Got your preorder?

[Admin]

Post here when your pre-ordered (with CCNow) copy has arrived. Let everyone know there on the way.

[ReelBigCohen]

Haha, nope I haven't got mine. I just got fed up and bought one for myself. It is much easier than waiting by the door for hours on end by ourselves!

[Marukosu]

I sent CCNow some emails…they BETTER get it to me! ~:(

[Admin]

I got a copy today I brought online, If/When the CCNow signed copy comes I will have 2… Can't have to much of a good thing… 😛

[Danny Smyth]

Being a broke college student, this means I'm going to have to wait… till I have money haha Or my band has a gig where I actually get paid.

[Admin]

I was going mad waiting for my copy, I feel for you.

[Robby]

Not yet!

[Blood-Hawk]

nope

[AlternativeBaby]

nope. i went out and bought it the day it came out anyway of course. but i want my signed copy damnit!
on myspace Aaron said cdnow cdnow decided to be cheap and send it slow as possible and it could take 6-8 weeks for delivery 🙁

[Big ****ing Fan]

I got mine on the 9th but i got mine from amazon and mine was not signed.

[mr.ska-tastic]

Coming into week 6 guys, it shouldn't be long now….

[skafan2987]

Has anyone gotten their CD yet? Like most everyone else here, I got caught up in this whole preorder fiasco. We're now into week 8 and I still haven't heard of anyone getting it yet.

[Marukosu]

nope…STILLLLL waiting

[Admin]

Still waiting here too…

[SkaBoss]

If the last email I got from them was true, I should be recieving it tomorrow, but with incompetence like this, I'm not expecting it.

[mr.ska-tastic]

I'm assuming your copy didn't come SkaBoss?

[SkaBoss]

Now how could you have ever guessed that?

[AlternativeBaby]

they said 6-8 weeksfor delivery but its definitley been more. what is going on now?

[beejnnoz04]

God hates those who pre-order.

[Reel Big Chris]

your order will be cancelled… i have spoken. goodnight.

[Desensitized]

No preorder, no copy, no shit.

[SkaBoss]

Still nothing. Jesus.

[Reel Big Chris]

i'm telling you… you may as well go buy a fucking copy. it's never gonna get there.

[AlternativeBaby]

yeah i bought it the day it came out anyway cuz i didn't wanna wait but i just want my signed copy, especially cuz i paid for it.

heres what rbf had to say about the whole thing:

For those of you who STILL haven't received your pre-ordered CDs after months of waiting, we really don't know what to say besides: we are extremely sorry about and horrified by this whole fiasco!!
We can't imagine where your albums are right now if they aren't in your hands and of course we can't get a straight answer from anybody about it either. Lame!
Soooooo I guess all we can say is we'll keep trying to find out exactly what went wrong and how and why!?? And if you want to try and cancel your order and get a refund because its been 2 months or more we completely understand and again appologize for the whole stupid situation.
And of course if your bummed that you never got an autographed CD, we are always available after the show near the tour bus area, we're always hangin' around so just give us a shout and we'll sign whatever ya want us to!
Thanks again for all your support everybody!!

Xoxoxox
RBF

[SkaBoss]

I think I'm probably going to cancel mine. This is too ridiculous.

[Reel Big Chris]

send them an email saying you don't want to cancel it and ccnow will cancel it for you! how considerate of them to read your mind!

Yep, they don't even read the e-mails they're sent.

"When am I getting my CD?"
"We have canceled your order via your request…"
"Wha?"

I just want to see how long this takes, I have my downloaded copy. I really want to see how long before these people figure out what they're doing.

[Reel Big Chris]

i'll give 2 to 3… months.

[Admin]

Why don't you just cancel the order and get it from somewhere else?

Are you fuckin' crazy or what?

[/quote1189043058]
In response to query 1, because I already have the songs. Also, I want to see how long this takes out of curiosity, and to see what the excuse is.

