LP delivered by UPS today. The gatefold is freakin' sweet.

 

Also, the CD-version included with the LP comes in a reasonably sturdy cardboard sleeve that is a reproduction of the SBS cover.

 

Thank you UPS. And thank you work schedule for allowing me to be home today.

Did anybody get theirs delivered today? Nothing at my house but junk mail & bills. Thought for sure I'd be watching the DVD till Letterman comes on tonite..... apparently, not. :ohwell

 

I thought wilco was on letterman tomorrow. unless you mean you were just waiting for letterman not because of wilco...

I am now officially disappointed with the US Postal Service... still no delivery today. And I'm pretty sure today's Tuesday. Not certain, mind you, but pretty sure. Bother.

 

Didn't get it here either...I'm in FL, but it shipped on Friday USPS Priority. Guess I wasn't a Priority today. A friend of mine didn't receive his either. At least it will make my tomorrow a little better...I hope.

Still waiting, too. I really couldn't justify the extra bucks on shipping, spending enough already. So mailman,

 

But I did get something in the mail today, The Books Playall DVD, so I am at least getting entertained in the meanwhile.

I ordered the express shipping (2 day UPS), and UPS didn't leave it yesterday because there was no one home to sign for it (don't get me started bitching about how we've told UPS dozens of times to either just leave the stuff, or have a neighbor sign for it; there is always a neighbor home).

 

My sister ordered hers by regular mail, and that arrived yesterday. :hmm

I don't know why I preordered. I had to pay shipping and then stare as my girlfriend bought the 2xLP (which is 180 gram and sounds amazing!) before mine has even arrived and the LP's were right under a rack FULL OF DVD SPECIAL EDITION COPIES! Man I'm going old school when they put out the tentatively titled Brass Hinges in August 08, I am gonna walk up to the record store and say gimmee, pay 18 dollars and then set the slip case aside. UGH.

well, mine came (lp/cd) yesterday i think but infortunately a friend wrecked my needle which had to be sent off to be fixed. so no turntable for 10 days now and it's not looking good for my planned weekend wilco vinyl magnum opus spinning party. good thing i wasted the 13 bucks on the rush delivery but at least it came on time.

 

so how's the vinyl sound compared to the cd?

To me, this is a serious gaffe on MusicToday's part. Seems to me that if you bother to pre-order something, you should be given the bonus of early delivery -- even if it's by just a day. They sent this stuff out last Friday for a Tuesday release, and most of us didn't get it until at least Tuesday, meaning that we waited longer than if we'd bought it in the store (assuming you can get to a store before your mail comes).

 

They're going to find that no one wants to participate in their future pre-orders due to their lackluster track record in getting those orders to people on time. That's money out of their pocket, and you'd think they'd have tried to avoid it.

 

Has anyone written to Wilco's management about this?

So...has anyone who didn't choose express shipping gotten anything yet?

 

 

Quoting my own previous bitch:

I went with regular delivery and don't have it yet. I preordered because I thought the band would get a bigger cut (not sure if this is true or not). Regardless, I really don't think I'll preorder anything going forward. I really don't see the point; I'm paying more and getting it later...

I'm basically just in it for the t-shirt. Not having the cd yet would probably bother me more if I hadn't already had the leaked version for months now.

I went with regular delivery and got it this morning. I wasn't in a hurry though, as I have heard it a lot already. However, I did take a 2 week break from it to build up anticipation.

 

Also, I look rather dashing in my Wilco Arrow t-shirt.

nope, and I don't really think it was sent on Friday either...no way...it would have been here already. I think MusicToday just sent a bulk email to everyone on the list. unfortunately I don't have any indie stores that sell vinyl around me so I guess this is what I have to deal with. oh well, it's not like I haven't had the music for a couple of months now.

I'm sure it was posted on Friday but probably not dropped for pick up then. With the postage rates that went up Monday they would have been stupid not to have at least put the post on the packages. I mean the $11.55 they charged me for shipping when it only probably cost them $4.05 in actual post? look at the profit they would have missed out on if they didn't.
