Bargains

Re earlier postings on the Krauss "Ring" cycle, Amazon have now emailed indicating that anticpated delivery date is 8 to 11 November - hope springs eternally!

Best of luck to all those who are waiting for the Krauss - I bought my copy years ago for a much higher price

Gardiner: Bach Cantatas (56 cds) on SDG for £115.86 (delivered) from 'hive'.

http://www.hive.co.uk/cd/bach-cantatas/18015788/

This is a new site (at least to me) I found a week ago. Unfortunately, while checking out the site over that time prices have increased by at least 15% on a number of previously good bargains. The JEG is the exception being £112 when I first found it. The message is therefore that this price may well not last. It is not worth posting anything else from this site as the prices, although in many instances very competitive, are not bargains in the way that the word is used on this thread.

I ordered, and got confirmation of details of the box, 9 days ago. Still shown as "on order". Not the quickest at processing and dispatching orders then.

Anybody care to know who or what "Hive" is?

I had an e-mail today stating that Amazon were awaiting supplies but no anticipated delivery date was given. I feel sure that our patience will be rewarded.

A touch of Waiting For Godot about all this:

ESTRAGON: I can't go on like this.
VLADIMIR: That's what you think.

Or to borrow another famous Beckett quote from The Unnameable: 'I can't go, I'll go on.'

Or, as used in Berio's Sinfonia, "Call that going? Call that on?"

"And I close."

"And I close."

Thank you, M. Bryn.

Thank you, M. Bryn.

And , unsurprisingly, the Liszt box didn't ever arrive. Actually, not even the Joe Cocker arrived, despite assurances that something had been dispatched.
A refund is in progress, apparently.

Looks like. Was that also nicely alphabetically ordered according to composer names?

... yes indeed : from Astorga* to Zelenka.

Order status update now reads:

DELIVERY ESTIMATE: WE NEED A LITTLE MORE TIME TO PROVIDE YOU WITH A GOOD ESTIMATE. WE'LL NOTIFY YOU VIA E-MAIL AS SOON AS WE HAVE AN ESTIMATED DELIVERY DATE.

An insouciant email has been dispatched:

Hello,

We're still trying to obtain the following item[s] you ordered on October 01 2013


The automatons at the Behemoth River Snake have not placated this purchaser. Try harder.

(Ah, Thropplenoggin! Ah, humanity!)

Check your flat again. Perhaps the Joe Cocker set "came in through the bathroom window" unnoticed by you.
