No Code / Yield Reissues, Why Don't We Have Them Already?

Did any of you, like myself, immediately order from the PJ Store the No Code and Yield vinyl reissues when they were announced last May? Have any of you received them yet? I was hoping we would receive them on or a day before the release date of 9/2. Instead, I've only been informed that they are processing for shipment, so, not even shipped yet. Arriving 5-8 days after that. With a holiday weekend in the middle. But I can go to my local record store and purchase them today. Is there something special/different about the copies coming from pearljam.com? The waiting is driving me mad.... Seems like we should have had them already if the stores do.

    Getting them on release day should have been expected. I won't have mine for another week.
    This show, another show, a show here and a show there.

    You need to familiarize yourself with a little service called Mail Innovations.

    This is why I dont order from 10c unless it's an exclusive. I don't mind the expensive postage etc if it arrives on time.

    Yep. I've learned to expect it/deal with it. I pretty much only order from 10c because I have been rewarded with some awesome variants and colored pressings in the past and am willing to accept that I'll probably wait a week longer than everyone else but there's a slight chance it will be something special too. Worth taking a chance and waiting to me.
    I'm like an opening band for your mom.

    I'm actually more upset with myself for ordering these. I knew full well that these weren't exclusive and what waiting for something from mail innovations is like, BUT I still ordered through 10c. The real rub was stopping by my main local record shop today and being asked why I did pick up the PJ releases. I just shook my head.

    Ditto...

    I ordered from Amazon on Wednesday and got them this afternoon (48 hour turn around).

    Very disappointed as well. The earliest I'll get Yield is Tuesday. Lucky to have No Code by the end of next week. I don't even want to venture to the record store at this point. Last time I ordered from 10C was Avocado and I got that 3 days early. Giddy up pony express!
    It's a hopeless situation...

    Both reissues are in my local HMV here in UK, plus my local indie has them and all the singles - feel like a chump for ordering from 10c when could have got them 5 mins from my home.

    Then again guys, you have to ask yourself what's the rush? They'll be here very soon, and whilst they will be cool, the music will be recognizable ;)

    Nicely put. For me there's no rush having them. I prefer to order straight from the club to get straight from source :-)

    Looking at it the other way tho, it's awesome seeing PJ records for sale in local record shops again.

    Even though I haven't received my LPs yet, I actually enjoyed seeing both No Code and Yield front and center in my local record store.
    Mine are coming.

    I picked both of them up from my local shop on Thursday. Probably a month earlier than if I ordered through 10C since their Canadian shipping prices and time are outrageous.

    Is it odd that I received yield but not no code?
    I thought they were shipping together.

    I don't have any gripes against MI, It is what it is. Clearly the 10c sees a big benefit in using them on their end (because they always get complaints from fans whenever something in demand is shipping), but I do wish 10c offered a faster option even if it is $10-15 more.

    That being said, I don't mind waiting for these, its not like its something Ive never heard before. But I'd pay a bit more to get the Vaults a touch quicker. Or a future new album.

    Ive waited years. I can wait another five days lol. We all know these songs anyway and we all know that 10c is not a huge organization. Shipping out thousands of LPs is not going to be a fast process.

    Now if my Vault 6 is late then there's going to be hell to pay :lol: jk
