Jeri C, I think ANALORD wasn't even touched by a computer ... but still need confirmation |

"I spent 7 hours on the phone to royal mail yesterday, spoke to 16 people! They were ready last Friday, hopefully tomorrow, up to royal mail but I am busting a gut and you have our empathy, don't worry... Be excited :) As mentioned in the mailout, problems every step of the way, cottage industry vs. international corporations for ya! Apologies.." i don't understand this...is he negotiating or what? |
||||||||

I think he's arranging the posting of so many parcels all at once and seeing how to go about it. I don't envy that task as a) Royal Mail are fucking useless twats. b) I'm lazy and want my analord. |

I have never had a single issue with UPS or DHL. Why Royal Mail? durrrrrr. |
||||||||

If you're a business, other couriers are fine. If you're getting something shipped to a home address, royal mail best IMO. Reasons: 1. Consistantly put "we tried to deliver a parcel for you" slips through the door. 2. Pick up points are near to most people- I've never had to go more than 3 miles, from any address, to collect a parcel. Compared to 20 miles with some couriers, that's a big bonus. 3. It's usually not battered to pieces when it arrives (DHL and Citylink have both knackered things sent to me, royal mail never has). That's not to say royal mail are flawless- they're slow, overpriced and prone to "lose" things. Personally, I reckon a lot of "losing" things are pikey postmen stealing them, but there you go. |

hmm, but there's like 1000 pieces, 2000 at best...im sure even royal mail can deal with that. is no one using conventional mail in uk anymore?? first they close it down for like two weeks and then they're having troubles sending out 1000 parcels?? even the post offices in the uncivilized world (here) do that without a problem...i hope someone gets it by tomorrow and puts it on slsk coz it's killing me!!! |

Do we know how many were available before they sold out? I ordered pretty late. Can I look at my reference number and tell if I'll be getting anal... ? |
||||||||
|

Me too, I have been consitently late for work this week as I have waited for the postman every bloody morning after what Grant said. Balls!!!!!!!! |

Maybe B2B is better with couriers which is what I usually use and not one complaint: good service and quick. Perhaps you are right that RM is better for bulk mailing though. Seems odd that the couriers don't grab this slice of the market though. Surely there is a stack of cash to be made here. |

Royal mail used to do "normal" post- letters, bills etc. at close to cost and make their money from shipping parcels. Consequently, we've seen several couriers spring up that deal exclusively in parcels and hence, can undercut royal mail by quite a considerable margin. As a result, it wouldn't suprise me if 2000 parcels going through one small (local to rephlex HQ) post office caused some disruption. I'm not one for state sponsored capitalism, nor vehemently anti-privitisation on principle, but the mail is one thing that should of definately stayed centralised with government, IMO. Erm, Back on topic: Have the delays with this release (10) been purely down to the binder/mailing them out yourselves? More importantly, can we expect 1-9 to be on time? Also, can you confirm there will indeed be 10 releases in total? You're not going to skip any numbers or add any in, eg analord 9a, analord 9b on different records etc. Are there 10 spaces in the wallet, or space for 10 proposed releases? Eg are some releases going to span 2 discs? |

wasn't it being pressed on demand? it would be pretty shitty to send a confirmation e-mail and then you'd still not know whether you'd actually get anything. |

WHAT A FUCKIN MESS |

The Royal Mail really is a joke. I blame them entirely for my lack of anal. |

Do we actually have a concrete "Yes" to the question, "Has Analord left Rephlex HQ?", yet? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Are we going to continue recieving answers to these questions? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

<--- 136 exactly , has it left!??? damnit i need it , my durg purchasing/intake this weekend revolves around it |
||||||||

he is on the phone with royal mail. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

i dont reall understand how it would take over a week to arrange for royal mail to pick up the reords , bearing in mind it is going out in two batches anyway. at this rate grant could've driven around in a lorry around the UK and dropped them all off. then upsd the rest. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
still i guess RM are pretty iffy ... i would've gladly paid a quid or two more for ups. |

anything new phobia? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
why don't you go pick it up? ;) i have a feeling that tonight we will get an email saying they have been shipped today |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
when you think about it, normally you get those ?dispatched' emails at the time they send them out not when the post office sends them forward. that must mean rephlex still haven't send them out... :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you dont get one! Santa knows if you are naughty or nice and grant has connections with santa |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it wouldn't surprise me not to get one..not after all this shit i had to say about rephlex :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Careful! They know who you are! oooooooooo! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
now when i think about it, i used my other email to order it (not tolstoyed one) so maybe they don't know..although i sure if they really wanted to, they would found out real quick, as i don't think anyone else from overhere ordered it :) |
||||||||

sweet jesus my english is getting worse with every post.. |

Is this a Caustic Window record or a Bjork record? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
there you said it, 'normally'. they could have send 'em out allright, but not mailed the customers yet. the email from last friday said that they will DEFINITELY ship this week (for what it's worth) |

What is the Analord series comparable to, music-wise? |

What's teh difference between Analord and Oralord? One make your whole day and one makes your hole weak. No wait.... |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
lol |

|
|

excellent, can we get a music sample now? 10 seconds maybe? |

I'd like to know some of Ceri's questions: Also, can you confirm there will indeed be 10 releases in total? You're not going to skip any numbers or add any in, eg analord 9a, analord 9b on different records etc. Are there 10 spaces in the wallet, or space for 10 proposed releases? Eg are some releases going to span 2 discs? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
actually I'd like to trim it down and ask: How many slots are in the binder for holding records, and/or will the binder reflect on how many records will be released in this series? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ahh, it's always nice to see a bit of analogue equipment on a record. Looks like Dickie is pushing the tempo to the maximum, even though the knob is missing... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
is that a hair on the board? |
||||||||
|
|
