To those who got the cheap standard shipping

I then notice that the needle is moving up and down and the disc is bent to shit

And so I try and play disc 2, and it's not bent, but the belt on my turntable is now broken

Fuck My. Life.

What was an AWESOME day 10 minutes ago is now a horrible day

As a former DJ who bought plenty of vinyl online, I feel your pain sir. Nothing better than ordering vinyl in the summer and it getting warped during shipping.

That's what mine says too. Basically I think it means it's been put into the USPS system and is on its way. No way of tracking it from here on out, though (at least I dont think so...maybe someone can prove me wrong)

Do you happen to know what company shipped it? Was it Mail Innovations?

I checked my tracking status about 10 minutes ago, saw the same thing, and assumed I wouldn't be getting the album for at least another day or two. Disappointed and bored, I decided to go check the mail anyway for the hell of it. And what do ya know, there it was, sitting in my mailbox! I'm unwrapping the album as I type!!

So "guaranteed" first day shipping nonsense has now turned into two days without the deluxe package. I love you MusicToday!

So yours didn't say anything after having the manifested postage paid or whatever? And it was there?

Yea, their expensive shipping has always been BS

I found my BIG WHIKSEY SUPER DELUXE BOX SET VERSION in the mail WHEN I ARRIVED HOME FROM WORK. I wouldn't have known about it if I had not heard it from the Ants Podcast guys! Big thanks to everyone. I love this ALBUM SO MUCH, getting the bonus tracks, Grux Pics, and the DVD WERE SOO WORTH IT. This was my first DMB Album receiving and opening reverently experience! I know I will be able to do this more times in the future. Just thinking logically after a slam dunk like this there has to be a follow up. That's for another thread


DMB DMB DMB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE THEM SO MUCH!!!!

Well, me too.

Mine was waiting for me when I got off work today. And it said it was stuck in Durham, NC.

[MPizzle06]

I'm impressed, at least they're trying to help you out.

Mine went from VA to PA to IL to Omaha.. I work in Omaha but live in Lincoln and I found out today that it was just gonna b too much of a hassle for the UPS guys to make it another 50 mi to my city to deliver it... tomorrow for sure!

Man what a shitty story!

I have a stupid question. Does the Super Deluxe Box set fit in a standard mailbox? I got the cheapest shipping, so I'm still waiting for mine. I just get worried that it was left on my doorstep and someone took off w/ it or they just flat out lost it!

When I got my WOTR boxset a few years ago, disc 6 (2nd disc from N3) was scratched so badly that it actually had a hole in it. I called them about it, and they said to send it back, they'd refund my shipping costs, and they'd send me a new one. I sent it back the next day, and actually received my new WOTR that same day. They refunded my shipping costs, and about 2 weeks later, they sent me back the damaged goods again. Since 7 of the 8 CDs and the DVD were in good shape, I just gave it to my friend.

I didn't pay for express shipping and I got my package on June 2! God loves me.

[Pig17]

I, surprisingly, got it in the mail today.

I loathe UPS Mail Innovations - I ordered the "cheap" shipping and still don't have mine. In fact, my tracking # says my DLX Package is still in Durham, NC. I live in Portland, OR. This means I'll get my package sometime in February of 2010. I am sad. :-(

[Carterfan36]

Sstrong93, Did you ever receive yours? I am in uptown Dallas and UPS says it is still in Memphis (for two days now). I ordered Super Deluxe and chose the second "fastest" option.

That's what mine says too and then it's followed by the "manifest" message where it is supposed to be in the USPS circulation. If I dont have it by tomorrow I'm going to be very ticked off based on how many people have already gotten theirs with the cheap shipping.

Mine also says Manifested (Postage Paid) and that it's still in Durham, NC. Do you think it's actually still there or do you think it's on its way out? Where do you live by the way? I live in the New York area and I haven't heard of anyone receiving their package yet from around here.

It's funny you say yours is in Memphis. When I called UPS this morning, it magically left Memphis shortly thereafter. It seems the expedited standard got routed the same way. Give UPS a call. They told me it would be delivered by tomorrow. Just arrived in Dallas. I'd imagine at the sort center on Webb Chapel, so I'll probably get it tomorrow.

Which is cool because I have to work from home.

Yea, mine was saying this same thing about being in Durham, but I got it today. Odd

I'm in the Chicago area. I would think that after it has been put into the USPS circulation it means it's on its way but that it is no longer being tracked. Has anyone else who has had their package go through this seen anything listed AFTER the manifestation message?

[UTTAD83]

I used the cheapest shipping selection and received mine today via U.S. Postal Service. Received before any of my friends who did "express".

I wish I had gotten mine today. Lucky, lucky.
