I got my two remaining Vinyl Me Please records today (White Stripes De Stijl and Buena Vista Social Club). I was going to renew at the one-time cheaper price but realizing now that I don't really know Spiritualized and also didn't have a ton of things I knew I wanted in the "Swap" options so I may just cancel my subscription.
That adn the fact that it looks like some releases get put up on Amazon and Discogs marketplace for reasonable pricing so if I want any specific release I'll likely be able to grab it as a one-off.
Can't justify paying even more for what we get currently when I have way too many records as it is lol. De Stijl sucked me back in, though. I needed to get that.
I'm waiting till I get the shipping notice for "Ladies and Gentlemen.." and I'm gonna cancel.
Has anyone ordered from overseas as of late? I did a few months ago and it was still pretty spot on. I waited 6 weeks from Germany. I just ordered a fresh batch from the Netherlands and a solo from Switzerland and can't figure out if it's gonna be a waiting game or not. Even worse, I messed up and didn't get tracking on the Swiss record and I already regret that.
not vinyl, but i've ordered clothes and tobacco from europe during covid season and it's all shipped fine. handling time a bit longer for some items but no change in actual shipping speed.

Ordered a copy of Heaven or Las Vegas from Britain. Shipped on July 9th, arrived around a month later in the first week of August. Based on the tracking info, it took longer to get from the USPS sorting facility to me than it did to get there from Britain. Wonder why ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Zappa and the Mothers - Grand Wazoo (absolutely gorgeous copy of the first press today... been holding out for a copy like this for years) Wire - The Ideal Copy ( VG+ today... great Post punk/new wave album with industrial leanings. It’s no Pink Flag, but it’s great!) Neon Indian - Psychic Chasms ( rare 1st pressing a few weeks back, also signed by Alan Palomo... great price, too!) Scorpions - Lovedrive US 1st press (70s Scorpions is way underrated)

Anything from Europe will take around a month. It looks like Germany mail is finally allowed to ship to the US, but not sure how long that will take.

That's what I'm thinking. Glad to get a bit of confirmation on it. Thank you.
I blew my budget this month already and then that Emma Ruth Rundle/Thou collaborative album was announced on Sacred Bones. I'm working up excuses now to tell Mrs. GL.

Yeah, that's also why i'm canceling instead of doing one more "discounted" renewal. Bought a few too many pre-orders the past month and had to spring for the $60 book from A24 about Hereditary so I'm going to save the $80-something I would have spent on VMP.
I've had a good run. Would probably take something monumental to make me sign up to the new pricing again.

I order from overseas frequently and it is never an issue. Stuff from Europe takes 2-4 weeks. The two times I ordered from China it took 6-8 weeks. Record delivery has come to a screeching halt domestically, due to our wonderful administration attempting to improve their chances of relection. I have tracking on 5 different packages right now and they have spent between 7 and 15 days in Chicago sorting facilities.

Woof. I gave up on tracking domestically. I had a Frank Wright package stuck in LA for two weeks then it randomly showed up in DC for a week. I opened my mailbox to find it in there on Monday with no notification it was out for delivery. It's superbad for mail right now. I feel for everyone of those carriers.
I just got the shipping notice for the second package so my wait is on then.
Finally got my two Boy Harsher records from Germany today! 3 months in the making!! hahaha
Holy shit. Congrats on that.
I got my Arthur Jones album from Switzerland in 9 days. It's the one I forgot tracking on and was super surprised when I opened the mailbox.
In comparison, the Netherlands package was shipped the next day and it hasn't left the country yet.
I don't have many "goals" collecting vinyl but my big one is 5 records away from being done. Pretty stoked I'll be finishing that up in a few weeks. Feels like I've been going hard the past few months.
Quick update my vinyl collection, we already filled out the storage unit we have dedicated for the records, and had to get a couple of crates (also please let me know if you have any suggestions for nice crates).

Looking forward to RSD Part I this Saturday.
My parents gave me a Sunny Slope peach crate that they've had since the 70s and I love it very much. Here's one on Etsy:

Last weekend I picked up Radiohead - OK Computer OKNOTOK, Muse - Absolution, bunch of Björk (Vulnicura, Medulla, Homogenic, couple of singles), Caribou - Our Love, Porridge Radio - Every Bad, The National - Trouble Will Find Me, Solange - When I Get Home, and some more (Jamie xx, St Vincent, Fiona, Janelle etc); all from local stores.
Now I understand why I didn't start collecting earlier because I have no self-control. I knew this was gonna happen lol.
