I ordered Cirith Ungol (Forever Black) on vinyl.

They sent me an album by a group named Watain (Lawless Darkness)

I ordered American Heavy Metal and got Swedish Black Metal.

I ended up keeping it and ordered Cirith Ungol again.

Today it arrived but it was not Cirith Ungol, it was Penny and Sparrow (Finch).  I have no idea who that is.

Dude.  I ended up ordering it off Ebay and am returning the bird album.

WTF?

Check the listing.  Was it "Fulfilled by Amazon" or by an independent seller through Amazon?

I've had a couple of "oops, sorry, we lost your package and we'll make it right" non-deliveries from Amazon over the last month.  They haven't yet. 

Funny what happens when the whole supply chain is interrupted.

Had a similar thing happen with the rhino.com webstore. 2/3 made it, the third one, “shipment cancelled?”

The thing is, I’m not sure Rhino would have notified me if I hadn’t struck first. The LP is supposed to be on the way now.

Strange indeed!

I suggest you send a Thank You note to Amazon thanking them for the promotional material and ask when to expect the items you ordered.

Now Ebay.  LOL.

I ordered Celtic Frost To Mega Therion and Received Morbid Tales.

It was delayed to begin with understandably since it was coming from Seattle.

Amazon story (PRE COVID).

January 2019: new Kohler bathtub care instructions recommended the old cleanser, Bon Ami.  Search everywhere locally and not available.  Order it from Amazon.  Receive one dozen small wind-up chatter teeth, packaged exactly like this (i.e., for retail sale in my... bodega?):

On contact, we were told to keep the chatter teeth and they would ship the Bon Ami.  Eventually got it in.

March 2019: order a new vacuum cleaner.  Receive a vacuum-sized box, but inside were two of these:

Heb10b0ff012945118e9b684a39e270bai.jpg

"What's that," you ask?  I had no idea - turns out they (2) were self-healing cutting mats for quilters.  Contact Amazon and they instruct me to keep the cutting mats (cost around $60 compared to the $10 in chatter teeth) and they would send the vacuum.  A couple of weeks later they send the vacuum.  A couple of weeks after that I get an email informing me if I didn't return the first vacuum (aka, cutting mats) they were going to charge my card.  After much wailing and gnashing of teeth, I finally received an email rescinding the return order.

I had a whale of a time finding someone to give the cutting mats to.  I have retained the dozen chatter teeth for an event yet to be imagined.  

ETA: I am a Prime member - I can't imagine the service received by the "riff-raff." 😄

Those cutting mats aren't cheap.  My son uses them for some of his artwork.

EXTREMELY high quality.  I couldn't believe they told me to just keep them.  The pack rat in me definitely wanted to keep them (for something), but I found some local quilters who were glad to get them (and use them).

This is occupying space in my brain now.
I do know I want to be part of a scenario where one would require a dozen chattering teeth.

Perhaps to stop the wife/girlfriend from nagging?

Open your steel-trap mind, bro. Dis shitz poetry:

”Frost and Fire”—Cirith Ungol

The tales that speak of frost and fire
The Frost Monstreme and the Fire Divine
The frost preserves and the fire destroys
Like pouring rain on the sands of time

I feel it burning and I feel the freeze
The frost, the fire, it burns inside of me

The tales that speak of frost and fire
The guardian angels and the demons of night
The power preserves and the Beast will destroy us
Like gathering darkness in the circle of light

I feel it burning and I feel the freeze
The frost, the fire, it burns inside of me, yeah

I feel it burning and I feel the freeze
The frost, the fire, it burns inside of me

The tales that speak of frost and fire
Tales of all the souls that fell
Words that burn and words that chill us
Like laughter kinding in the heart of Hell

I feel it burning and I feel the freeze
The frost, the fire, it burns inside of me
It burns inside of me, it burns inside of me

That is because Swedish Heavy Metal hits harder. It's better for you. 

 

edit: I was talking to a guy who toured with Watain in Australia. Upon arrival the band bought all this raw flesh and meat and skins and stuff to put on stage, as they could not bring their own props due to import restrictions and what have you. After the shows the just threw it in the back of the van. At the end of the tour the it was kinda moving by itself because of all the maggots and stuff. And the smell, he said. Haha, these guys are 4 real.

I have all the Cirith Ungol albums now.  Yeah, the lyrics can be a little cheesy and the vocals are not perfect but they have some really cool guitar work.  Interesting sounds.