And query B, yes. Yes, I most certainly am. But you knew that, didn't you? 😉

[AlternativeBaby]

ok there is finally a solution!

if you pre ordered it and you still want it you have to send an email to this adress: mel@merchsales.com
tell her you ordered it and she'll get it to you.

[SkaBoss]

Thanks.

[Punk Rock Karl]

Got my response from Mel anyway. Say there re-sending them out this week and they will be signed, so we'll see…

[Desensitized]

Nope, nothing yet.

[Desensitized]

Still ain't got shit.

[mr.ska-tastic]

I got plenty of shit, just no CD

[AlternativeBaby]

no cd here either 🙁

[Desensitized]

Sigh…

[Admin]

Looking on the RBF Myspace some people have said they have just gotten theres so looks like they are finally starting to appear.

[jrock241]

I'm sure CCNOW is happy the other board is gone, hundreds of responses about how bad the company is can't be good for the company.

[Desensitized]

Still nothing.

[Bradleystp]

I finally wrote to CCNOW last week, and asked about the order. They just cancelled it without me asking them to.

Now people are getting it….2 days later. My luck sucks…

[AlternativeBaby]

wait. some people got it?

[The Wind]

[quote1193260981=Desensitized]

JD, want to help me with an article on this?

[Desensitized]

How so?

(Still nothing)

[Admin]

i got my copy.

….at fry's.

[jrock241]

People should start emailing small internet punk news websites and other junk to see if they'll do an article. Not to rip on RBF, just to slam CCNOW.

[The Wind]

[quote1193284305=Desensitized]

[/quote1193284305]
I got to publish my own E-zine for school, etc etc chose ska, long story short I want to do an article on this bullshit. E-mail interview good for you?

[Desensitized]

Sure.

j.desensitized@gmail.com if you need it.

[Olibu]

I still haven't got anything.

This is LUEser from the old boards.

[Samu]

Nothing at all. Wrote to Mel twice, second time I didn't get an answer. Fuck it.

[Admin]

You all DO know you're not gonna get it right?

[Admin]

You need to be emailing Vince Pileggi. I don't believe Mel is even with the company anymore.He's the bands manager and is dealing directly with it now. Here's his email: Vincentpileggi@aol.com

[The Wind]

OH thanks for that. He's already gotten back to me.

[Admin]

Just emailed him, thanks for the address.

I emailed Mel (a while ago) and got a response then tried to reply and got the message bounced back.

[mr.ska-tastic]

anyone know how fast the FedEx shipping will be (just got a reply from Vincent)

[Admin]

Mine was sent out today and estimated delivery is 2nd November. To the UK, should be quicker if you are in the US. You should of got a tracking number in the reply fron Vincent go to the fedex website and track it. 🙂

[Samu]

Vince just mailed me. Thanks Amy for giving me his address!

[AlternativeBaby]

yup vince just emailed me back too.
wow its starting to look like these things might actually come.

[Desensitized]

Just sent the e-mail cause I almost forgot about it.

[Olibu]

Wow, Vince/the band must have paid a lot for their FedEx shipping because I got mine today. Pretty nifty, but I won't be able to watch the DVD until tonight.

I also thought it was interesting that it had Matt Wong's and Derek's signatures.

[The Wind]

Yeah, I got mine yesterday after e-mailing him on Friday.

[SchillBox]

It's fucking bullshit we have to send an e-mail to get it…

[Admin]

Got mine today, shame the case is a bit cracked but i'll swap it with the one I brought a few weeks back.

Was expecting mine tomorrow as yesterday evening it was still in the US, was a nice surprise.

[Admin]

[AlternativeBaby]

got mine today. only 4 months late but ya know whatever.
2 day delivery though. that was nice.

Well, my friend didn't know anything about it until I told him. What are the people who never heard of this supposed to do?

