Gripe Thread

Gripe, but I'm sure it'll turn out good.

I sent two records to UK yesterday. Two hours ago I got the same package delivered to me.
I asked the delivery man why, and he looked at me confused and asked what do I mean, you're this person and live in this address, right? Yeah, but if you look at the address card, you'll see that I'm the sender and the recipient is in the UK.

You should've seen his face, haha There was almost a minute's silence. Then he concluded that I am the sender as it says in the package card, the package looks good and intact, the postage has been paid. He has absolutely no idea why this was sent to me. He'll sort it out asap.

On the bright side, delivery was super speedy!

[Godflesh]

The tracking says after 1 day that the package has been delivered to GB and signed by the recipient...

asshats haha

I hate hate HATE jsrdirect.com and their weird approach to shipping, they are not only selling overpriced records but charge way too much for shipping. Stupid blue Transcendence finally shipped last thursday and won't be delivered until this thursday. I payed $10 shipping for that?

[anomynous]

mine hasn't even shipped yet

[Godflesh]

Assholes! I thought that I can just barely take the $25 shipping so that I can get the Vikingligr Veldi on green vinyl, but the customs dumbells had to put a €10 tax on top. Now it cost me fucking $60!

it costs way more than that at discogs now, if that's any consolation

A small consolation, yes. But my dislike towards those despicable, greedy bastards grows with every completely unnecessary tax robbery! Today I paid €11 extra for the Opeth: Sorceress JSR exclusive. Can't wait for the Relapse Death box set and the other package... I'm surprised that I managed to haggle through the Melvins €200 vinyl without incident. It would've been €65 extra.
