I personally think they ship in alphabetical order in accordance to your club name.


***Those of u who have received the box set already...please post the 1st letter of your club name.
lets see if there is a patteren here.***

I will post for my friend for she received hers and lives 10 minutes away from me...and i have yet to receive mine.

her club name begins with the letter "B"

pluv, i guess ur right, its kinda alphabet street, so the guy called "xenophobia" will never get his ona (damn, should b in zurich! as there is a great P party going on right now...) but i gotta stay home and wait 4 the UPS parcel 2 b sent (kidding big time) - as my name is asshole i should have received the box long time ago...

Pluv said:

Mine is "T" and i got mine a few days ago

Pluv said:

Don't think so because mine begins with "A", and I've yet to see it!

well alright then...there goes THAT theory

too bad too, it was a good theory!

Y would they ship based on ur fam-name? That doesn´t make sense. Ur full name & address is printed on the shipping label, ur fam name isn´t.

So they r just sending out the box sets at once in no particular order.

LOL were u expecting some sort of LOGIC to the business practices of the NPGMC?

Oh, well it makes SOOO much more sense for them to "send them all out at once in no particular order"! I know if I ran the club that would CERTAINLY be the most efficient way to do it.

The club is a total joke. As I've said before, the only reason I will join next year is if he comes near my town in concert next year, and I'll just look at it as a more expensive ticket for better seats. Other than the concert I saw, I'd say the club this year has been worth about...oh, let's be generous and say $15 to me, for ONA. A great CD. But I certainly have never bought a CD in a store that was more than $15 for slightly over 30 minutes of music, over half of which was already sold to me.

Seriously though, Jay, now I'm confused. Maybe I misinterpreted your post. Surely you're joking, right? I mean I really would like to hear you explain why Prince, a freaking millionaire MANY times over, charges $100 for the club, does not begin shipping 75% of the product until almost the very last month, and sends them out "all at once in no particular order." Oh, and get this! Though they use UPS, they will not supply tracking numbers. (Even though I contacted UPS, who said that a company is OBLIGATED to divulge this information). Not to mention the fact that I never received the e-mail about it being shipped, and since I changed my address, I don't know which one they are shipping (or have shipped?) it to.

You may suggest that I send a polite e-mail to the club...well, I've sent a few over the last week, all RIDICULOUSLY polite (because I really wanted an answer), and as of today none of them have been answered.

well there is some type of method...
my friend in Washington DC who lives 10 minutes away from me and who joined the last minute (the day before tickets went on sale) just to get front row seats for the concert...always gets her stuff 1st and her club name begins with a "B"...

then like 2weeks later my friend in Indy gets hers (she joined the club the same day I did)...her club name begins with a "F"...

then a week or 2 goes by and I get mine (washington DC)
"my club name begins with a "P"...

then the next day my friend in Washington state gets hers...her club name begins with a "P"...

this goes for NPGMC emails as well. ALWAYS in that order, but for the email its a matter of several hours not days.

so yea!! i started to see a patteren...weather its by chance or not...its still a patteren.

thats all i brought up with this post...at this point who cares, good Lawd!!!
just asked a simple question.

maybe they just mail going by your real last name in alphabetical order?

The problem I have with the club is that yes they don't always answer you and then they sent me tourbooks that were ripped and said I couldn't return them. Now,I receive the box set and the booklet has scratches on it and the outside box is ripped on the corners. I don't know why they don't ship these boxed sets with Bubble wrapping for protection. I have told them that things get Damaged in Transit. Now,I know it's not Prince's fault cause he has more important things to worry about ,however I don't think the people sending out the merchandise are Conscientious enough with their Quality Control. And I really think they should check things before sending Damaged Merchandise/Goods to Fans . I don't think they would like Damaged goods sent to them. So isn't it Do Unto Others? I think it's a lack of care or Regard and Uncool for them and Quite Unprofessional also.

Getting damaged stuff! man that sucks! Hope mine aint damaged it will bug me forever!

If Natasha has a problem with the club then you know it's serious...

OK, so like Prince should enclose his own nickers in Natasha's box (we love you so don't worry, Natasha!) and personally lick and press the seal.

And like for everyone elses deliver Prince walks into the warehouse and, like lets out a funky fart, and if it hits your box a drug taking teenager swaps it on a street corner for Natasha's mobile telephone number, only its Tony M who provides it. And Tony M, with the box set in his hands gets nervous due to his failed attempts to sue Prince for money, so rather than get in trouble he gives it to a reliable brother- who being a star struck rap disciple, pawns his grandma to raise the funds to ship it to you. So it arrives, a little bit crumpled at the corners.
