"Within" vinyls expected to ship out on August 28th due to manufacturing delay
"Dear Protest the Hero Pre-Orderers
If you're receiving this message, it's because our records indicate that your order includes a copy of Within on vinyl.
First and foremost, thank you for your order. Releasing this album independently has been a massive undertaking, and the support you've shown has meant a great deal to both the band and everyone here at Sheet Happens.
We're writing to let you know that we've had to be flexible with our shipping timeline due to an unexpected manufacturing delay.
Our pressing partner was forced to temporarily shut down production after experiencing an unprecedented heatwave. Unfortunately, that downtime affected their manufacturing schedule and, in turn, the production timeline for Within.
The good news is that the records are now scheduled to go on press shortly. Based on the latest information from the plant, we expect them to arrive at our warehouse within a few weeks after pressing. As soon as they land, our team will begin packing and shipping orders as quickly as possible.
Our anticipated ship date of August 28 still looks like a realistic starting point for getting orders out the door. That said, it's important to keep in mind that there are a lot of orders to work through, and it will take some time to pack and ship each one safely and securely. If we're able to accelerate that timeline, you can bet we will. Keep an eye on your inbox, as you'll receive a tracking notification as soon as your package ships.
We know many of you have been eagerly waiting for these records, and we're just as excited to finally get them into your hands. We sincerely apologize for the delay and truly appreciate your patience while we work through the final stretch.
We'll continue to keep you updated if anything changes.
The Sheet Happens Publishing Team"
