    Arg! This system is the fucking worst shit ever! I could have walked to Seattle from Texas and picked the shit up myself in the time that it has taken these fuckers to send my records to the other side of town. This is such fucking bullshit!!!

    Auburn, WA, United States 09/07/2016 6:13 A.M. Package transferred to destination UPS Mail Innovations facility
    Auburn, WA, United States 09/06/2016 10:37 P.M. Package processed by UPS Mail Innovations origin facility
    09/06/2016 6:50 P.M. Package received for processing by UPS Mail Innovations
    Seattle, WA, United States 09/06/2016 6:48 P.M. Shipment tendered to UPS Mail Innovations
    United States 09/01/2016 7:11 P.M. Shipment information received by UPS Mail Innovations

    I'm not sure which is worse, this or the bootleg CD ordering from Nugs. I ordered my Telluride CD through 10C coming up on a month ago and I finally received an email from them all excited to tell me that my shit is finally ready to ship. Thanks dudes, way to get right on that. Then again, this is the norm with them.

    ^ I think our orders are on the back of the same sloth. A f'n horse would have made it here already.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    I ordered the records and singles and each has its own tracking number?

    Yup. They all post out in individual shipments because, well, it is far more environmental and speedy that way, right? :angry:

    If I wasn't listening to the JAX 2016 boot right now (which is about a perfect setlist from the LB era, EWBTCIAST opener with RIVAL LAST EXIT Army Reserve ) I'd be listening to the 320kbs mp3 of NO CODE right now.

    choices, right?

    My No Code arrived today, but unlike my Yield, every corner is bashed in. After removing the mailer from the packing envelope, it looks like it used as a frisbee in one of the warehouses along the way. At least the vinyl plays well. I don't have the time or energy right now to deal with 10C on this on trying to get a replacement sleeve.

    Exactly the same for me in Chicago. Meanwhile, Reckless has had them both in stock for a week.

    I would love to hear from 10C and Pearl Jam about how their shipping methods are actually environmentally IRRESPONSIBLE. If the band is so concerned about the environment and being carbon neutral and all that, you'd think they would care that 7" singles and apparently most other orders leaving their fan club warehouse are being shipped individually to one buyer. I can't imagine any shipping system being more energy INefficient, not to mention all the extra packaging this requires. And all this for way more than the usual prices. Plus no tracking for international orders for prices that should include it. Holy crap, I'm almost starting to think that the Better Business Bureau should be contacted about it.

    Just got my text update, No Code has been delivered. Glad my apartment building has indoor halls, it's a killer out there today!! Would surely be warped if it sat in the sun all afternoon.

    I think that might be a little drastic.

    Why? A business is seriously misrepresenting their services, as well as ripping people off. That's what BBB is there for. (I did say "almost"... I'm not quite there yet... but I think at least Mail Innovations is a good candidate for such a report)

    As much as I hate mail innovations for taking for-fucking-ever I have to imagine that the UPS truck dropping shipments at a USPS warehouse that's gonna go hit everyone's house already is more efficient than having multiple UPS trucks hitting all those houses separately. Also my 7" shipped with an LP, but the cardboard packaging (likely made from recycled materials) is recyclable as well. The extra costs are probably for handling since two different entities, UPS and USPS, each need to sort the packages in their own facilities. But this is all purely speculation...

    I just split the plastic and NO CODE is on the Pioneer turntable ready to go to a SONY METAL 100 tape.
    Sorry, I know home recording is decimating the record industry...my bad.
