Also, I don't know how you guys packages were packed, but mine came in an old TMR mailer with no extra protection, offcourse it had corner dings! :x

Kind of upset about this situation!
Oh no!
What was inside the package and can you post detailed duane list with item name and price?
That sucks

There were some pieces of cardboard inside, but that doesn't protect the corners of the lp, those TMR mailers do!

Sea of cowards SPLIT_COLOR (12" VINYL) value 50.00 USD
BTW IMPORT BELGIE/ TVA IMPORT BELGIQUE 15.22 EUR
FORMALITEITEN/FORMALITES 10.00 EUR

I've sent an email to TMR but they're on holidays...

Hmmm seems that in this case they just declared the real value of the record.
In Jamie's parcel they accidentally typed the wrong value making it see it cost double than it actually did.

My first 2 items I received from the Refresh sale were packed in a LP box with extra cardboard(did not allow for any movement at all) then this was inside a larger LP box with bubble wrap around the smaller box inside it, This was for my White stripes Split and the Karen Elson Peach. Now I received an extra 2 days ago that I have contacted TMR about but it came in only the larger LP box I described and a few extra pieces of cardboard. I could shake this one or it would rattle around the whole time in the shipment but I found it wierd that products from the same sale(even the same item) were shipped in different packages?

seems like I got the second type of box, no bubble wrap and only one box...

My Dex B&B came in a regular brown mailer but it arrived fine. The Absinthe came in two mailers with loads of cardboard and took me 5 minnutes to cut through the inch thick parcel tape.

+1 on my Absinthe. Took a while to break through the packing!

+1 Mine looked like it could survive a car running over it. It was not an easy feat to open it up. I hate that tape with the threads through it, it's a pain to get open.

FAK was my first Tri I bought... for $100 from the mojo chair... not my favorite Blue Series single but definitely one of my favorite bands to record at TMR. Killer live show too!

I've been refreshing for weeks now and haven't won a damn thing. When does this thing end?
