I have not received the discbox or any notification of shipment or delay. I sent them an email an hour ago and received the following reply...

Off topic slightly, I noticed the vinyl is 45rpm is there a reason for that ? Is it better than 33 rpm ?

Yes, the theory is that, at a faster speed, more information can be stored in the groove. Sort of like using a high film speed--when you slow it down, it looks smooth.

Overseas shipping takes time; the promise was to ship the items on or before December 3rd, not to have them arrive on or before then. As of Monday, Dec. 17, the packages will have been in the mail for roughly 10 business days.

I received mine yesterday! Yeah for holiday delivery schedules! Canadapost will deliver on Saturdays during this mad rush. I haven't listened yet, but I will put aside a couple hours tonight to do so, after I shovel the 2 ft of snow. Yes. 2 ft.

Mine arrived yesterday afternoon. Anyone who's familiar with art books and packaging would probably assume that the Discbox cost more than $80 shipped. I really dig the design--rainbow inner artwork juxtaposed with a black and white hard outer sleeve.

The custom-cut edges on the records make them a little more difficult to put back into the folds than typical square sleeves, but that's my only complaint.
