physical copies. You don’t like the ten club don’t give them your money. Problem solved. I’ll donate my copies to the poor server who can’t pay rent because he’s outta work. Wanna be pissed. Look at the assholes in Washington who waited for the stick market to be infected before they did shit. 

    This is why I can barely read this shit anymore. The whining and entitlement is sickening. What we are facing now is life and death people. Not worth worrying about when an album will be at your door

    i hope all are safe and healthy. Stay strong.

    Dude chill out.  He's just asking a simple question about a Pearl Jam album 6 years in the making on a Pearl Jam forum.  It's ok to use things like music to distract you from what's going on in the real world.

    I agree, that post was, at a minimum tone deaf to the world or at least to geography ;) ....... but calm down.

    I didn't preorder the album because I didn't want to support the Ten Club anymore than my membership.

    As for writing the incompetent crooks, keep on dreaming. No nation would be able to stop this unless they had stopped all travel coming in to the country. For the United States, this is a state by state issue as every state has their own unique issues and infection rates. You want to blame the President? Go ahead but you should really give some thought about each state and how they are handling this. The Ten Club is in Washington state. The main outbreak in Washington state happened in a nursing home. Last year this same nursing home got into trouble for not properly handling a flu outbreak. It's no wonder this outbreak happened at this location. Washington state didn't do enough to punish this nursing home last year so they didn't take this outbreak seriously either. 35 people died at this location from Covid-19.

    As of right now, Washington State's Governor, Jay Inslee, has so far refused to make a shelter in place order. He has a televised conference scheduled for tonight which he might make this announcement. Meanwhile, other states have already made this happen. I believe Washington State has done a good job at handling this but I think the Governor should have shut down the whole state last week. Each state will have to figure out how to protect their residents.

    Either way, if the Governor does announce a shut down tonight, the Ten Club will fall under this order and nothing will ship unless they decide to operate illegally.
