Nonesuch Problems


Recommended Posts

I'm sorry to keep complaining about this, but I am wondering if I am the only one having problems with Nonesuch preorders. My single was delayed, and I received no notification of shipping until I finally called.. Then I received the single 6 days late. I also preordered W(TA) on vinyl, and I have had no notification of shipping, and it looks like I will have further delays. It is rather frustrating...

I am growing increasingly more angry at this "customer service"

I think you'd have to wait until Tuesday with the record not showing up to have a legitimate complaint.

 

Technically yes, but the fact that it has not shipped basically means that I will not receive it on Tuesday

I pre-ordered from Nonesuch as well, and I've ordered quite a few items from them in the past. Their shipping of new releases is unpredictable at best. I've received some things the Saturday before, and I've received a couple releases nearly a week after their release. The only silver lining - and this is the only reason I sometimes still order from them - is that they are good at getting the digital downloads up and available by Midnight EST on the release date. I realize that's gonna be cold comfort for some of the vinyl fans, but hopefully you won't be entirely high and dry on Tuesday. I believe if you call them directly on Monday, you could cancel your order (assuming it hasn't shipped), but beware that once they've posted the digital downloads, you won't be able to cancel it.

 

I can't say 100 percent for certain that I've always received a shipping notice, but it's pretty obvious they've dropped the ball on this release. I don't think Nonesuch handles the orders themselves -- they're essentially handled by WEA/Rhino, which is unfortunate.

digital download is good enough for me until I get the vinyl.. I mean it extends the positive feeling of looking forward to something. Besides, aren't the mp3s very high quality?

I also ordered the single and the full and have received neither yet. Hoping that changes soon.

I got the 7" (which sounds killer, btw), but still no sign of W(TA) and no email confirming shipping. Oh well. I will keep my fingers crossed that it comes tomorrow, but it isn't looking good. I wonder if I can buy the LP at my local store, and then return the one I get in the mail from nonesuch? I'd just give the extra one away but I dont know too many folks with record players these days.

 

I know that "release date" has been watered down by the leak (no pun intended), but I will be pretty bummed if I can't run home after work to listen to the vinyl tomorrow. The older I get, the fewer Christmas-morning-type joys I get. Oh well.

I am in the same situation. Got the 7" but no LP. I was at walmart earlier and they had the cd out already. I was sad...

I guess with pre-orders, you have to sort of expect this to happen from time-to-time? I mean, it does suck to not get the physical product the day of, but as long as you get it within a week or so, I guess that's alright. I mean, I have gotten them in a spectrum of arrivals: some a week before the date, some on the day of release, some a week late. I guess the important thing is that you get them.

 

I just got the Lemonheads album I pre-ordered today and it was released last week. While, it sucked to not have the product in hand on the day you expected it, I still got what I paid for. I pre-ordered 4 recent release: Sonic Youth, Wilco, The Lemonheads, Son Volt. What the score on these pre-orders?

 

Sonic Youth - Day of release

Lemonheads - 6 days after release

Son Volt - Not yet released (We'll know soon, huh?)

Wilco - 7" (last Friday), Lp (?)

I was told I was being unreasonable when i called and asked if it had been shipped. I told them this was the last order I will make with them. Not that it matters. they suck when it comes to keeping the customer satisfied.

They really do suck.. they are the ones who said it would be shipped on release date.. I hardly think that calling the day before to ask if the product has been shipped is unreasonable

Oh weird. Did they always say they would be shipping it ON release date? If they did, I am an idiot for ordering from them. And if they said that they would be shipping it ON release date, and you knew this, then calling the day before to ask if it had shipped is silly. I can see why they'd be annoyed. Sorry Clint09. I am in this boat with you, but I calls em as I sees em.
