Mine came, its a little banged up but not horrible, and yes haha the lazy signature. Now i feel me and my mister need a better record player, any suggestions?

There was a decent one, on sale for $50 at Guitar Center. Let me search for linkage and see if they're still running it.

I've heard the Numarks are decent for the price. Looks like the sale was only Black Friday. They had 2, one was $80, the other $100. Hope that helps. I don't have a small one anymore. Just a big studio one.

I think Christmas Tree Factory had retro turntables for around $50 as well. Not sure what stores are around you. Good luck.

Cool thanks, my mister has over 70 Dolly Parton records to my 6 Jewel ones :/

We have a Sony,one and it works great! Look out for the phony ones that have headphone jacks, if you know what I mean. They're everywhere this time of year.

If it makes you feel any better, I have a minimum of 2 vinyl copies of every Fleetwood Mac album, some rare ones with misprints, and I think I probably have over 20 copies of just, Rumours - combining, reel-to-reel, 8 track, vinyl (I think 10 are on vinyl) and cd, plus the remasters.

I'm slacking on my Jewel vinyl. I must remedy that!

My studio one, is a Sony. Nothing beats a Sony. They were the first with this sort of equipmet. They have my heart. Last I looked, I thought they were mega expensive. Did they do a price drop?

I'll have to creep Sony ones now, thanks ladies!

I think we paid around 100-150 for our turntable. We already had a proper receiver and speakers and all, and all that stuff is what really sets you back, as I'm sure you know

Ugh, yes i forgot about speakers and what nots

So I received no answers on any of my 3 emails. But today I received a stadard shipment update.

I can't believe it...the shipped it with USPS again, after it they turn it over to the dutch mail it is not trace-able anymore.

I hope they updated my adress with the housenumber this time, otherwise it will be lost for sure...
Why not send it with Fed-ex again? I'm afraid because they processed this standardly, that gives me a bad feeling about shipping it together with the Greatest Hits vinyl record as well...
It doesn't have to go wrong, but the chance it does increased pretty big...

So I send a 4th mail to them

, I don't think they will answer this one as well, but I'll wait again. First and last time I ordered at this shop, too bad for my collection.

But hey...it's weekend!!!

Enjoy yours everybody, I will enjoy mine for sure, this tiny matter won't change that.

Jessica · « **Reply #150 on:** December 04, 2015, 10:04:49 AM »

Oh no! Fingers crossed that it works out! I would imagine they'd update the address since the updated the order to include both vinyls.

I got a message back. The added the housenumber and both records were shipped together. track and trace learns that the parcel has arrived in my country. so far so good. But the last time it also reached this far, it's the last step that worries the most. So far so good. We'll wait and see.

Javo · « **Reply #152 on:** December 05, 2015, 11:19:55 AM »

According track & trace the attempted to deliver today, but the parcel was refused...not by me or my family we were at home and we did not see anybody. Because it is refused it is returned to sender. International help by USPS is not possible, you can only reach them if you fill in an amaerican adress. so I tried USPS twitter, I also informed the Jewel Store. This is typical I was just waiting for something to happen.

I was all excited to see that they shipped together and then read the ast bit about the failed delivery attempt. I get that here in the states, as well. It amounts to some - not all - but some of the USPS carriers being lazy about taking parcels in their trucks for delivery. Especially, around Christmas time.

I'm having a guitar shipped via Fed Ex, and the tracking is seriously, lacking. It's not the sender's fault - but so frustrating.

Hang in there, Javo. I'm going to dig deep down into my bag o enthusiasm and faith and say it's the season for miracles. I hope the magic of Sinterklaas, gets your parcel to you.

It is definitve going back to the USA. But after a long private conversation with the helpdesk of USPS and phoning the Dutch Post I think I know what the problem is.
USPS has a label with a track and trace-code. the housenumber was not omitted on the label, the information from USPS to the Dutch post doesn't go automatically, so it happens manually, or at least by photoing the label. When there is no housenumber it gets automaically shipped to housenumber 1. That's what happened Saturday.

Saturday and Sunday the customer service of dutch post wasn't reachable. Sunday the parcel was already returned to customs, the returnprocess can't be intercepted anymore. So this parcel will go back. Now I'm waiting for an answer from the store again how they're gonna solve this. I hope they send it with Fed-ex, with them I can phone during the process and manage. (even though they did loose one of the parcels from thet shipment with book cd and shirt)

to be continued...

With all the technology on this planet, this is hard to fathom. Yet, as I sit here and wait for a Fed Ex package...it's not.

That freaking SUCKS man.

I received mail from the Jewel store, Last friday they already send a new one with USPS....at least I think, because it's not a reply or anything, it's just a new USPS tracking code no more information (Friday is a day before I noted things were gone wrong again, so this makes no real sense).

One and a half hours a go I receive a mail from the store (this was a reply) they will send another with fed-ex.
Now I'm wondering, are there 2 new parcels on the way...while the old one is still on the way back.
I asked also for the Fed-ex track and trace, I hope they will let me know.

I don't think I'll ever buy anything at the shop again, they lost my trust. I'm sure it will all end fine just like the last time, but their communication and their way of solving things are deeply bad for days long and then for a day it goes sky high again. and you never know what it will be.

I actually got a random "order update" email a couple days ago that a package was shipped, but I hadn't bought anything. Well, I DID buy something around Black Friday, but I had already gotten my package before this new shipping email. I figure it's some kind of bug because there's nothing to track from the USPS number they gave me. I dunno. It's weird. Maybe that's the deal with this email you got?

Anyway, I really really hope you get your vinyls soon. I can't imagine how frustrating this whole thing has been.

And I don't blame you at all for not wanting to buy from the store again, unfortunately.

Second parcel from USPS is back to the USA as well. Dutch post could not find a valid adress (not complete enough) I had the track and trace number from PostNL in time, but they can't manage before it goes throught the international sort facility. So last night it went through so I called this morning immediately. but hey...they can't do anything after as well. so it is already send back...

Luckily the store is sending a 3rd package with Fed-ex as well...well...they send me a track and trace code. nothing shipped yet, just a label has been made. I'll give it an extra day and wait and see.

Maybe this will be a new Personal record and they will send a 4th one!
