Wendy Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 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! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I choose Musictoday... I have enough to be pissed off at government entities the past few years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Derek Phillips Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 No sign of mine either. I won't be pre-ordering again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beltmann Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blindgonzo Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 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.

foolnrain97 Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 I am waiting on my ultra fan-boy package as well. I was too poor to pay for express shipping. I'm hoping it'll be here tomorrow. More likely friday, though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wendy Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 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* Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jrmitchell72 Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 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. 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. j.

Thurston Howell III Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 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? rcb http://parenthetical.blog-city.comMusic, politics, culture, food ... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
theashtraysays Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

thejokeexplained Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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.

candyfloss1214 Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 I JUST received my SBS pre-order! On the positive side, it's about a week ahead of the Live in the Pacific Northwest pre-order. I'm pretty sure this this the last time I pre-order with Music Today. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
quarter23cd Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 I haven't received mine yet, but I didn't pay the $500 for express shipping, so I figure I won't see it until roughly mid-August. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Heartbreak Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 I got mine on Tuesday, and I'm all the way down in South Florida. It may just be the luck of the draw on the good ol' U.S. postal service. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think any blame can be put on the USPS in this case. This one is all on the shipper. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Reflectedinthemoon Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 i think it seriously is just random. i live in maryland, and got my preorder (without express shipping) on MONDAY. crazy, eh? Sorry to all of you who have had bad experiences... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
awatt Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Still not here and feeling increasingly anxious 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! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
notary Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 I got the Friday email and the goods arrived today. Luckily, I was able to resist the urge to just buy the combo pack at Borders, for an arm and a leg. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Christopher Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jimbo Jones Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
