I don't think it was a case where he just didn't feel like communicating with us. He came right out when the download thing went to shit and made sure it got straightened out quick. And was likely assured by Firebrand that more screw ups wouldn't happen. Then probably started focusing on the shows this summer, new music, being a father, etc.
Shit happens. He's taking accountability for everything with virtually no excuses. It's not like he went on Twitter and threw his former distributor under the tour bus..
Well hell. Just got shipping notice for the Prick LP and Lost Highway 2xLP I ordered yesterday (?). Let's see how quick it gets here and how well Sandbag ships & packages records out.
Has it been pointed out yet that there are listings for the definitive editions of The Slip, With Teeth, and Year Zero? I don't recall those being listed on the old store.
I have my discount code
Waiting for the next physical component to spend it on.
20% from 12$ isn't that much though...
I wonder if the code will work on possible future tour tickets sold through nin.com. . .?
when i placed my previous order on nin.com, i bought the physical component, NTAE on vinyl, the fragile deviations, the fragile, broken, and TDS, and it was around $250. that coupon would have saved me $50. so it's for people who are buying the next gigantic round of releases to feel like they're getting a good deal after being fucked around so much by firebrand and the production delays.
36hrs and no reply to my question about my Firebrand order(s) from December via Sandbag helpdesk (they say they usually respond within 24hrs).
I hope this isn't an ominous sign.
I am just trying to enquire as to whether I'd ever be shipped the NTAE Physical Component (which is now listed as sold out) and other vinyl that I ordered
that are also now listed as 'sold out' on the UK store.
Will let you all know if I hear anything. Please update us with progress of refunds for those that have applied for a full refund.
It's still £125 to hear the Fragile updates we've been waiting most of the decade for, so as far as I'm concerned, the store still has problems. Don't need vinyl, do need to afford food.
Well shit. Already on the negative points for Sandbag. Order arrived today. Well-packed with ample bubblewrap. Prick LP in perfect shape. But no Lost Highway 2xLP. They shorted my order.
Now begns the ordeal to contact and get a reply and resolution.
I'd like to see hesitation marks DE and the audiophile master available. Due to living in Scotland I didn't order halo 28 from nin.com (would've been a damn expensive way to get one cd delivered) and now with a uk store I hoped it would reappear.
I'd also like my two orders of vinyl to show up one day too. I ordered both versions of NTAE, both Fragile versions and TDS and only have downloads and a few unanswered emails from firebrand. And now one unanswered email from Sandbag.
