Ultimate Vinyl bundle received today. Finally.

No pictures? For shame!

Nice!

Finally got shipping email yesterday. Should be here tomorrow.

Is the thing in the middle the lithograph they are sending due to the delay of the vinyl? Also, are people getting the digital bundle that has the demos and making of video?

[Captain]

There are the matchstick demos that come with the rest of the bundle. I don't think there is an actual making of video, sadly

[Snakenole]

Ah, so that must be the CD that's leaning on the vinyl.

Yeah, that sucks. The "digital bundle" that was promised sounds like it would have been better.

Just tracked my package and it's due to arrive on Monday. Already waited about a month and a half, what's another week, right?

[popnfresh]

mine is sitting at my parents' house.
nice

Yup

Nothing yet. Supposedly that's still supposed to be sent out, but who knows when that'll happen...

My preorder came in as well. I noticed that both of ours are missing the "Dime Matchbook". It's listed on the item list on MerchNOW as well as my receipt but is missing from the package. Is yours?

Otherwise I'm very pleased with my purchase. I also bought the standard bundle for the shirt and CD for the car. MerchNOW is such a janky company, they sent along a CD from 2008 from a COMPLETELY different band that has the word "Dear" in the title. Man, it's like they're asleep over there!

Finally got mine yesterday. Everything looks pretty cool but I was busy last night and didn't have a chance to really go through it all. The LP seems nice and heavy and man, I love the cover artwork at that size. The t-shirt is cool, but like a lot of American Apparel shirts, it's very loooonnng for a large. It's really narrow and long. So I can't see wearing it much. Maybe to sleep in.

I did have to laugh when I saw "Merchnow Shipping Department" on the label. I was like, "They have an actual shipping department? I thought maybe one of the owners' moms mails stuff out in her spare time."

I bought the CD bundle and then the LP separately since the LP bundle was sold out.

I think they substituted the "Matchbook Demos" CD for the actual matches--the one to the right of Act V in your photo. I'm wondering if they couldn't send matches due to some postal regulation or something.

Oh and that Dear & the Headlights CD they accidentally sent you is really good. That's a great band. So you might end up liking it, hopefully. They are definitely asleep at the wheel but if you like the CD, then oh well:)

Well, today was to be the day that my bundle finally arrived. Tracked the package today and it now says information is unavailable and that due to a UPS trailer arriving late the delivery has been rescheduled. No delivery date given now. This has been quite the ridiculous ordeal.

[alexsohani]

I ordered just the dark blue vinyl of Act V ages ago. My "order" came today and it was just the CD along with a random CD I never ordered. Just sent MerchNow a nasty e-mail.

[Captain]

The CD you never ordered is just a bonus thing they do I guess. Not getting the right vinyl though, that's not great

[Grizzly Bear Arcade]

I finally received my order today, but I didn't get any additional cd. The lithograph that Casey did is pretty cool, but I feel kinda bad that he had to take time out of his schedule to make something special for us to make up for something that he had nothing to do with. Merchnow should be responsible for compensating us, not Casey. Very rad of him to do, though.

[Captain]

I ended up with a We Came as Romans cd. I don't listen to them so it's just kinda sitting on my bookshelf.

[theryan]

Does anyone else think it's funny that the "first pressing" vinyls that we received through preorder clearly weren't the first copies of the record to be pressed? They already had the blue/white ones on tour. But ours still said first pressing. Anyway, I loled.

[robholding]

Still haven't got mine lol

[Snakenole]

Still? That's crazy at this point.