[Admin]

Lets see here. You order the cd, the cd doesn't come….I have an idea, lets email the band's manager. You can google the bands name and I assure you, you'll find Vince Pileggi's name and an email address. I figured it would be common sense to go right to the source and cut out the middle man, but thats just how I use my common sense. Not everybody has it I guess. Is it really that hard?

[/quote1194013773]
Considering the average intelligence of an RBF/ska fan, I'd say it is. Also that not everyone would think to ask the band's manager, as if that was the case many of us would have done it long ago.

Only problem is, I'll never find out what prevented those CDs from shipping. 🙁

[Admin]

…and they never found out either. They had to get more cds, resign them, and reship everything via fed -ex. I'm sure this cost a shitload of money, and yet the mystery is unresolved and people are still complaining….even after getting the cd now. What else are they supposed to do?

[Admin]

[quote1194014866=mr.ska-tastic]

[/quote1194015723]
There's nothing else they can do. Short of posting another thing on their myspace about it, the problem on their end is solved. It's just bullshit that everyone (RBF and fans) got screwed over by this.

Hopefully one day we'll all find out.

But probably not.

[Admin]

meh, I'm done.

I like your little picture you just added to your sig JD. 🙂

[Desensitized]

And I just received my CD. Thank you, Vince.

[airmancoop44]

Just sent an email, I had almost forgotten about the CD.

[Samu]

Just got an answer from Vince. My 6 monkeys for nothin and 4 Live album are shipping tomorrow. wooooooooooooooooot!!!

I just hope ccnow gets to pay all of this, and not the band.

[The Wind]

I don't know if anyone noticed this, but all blog posts regarding the incident are no longer on their myspace.

[Samu]

!!! spooky…

[airmancoop44]

Mines finally on its way.
I wonder if I can cancel the order after I get it and get my money back… hmmm.

[Desensitized]

^Heh, awesome.

[Samu]

My cds left Indianapolis yesterday.

[Surly]

Ahh, glad you guys finally got it.

Looking back, I was really close to pre-ordering it, then realising I already have all the band's signitures, I thought, fuck it.

So glad I did that.

[madamadam]

Anything yet?

[Desensitized]

From my friend: 'Nope, nothing yet'

[madamadam]

Anything yet?

[The Wind]

Yes.

[Admin]

Really? That was fast.

[Samu]

My cds are in town! Hell yeah!

[Admin]

my cd is at best buy, along with my copy of the new streetlight album. i can't fucking wait till tuesday. 🙂

[Admin]

I guess that's the end of anything yet. :((

[Reel Big Chris]

i finally got my copy! 🙂

[airmancoop44]

Well, my plan worked. Got the cd, and will be getting a refund from CCNow within a week. Awesome.

[Admin]

Haven't asked for a refund, maybe I should? Could do with the cash for Xmas. But don't wanna fuck RBF over.

[Admin]

[quote1197298514=Admin]

[/quote1197298514]

That's exactly what that guy just did. Way to go fucker!

[Samu]

That's why I didn't ask for a refund.

By the way thank you Amy, withoout your advice I'd still be longing for my copy

which wouldn't have been signed because I actually ordered it two days after the deadline for getting signed copy. Better a signed one six months late or a plain one immediately?

[madamadam]

Nice.

[MAX!]

Andy, you can probably remove this from the Important threads section. Nobody has posted in seven months and I think everybody has got their copy.

[Desensitized]

Oddly enough it took me over 7 months to get my original copy.

[MAX!]

yeah, mine took almost that long

[Punk Rock Karl]

Got my copy but not my pre-order. I'm thinking about making them sign it at Warped Tour.

[MAX!]

All you have to do is email some guy (I think it was Vinc). I got mine no problem.

[Kamilla]

Yes I sent an email to Vince and got it quickly after that.

[Punk Rock Karl]

I sent an email, gosh, last year and they said it would be signed and delivered. It was some chick tho. I'm not worried about it now. But thanks!
