Verification guidance

Use facts to decide

This page is informational. It helps artists and labels assess verification risk.

Why this page exists

This case is documented so other artists, labels, and shops can avoid similar uncertainty. When verification is missing, additional creators may face the same risk without clear records.

Scope note

Public records indicate label-side creative deliverables were reported as completed. The unresolved area remains manufacturing and shipping verification.

Verification checklist

  • Request a pressing plant name and job or PO number.
  • Ask for objective proof of production (test press logs, dated photos).
  • Confirm carrier pickup scans, not just label creation.
  • Verify consistent production location statements over time.
  • Check that sales pages remain available when verification is requested.

Risk signals to watch

  • Tracking labels remain at "Label Created" with no scans.
  • Conflicting claims about production location or status.
  • Sales pages removed after verification requests.
  • Refusal to provide objective production or shipping records.

What this site does not do

  • No allegations or labels.
  • No personal identifiers or emails.
  • No payment requests or settlement demands.
