Until Feb. 7 Abeille Musique offered it around EUR 13 or so.  :o But that's history now.

Winter will come around once again, my friend. :D

You must be paying a fortune to have CD's shipped to you From Europe ...   ;)

German postal service doesn't handle international package delivery.  They have subcontracted that to DHL which is independent and not cheap.

I thought DHL is owned by Deutsche Post?

Actually, Abeille turned out to be fairly cheap considering the kind of discounts they were offering. Of course, I didn't bite this time around.

That place looks like it was running going-out-of-business sales - liquidation sales.

They aren't likely to go anywhere now that they have GMG's undivided attention. :D They were probably just enticing us; and if so, they have succeeded admirably!

I do not have any desire to buy anything from them since I only buy from the UK e-tailers, which generally have excellent selections when it comes to early music ...

Bummer. I think they just lost a quarter of their potential customer base. :(

( ;) Just kidding.)

BTW,  BRO offers great prices with dirt-cheap shipping for US buyers.  It provides me excellent opportunities to fill in some of the gaps in my collection, which are often not the most popular selections ...

Sometimes I forget you're writing from India.  :D

Yes, true, but then the world gets destroyed in 2012. So, the Abeille Winter sale will probably occur only once more. :(

Abeille was giving free shipping (to the US anyway) if you bought 16 or more items. So from that point of view, also a  big win.
Be kind to your fellow posters!!

? They operate in many other countries including the USA and Latin America, so they are more like Fedex or UPS than a branch of a national postal service.

Crap. I gave Abeille Musique the wrong address. It's gonna get returned to them.

I don't speak French. What do I do?

Send them an email in English? I seem to remember someone mentioning that they scommunicated with them in English.

The other two alternatives:

- Take a crash course in written French
- moving to the location you submitted

somehow doesn't seem very practical.

Third alternative:

- Q could probably help you with some nice email in French.
