    Congrats. You got 2 lb copies before is international people even get our first.

    Hey!

    I waited forever for the original like everyone else.

    It's nice the replacement didn't take forever also.

    Not to mention I played the around the country tour waiting on the vault vinyl, while all the international people got theirs right away.

    I don't complain, but can't stand when someone acts like I'm better than them. We are all in the same boat here!

    Sorry if my post came off wrong. Wasn't directed at anyone in particular especially members. It is just frustrating that Canadians and other international members still haven't received one single copy but people are already receiving replacements.

    Also, the replacement was sent by UMG, not 10C. I'd only be pissed if the 10C sent out the replacements before your order.

    Here is my issue…. I contacted them, and my replacement is on it's way as well BUT my packaging was all messed up too..huge split in the top seam, so I hope I'm getting a whole new record with fresh packaging, and not just the LP like these pictures show. I fully understand it if that was the only problem, but that wasn't the case with me.

    i imagine you'll get the whole package. i asked for a sleeve and the record.. my exterior gatefold packaging was great, but the custom sleeve was torn. not sure if ill get a new full package, or just the parts i need.

    I sent the e-mail on Friday stating that I would need a replacement lp, inner sleeve and jacket, and just got this response.

    "We have received your E-Mail and apologize for the inconvenience. A replacement vinyl will be sent to you early next week.
    Universal is only replacing the LP not the cover. If you need a new cover please contact 10 club.

    Thank you for your patience.

    No problem. Hope I didn't seem angry, I just felt it was personal. Thanks for clarifying.

    And I agree it sucks you haven't gotten your copy yet. That's a huge fail on the 10c part, seeing as they had ample time to get the orders prepared.

    I also only had an issue with the vinyl, not the packaging.

    My gfs copy had damage to the artwork and they asked her for proof of damage and said it would be 4-6 weeks for a replacement. So I am guessing its only the damaged vinyls getting replaced at this point.
  • Sweet, hope mine is at home waiting for me. My cover was also screwed up so I guess I'll have to contact tenc, however they haven't responded to any of my emails about my damaged vault 3lp...
    it's largely due to eddie that i liked to jump off of things as a child...

    Sent my email on the 23rd of october. got a reply 2 days later, and I Recieved my replacement today.


    Arrived in a corrogated outer record mailer, inside was a black cardboard outer sleeve, with a plastic lined white paper sleeve inside.

    vinyl is flawless, and flat (not warped).

    great customer service on both companies' parts. 10 club and Umusic.

    Thanks to whomever made this as easy as it was considering the shitty situation.

    No, I forgot it on my desk last night when I left work. Will try very hard to remember to take it home tonight.

    Did you receive a notification the request was received/sent tracking?
    Nope. I emailed the e-mail address and I got a reply asking for my shipping address. I gave that and that was all I had heard. Wasn't asked for proof of purchase or anything. The replacement just arrived yesterday. I only received a replacement vinyl as that was all that I had an issue with. It is in a generic sleeve.

    my replacement skips during my father's son :fp: :fp: :fp:
  • I received my replacement today as well. I e-mailed about a replacement the first day they said to, and this monday I got an e-mail saying it would ship out soon, and it arrived UPS today. Haven't spun it yet. I'll wait until the weekend when I can sit down and really enjoy it.

    It was a pretty painless replacement process, and really fast considering the amount of people they have to deal with. Thanks to everyone involved with the process!
  • So has anyone who's got a pristine replacement also heard a good first pressing? Are the replacements just hands down better all over than even the best first pressings in terms of sound/volume/intrument levels etc?

    Am awaiting delivery of my 10C vinyl, hoping I get a good pressing but guessing if I do I'll always be wondering if it could have actually been better...

    It wasn't as much about the pressing as it was the glue across the first half. And the waves in the vinyl. So maybe part in the pressing and part in a sloppy factory.

    That said my replacement sounds AMAZING! :mrgreen:
