Scuff marks on the album sleeves in the vinyl box??

shelf wear from sitting on the shelf in 10c’s warehouse? Totally lame!

My Riot Act, Binaural and Self Titled all had ring wear and best of all at least one record in each album was warped.  Kind of crazy.  

Yea, I wish these had been packaged in loose bags. The tight shrink in addition to the large thick books are a perfect recipe for warping and ring wear.

My Vs. was super creased and indented along the spine. Never thought to ask for replacement, guess I should. 

Didn't get the complete box set, but got Ten, Binaural, Riot Act, and Avocado - all had some minor warping and the center holes were very tight going onto my turntable. Also, corner of Avocado jacket was bent. Was the only one, so obviously happened prior to packing, as the box they arrived in was fine. Sent this picture to 10C and they said they'll replace it contingent on me sending them pictures of it showing I cut it up/destroyed it. Kind of lame that I have to have two loose records while waiting for the replacement. Does an empty, bent up LP jacket have some sort of resale value?!

If you look at my pictures above, would you accept that kind of damage on new albums?

I wouldn't love it, but I would just live with it, especially since I have no intention of selling my records. If someone is buying with the intent of maintaining resale value, that's another story. I'm not saying you should accept it - I'm just saying that I would. That said, it's still not actually acceptable that 10C is sending out merchandise in this condition (I'm also not really surprised - they have so many issue with quality control on their albums, one way or another).
I would be less willing to accept the kind of damage drummerboy73 posted though. That's too much. That kind of compromises the integrity of the jacket's purpose.

my copy of Self Titled was scratched to hell.

and the liner notes looked like Santos ran out of toilet paper and wiped his ass with them.

Well that is definitely not acceptable!

Well, the other two were in excellent condition.

I don't see any reason for you to talk shit - literally - about Santos L. Halper.
Get a grip, folks.
If you received defective merchandise simply contact Ten Club and tell them about it.

dude. it was a joke.... I love Santos.

since we don't know what goes on in the 10club warehouse I come up with these crazy thoughts.

Santos does his best with limited help. I have even joked with him in PMs.

I don't want anyone to think that I was pissed at him.

all the defects were in the manufacturing process.

just trying to bring back some humour and fun that has been missing on these boards since about 2015.

I applaud any and all poop, fart and dick jokes.

see this guy knows me ^

and Santos probably would prefer the pennants to the liner notes anyway.
