Longest outstanding CD or similar order

[Dave2002]

I think I still have an active order from before Christmas 2012 - a set of Reginald Kell playing clarinet music. Is this a record?

[I shall ignore the obvious ... "no, it's a CD set."]

Doesn't sound very active

I placed an order for that on 12 Dec 2012 and am still waiting. At the time I seem to remember posting this elusive bargain on the bargain thread.

Mine's still on order too. Should I make mention of it in my Will?

My order for the aforementioned Reginald Kell CD was placed on 4th Dec 2012. Hafod - your elusive bargain seems to resemble hen's teeth!

Does anyone on these boards own a copy? ...and how much did they pay for it?

You haven't named the shop. (or online business). Can we ask who?

A quick check shows Amazon UK. There's currently a market place seller offering it for £172.99!

It'll probably go the way of that Sainsbury's Messiaen set a while back. I had the update emails for a very long while before they finally gave out.

Probably a good idea to contact the seller; on the occasions when there has been a delay in fulfillment, I usually find that the seller has lost track of the order. Alternatively, they may have sent it and it's gone missing in the post.

Dave, I would still contact them via the email query option. That's obviously an automated response. Given the timeframe you have waited it is clearly ridiculous that they have not been able to provide you with an estimated delivery date. My best bet is that they never had the item in stock, thought they could source it from another supplier and when that didin't happen, just left your order hanging. Some of these marketplace sellers have software which enables them to show an item as in stock and at a lower price than competitors, even when they don't actually have the items on hand.

Sadly, I think you're going to have to bite the bullet, cancel and re-order elsewhere.

Sometimes I've had to wait a very long time for the dealer to admit that the CD is nla, but not as long as 6 months.

Mine too - Amazon doing their surveillance on the board?
