There should be a private Mats concert for people who were stiffed by Rhino shipping to make up for it!

Got mine today from Import CDs. They have it for only $36.95. I figured why pay another $30 for a frickin' cassette that only has an interview on it. Not to mention the complete, utter shit show with their shipping. It's a really nice package. Very pleased that I picked it up.

Well i took my chances and avoided Rhino. I was hoping the indie stores would get the Cassette as they did for DMP. Unfortunately they didn't, but they did have a promotional hand buzzer! Haven't gotten into it but it's beautiful. I wouldn't worry about the cassette. You can pick-up the DMP cassette on Discogs or Ebay for about $10 now. I'll bet you can get the PTMM interview cassette in the same fashion in a few months relatively cheap. I can't believe more folks didn't avoid Rhino this time around.

Got this today:
Thank you for your pre-order of an exclusive bundle offered with the deluxe edition of Pleased to Meet Me by The Replacements. All pre-orders have been shipped from our warehouse via UPS Mail Innovations. This delivery method combines UPS for the majority of service, with USPS delivering the last leg to the final destination.
Any delays and/or errors in tracking are due to the effect of the pandemic slowing down delivery times. (Please note that in some cases, tracking information will not be available until the item is delivered.)
We apologize for the delay and inconvenience. We’d like to offer you the following 10% off coupon code to the Rhino store, as a thank you for your patience (some restrictions may apply):
Sincerely,
Rhino Customer Service

^^^^^^^^^^^
Got the same email this evening. Oh well, not in a hurry, as long as it gets here. But every other company and industry, shipping has been A LOT better than Rhino this time around. I was satisfied with Dead Man's Pop shipping

Well, that makes 3 of us, just got the same email, 6 days after they claimed it's "on the way". I doubt I'll use the 10% off coupon as I'm probably never going to order directly from Rhino again. I would have thought that by ordering directly from the source rather than say Amazon, that I'd get it faster. Wrong again.

Ok.. great. Lots of complaints about Rhino’s shipping. Let’s cut to what matters.., who has the box set and what do you think of it? How does it compare with the Dead Man’s Pop set?

This Jimmy Iovine mix of “Can’t Hardly Wait” is... awesome! Subtly different from Dickinson’s, maybe a bit drier and punchier. Just... refreshing. The drums get the limelight this time around.

Finally..."In Transit" on my UPS tracking, scheduled delivery on Friday. Congratulations! Since I seem to be getting the same updates as you, only later in the day, so I'm hoping I get a similar update this afternoon, mine's still saying "shipment ready for UPS". Ugh!

Mine says Sunday. Using the multi-carrier service they use, that might be the date it lands at your local USPS (from UPS), then USPS takes another day or 2 (or more) to get it to your door.
I doesn't really matter that much to me, I have such a constant influx of new music coming in, and I can appreciate that a pandemic has some affect on these things, but in this case the whole Covid excuse is just horseshit. Every record store had it by Friday, everyone who ordered from ANYONE other than Rhino had it by Friday, and promo copies were floating around a month ago, so they just saved the people who'd already paid for last, which probably makes the most sense financially, but least sense morally. I guess I'll get 10% off the Tim Deluxe Box next year.

Took a chance and ordered from PopMarket last week since it was 20 bucks cheaper than Rhino. It has shipped and tracking has it being delivered by Monday. Maybe an option if someone hasn't ordered it yet.

Sunday and Monday don't look so bad my notice says Wednesday estimated delivery, it shipped yesterday and was ordered July 16. I have Amazon HD streaming service so I got to hear it last week so not the end of the world for me. But geez how hard is it Rhino to get it to UPS?
