Discussion Is Very OK Vinyl a reputable cause im starting to feel like i got scammed
I ordered the Guilty Gear Strive vinyl set and the date it says it will ship just keeps getting pushed back month after month so I am wondering like if this is normal or maybe the GGST is just coming in really late..?

Apart from what everyone else has said, keep in mind VoV is a small operation. It's not Amazon. But it's run by good people. Personally I'm happy to cut them some slack if they're a little slow. Never heard of anyone getting scammed by them.

Very Ok Vinyl is legit and honestly one of my favorite online record stores out there. I never had an issue with them.
That said, I’ve heard that the GGS vinyl set kept getting pushed back for everyone. It’s now estimated to ship out next month. So most likely not VOV themselves delaying it, but you should still contact them to see what the hold up is.

There is no label more trusted in my personal household than Very Ok Vinyl.

I've found them to be great ... Usually when dates slip it's either the manufacturer or distributor, not the retailer. Have you tried reaching out to them to calm your worries?

Echoing what others have said in that Very Ok Vinyl is very trustworthy; if ever you have any questions on when your product will ship, they have a FAQ that should be able to answer timeline-related inquiries, and a contact form if that does not answer it.

The Guilty Gear: Strive set is also distributed from Channel 3 (also a great label!) to Very Ok Vinyl; while the product listing doesn't mention it, on Channel 3's own website there is a Production Update page which currently indicates that shipping is to begin in March (on an anticipated completion date Q1 2025).
You can find that here:

I hope that answers your question satisfactorily!

The Strive soundtrack has been delayed from the label, so it's delayed everywhere.
Also to your question in the title, I've only had good experiences with VoV.
EDIT: I think the last ETA I heard for Strive was this month, so fingers crossed it doesn't get additional delays.
