General Classical Music Discussion / Re: On-line Stores & Sellers
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.

I have every confidence that she'll rebound well. What surprised me, I guess (and I suppose I ought not to let it surprise me) is that we still have COVID fatalities.

Last post by T. D. - Today at 05:33:12 PMQuote from: Spotted Horses on May 02, 2024, 09:40:58 PMI remember, many years ago, enjoying Maugham's Of Human Bondage, but I tried to read it again and fount it utterly insufferable. The Razor's Edge might be a better bet.
The Moon and Sixpence, somewhat based on Paul Gauguin, is rather good. I enjoyed it.

Last post by AnotherSpin - Today at 04:46:20 PMQuote from: vers la flamme on Today at 04:08:04 PMThis definitely whetted my interest, thanks. I've long been curious about the wave among generations previous to my own of Europeans traveling to India for extended periods of time on quests of spiritual self-discovery, a wave that it appears you may have been a part of–so maybe I'll have to grill you on your experiences some day
