Vault #9 - First Shipment Bets

[rsimms3]

The packaging definately isn't the same this time...with that said mine made it to Sydney in perfect condition.

Depends on your mail man/woman I guess.

Also, does anyone think the Wanda Live Lp is a bit light? I don't think it has the same weight as other tmr vault vinyls.

All split color records from TMR have been standard weight, including the Black and Blues, with the exception of the Horehound split which is 180g. All solid black records from TMR are 180g with a few exceptions like Seasick Steve.

Am I the only one still waiting on this package?

I'm in Toronto and still waiting as well.

Although I'm currently in Winnipeg for work, so I'm hoping to arrive Friday and have 5-6 postal slips.

I live in Brighton and got mine today..has a shocking seem split about 8cm long on the inner sleeve and oddly, the top left corner was folded over! It must have been like before it went in the sleeve..wierd! Defo going to ask for a replacement inner sleeve





Also found that the vinyl is marked..looks like a few scuffs and what look finger marks

And I suppose my Wanda will arrive all minty. Just like Boscobel. The 2 that I didnt even care for at all.

OK l fell like bitching. Allow me to proceed with that.
I collected my #9 from post office this morning.
Mailer was pristine. Never seen such sharp corners, it was like I picked it up from TMR counter.
Of course it had to be like this but #1 #4 #5 and #8 had all have to be with awful corner damage and even the replacements didn't arrive in good condition.
But Wanda has he sharpest corners you ll ever see. ARGH!

That said, the #9 was floating in the mailer with no extra cardboard and that caused a big seam split on the top which I assume is also in the inner sleeve.
I ll open it on Tuesday but I dont have the courage to request replacement sleeves.
I just finished doing this for #8.

OK sorry about that, I just wanted to share my experience

Just recieved my package in Uk and inner sleeve is split on all 3 sides, really annoying as international members pay extra $10 which was to cover cost of shipping and they can't put extra card in like they do with other orders.

Does TMR pack the Vault stuff for shipment, or does URP? I thought I heard at one time that URP delivers them to TMR ready for shipping, but that could be erroneous...

From my understanding URP packs the records and seals them with the shrink, then TMR puts them in the shipping boxes adding postage. I've had record covers with scrapes on them beneath the shrink telling me URP doesn't always treat the Vault packages with the utmost care.

^^ I just sat and watched your new avatar for over a minute. It's mesmerizing.

Landed in the UK. Nice sharp corners, but seam splits on two sides on the inner like everyone else.
