I've bought about 100 discs from Vocalion and I've never received a cracked disc. They'll fix it. Just get in touch with them about this.

I sent them an email with pictures earlier today and I hope to hear back soon. I’m in NY so I believe they are 4 hours ahead of me.
So it's the disc and not the case?
That would be a rare occurrence; if so, was the case smashed to smithereens by your postal carrier?

The disc and one the hinges on the insert that holds the cds was cracked and dislodged. It could’ve been that way before being shipped. Over the decades of buying physical media, I’ve seen damage due to shipping, CDs and Blu-ray’s missing from the packaging and wrong discs in sealed product. It just happens sometimes
While rare that can happen on occasion. I recall seeing a video of the inside of a postal station where they were literally tossing the packages into the sorting bins! Amazing that every shipment is not damaged!
For a brief while I was getting CD's shipped to me without the jewel box. Shipping was very inexpensive that way. Eventually it came back to bite me, as the disc arrived broken. Likewise I prefer when CDs are shipped in cardboard mailers rather than padded envelopes, much less chance of breakage.

I definitely agree! Discs shipped in a cardboard box is the best, though it's seems hard for many sellers/businesses to totally comprehend why.
BTW, I recently received an order from DV of 7 titles..... No cracks, no damage of any sort.
Well, so much for GOS's rule on even number of discs!

It can be even worse than padded envelopes. A “Prime” example, just got in the lovely new 2L BD/SACD of Tuvayhun from Amazon. It’s one of those nice thick wide hinge SACD cases. Of course the case was cracked on the front, because they shipped it in a whisper thin plastic bag and threw it down on my concrete porch.
As long as I go with a GOS’ even number, DV shipments are usually fine. They’re just standard CD cases but why take a chance, by not going even numbers with how rough the postal carriers can be on stuff.
I dared to challenge GOS’s Theorem Of Even Numbers by ordering 9 CDs in my last batch. Let’s see what happens. Pray for them.
GOS's is a Theorem not a Law so there will be outliers.
I have had 100% success subscribing to it myself.
And yes, I am quite digging Azteca.

I only ordered 3 SACD's from the Vocallion Sept releases - shipped across the pond, and all arrived in perfect condition in Arizona. Matter of fact, I don't ever recall having any broken cases from them, which hasn't been the case with local shipments from Amazon.
I'll just leave these historical photos here.

Me mind grows feeble just thinkin' about it. Don't know anything about anything, just wishful dreaming.a Rufus Quad DV 2-fer would absolutely blow my tiny mind!!!

However, I did receive all of 'my precious' 8 DV order.
Just need lots of time to wallow in their glorious rapture!
I ordered a bunch of stuff, including two of the latest ones, from DV, on Sept 28. It arrived in the USA, specifically South Carolina, today.

The Friends of Distinction quads of Grazin' & Real Friends is very nice. This copy of Grazin' In The Grass easily bests the version on the mostly great 2016 comp from Audio Fidelity.

Gotta say I think the jewel of the September releases may be the Kristofferson quads. The stories he told on those albums are greatly served by the four channel mixes. I'm saying this as a first time listener of Kris. I only know him from Blade and a few other things, obviously Bobby and Janis. Cisco Pike is a movie I need to get back into and it's sitting on my shelf.
