I'm as guilty as anyone for sometimes wondering why communication isnt always better but when you consider the work involved in that pile alone perhaps its easy to see why......They only have so many pairs of hands.
I doubt there is any correlation between the two. I'd put money on the communication-flaws being a cultural thing. History point in that direction.
But why does amazon say shipping in December, has plans changed and changed again regarding when these badboys will be in stock? Or has tenclub received their stock earlier than other outlets?
I just see a ton of work in that one photo alone and they have a limited team of people. The customers want those orders handling carefully and packaged well so they arrive pristine.....It all eats the time. Its impressive in all honesty how they do this as a small outfit, and as a consequence of the hours put in here its easy to understand how getting thousands of emails asking where the fanclub singles are (despite having communicated already that its been outsourced and is to a point out of their control) result in one line emails back....and sometimes not even answered.
I dont think its a cultural thing, I think its purely a time sensitive thing and doing the best they can in the time they have. I mean something is generally released every month, in massive quantities. Anyone who has sold stuff on ebay knows what time is involved in getting that product into a package (certainly when involving boxes and bubblewrap), and labelling it up......
Anyway, back to waiting for the postie........
it does look like a ton of work. but does anyone have a clue how much staff ten club has?
This weekend we rock Portland

@Santos L. Halper random question: less pressure on yourself et al when several pallets worth of product land while the band isn’t in house as opposed to knowing they’re scheduled to rehearse that evening? Or they don’t care?
No pressure either way. The guys let us do our job, we let them do theirs.

Took a while. Wonder now if the ones sold @ Amazon will ship before December 30th.
