The Diner / Re: 7 Favorite Stanley Kubrick...
Last post by atardecer - Today at 08:43:45 PMI find his movies are brilliant visually and also often brilliant in terms of the concepts and ideas he explores. Everything else - story, dialogue, characters and his use of sound I find underwhelming.
So I have mixed feelings about his films. Can't say I have any favorites.
This said I've only seen:
2001: A Space Odyssey
A Clockwork Orange
Barry Lyndon
The Shining (I think he ruined the ending of The Shining)
Eyes Wide Shut

General Classical Music Discussion / Re: On-line Stores & Sellers
Last post by Madiel - Today at 08:36:41 PMWeird things can happen to packages AND to tracking systems. I think I narrated the bizarre case where something I ordered from a seller in the USA allegedly got close to my door before going back to Melbourne, and had CLEARLY been repackaged within Australia before I finally received it.
My favourite part was the tracking system recording an attempted delivery in a different suburb of the city followed by the comment that I was not known at that random address.
But somehow it still did turn up after all that. I really didn't think it would. But it did.

Last post by Brian - Today at 06:22:02 PMQuote from: Spotted Horses on Today at 12:06:52 AMDid you not notice that they switched from Euros to dollars on final invoice amount? Subtracting VAT and converting Euros to USD would give a slightly larger number.Although this is possible, I just checked again and the totals use euro symbols. I just tallied up the cart. The total is 185 euros before I proceed to checkout, then increases to exactly 200 euros at checkout with the euro symbol, with a quoted USD conversion to $216 and then $29 postage and $6 exchange fee. When I choose to pay in euros, it quotes me a subtotal of 200 euros plus shipping - even though on the previous "view basket" page, the subtotal was 185.
The increase in price is almost exactly the same as the percentage of Texas state sales tax. So that explains that. But...why no VAT deduction? Germany's VAT is apparently 19%, so my total subtracting 19% and then adding back 8% should be approx 162 euros, not 200.
EDIT: I do feel kind of rude replying with all this while you have a more serious issue with an item you actually ordered that vanished.
