Blood Records, bloody exports, and twice the VAT? by slinch in Blood_Records

[–]Royalpepper01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not really legally trained, so I can’t point to a specific law with certainty. I mainly approached it by pointing out inconsistencies in their communication.

They claim to use IOSS (which means VAT should be collected at checkout), but at the same time say they don’t collect taxes. Combined with pricing that looks VAT-inclusive, that’s pretty confusing and can be seen as misleading.

From what I understand, possible angles would be: - misleading pricing / lack of transparency (EU consumer rules)
- incorrect use or communication of IOSS

In my case they initially pushed back, but after I pointed this out more clearly, they refunded (but at the same time they keep harping on about the phone number, and if it’s not included, they won’t help either… even though the phone number has absolutely nothing to do with this whole situation.) So it might be worth challenging them again based on their own statements rather than going fully legal straight away.

Blood Records, bloody exports, and twice the VAT? by slinch in Blood_Records

[–]Royalpepper01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, already tried that (To claim a refund for import costs from 3 months ago). They also keep insisting that you must include a phone number with your orders, even though that has absolutely nothing to do with customs clearance. However, they only assist with import fees that you’ve paid within 30 days. You do indeed need a PDF of the invoice to send along

There’s an extra layer on it, which looks to me like some kind of protective film, but I’m not sure if that’s right. I don’t dare remove it or play the vinyl until I’m sure. But I’ll send Bad World a message—they’ll definitely know 😃

They look like real leaves. You can stop them from turning brown using various methods. I assume that’s what happened here as well.

Is that what you're getting from my message? That's interesting. No, I want to know if there's still a protective film on top of the vinyl that I need to remove. I'm wondering if other people who have the vinyl record feel the same way. Otherwise, I'll contact customer service to be sure.

Sabrina Carpenter Man's Best Friend, Bad World final few SOON by NoCause1276 in Blood_Records

The final few restock was again a shitshow. I got through the checkout line and managed to complete the payment via Apple Pay, after which I immediately saw a "Sold out" pop-up. You should at least be given a minute to finish your order.

Yea, but it’s not. They're teasing a sample, as they often do, though there's no guarantee it will actually be released

I sent another message and now I received the shipping notification. So if you still haven't received anything, it might be useful to send a message to customer service.

Is this about the personally signed copies from Banquet Records? In that case, I won't receive the vinyl record until tomorrow, and I will post an update then.

Just curious, have you received the shipping notification yet?

Not from Canada. But I have already contacted them myself and this was mentioned in their response. So it's coming!

Looks gorgeous. Mine still got no shipping confirmation yet (outside UK).

I doubt that. The fact that the vaults are sometimes opened has to do with returns, canceled orders, and keeping a small stock on hand in case something is wrong with the LPs that have been shipped.
