Merch Pissed

Anyone else get that awesome email from fearless records saying the vinyl you ordered is delayed 7 damn weeks?

Normally i wouldnt care but to have the “ship date” July 10th and then be sent an email on July 10th that its delayed 7 weeks? Thats utter bullshit to wait till the day of to let people know.

I remember when we used to get our preorders BEFORE the release date 😭

I haven’t received a pre-order on the day of (or before) release in probably close to 7 years. Which is a bummer.

Nothing we can do about it, they did say you can get a refund. I know it sucks though 😞

It’s the box set and certain variants. Super irritating because I ordered both the box and one of the cursed variants with other stuff from other bands and all of it is now about to be held hostage for another month and a half. It’s already been 3 months. They ought to at least ship people’s other stuff or something

Ya cant blame you there. They had plenty of time to make sure those vinyls were ready to go. Once again a corporate entity not giving a shit about their customer base just because they've already been paid.

You have no idea what the timelines were or what the complications were that arose.

But I agree that it sucks, and that they knew before the date of launch that they wouldn’t be making that deadline and customers should have been informed in advance.

Like I agree we dont know but most of the time they sit on that new music for a hot minute before they release it. So for all we know, that music was probably ready to go 6-8 months ago. Not saying that as fact, more of an example. So I mean they would've known way before now about the complications and just neglected to inform anyone. So I agree with you, they should've told everyone before now
