    @Santos L. Halper How about moving the "UK/EU" show to within the actual EU (e.g Germany) and also slip the new place a pamphlet on how to pack vinyl? Can we see this done before 2024?
    Or to the Czech Republic, where pretty much all the vinyl is coming from in Europe

    Could brew some Pearl Jam official beer there while they're at it!

    Mine the exact same as above, just slid out of the packaging without much encouragement. Pretty poor for a premium priced product.

    Strangely I’m in the U.K. and this time this arrived in absolutely perfect condition and I thought the packaging was really strong (the last one Vault 2 arrived damaged though)

    this is worst packaging I ever received from a professional seller. Well, from any seller, since even the biggest eBay-idiot doesn’t ship vinyl in a box which is open on both sides. DHL put a plastic bag around it and added a letter that the package arrived damaged from the seller. I think the bag avoided any real damage to the vinyl.

    it would be great if 10c could address this ridiculous behavior from their business partner and get a new European partner where I don’t have to pay 37 Eur for shipping in a OPEN box.

    Reminds me of some of the adventures I've had from Amazon, usually the box they send in is so stupidly oversized it's ridiculous, but twice, they didn't even put the record in a box, just slapped on the mailing labels on the front and shipped.  Once with the Ace Frehley solo album 5 years ago and then again about two years ago with Bad Religion No Control. Worst part with the second one is there wasn't even an option to replace it so I had to debate living with the dinged corners or not getting a copy at all as it was at that moment in time out of print.  

    Amazing.

    Least you got a box from Amazon. I had the new Tool album shipped in a freaking sleeve bag. They told me different Amazon distribution centres ship items differently. Come again? I told them to send me a new copy, shipped in vinyl box. The proper way. They shipped out a replacement which they said they won't ship it again in a Sobeys bag. They were mistaken. They shipped it in same Amazon sleeve bag. :/ I've heard horror stories where they would just stick a shipping label on the front, of the vinyl. From Amazon. Not a reseller etc.. From Amazon.

    Okay, Amazon might be a close second when it comes to shitty packaging. But we know they don’t care about vinyl. Pearl Jam does, 10c does. They should only have business partners who also care.

    Received on Friday here in PA and listened today. My vinyl had slipped up and were pressed into the shrink wrap upon arrival. LP4 had a visual mark on it, but happy to report that all LPs were in great shape. Really great pressing and great sounding vault, as most all have been. Sucks to see all the overseas issues, but hopefully everything still sounds good.

    WTF?

    I received an empty cardboard today with a printed letter from German postal service that the content got lost in international shipping. 

    I am mightily pissed!

    Really, here in Canada, I feel like they do overkill.  They usually come inside a fairly well designed vinyl shipping box, but then they take that vinyl shipping box, and put in a bunch of air ubbles, inside of a larger bigger box.  I feel like that's not great for the environment, and the mailer inside is good enough to send through the mail.

    There’s this awesome local record store in Atlanta called Ella Guru Records.  Staff (Shannon, Don) are always fair with prices, kind and generous.  Sometimes I’ll find myself just going through their $3 bin and will find some true gems……it’s one of those places that you’re really glad that exists in your neighborhood (read article below).

    Anyways, I got Vault 11 and it is absolutely beautiful.  On Saturday,  I took my copy over to the store (bought another one which is on way…for my collection.) and gave it to them and wrote a “thank you” card for being awesome to me and said that this copy was for the store.

    Shannon played the record and it is tremendously well done.  Amazing show.  Thank you Pearl Jam.  Really love the effort and love that was put into this!

    Hope they come back for the 30th anniversary!

    I used to go to that shop when it was in the Toco Hills shopping center! When my son was born, we got super busy and then it moved out. I assumed it had closed, but later saw they relocated. Is it the same owner?  I’ve since started going to Decatur CD. I’ll have to search it out and stop by.

    Yes, same owner.  Great group and staff.

    That was it, on these two I didn't get a box and they stuck the shipping label on the front of the vinyl.

    Mine has been showing ready for UPS since 6/30, with the note saying they would start shipping in the US 7/5. You have to love the timely shipping from the 10C.
