As to what's going on I wouldn't be surprised if it's not another Brexit 'benefit'."The sound is the handwriting of the conductor" - Bernard Haitink

Not entirely sure...I ordered a cd on eBay only to receive an email from the seller saying it was damaged in their warehouse so they didn't want to sell it (yes, I don't believe that for a millisecond - more likely that they saw how much the other copies sell for elsewhere) so they asked me for an alternative. I suggested one but the email I received back implied they'd found another copy of the first one. At least it will be a surprise!
DVD wise, in a moment of silliness, I ordered both Lego movies from eBay for £3. I missed the 2nd one at the cinema a couple of years ago. Looking forward to seeing them both hopefully at the weekend!Best regards,
Jonathan

I ordered the newly released Furtwängler Warner boxed set from Amazon last Friday, September 24. To my surprise they sent me an email that evening saying that delivery would be made by the Royal Mail with a delivery date quoted of the next day. Aside from the fact that we don't have a parcel delivery on a Saturday, I've not had a parcel ('delivery by Amazon' quoted on the order) handed over to the Royal Mail by Amazon for several years.
Now getting an email saying if it hasn't arrived today then I can ask for a refund but parcel deliveries here are slow at the best of times and I wouldn't expect it by the end of this week, if then.
What's going on here? Anyone else having similar messages?"The sound is the handwriting of the conductor" - Bernard Haitink

If it doesn't come, can you cancel the first and order this instead?
I occasionally find DPD or Royal Mail (not good - they won't leave it on the step & take it away to a depot......) are the courier, but it is quite rare, yes - usually its Amazon Logistics...

It's not so much that the set hasn't arrived as my wondering if others have had similar responses with orders placed at around the same time."The sound is the handwriting of the conductor" - Bernard Haitink

I might need to duck for cover for this but the DVD of the NY Met's production of the Glass (in association with Shalom Goldman, Robert Israel, Richard Riddell and Jerome Robbins) opera, Akhnaten. I went to the original E.N.O staged production and am intrigued to see and hear what this later production has to offer. It has no real chance of redeming the drop-off in Glass's work that it represents but a certan curate might grin and bear it. I received a Royal Mail 2nd Class dispatch notification today.

A few late birthday treats to myself:
FURT - equals
FURT - sense
Regarding the latter, I was attracted to the description:
'Too often, critics make an automatic separation between ‘emotion’ and ‘intellect’, a framework which will get one nowhere with FURT. Instead, their music shows graphically how fused, how inseparable are the two. As Richard Barrett puts it: "The music is motivated by emotional and sensual considerations as much as by anything else. Without wishing to sound too pretentious I think it’s concerned with finding and exploring (musical) states of consciousness to which the word ‘ecstasy’ might well be completely appropriate (at least in an etymological sense)."'
Just a few days ago I was reading a trip report entitled 'Ek-stasis' where someone describes their LSD trip as ecstatic in the literal etymological sense as standing outside oneself.
