Notes for June 2011
Number of items in this month's catalogue: 7
1. Back-ordered Dohnanyis from April: Hungaroton is unable to supply the full amount ordered by their distributor so, of the 21 pieces I have in my back-order column, only 12 will be filled this month. But it is worth waiting for...
2. Major pricing error from supplier: The Tchaikovsky The Enchantress offered last month (05M037) was plainly mispriced in its release book at single-disc price - i.e. $9.98 retail. Figuring this was obviously a mistake, I made it $19.98, although a typo represented this as $.9.98, matching it with a different Melodiya three-CD set offered by that distributor. But no, after almost two weeks of waiting for confirmation, I was told that the price is $29.98 - still comfortably mid-price but ten bucks more than I thought it would be. If you ordered this, expecting it to be $9.98 or $19.98, I need to know if you want it at the actual price of $29.98. Before the recession, I might have just filled orders and taken the losses but I just can't afford to do that in this economic climate.
