Got mine today in Vancouver (via Canada Post). Tracking still says that it's on its way to the destination country, so yeah, the international tracking is apparently totally useless. I hope this switch to FedEx isn't permanent. Anyway, looking forward to getting it home!
BTW, I was surprised to see it's in two separate boxes that are held together with two thin rubber bands. They really trust those rubber bands! Both boxes are labelled, but I wouldn't be surprised if a few people got them delivered separately because the rubber bands broke during transit.

2 separate boxes? That's weird unless you ordered 2!

Whoops. No, I didn't order two, but I just got home and discovered that they sent me two anyway! I figured the book must be in the second box or something! Sooooooo.... score! I assume you just keep the second item when mistakes like this happen, right?? I mean as opposed to contacting them? I'm not about to pay shipping to return it to them. (I will sit on this for a while - I am sure I can find something good to do with the freebie ).

Maybe a secret admirer bought you one too.
Congrats tho, dude. Hahahha

Soul ain't no dude you two.

Lol, thanks 2-feign! Although at least Dr. D for sure knows I am female. He just calls me dude. Which is nice, because I call women dudes all the time to their faces and I am glad I'm not the only one.

As for the secret admirer theory....... I seriously doubt that! Maybe there was just a glitch in the TMR system, or someone doing the shipping fucked it up somehow. Shit happens.

I know she's a she I call chicks dude too!

Hello, i'm from the netherlands and i also receive 2 packages and ordered only one. I had a thirdmanrecords vault membership previously but cancelled it 2 years ago.
Got the same with the tracking of one of the packages "in transit in destination country" but i already received both.
Only got 1 email from thirdman with the tracking information, i took the other tracking code from the package to trace it.
Very strange...............

Did everyone who received their copy receive an email as well that it was shipped? I haven't received either as of yet...starting to worry a bit.

Received an email that it was shipped by FedEx that included a tracking number. Both tracking numbers don't work for me. One already received and it was shipped by Canada Post.

The weird thing about my custom form is IF the package was undeliverable, it would return to Maimo, Sweden. Not to Nashville, TN.

Interesting (there goes the secret admirer theory ). I have also had a TMR subscription in the past but hadn't gone for the Vault for at least the last two offerings.

This is what I got from TMR after reaching out to them.

Thank you for your message, I apologize for the delay in receiving your Vault shipment. All international packages are shipped using FedEx International Mailservice (FIMS), wherein packages are all sent to a central international distribution center in Sweden, dispatched to their respective countries, and handed off to that country's mail service for customs clearance and delivery.

Thanks! They sure did a wonderful job getting it fast to Canada, and getting it here without any customs charges. TMR rocks!!!

Arrived to Helsinki, Finland today.
Now, this is what i call a great package. Beautiful.

Now next we continue waiting, waiting since 1993!

So it's a nice package for the music on it.... But unlike most of the people posting here, I don't find it particularly beautiful or impressive. The book is very nicely made but lacks any decent content and basically ignores the whole band besides Eddie, which I find strange. The pin isn't very cool IMO. Looks like a button from a pair of Levis. The album jacket is fine but nothing spectacular. I do like that soft-touch material, but other than that, it's just a standard jacket. I have received MUCH nicer packages from TMR. For me this is average at best as far as presentation goes. I'm not complaining mind you. I'm still really happy to have the actual show on vinyl and the price was pretty good. It's just that I found that it's been over-hyped on these boards as far as how wonderful the physical package overall goes. Nothing special as far as I'm concerned, in TMR Vault terms.
