boxes get moved through all shipping networks aggressively and quickly. welcome to logistics. dd is known to pack inconsistently. that’s a risk we take for the great deals.
LIB boxes, FWIW - The one I ordered from CD-Imports E-bay store came double boxed with other records (in LP mailers) in the outer box in the order to fill the void. Everthing perfect The one I ordered from Wal Mart (Deep Discount fulfilled) had no other records in the order and arrived in the regular LIB packing box which was a little dinged but the LIB boxset itself pristine Couldn't happier, $74 all in for 2
Update on my shipping problems (I received two partial boxes: one egregious- I received a single-LP mailer that was supposed to include several more LP's, and a less clear-cut example where I received a package that contained the two box sets I was expecting, but not the single LP's that were part of the same order and shipment.) Good news: without further prodding on my part, get_importCDs refunded me on all the missing LP's from my first experience shown above. On the other: they want to see a photograph of the mailing label. I'm not sure I still have that - I will search for it shortly.
Re: missing items I’m going to take inventory of everything I ordered vs. what I received tomorrow. It seems like they got everything right. Well… almost everything. I just got home from work, and the last of my shipments was sitting on my porch. Everything I ordered was included… but for some reason they also threw in about 15 extra copies of Widespread Panic’s “Everyday.” Hope these weren’t meant for one of you guys, cuz you ain’t getting them
I thought I caught a similar, but much smaller, break. I ordered Coltrane's A Love Supreme from Wal Mart (fulfilled by DD). Received 2. Thought I got a freebie until I looked at my purchases. I bought, and was charged for 2. Looks like my son will be getting his first jazz album for his birfday
My second shipment with Mick Fleetwood/Peter Green and Live at Leeds came through unscathed. Packaged mucho better than my LIB shipment.
Glad to hear that! I see that the Live At Leeds is still there… I’ve been on the fence just because I already own SO many copies of it but if it hangs around until payday I might have to bite.
Update to my shipping issues: without much problem, and without having to involve EBay or Paypal, get_importCDs refunded all of the records that did not make it into the packages they sent me. I was pleasantly surprised. Of course, most of the records are 'irreplaceable' now since the prices have moved higher, but still I was relieved. I hope the others here who had similar issues had similar success.
Same. Ultimately got everything I ordered but for Black Sabbath - Sabotage which was refunded two days ago. Irritating because I feel like I was in the early order group but probably not something I’d listen to often so I guess I’m better off spending the money on something else. I do wish their system was a bit more logical though.
Slightly unrelated, but my sabotage box had a really screwed up defective record. I just realized I bought it through pop market though on discogs. Now let's see how the return process goes
I sent something back bought via the EBay CDImports store and it was pretty seamless. It was unopened so I don’t know if that plays a factor or not.
Just jumping in a few days late to say that Rejoice by Masekela and Allen is a fantastic album, and $12 is a ridiculous price.
I already had the CD box w/a reissue of the original tracklist album , but couldn't resist the price. Now they sit side by side, just like the two Let It Be boxes.
Alright, so between Ebay, DD, and Walmart, this is what i ended up with: Black Sabbath - Sabotage LP box Black Sabbath - TE LP box Bowie - Brilliant Adventures LP box Rod Stewar LP Box The Black Keys - El Camino SDE LP Box ELP - Live LP Box Liquid Tension Experiment - LTE3 SDE Box King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard - Live in Paris 19 LP boxz King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard - Live in Brussels 19 Lp box Johnny Cash - Carousel Ballroom Lp box Overkill - Atlantic Year Lp box The Replacemets - Sorry Ma SDE box 220 Volt - Eye to Eye LP 220 Volt - Power Games Lp 220 Volt - Young & Wild Lp 220 Volt - Mind Over Muscle Lp Angel Witch - s/t LP Annihilator - Set the World on Fire Lp Aretha Franklin - Yeah LP Aretha Franklin - Aretha LP Flotsam and Jetsam - No Place for Disgrace Lp Heathen - Victims of Deception LP Stanley Turrentine - Cherry LP Trey Anastasio - Burn it Down 3lp Borknagar - s/t 2cd Degreed - Are You Ready CD (japan) Desultory - Into Eternity Cd (japan) Desultory - Bitterness Cd (japan) Iron Angel - Emeral Eyes Cd (japan) Lucifer - IV cd
Did anyone else get the live Can 3xLP set? I couldn't resist for like $15 or whatever it was. The golden swirled vinyl is absolutely beautiful. And as an added bonus, when you spin it on the turntable it plays noise! I haven't been able to bring myself to open the Black Sabbath Technical Ecstasy box set, after reading more about it here. The only albums of theirs I have are the first two and Heaven and Hell. I'd be interested to hear the album, but I don't think I need two versions, let alone 3 more LPs of a supposedly mediocre mp3-sourced performance. I'll have to decide whether I should try to sell it unopened to my local used record shop. I guess my favorite purchase from this sale was the Marillion Fugazi box set. I'd never heard this band before, but I'm enjoying it a lot.
Japan Quiet life Red vinyl (not sure about the SQ on this one) for just over $10 via DD's Walmart store. Japan - Quiet Life - Vinyl - Walmart.com
Just a quick heads up most have said this pressing is Noisy , Muddy , no top end etc. I was really bummed when this came out as i like the red color & love this album but stuck with my old pressing .... Japan – Quiet Life (2021, Red, Half-Speed, Gatefold, Vinyl) - Discogs
i had trouble with the qc and the sound was definitely not as great as 80s pressings, but for $10 it's worth a shot!
