The Abbado Sony set is preparing to dispatch (although I expect it to get terminated today)...

It's like the airlines . . . the flights which are to be cancelled, they won't tell you they're cancelled until 10 minutes before you're expecting to board . . . .

Unfortunately, the "preparing to dispatch" status on an Amazon Marketplace order merely appears as a matter of course.  It only means anything for orders direct from Amazon.

Whilst waiting for my Sony box set splurge to be cancelled, I came across this corker of a SDCB for all you baroque opera/zarzuela fans :



at Amazon.co.uk http://www.amazon.co.uk/José-Nebrá-Iphigenia-Tracia-Zarzuela/dp/B005IAQHRM/ for £4.99

No delivery to Norway.....

Or Taiwan.  I gave up pretty much right away.  Something fishy about the whole thing: "If it sounds too good to be true..."
It's all good...

About yesterday's deals : more than 24 hours have passed and apparently still no sending confirmation received by anyone... Not a good sign, now in such cases sellers usually wait before cancelling because they want to delay the negative feedback.

Papy Oli

OK just received mine, too, for all orders made with Dodax, Nagiry and Marvelio, seemingly the same company.

Those made with Zoreno still stand (for how long ?). Edit : received, 10 minutes later. Kinda confirms all these names are for the same seller ?

Don't forget to leave seller feedback, such behaviours should have consequences, and complaining is all we can do !
All links for feedback are here : http://bons-plans-classique.blogspot.fr/2014/10/commandes-annulees-quel-recours.html

And Zoreno now cancelled too for the FR order of Living Stereo 2 ...all goners  ;D

On the plus, side, the Festetics turned up next day from an other MP - very impressed

I have cancellations from both living stereo boxes, claiming that the retailer does have them.
Perahia will follow me thinks. Couple of crooks!
Perchance I am, though bound in wires and circuits fine,
yet still I speak in verse, and call thee mine;

are sweeter far than any stage could hear.

The boxes are already relisted at higher prices. They are not only crooks, but lying crooks. Well, lesson learnt, Never deal with them. And leave harsh feedback!

Yes I forgot the lying part, but your right of course. I left harsh feedback, but I doubt that they will take it to heart.
And I will certainly never deal with them again.

All mine got cancelled too.

Care to share your feedback?  Here's mine.

1 out of 5 stars

"A classic example of a time wasting seller. Advertising many, many in stock but pull the plug when you order. Won't be looking at your website again or your associate sellers. Hard pushed to give one star. If you ain't got it, don't list it!"

Murray Perahia cancelled too. I am pissed, and will never order anything with them again.
