My Kylie™ singles came.....in a fkin BUBBLE MAILER. The corners are just slightly bent but I can manage but seriously - who TF thinks it's ok to mail 7" records and a cassette in something like that? 

My mine/me 7” literally came in a giant white card stock envelope. Not even a bubble mailer. It’s ******* ridiculous!

i personally would email whatever company it was that sold them to let them know that people will be upset about shipping vinyl in bubble packets instead of small cardboard boxes/sleeves.

Like, why are they charging $12 shipping when they use USPS media mail.

Yeah my lighthouse/I won’t give up 7” came today in the same envelope and I was shocked it was totally fine.

THIS!

I hadn’t spun my Halcyon Nights vinyl in a while and ****, it sounds so good. Ritual is a religious experience  

[Mellark]

I didn't order much but I pre-ordered Wallows and The Marias' new albums. My pet peeve is when artists don't sign the actual vinyl, and give us like an art card or whatever.

I used to work in a retail warehouse and we used to overcharge people so much on shipping prices. I would compare how much it actually cost us to their crazy high shipping fees and it was significant. 

 

And because I'm so petty, just for one day I purposely sent customers direct receipts so they could view how much the shipping was in hopes that they would complain to the company. Quite a few did and they had to issue partial refunds. I was doing God's work

Shakira's webstore is charging 45$ for 3 day shipping on 1 vinyl, maybe that spanish taxes really did hurt her

I got my Fallen box set in today and Amy signed the photo. So happy I decided to purchase it after months of being indecisive.

so i had subscribed to the IVC for the Billie record and it came damaged. I got in contact with them and they couldn't send a reshipment because it's sold out. I opted for a refund. I'm so upset.
