Ordered a poster earlier and it’s already shipped. Shipping was $6.xx which isn’t terrible and sure isn’t $24 or whatever some people are seeing. So far so good...

Put my order in for vinyl, shirts, and the birthday show poster & used my discount code as icing on the cake. Alas, there's a postal holiday that will inevitably delay shipping so I'm not expecting anything until December 1st.
*edit* Well, this was unexpected. I'll believe it when it's on my doorstep the day before Thanksgiving, but this is kinda awesome.

Come home and it's sold out. Yay!
Did anyone try the code they'd sent out previously? I forgot about it.
I absolutely hold Trent accountable for this nonsense.
In hindsight, it was premature in shitcanning Firebrand before practically anything physical was mailed out. Sure, they screwed up those initial download e-mails, but everyone got situated fairly quickly after that. And how many people who paid nothing up front got their hands on those high quality files simply from the kindness of others who actually paid for them? If Firebrand didn't even have hands on the Deluxe Editions before they were shown the door, then how is it their fault nothing got shipped?
But then he went with Sandbag, whom you yourself pointed out was horrible (by Trent's own admission) years prior when he went that route. He tried them again and look what transpired. His paying customers waited months for poorly-mailed and -- in some cases -- poorly assembled products after buying into the vinyl mission statement.
Now we're finding out that Deviations sure wasn't a limited exclusive anything, and will be available for significantly less in just about every online retailer imaginable. With no explanation from Camp NIN whatsoever.
So yea, I hold Trent accountable here. Practically 100%. If this were happening with a musician like, say, Marilyn Manson, a significant portion of this board would be gleefully roasting him on a spit for it.
And the fact that I spent another $120 today on "exclusive" silk-screened posters and AV vinyl with "exclusive" slip mats should at least give me the right to express some fairly-widespread discontent, methinks.
At least, on the bright side, we practically know the next batch of DEs will be available elsewhere, and at a likely cheaper price..
I just tried mine and it's not working... Maybe because it seems to be a UK code but anyways, I won't worry about it too much seeing as it's not for "The Fragile, Deviations, Broken or TDS" and I'd like to get my hands on the rest of those first.
Their FAQ says to drop them a line and they'll fix it so i might do that one day if I'm not buying elsewhere.
Ugh, no more PayPal as a payment method?
Ordered off of Amazon. Not dealing with this bullshit again
I was contacted by the NIN customer service team and was told that more vinyl/slipmats are on the way, but they want to have them in hand and ready to ship before they take new orders so they can head out right away.
So I suggest you keep an eye on the store and hopefully you can still score that slipmat you want!
I’m glad the shipping rate issue is resolved at least. Now just patience before the pounce...
I received that same PM, asked them to implement email updates for when AV is in stock, and they replied that they would get it done in a few days. We'll see.
Guess I'm keeping an eye out! Fingers crossed. If I can't get one, I might have an extra physical component I'd be willing to trade off to get one, buuut time will tell!
I ordered two things at 5:08 pm, and I had a shipping notification less than 4 hours later at 8:58 pm.
WHAT IS THIS?!
Ordered the Add Violence LP off Amazon.ca
got a poster from the NIN store -
lets see see how this goes
hopefully the third time is the charm...
and discount codes work? I wanna use mine when they release the other definitive editions
Check the UK store(link) also as the both the AV + slipmats and posters are still labelled as 'coming soon'. Not sure what international shipment charges will be like for you but I expect we will get stock here sometime. Like I previously mentioned it seems to be a merch company called BSIMERCH.
(Reload, reload, dang why no 'email me when in stock' option!)
Slightly surreal, the UK NIN store has had added to it TGWTDT and Ghosts deluxe; both marked "sold out" but I don't think they've ever been for sale via this store. I wonder if they were just added for completion's sake.
The fact that Cargo in the Blood's price went from $300, to $250, and back to $300 again in less than 24 hours actually makes me really bitter for some reason. It's still unavailable, but...like, what, did Jerry from accounting just not have his shit together or something? If the price never changed, I wouldn't bat an eye, but come on, dude. Now I don't even WANT the fucker.
God dammit. These online store growing pains.
I'm going to guess the AV slipmat looks a bit like this one https://i.redd.it/ah9gzi9uuvlz.jpg
More inventory at the store right now. Go get that slipmat!
I was able to pick up the AV vinyl at my local record shop, just north of Toronto (Sunrise Records at Vaughan Mills Mall). In fact, they had all 6 of the available titles in stock:
AV: $24.99
NTAE: $23.99
TDS: $39.99
Broken $29.99
TF: $49.99
Deviations $99.99
and CD copies of NTAE for $8.99.
Prices are in Canadian dollars, so after exchange rates are considered, it pretty much evens out. No ridiculous shipping fees. No 7-10 day wait. All copies were pristine, not a bent spine or cracked corner in the lot.
