this turned into a racket as they just want us to buy a 2nd copy. 14 hours and 46 minutes until album release and the thing still ain't shipped.

We really should all get like a $20 coupon attached to our account for this debacle. 

Disorganization and/or incompetence are always much more likely explanations than conspiracy. It is also possible that the shipments were delayed because of things out of the Ten Club's control, whether it be distributor delays or shipper issues. It's not a racket.

if its something out of their control why haven't they said so ??? no email no posts explaining this  just crickets from mgmt.  and isn't it the purpose of any business ( racket )to generate more sales 

Every business is not a racket. A racket is an illegal scheme (as used in "racketeering"). When have you known the Ten Club to be proactive with explanations?

We have got to get to a point in this country where, when things happen that we don't like, we stop defaulting to conspiracy theories to explain them. There are almost always more simple explanations.

Come on, we all know that this was caused by T Swift, who is a shadow govt Psy Op and just so happened to release her album on the same day so that UPS would be delayed because Biden needed more time to cover up the truth about Dark Matter and the eclipse.

Finally, someone is making sense.

Never attribute to malice what can be adequately explained by stupidity

I think my version of this was "disorganization and/or incompetence are more likely explanations than conspiracy."

My dad just received cd from Amazon 

JT167846

Finally updated to say on the way-was picked up in California. Hope it's going to have some unique feature about the packaging as I can pick a copy up myself in an hour being in NZ. Damn 10C sending it on release day in NZ is no good.

Just received shipping label on the CD from 10Club.

Yeah, Ten Club! Be more like the massive multi-national corporation that specializes in expedited shipping! Why is this so hard for a band fan club to manage?? Where are the Ten Club delivery vans? Ten Club regional warehouses? Slackers!

I suppose it would be super fucking hard for them to just email us digital downloads if you pre-ordered.  Every other band on the fucking planet gives you free digital downloads for buying vinyl. I mean jesus fuck if you buy a vinyl on amazon at all they give you free digital access through amazon music lol.

My Deluxe CD shows it was delivered today in Seattle. It showed it being transferred to USPS this morning so I thought it might not make it til tomorrow, but I just received notification it was delivered an hour or so ago. 

Vinyl still hasn't shipped.

no one is saying this. they're saying two months notice should be enough to get something here on release day.

Preorder the digital and then buy local on release day, if you at all can.

anywho work around for those who are shafted by 10c on this:  set your VPN to Australia, go to tidal.com - sign up for a free trial and listen away. - cancel free trial when it goes live in USA.

I plan on streaming the album tomorrow….on release day….and then picking up the vinyl on RSD. The fancy color variant will sound no different and the artwork will be similar. The whole preorder of an album that will be available to stream or wisely available to go buy at a store is such an outdated process.  Do people not have anywhere to stream music from?  Is vinyl your only way of hearing music?

Some of us are talking about CDs. Some of us order directly from the band to ensure that the band gets a greater share of the money. And, yes, some of us do not stream. For me, streaming means sitting at my computer playing YouTube videos. I want to put the CD on my stereo and blast it in SurroundSound in my living room, and play it in my car's CD player with virtual SurroundSound and where no one can complain about how loud I have it.

I'm pretty sure you will receive a digital download of the entire album tonight.
