Kevin Bresnahan Posted October 2, 2014 Author Report Posted October 2, 2014 I got an e-mail notice that my CDs were shipped. Yeah, I said CDs, plural. It turns out that they're having a sale and if you buy 3 CDs of a certain type, you get 25% off. I added a couple of Venus CDs and they all came to less than $60 including shipping - less than $20 each! Quote
king ubu Posted October 2, 2014 Report Posted October 2, 2014 Just took another three attempts - this really sucks, no way I get beyond the "Enter Shipping Address" step ... no answer yet from customer service, but I'm surely not using Chinese characters. Anyone here been able to order using either Opera or Firefox as browsers? I don't feel like installing another one just to find out it's not working there either. Also, the site is extremely slow.

king ubu Posted October 2, 2014 Report Posted October 2, 2014 Dang! Found I have Google Chrome and all of a sudden, there's this pink "use this address button" that isn't displayed with the other two browsers (but mousing over that era, the cursor does show there's a link - though how could I have known). Hate those flash and other crap sites. Now I need to find a third disc that doesn't push this over the limit, not sure that will work. otherwise it's just these two, which will be good enough even though rather pricey! Quote

king ubu Posted October 2, 2014 Report Posted October 2, 2014 Thx, I added the Owens/Barrons Atlantic - had to be a cheap one, all others I tried made the total too much to slip past the custom naz*s. But yeah, I've noticed the Zeitlin and plan to get it! Btw, only hmv.co.jp has those two it seems - they have the Zeitlin as well, but it would have been a few cents too much in the end. Quote
sidewinder Posted October 3, 2014 Report Posted October 3, 2014 Looks like an in-store visit to HMV Tokyo will be on the agenda - in between the Disk Unions ! Quote

Well done in getting an order placed....I can never get past the "use this address" page even with Google Chrome! Unfortunately for me, if CDJapan doesn't have it then neither do I! Quote

Well done in getting an order placed....I can never get past the "use this address" page even with Google Chrome! Unfortunately for me, if CDJapan doesn't have it then neither do I! Well, somewhere underneath the address fields, there ought to be a pink button that moves you ahead to the next step - it's not displayed here when using Opera or Firefox, but in Chrome it was there ... I hit it once, than shut Chrome and was able proceed in Opera as well, that step was just skipped as I guess the address was automatically saved as default. Try mousing around at the bottom of the address/mail/phone fields and wait for the cursor symbol to change (as it does when you mouse over links or buttons) and then click there ... might do the trick, if Chrome doesn't help you either.Hope you can manage! Seems their prices on some items are better than CDJapan's, too ... and that buy 3 thing and get a reduction is cool, too! Quote
king ubu Posted October 3, 2014 Report Posted October 3, 2014 the yellow area is where the invisible button is located: glad to see btw I'm not the only one running into this - this is pretty weird ... I had no reply from customer service before finding the hidden button, but still, they ought to fix that! Quote
king ubu Posted October 4, 2014 Report Posted October 4, 2014 Just got my shipping notification, yippie ki-yay! (And put in another order for a couple of Red Garlands, an Arnett Cobb and that Freddie McCoy one that all seem to be OOP and no longer in stock at CDjapan.) Any luck, Head Man? Quote
clifford_thornton Posted October 4, 2014 Report Posted October 4, 2014 I think you all will really enjoy this record. It's a killer. Quote
Homefromtheforest Posted October 4, 2014 Report Posted October 4, 2014 It better be good..I just paid $100 for a mint Japanese LP...should arrive in a week...solely based on all the fuss created here! :0 Quote
clifford_thornton Posted October 4, 2014 Report Posted October 4, 2014 I think it was around $60 new when it came out several years ago... Quote
Homefromtheforest Posted October 4, 2014 Report Posted October 4, 2014 (edited) I had actually never heard of it until this recent thread activity! But I trust your taste Clifford so I'm sure I won't be disappointed... Edited October 4, 2014 by Homefromtheforest Quote
king ubu Posted October 4, 2014 Report Posted October 4, 2014 I think you all will really enjoy this record. It's a killer. You're talking of the Gonsalves I assume? I've heard it, and I fully agree! Looking forward to having a proper reissue of it! Same for the Ronnie Ross ... couw made me a copy of that one, many moons agon, and it's really good as well! Quote

I'll try HMV again when I have another order that CDJapan can't fulfill. I'm really pleased with the service at CDJapan and they also operate a 'points' system which means I usually get a small discount every time I use them. Quote
king ubu Posted October 5, 2014 Report Posted October 5, 2014 Oh yes, I'm a happy customer there as well! Quote
jlhoots Posted October 6, 2014 Report Posted October 6, 2014 Finally ordered through HMV. Went much more smoothly than I would have thought from some of the above. Now we'll see if the order shows up. Says ready for "despatch"(sic)! Quote
king ubu Posted October 6, 2014 Report Posted October 6, 2014 Not sure if it's only a BE variant or just a general old-fashioned variant, but I've seen it before (prestoclassical.co.uk uses it as well when sending out their shipping - or despatch - confirmations) Quote
Kevin Bresnahan Posted October 8, 2014 Author Report Posted October 8, 2014 I came home to a package from HMV and I'm happy to say that after 7 years or searching, I am finally spinning Paul Gonsalves' "Boom-Jackie-Boom-Chick". It came to ~$20 with the discount, including the shipping. It sounds very good to my old ears. The piano sounds out of tune or like some rinky-dink piano in a couple of places but that's probably on the master. Quote

Clunky Posted October 8, 2014 Report Posted October 8, 2014 At over 4000 yen ( bought as a single disc) it will still probably get hit by UK customs make it cost close to £30 ! I'll pass on the Gonsalves for now. Quote
