I was supposed to get a "promo" CD for this Italian avant band we were evaluating when I was on the team - so weeks go by and it never shows, I figure the band just decided F it and decided not to send.
I received the CD about 6 months later.

My vinyl just came in the mail.
I'm a little ticked because the edges got a little crinkled in shipping, but besides that it's really stunning. Not as great looking as the motW Part The Second, but I'll still take it. |
That's nothing. My PtS vinyl (numbered as ANTI-001, I think it's the first copy) came warped pretty bad. No issues with playing though, sounded nice through gramps' 80's Technics turntable.
I left it at his house under other 50 albums and I'll come back in a month or so. Maybe it'll unwarp, dunno. |
That sucks.
What kind of a scam is Toby running here with these faulty vinyls? |
Well, it's partially my fault. I got the cheapest shipping there was (thanks, mom), and you can't really trust the mail guys in this country.

I tend to like Coyote better in concept than practice, but it is very, very slowly, growing on me.

That happened to me too with the USPS. I ordered from a guy via amazon. When the cd hadn't come I contacted him. He said the post office had no record of the package existing so he gave me a refund.
I got the cd about a year later. You couldn't even see the packaging because it had so many USPS mailing labels on it. The thing had been to about 25 states in that time. I have no idea how that happens.

I wish I could go  The 25$ more for 3 or 4 extra CD's was a good deal though, with or without the partay.

I mean that I like the idea, the concept and story of Coyote, more than actually listening to it.
I wrote my review today, if anyone read it. It probably went from 2 to 3 stars in the past 2 listenings from today and yesterday.

LOL, the US postal services are actually worst than the BR postal services (  ). There ARE advantages in living in an emerging coutry after all.
