Extremely disappointing customer service. Ordered a vinyl for £50 and cancelled the next day as per consumer rights and prior to the order being despatched. 10 days later I have not received my refund... See more

Not so exclusive as I thought


The store has a rather limited selection of vinyl records. I ordered a cool Elton John record three months before its release in October and had to place the order within two days to secure it—otherwise, I thought I wouldn’t get it at all. That’s how I understood it. Now that it’s been listed for sale again, it feels unfair. I waited all that time, thinking it was exclusive, only to see it available without the rush.

Quite frankly i’m insanely disappointed…

Quite frankly i’m insanely disappointed with this now. I placed my order back in June 2024, order was supposed to be shipped September 2024 and it is now JANUARY 2025 and I have received nothing. Bad World has not emailed be back in relation to my questions about where my record is or getting a refund. At this point I dont even want the record I just want my money back. I dont know if it’s because im from Ireland but ive ordered from Blood Recs before and never had an issue. Just insanely disappointed with this at this point

product Great But no communication

overall great experience on the product only losing one star for lack of communication for everyone who purchased . in the future i would love to receive any emails about delays in production i understand that it happens especially in the vinyl production world however, if i have ordered a product and you have emails instead of using instagram comments to mention delays why not send an email to all customers this would be much more efficient for all customers as some don't have instagram or x.

worth the wait!

although it took months to ship, it was worth the wait! the 1975 is my favorite band, and i am so stoked to have their latest album as a liquid vinyl! i collect vinyl and it’s the first liquid of my collection, and it plays perfect! i hope you guys do another the 1975 collab when they have their 10-year anniversary for ILIWYSFYASBYSUOI next year! pink liquid?!

The vinyl looks cool

The vinyl looks so cool, but mine is so warped and wobbly, I don’t know that I’ll ever play it. This was so expensive, and I waited so long to get it. I’m super disappointed

Amazing product, but atrociously long wait and bad customer service/delivery

I'm a huge 1975 and have been for over 10 years. So when this drop was announced, I was immediately sold. It was marketed as "available for 32 hours only", so I pounced. And then the long wait began. I have to say, I live outside the UK in the EU, so that might have had something to do with it. But still, it took extremely long for my parcel to arrive. It even got sent back once all the way to the UK, because they could not find my house. Customer service did not answer me, and I only got a hold of them when I publicly commented on the bloodrecs Instagram, that I was still waiting. When I finally held the LP in my hand, it was the 20th of December. So I waited over 6 months. And I have to say, it is extremely beautiful, a once in a lifetime purchase. Sadly, my experience was dampened by a horrendously long delivery time (which was not communicated upfront) and the less than stellar service. I am curious if this will remain an exclusive one-off drop, or if they will do a second pressing..

Takes awhile but great customer service

Love the record, it just took a long time to get it. I ordered back in June and they didn’t ship the package until October. Their customer service were quick to respond whenever i emailed them about it.

Hi Kianna, thanks for the review. This was the first time globally that anyone has shipped liquid-filled LP's at scale and it was using a new production method, we took a bit longer on the first release than usual as we really wanted to ensure that everything went smoothly. Going forward everything will be shipping schedule

Neat, but flawed - leaks

When I received the record, it was leaking. It's so cool, I don't want to return, but I do have to figure out how to seal it before I can actually play it.

I love Bad World

Ordered both, being funny in a foreign language by the 1975 and Gary by Blossoms, they both arrived quickly, well packed and fast. Can’t wait for the next drop!

Super happy with my record!

Since shipping it to the netherlands from uk will take time and might cost a little bit I was already prepared for that. But when it arrived everything was in perfect order! Im super happy with the record its such a unique and cool piece that I have out on a shelf, like an art piece! I’m super pleased with it!

What a beauty!

What an incredible album! Such a unique way to present The 1975 ‘Being Funny in a Foreign Language,’ and possibly my favourite variant of the album and it was worth the wait. It may actually be my favourite variant of any album and I honestly cannot wait to buy more great vinyls from Bad World as these liquid filled ones are just so relaxing to look at, but they’re a challenge to put back in the plastic sleeves as they’re so thick. But that’s a very small price to pay for such an incredible release. Looking forward to more great releases in the future

Loved the way Bad World is going about…

Loved the way Bad World is going about making unique pressings available to more people. Amazing quality. Very happy with the album and never get tired of watching the liquid move inside.

Customer service was great, I had a concern about how to store a liquid filled record to keep it safe. I got a very quick response reassuring me of how it was best to safely stored and maintained to make sure it would last.

From ordering to getting the record took ages, but not unexpected for the first major pressing they did.

Fast international shipping and sturdy packaging.

Unique product, but order management could be improved.

Great unique records, and good after-sales service when an item was missing from delivery, but was disappointed that a previous order wasn’t able to be cancelled shortly after purchase and customer service didn’t really seem to care - might depend on who you get, hence a star missing.
