The act of collecting anything on Metalabel is a personal act. Meaning, your collection belongs to you personally, not the label(s) you may be a part of.
Collecting creative work is simple. Once you collect, an order confirmation email is sent to you. If you created an account during checkout, your release will also appear in the Collected tab when you click your user profile icon on the left.
If you used guest check out, you can use the same email to create a user profile later at any time and all releases collected under that email will appear in the Collected tab. You cannot migrate your collection from one user page to another.
Collected item(s) appear in the Collected tab in your user profile menu. This is a public page that anyone can view.
Creators are responsible for fulfilling all orders. If the item is digital, it is usually available for download immediately following purchase confirmation. You can access all your digital downloads in this Collected tab any time. If the item is physical, the creators will process and relay shipping details when order processing is in motion.
Collection number and editions
Collecting creative work on Metalabel means more than commercial transaction. It’s an act of appreciation sent to the folks behind the creative work you support. We celebrate the uniqueness of your ownership by sharing with you your collector number and edition number.
A collector number tells you how many people have collected the same work for the same edition prior to you. If you are collector #1 it means you are the first supporter of that limited availability creative work. Yay. In the example here, Thaniya is collector #40 for the first edition of The Creative Independent’s publication On dealing with creative anxiety print edition.
After checkout you will receive a downloadable collector card that you can share with friends or to social media.
If you have any questions about the status of physical collected releases, contact the label through the link in your order confirmation email.
