they sent back an email basically saying overall that it was "out of their control" :toofunny3: - "it appears that the issue you encountered was due to factors beyond our control and was related to the carrier's handling of your order". I'm sure it was partially related to UPS' handling yet, obviously if its sent in a literal piece of plastic with thin ass sheets of bubble wrap in it, it's going to come damaged either way. I let them know this in my response, if it's not their company shipping/handling it, it's whoever decided on the packaging to be bubble mailers' fault. If it is them doing the S/H, clearly it is not beyond their control to send the vinyl in better packaging. It shouldn't be beyond their control period, they can get whoever is doing the S/H to package it better, especially for THAT price. Why am I having to explain in my response email how shipping vinyl works to them and that obviously I'm sure my package got crushed in transit to me, because that's how packages get sent out, hence why record mailers exist to prevent this- mind you I live only two states away from where it was shipped from and it still came like this. They also didn't let me know if I'm even going to get a replacement yet, just that they're "investigating"..

 

tl;dr: her team seems to be ass which is extremely unfortunate for an artist of her music/image status. 

And no but I agree! There aren't any images online, and I missed out! one of my big ISO's... 

 

 

they shipped Jaguar (the first album) in regular vinyl mailers so her team is playing dumb for an extra $3 (the price of a standard vinyl mailer) :skull:  I hope this costs them more in the long run through people getting replacements/refunds/chargebacks because they have NO excuse especially when they're charging $13 for shipping on a $35 1LP vinyl....

My ink spill softscars from Juno arrived and it came really warped, I've never had a record this badly warped. Like it's not flat at all. Does anyone know if Juno sends replacement copies in such case?

Kim’s Problematique will be a record store day exclusive on Black Friday at Rough trade with 1 per person limit but I can’t make it. There are 3500 copies. Will they put them on the website to order later? Will I have to buy from a reseller for much more? How does it work with Record store day?

Any leftover stock from RSD can be sold online the next day, some retailers will wait until Monday. If you don't find any stock online you may be able to snag it on Discogs at retail or for a small markup, just keep an eye on it.

i wanted the colored loose so badly but with the shipping costing the same as the vinyl it'd have been almost €80 :dies: xmas is coming but my bf didn't look v cooperative :skull: 

also, i was just wondering which 1989 variant to choose, either the top or bottom left .. the top left has a light blue vinyl so i'll choose that one ig 

 

1989 Variants - which one is your fave? : r/TaylorSwiftVinyl
