djcavanagh Posted December 28, 2019 Report Posted December 28, 2019 I emailed them about my order of the new Mobley and Herman sets (plus the Armstrong Decca set) to London and got a shipping notification the next day, so it is probably worth emailing them. Quote
hbbfam Posted December 28, 2019 Report Posted December 28, 2019 I have had good success in talking with Scott directly. The phone number is 203-327-7111. He has always responded to my emails as well. Quote
king ubu Posted December 29, 2019 Report Posted December 29, 2019 Got the Herman fairly early (and just played the first half of it, up to/including the Carnegie Hall concert – mighty fine!), but no news whatsoever on the Mobley, while a friend who ordered much later than me got a shipping notification two weeks ago ... guess I'll send a mail soon. On the other hand, shipping the Herman took them (aka Scott himself and alone?) about 3 months it seems ... Quote
Ken Dryden Posted December 29, 2019 Report Posted December 29, 2019 It is frustrating that I ordered both sets immediately when they were announced yet others have received copies before mine were even shipped. There must be a randomness to filling the orders. Quote
mjzee Posted December 29, 2019 Report Posted December 29, 2019 My Mobley is scheduled for delivery this Friday. Quote

I got my Herrman weeks after others, and if I hadn't sent a number of emails about it my pre-paid pre-ordered set probably would still be unnoticed. I got the Mobley very quickly thereafter, no doubt because of my nagging them about the Herman. Seems they have farmed the shipping out to someone who is. . . challenged to deliver speedy service.

The outfit doing the shipping is IMO not competent. I recall ordering the Mingus and receiving an Eddie Condon. Scott put it right, but I suspect it was his effort rather than the shippers'. I ordered the Mobley just 1 week ago. Got an order confirm, but no shipping notice yet. But I paid via Paypal and specified media mail, which I suspect are 2 "kisses of death" ( my bad): for Paypal transactions Mosaic takes the money right away rather than when the order ships, and the confirm warned that media mail takes extra time.

mjzee Posted December 29, 2019 Report Posted December 29, 2019 I always pay a little extra to have them ship via UPS. It saves a lot of agita. Quote
jlhoots Posted December 30, 2019 Report Posted December 30, 2019 Out-sourcing is often a problem!! Quote
Clunky Posted December 30, 2019 Report Posted December 30, 2019 I got my shipping email regards the Mobley within 24hrs of sending a gently nagging message.... Scott again at work sorting things...? Quote

Did get a shipping notice on this one, but it takes them a while to get it across the country to the Left Coast. gregmo Quote
Kevin Bresnahan Posted January 1, 2020 Report Posted January 1, 2020 (edited) I've never had this happen before. I'm going to have to call Scott tomorrow to see if they "lost" my order. Not the best time to start missing orders. Edit: I just found my order confirmation from Mosaic. I ordered on February 18th, which would appear to be right around the day they announced it.

jazzbo Posted January 1, 2020 Report Posted January 1, 2020 (edited) They definitely lost track of my Herman preorder and I had to prod more than thrice to get it going, so I recommend contacting Scott and getting that started. It's not the Mosaic of old operations wise, but the sets are worth the effort. Edited January 1, 2020 by jazzbo Quote

What's the rational for that gap? (I haven't finished reading the booklet yet, so maybe it's explained there.) Quote
sidewinder Posted January 3, 2020 Report Posted January 3, 2020 (edited) According to Scott there’s currently a backlog of about 500 shipments - the Herman and Mobley sets must be selling well. My sets should be on their way in a couple of weeks. Edited January 3, 2020 by sidewinder Quote

jazzbo Posted January 3, 2020 Report Posted January 3, 2020 I wouldn't read too much into those numbers. I received mine over a week ago and it was in the 800s. Quote
sgcim Posted January 3, 2020 Report Posted January 3, 2020 Mobley never really got the attention he deserved. David Rosenthal (Hard Bop) and Owens (Bebop) only mentioned his name in listing personnel of a record. Quote
Rooster_Ties Posted January 3, 2020 Report Posted January 3, 2020 (edited) 8 CD’s total, how is it packaged? Two 4-disc “fat-boy” jewel boxes? - like the old Andrew Hill and Larry Young boxes? Or is it housed in four 2-disc “slim-line” jewel boxes? - I think that’s what they’re called. I mean the ones that house 2 CD’s in the space (thickness) of a standard 1-CD Jewel Box (like the Elvin Jones 8-disc set). Edited January 3, 2020 by Rooster_Ties Quote
