ejp626 Posted September 12, 2020 Report Share Posted September 12, 2020 Well, this turn of events is deeply upsetting. Amazon.ca says that the Palo Alto date is going to be unavailable and they have cancelled my order. At the moment, Amazon.co.uk says the item is out of stock (and doesn't appear to be made available again). It's coming out soon in the US, though the proposed shipping (to Canada) is pure extortion. I guess I don't need this after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After it was suddenly legit to sell in the US, it should have been just as legal to sell in Canada. I'm sure it is a totally pointless protest, but I refuse to buy this until it is available in Canada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted September 13, 2020 Report Share Posted September 13, 2020 $13 is a lot. Did you look at DG. They’re going to have it. Maybe eBay sellers in Canada will have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted September 17, 2020 Report Share Posted September 17, 2020 This is a damn good record. 1 Palo Alto > all the Columbias by this band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejp626 Posted September 17, 2020 Report Share Posted September 17, 2020 Supposedly, now available on Amazon.ca again with release date of tomorrow. I'll have to have my wife put in the order as I don't have Prime. (While definitely a first-world problem, I'm still PO'ed that they jumped the gun and completely cancelled the order instead of just pushing back delivery date, since it seemed likely it would be made available to Canada along with the US. In the process, they disrupted a bundled order that did qualify for free shipping but no longer does after I have to buy the Monk as a stand-alone item.)

Since Columbia Monk is sort of "the sound of Monk" for me, this is encouraging. Unlike some no shipping notice yet, expected delivery is the 22nd though.

bertrand Posted September 17, 2020 Report Share Posted September 17, 2020 Just got a shipping notice from Deep Discount. Curious as to why it was still on pre-order on their site after the release date, but I was not in a hurry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzbo Posted September 17, 2020 Report Share Posted September 17, 2020 Thanks to the new management of USPS there will be delays. I'm still waiting for mine from amazon UK. No hurry, plenty to listen to, just want to have it in hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Gould Posted September 18, 2020 Report Share Posted September 18, 2020 Wish I could pop it in and start listening but I am in training - remotely - on a new gig. No idea when the boss is going to call or initiate a zoom meeting to go over something new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
