where is my download of LP???

[bronxapostle]

forgive me; i myself HATE extraneous threads. so, now that i have learnt how to delete, i will. but...as i am going to tomorrow's show and would prefer hearing the lp at least once before, I'M JONESING!!! have most in America received an email of full lp download by now? i only have the initial three songs that were sent with receipt of purchase immediately after payment....wah!!!!!!!

Last I heard the rest of the download link will be e-mailed to purchasers on Tuesday.

[bronxapostle]

F%&#...see the price you pay when you DON'T work for a leak!!

I hope they're geared up for a midnight e-mail, or at least by early Tuesday morning!

Hey, since nationalransom.com says that the CD and LP will both ship to arrive on the "street date", it occurs to me: is the street date for the LP the same as for the CD? I see some online shops listing it as the 16th? I know that when I check my order status my vinyl has not shipped yet.

(As long as I get my download on time, I don't mind-- but I'm just curious if that's the deal with those of us who ordered the LP, that we'll really be getting it a couple weeks from now...)

My vinyl copy has shipped. In fact it's out for delivery today according to the USPS tracking.

There is one odd thing though. If you're using the email receipt from Elvis Costello.com, the tracking information won't show up.

The only way I found out that the album was being shipped and on its way was by following the link in the email from customerservice@ISERVEDCS.COM

Spoke too soon. I got the t-shirt and the CD, when I ordered the vinyl. Not sure if should open the cd since i may have to return it.

Waiting for a response from customer service.

The t-shirt is pretty nice though.

just received email about national ransack, but there was no active link for the download. argh!

Looks like the vinyl copies will be arriving later that the "street date."

I just got the following note:

If your order includes physical product, CDs, T-shirts and Lithographs have begun shipping. If they have not arrived already, they will arrive shortly - please allow for variations in shipping time. Due to overwhelming demand we've had to up our Vinyl quantities and they will begin shipping at the end of this week.

Note: if you ordered the Deluxe with Vinyl or Limited Edition package, and receive a shipment without the Vinyl LP the record will ship to you seperately and at no additional shipping cost to you.

I asked if I should return the cd and they said that due to a shipping error, some of the people who ordered the deluxe vinyl package got the cd and the vinyl will be shipped seperately. Which is great cause I was going to eventually buy the cd.

It seems like it was a Brilliant Mistake!

My download arrived at 7pm monday night (I am in Los Angeles), you my want to check your spam folder as that is where mine was. No seperate artwork for the EP.
Are they really shocked at the demand for the vinyl version?
Happy listening!
