So maybe the postage rate hike has the post office in a tizzy?

 

I need to know who to be mad at ... MusicToday or Teh Post Office! :realmad

 

I choose Musictoday... I have enough to be pissed off at government entities the past few years.

I pre-ordered through Amazon and chose the free shipping option (other stuff bumped it over $25). It arrived Tuesday. Based on the stories in this thread, I'd be reluctant to use Musictoday when my usual methods are cheaper and faster.

the only reason i pre-ordered was for all of the extras: t-shirt, tote bag, and free download. mine probably won't be here for one or two weeks. if i didn't have the leaked version to sustain me, i wouldn't order from musictoday.

Let us not forget the bunch of carrots they dangled in front of our faces called ... the preorder prizes!!! I'll be damned if I didn't win a single one of those suckas. *snarl*

me too, minus the shirt. this whole pre-order experience has been poor. first I order the vinyl since it also came with the cd. then a few days later they decide to release a deluxe version and don't let the vinyl buyers also have the dvd. then they let indie stores have a special two song cd. now, since i bought this...more or less...directly from the band, I feel I have been penalized. shouldn't we be getting all the perks too? hell, I can now even buy the tote bag separate if I want. we've been had.

 

not really mad, just frustrated.

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

 

I live about 20 minutes from the MusicToday warehouse in Crozet. I got an e-mail Friday reporting it had shipped (USPS). I still have not received anything. All I ordered was the CD/DVD.

 

From now on, I'll preorder nothing from them unless there are extra goodies involved.

 

Does the flaming-bag-of-dog-poop trick still work?

Nothing at my house today either. Regular shipping; I got the same email as everyone else got on Friday. Not a very fulfilling experience from "MusicNextWeek". I once again realise why we call it snail mail. :hmm

 

 

musicnextweek about made me blow red wine out me nose, too funny.

OK the mail man came and went today with out the goods... i just got off the phone with musicnextweek and they said if it's not here tomorrow it's probably lost in the mail and to call and they will ship another copy via UPS so they can track it.

I personally think they are full of shit and probably did not actually drop the bulk of the shipment until Tuesday to those of us that did not pay extra for the express mail.

 

I suggest everyone that has not gotten their copy yet call and bitch! If it accomplishes nothing else it did make me feel better.

 

Just have your order # and call 877/687-4277

oh that's not very comforting. i ordered the vinyl. and it has not arrived yet either. gulp. oh dear, i hope it is not lost in the mail. interesting enough, i ordered the cd/dvd from an indy store in oregon and it arrived today via snail mail. huh, i think musicnextweek might be an understatement.

Still not here and feeling increasingly anxious :nailbite

 

I called musicnextweek too and was told they'll consider it lost after 2 weeks. Damn why didn't I spend the extra for speedy delivery! :loser

I got an email confirming shipping of the CD/DVD combo on Friday but I still haven't received it. Stands to reason because they didn't have my full address correct. So I have to wait for USPS to send it back to Musictoday and then maybe they will resend it. They said check back around the 29th! I went ahead and purchased the CD/DVD at Best Buy Tuesday because I couldn't wait. I don't mind buying again...It's for the band you know.

What a bunch of garbage. What was the point of offering a preorder if the company can't get them out to people in time for release? There's certainly not a concern about the record leaking before the release date. Next time I won't bother with any of this. I will wait for the vinyl to come out and just buy it at my local record shop.
