Because we produce the exact number of packages for the exact number of Vault members during a given quarter, any payment received after a payment deadline will not be accepted for the previous quarter. Instead, it will automatically be applied to the next quarter of membership.
For example, if you pay after January 31st, your payment will be credited to the next quarter, whose deadline would be April 30th.
Third Man Records is committed to providing high quality products, so if you think there is a fault with an item you have received, please contact us within 14 days of receiving your package. Do not send items back without first receiving a go ahead from us.

Third Man Records strives to offer the best and fastest possible shipping service for our Vault packages. Therefore, US packages are sent via US Postal Service, and International packages are shipped via Asendia USA.
All recipients will be sent tracking information via email in addition to a shipping confirmation email.
The Vault Novelties shop is a password-protected, Vault-members-only area of our online store where we will post exclusive products and releases for sale. The items in the Vault Novelties shop are limited and first-come-first-served. Once an item is out of stock, it is unlikely to ever become available again. The same policies for the Third Man Records online store apply to the Vault Novelties shop.
We want our fans to purchase our records for the same reasons we create our records: because we love vinyl, we love music, and we love art. We do monitor eBay, and if we happen across a Vault member who is selling records meant to be exclusive to Vault members, we are at liberty to permanently terminate that Vault member's subscription.
We hope that the common interest Vault members share with one another translates into positive interactions and a good time had by all. If you are experiencing harassment by another Vault member, please contact vault@thirdmanrecords.com. Screenshots of interactions in question and a fair and detailed description of the incident/s will make it easier for us to address the issue.
