Just picked up my vault, the box was fine but the vinyl we’re sticking out a bit and the second disk has some chipping. Shouldn’t affect sound, I’ll find out in tomorrow when I have time to spin them. Still, not good.
Man, sorry to see that! Hoping it plays fine! Disc three of my set has a visible & audible scratch through the first track. My packaging arrived in perfect condition, go figure. This really blows that we can't get replacements!!!!
I had one inaudible scratch on Side B on Habit. Same thing, perfect condition otherwise.
@mcgruff10 yours went from Bridgeport to Howell. Mine went from Bridgeport, to Jersey City “pending acceptance”. I’m never going to see this thing. That Jersey city tour likely added a week plus some dings to the record.
Really sorry to hear about everyone’s poor experiences with the packaging/ handling of the vaults. And no replacements? Insane. That can’t be possible. Like someone said, I can see them popping up on 10C auctions on eBay like they always do.
I guess I got lucky. I came home yesterday to it storming outside, and the package was soaked at the door. Somehow the box/packaging saved the contents inside. I thought for sure it would be ruined.
My baby girl and I are spinning them now. We’re about half way through, and it sounds fantastic! It’s pretty cool hearing your favorite album live on wax.

Showed up today in NYC. The packaging was really good on mine. The cover looks pristine. It was a little warm when the mail carrier handed it to me so I put one of the records on my turntable. I didn’t see any warping. I hope the rest are ok. I will listen later.

Looks like the binding on yours opens from the front. Every EU/UK copy Ive seen was a bit back to front and opens from the back.

Yes. Mine opens the same way you would open a book.
I live in the PNW, so I'm hoping they are shipping the press plates with it too so I can repress the melted ball of vinyl back into the record when it gets here in this triple digit madness..

I got lucky this time. Usually my 10C shipments spend about 4-5 days days in Bridgeport NJ only to come back to Capitol Heights MD and spend another week there. But Vault #10 arrived from Seattle in less than a week! Had a corner ding but I really don't care about that. It's bound to get dinged anyway at some point in my life. Show sounds fantastic! One of the better sounding PJ pressings in my collection, I'd venture to say.
Yep. Waiting for acceptance in Dallas tx. Leave Friday for a week and a half. Should sit in my mailbox in Texas for at least a week at prob 90+ degrees. Sealed? More like laminated when I get to it!
Yup it’s in purgatory. Should be a balmy 100 degrees in Jersey city today. Glad my zip code starts with zero and I’ll get it quick.
Looks like I bought an expensive vinyl ashtray
I got mine in NYC yesterday. It didn't have to sit outside for any length of time, but when the mail carrier rang my buzzer and handed it to me it felt really warm. However, I played all four albums yesterday and they were fine. No warping. I held it in front of the AC for a few minutes before I opened the box. I don't know if that made any difference.

Put a hold on your mail then go get it at the post office when you get back.

Not a bad idea. I’m thinking I’ll just have the people feeding our pets check the mailbox too- and leave them the key. It may sit for a day or so, but at some point they’ll get it

No shit.
I think i heard somewhere to leave in package to cool down once you get it. In case it's super hot.
