Not The Actual Events

[nowimnothing]

I am in Melbourne Australia @tony.parente and I expect to receive the physical component sometime around 2020.

[Microwave Jellyfish]

It's here. Not up for screwing around with it tonight, but I'm really glad.

It came from a distribution center in Leicester, close to the place I used to live for some of the craziest months of my life. I feel like framing the envelope itself, no joke.

[wight rabbit]

I received mine today. It wasn't as Spoiler: messy as I anticipated, but it still Spoiler: got my hands dirty. I definitely want to find a way to frame all of it. It's a cool assortment.

I spent my workday messing around with the Branches/Bones sheet and there's a few mistakes on the lyrics- a couple of "well"s swapped into spots instead of "yeah"s, "just be a man" has been changed to "be just a man", additional "anymore" at the end instead of ending on "care", and "infinite" and "flies" are both misspelled. Instead of "and infinite with" we have "/and/in/nite/with" and instead of "the flies away" we have "the/ies/away"
Honestly playing around with the hope of finding extra somethings with this, but all in all could totally just be a bunch of variations on things to really muddle stuff up in the same vein of not the actual events. At any rate it's proving to be a fun distraction for me lol

That's not uncommon for Trent. "The Beginning of the End" has noticeable differences in the recorded version than what is listed on the lyrics sheet. He probably prefers to record his vocals in a more improvised manner after writing them so that any changes he makes gives the song a more "in the moment" feel.

You and me both, if that makes you feel any better.

that does, actually. Have you got a tracking number or anything?

Mine came in St Paul MN today

I paid with Paypal, so I don't have an order status link, I don't have a nin.com account, and I don't have a tracking number.


Buuuuuuuuut I did receive my envelope today.

[Space Suicide]

Buuuuuuuuut I did receive my envelope today.

So did I. I felt special getting an envelope in the mail with the title Nine Inch Nails in the top left corner haha.

[FULLMETAL]

Sigh. It's nice that folks have been sharing pictures while we wait for our envelopes to arrive. Still no love in the middle part of Florida. I'm guessing it will arrive tomorrow or Monday.

Are those of you that are receiving the physical component- did you contact the company and tell them to ship separately from your vinyl purchases- are you those guys? Or is it just time for us all to get theirs? I never contacted them so I don't know if it's just gonna show up or ship with my vinyl in April or whenever or never.

Gotcha. I was going to say "I'm in the same boat".. Then I saw the last part of the post.. However, you're in Philly, I'm Pittsburgh..so hopefully it's making its way over from the Eastern side!

3 components on eBay starting in the $80 range

[ryanmcfly]

DHL transferred mine to USPS on Wednesday in a city that isn't too far from the one I live in. Still waiting.

I think the original plan was for them to screw the ones who bought the component with a preorder item and make them wait till when the vinyl shipped. Enough people seemed to complain to the point to where all the components have been shipped on Friday regardless if they were part of a larger order. That being said you didn't get a shipping confirmation or email from firebrand unless you ordered it separate. So any mention of a confirmation being sent was a lie.

Anyways I opened a ticket requesting a shipping confirmation since they told me 4 times they would send one and they eventually gave me my tracking number.

I ordered separate and did not get a notification. I just noticed my order was fulfilled, after creating an account with the email I purchased with.

The tracking number in my order didn't work, so I contacted firebrand and asked for a new one. They replied back within 30 min with a valid number, this was yesterday. It showed that DHL dropped it to USPS yesterday, and it arrived today. Weird some people are getting shipping notifications and most aren't.

Haha well shit, I guess people just randomly get notifications and other people don't.

Thank you for the info. I appreciate it.

I ordered my Physical Component in the same order as my Fragile Deviations LP. I did not contact anyone about my order.

[hellospaceboy]

So... I got a text from my wife that the component arrived today. I was so stoked, but only to come home and find this:



It's hard to see but my mailman bent the envelope when he shoved it into my mailbox, and now it has a pretty big wrinkle in it. I haven't opened it, but I'd be SHOCKED if the cards don't all have it.
The mailer envelope doesn't say DO NOT BEND, however, even if it wasn't a collectable item, but I don't know, a nice postcard, a wedding invitation, etc... it would be still shitty.

@Toadflax since no one answered you, they're 6"x9" which doesn't seem to be a very common frame size

404. That’s an error.
The requested URL was not found on this server. That’s all we know.

[Ryan Tollefson]

Same thing here. Sound like you didn't make the link "available to anyone". So no one can see but you.

My component was in my mailbox when I arrived home. Oh so physically.

Seems like there's still some tomfoolery going on...

I received my first Physical Component which was a separate order from the beginning, but did not receive the second one (part of a larger order).

[[parasite]]

these quite a few on ebay now!

For me it's the opposite. I received one component three days ago. I first ordered one together with the ntae vinyl and later I ordered two components at once separately. Not logical.

[curbes]

as soon as I get my Physical Component (next week hopefully) I will put it on ebay too...
