    It was packed like complete shit, I could hear it sliding around inside the box.

    I went through the records, 4 of them are not even coloured. They're clear with little splatters of blue. It's like they were out of blue for the plates and said fuck it. Same thing with the orange, red and green.

    Not terribly impressed, but they sound great, so far.

    My box was not damaged but some of the vinyl are not a solid color. Bit of splatter look.
    A couple are solid.

    I asked them to send me a new box, an empty one. We'll see.

    Geez. Sound like some real shipping horror stories.

    Luckily, my old man took it upon himself to open my mail and check it out. He said it looks real nice and he knows his records so I'm staying hopeful that mine arrived I good condition. I didn't tell him about the possibility of tests presses. I'm keeping that a surprise for when I get it up here in two weeks time.

    I was really worried too. My records were fine though.

    You have something cool if they are all kind of clear. You may like that in the long run.

    If they sound fine I wouldn't worry much either. This is a great set for the price!

    Yeah I did think of that when I was bitching to my wife. Like my copy of Fashion Nugget is Yellow, I don't have a blue record, I have a clear with a little blue splatter.

    In the end as long as they sound fine.

    I do want a new box though, it wasn't a small amount of damage.

    "Ok, this has been figured out. It is not great news. 
    There was a small malfunction in the shipping system (affected less than 10 orders-but 1 was yours) where a shipping label showed as printed, which triggers the email you got.  However, it didnt print, and therefore was NOT ever shipped.
    As of now, you have 2 choices, we can hold your order and ship you one when the 2nd round is ready
    or
    we can refund your money.
    Plz advise.

    All apologies, we are looking into the technical side of how this happened, so it doesn't reoccur."

    You should all be happy yours wasn't one of the ten orders that said were shipped and actually weren't. I am still not sure how a missing shipping label makes an entire package disappear, but whatever. Please know I am saying this in jest although I am a little bitter. I imagine some jackoff from the warehouse made himself a couple hundred bucks of mine and probably a couple others.

    Hopefully they honor your order and do the right thing...

    Well they said they can't honor it because they have no more, they can just send me a second pressing whenever they are made. I just requested a refund and it was given. The big appeal for me was that some of these lps were first pressings. I can grab the stuff I don't have down the road when all the hype dies down. 135 bucks is a good chunk of change I can use in the meantime. I wouldn't be nearly as pissed if they didn't reassure me for a week that it had shipped and kind of treated me like a paranoid asshole when I questioned it. At the end of the day, the things you own end up owning you. A small speed bump in life.

    Yeah you're right. Makes my complaints seem petty. Sorry that happened to your order, that's BS.

    From the way mine was packed I could tell they were a little bush league. I ordered this boxset at Xmas from Alexisonfire, shipping was the same, but the set came in this bumper system where the set floated within these bumpers. Made it impossible for it to move. That was professionally done.

    anyone looking for this? For cost + shipping, plus shipping? I have an extra sealed that I bought in a panic.

    Would also trade for a very good/solid/complete vinyl of Yield

    No thank you. None of that stuff really interests me (other than what I already own). Good luck though
