Simply Red signed bundles

https://simplyred.tmstor.es

Not terribly pricey compared to some bundles so thought I’d post in case anyone fancies it.

Thank you itf!

Mick Hucknall is still missing in my collection, although I´m a fan of Simply Red´s music for many years now.

This could be a nice one but it is from tmstor (Townsend), and they have proved to be very unreliable those last months, to say the least.

I spent hundreds (even thousands) with them, but then they started to send unsigned item (Johnny Marr, Soft Cell, Central Lee,...) on purpose (you get a mail saying the item is not signed, you reply you don't want it, and you get it !). Not to mention earlier the printed stuff from Van Morrison, which they never recognized as stamps !!!

They never agreed on return shipping costs (and sending back an LP from France to the UK is the price of the LP for me !). Instead of replying about the shipping (at least 6 mails!), they just insulted me saying that I was not polite because I wrote that forcing to pay for an unsigned item - whereas it is supposed to be signed - is a fraud ! Which it is...

Besides since those are often pre-orders, you cannot ask Paypal to take action (only in the case of Central Lee could I ask Paypal to refund, and they took my side) because the initial purchase is well older than six months (when they insulted me, I cancelled ALL my orders from tmstor, some of them 2 year old, like Foxter & Hastings or Matt Gilmour !!).

So no Simply Red for me... Guess I'll survive (and I have already 2...).

I think I will open a specific thread about this when I have time (with copies of the 20+ emails I had to send to them & their replies, so that everybody can judge for themselves).

Townsend was (almost) very good over 2018-2021, but those days are over...

I even noticed some artists were leaving (like Tarja), so hope this is not going to be a new Pledge Music (anyway I cancelled all my orders, so no risk this time).

I am a big Simply Red fan but another thing to bear in mind is that Mick's sig nowadays is often a squiggle.

I am glad I am not the only one. I have had a lot of problems with my orders from Townsend in the past year or so! They have either gone missing, or they have been returned to sender for no good reason even though the mailing address is correct. They do try give me back a refund but what is the point of that if it was a signed item and I could no longer buy another one. I have to pay for new delivery costs when the item is returned to them. It has been very frustrating getting my orders from them, sigh.

So, the web banner reads "EXCLUSIVE LIMITED EDITION SIGNED ARTWORK PRINT WITH ALL BUNDLES" but I don't see any "bundles", just five items listed separately: for the new album:

Time Deluxe CD $17.00
Time Exclusive Red Vinyl LP $36.00
Time Black Vinyl LP $29.00
Time Standard CD $12.00
Time T-Shirt $36.00

Are the bundles maybe UK-only shown, or can I order a $12 CD and expect a signed print?

I see the previous album on purple vinyl w signed print: Official Simply Red: Time Store - Simply Red - Blue Eyed Soul Purpl...

Maybe with the confusion and bad service comments posted, I wait for a Newbury or other US source.
