    Still not shipped. Honestly didn't think they pressed that many of these. Wouldnt be surprised if they had to get more pressed due to all these issues I'm reading about.

    I wouldn't be surprised if theres just one person boxing and mailing these. Everyday he's got some new IG story posts of people getting them, so they're going out.

    Small shop, it's been mentioned before, so I would guess 1-2 people.

    I still haven't received notifications about my signed silver viper room or the japan vinyl.  hopefully soon.  

    We complain sometimes about the PJ vaults, but it's making the 10c look like all stars :)

    Yeah but charging $80 and $50 s&h in my case. They should be paying a proper fulfilment company to handle the shipping just like 10c did with the fanclub singles... well maybe not but must be some better way to do this than 1 person packing and shipping all of these over 3-4 months.

    Received shipping notification for my 2x Japan records.
    A little concerned that the tracking shows delivered to Australia last June. I'm sure it will get here.

    Does this mean you will have a spare copy that you may be willing to offload??

    I got mine too... usually I can take the USPS tracking # and plug it into the Canada Post site to see to follow the tracking once it crosses the border, but when I did that it showed tracking for someone elses package last year.   Wondering if USPS is recycling tracking numbers.

    I'm in the UK so if you are not then it's a lot of hassle for both parties. I ordered 2 because shipping prices was the same for 2 or not much more. I'm probably going to be hit with import tax though so no idea how much these are actually going to cost at the moment.

    I got my live in Japan today.  I'm fairly disappointed.  The first record has a fair number of issues.  Side A has a number of skuff marks and scratches. Side B looks like it has a manufacturing defect.  There's little bump on the vinyl.  Not sure how to describe it.  It looks like a micro mountain.  Maybe 1mm in diameter that sticks out above the surface on the needle.  Sort of afraid to spin that side because it could fuck with the needle.

    On top of that the packing was pretty lackluster and they shipped the records outside the sleeve, but that meant the sleeve had no support so one corner got massively munched.

    Emailed madam zuzu's to see if they could send a replacement but I'm not hopeful.

    Well apparently they are opening a claim for my Japan vinyl since according to the tracking it was sent to Australia in June 21. 

    Sounds like they dont expect it to arrive although it sounds very much like recycling of tracking numbers in which case I would just expect it to turn up one day.

    Mine did turn up in spit of the reused tracking number.

    Good news is they are mailing me a replacement copy.  At first they wanted me to send the original back, but once they realized they couldn't print me a shipping label because I'm international, they said they'd mail me a new one.

    I'm happy with that resolution.  At least they've got spares for when shit goes sideways :)
