Vault package #24 -- the Loretta Lynn Van Lear Rose package -- is now officially leaving Third Man headquarters starting tomorrow! We are shipping in reverse alphabetical (Z-A) order by LAST NAME, starting with international Vault members, then moving to US Vault members. USPS tracking info will be sent with all shipping notification emails.
As usual, please hold questions regarding package #24's status, condition, etc. until all packages have shipped (about 1 week), so that we can focus on getting these packages out to you guys as efficiently as possible.
And, of course, keep your eyes fixed on your mailbox over the next few weeks!

Plus I have to send printed evidence (copies of original orders) along with the completed forms for evidence of how much I’ve paid.
Didn’t receive my package today in the UK, but I got a strange letter from the Border Force agency asking me to complete 2 documents with loads of details about the items and what they cost etc. They even want me to break down the cost of each item individually (not sure how I’ll do that).
They won’t release my package until I complete the form, then they’ll charge me Customs/VAT etc and then I’ll get the goods.
This is the first time in 24 packages I’ve received one of these, anyone else in the UK got one, any help appreciated.
Many thanks
Alan
I got mine today in Lancashire. Twice. Now, I’m an honest sort so I’ve let Third Man know but I promise not to be too disappointed if they tell me not to send it back across the Atlantic.
There are only 4 photos and 1 5×7 gold embossed rose postcard thus the confusion about 5 photos. Check TMR post from June 1st and it shows there are 4 8×8 glossy pics of Loretta and Jack…loving my package, Third Man! So speedy..The DVD left me wanting more, of course.. Encore! Thanks TMR, as always…
I just got mine yesterday and the White Stripes 45 is missing from my package. Also I too only got 4 pictures.
Oh man, this dvd is everything I thought it’d be, except that it’s too short! The Jack’n’Loretta love fest is so beautiful, I’m so grateful they shared this with us but it leaves me craving more. It’s interesting and funny and intimate and endearing. Fitting, too, that they recorded parts of it on the same sofa from the Miss Being Mrs. video. And, as if i didn’t love Have Mercy enough already, every time I listen to it from now on I’m gonna hear Elvis singing it in my head.
Oh wow, I had forgotten all about the bonus track. It’s lovely. Would love to know who the “Nashvillain” is.
I received mine yesterday! F in California. I got to enjoy listening to the vinyl for the first time. The interview and all contents on the DVD were a great bonus. The White stripes singing “Rated X” with Loretta! So great! The pin is lovely, such a great addition to the collection. All my photos were there and in great shape. The postcard with the Van Lear Rose is framed and gorgeous. I’m happy with the color of the record and glad the sound is great, no scratches or defects.
Thanks Jack and Third Man. You have kept me a happy little fan. Basking in Loretta.
No complaint sandwich for me thanks…. Just lookin forward to # 24 and #25 and #26 …. StL_Ben was even talking about #50 the other day… Thats some serious blonde ambition if you ask me but i am likin the sound of it and looking forward to opening my package… What?!!… Not quite gold or not specifically as advertised?… Yeah… That does make for turmoil… But whenever…. And i mean whenever something has come up missing the staff has always pulled it and sent it immediately….. THANKS TMR …. THANKS JACK… THANKS BEN AND BEN …. THANKS CAM… ecetera ecccetteeeerrra!
I only saw four photographs in the announcement, and four is what I got. Possibly the “fifth” was actually the cover of the DVD?
