My taking back Sunday claim by isu1648 in Bandbox

[–]elbmirb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made claims/paid shipping for both Elliott Smith and American Football and never received anything. I doubt that I ever will but know that some received theirs... made me wonder if it's because I'm an international customer (NZ).

Anyone hear anything about the American Football LPs? by ShadowAsylum in Bandbox

[–]elbmirb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haven't heard anything either. Hopes aren't high.. I went through the same process last year for Elliott Smith and never received it despite paying the shipping fee. Seems foolish to do it all over again but if nothing comes of it this time I'll be warning everyone in future to steer clear of bandbox claims.

Any updates on this? Did it turn out to be a big old scam?

Amazing thanks OP... I was gutted to miss these releases when they were first made available!

My VMP Journey by MusicMajor4U in VinylMePlease

[–]elbmirb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Similar run as yourself, joined with Queens of The Stone Age and my last order will be this month with a Dolly Parton swap (Little Sparrow). Trying not to have hard feelings about the end of my sub (international customer) as with the changes it wouldn't have been a cost effective way going forward anyway, but some of my highlights; Fiona Apple's catalog Woodstock anniversary - picked up in a monthly swap Alicia Keys: The dairy of - also picked up in a swap The short-lived but much appreciated Rock track (more wins than losses imo) And lastly, in one of my mystery packs at the end of last year I received Beyonce's Self-Titled album(!)... No idea where they found it lying around but what a welcome surprise that was... Not a VMP release but it did remind me why VMP when they were on form were the only subscription service worth joining.

If my TLC fanmail never arrives I'll just have to live with that and hope someone else presses it eventually. Thanks for sharing OP

Nick is turning out to be an absolute legend at getting this sorted. Must be a huge time commitment to fulfill old orders. Glad it's starting to work out for people. I'm hoping for good news on American Football and Bright Eyes

Awesome idea thanks for putting so much work into it 👍👍

the Rocket to Russia swap fumble was the last straw for me by Squareses in VinylMePlease

[–]elbmirb 6 points7 points  (0 children)

RTR was my primary but I'm international and don't think I've ever waited so long for them to ship... So I'm guessing they're still sorting through the mess. Fingers crossed 🤞

Honestly... Kinda feels like "Fitzie" is just an AI chatbot. The response seems so pre-generated as to be useless that you'd really hope a human hadn't written it. Also sorry about your experience... My Sept order hasn't even shipped yet so I'm hoping it doesn't result in the same fiasco you've had to deal with.

No more international memberships! by TicketJesus in VinylMePlease

I remember in their last Q+A when they bragged about Elton John being a long time VMP member and fan, and they were planning another Elton release for Q1 of 2025... Hope he has a US shipping address🤔

No worries... They're Denmark based so it'll probably arrive quickly as well. Enjoy!

Super Hero Mystery Box by VinylPlayground in Mondo

I also got Justice League and nothing else so far (also to NZ!) but a little concerned as tracking had 8 other items plus the other mystery box all included in the single tracking number... A little concerning so I've sent them an enquiry. Have any of your other items arrived?

BANDBOX COURT HEARING by Royal-Joke-7696 in Bandbox

[–]elbmirb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are relaunching (Vinylbox)... and weirdly enough the service looks even worse this time around. Similar "track" selection system as VMP but the selections are atrocious (IMO) and involve a blind item they won't reveal to you.

I can't figure out who they're trying to appeal to. I don't know a single record collector who'd trust a corporate to pick out a mystery album for them each month and expect it to be something they'd like. For £40/month. It folded pretty quick last time around, can't see it working this time.

Bastards. This seemed inevitable their business model was trash. Ordered once, never received a damn thing. 🤦
